BANKS IRE LOAN|NG
At LOW INTEREST
! RATE FOR BONDS
NINETY-DAY LOANS AND THEN
RENEWALS ARE GRANTED
TO STIMULATE
BUYING.

The banks and trust companies Of
Cleveland have made big concession
to prospective bond buyers in the
hope of stimulating larger purchases
of Liberty Bonds-which we simply
must have If we are not to fail in this
Fourth Liberty Loan.
It Is the earnest hope of the Central
Liberty Loan Committee of this
Fourth Federal Reserve District that
every bank and trust company in the
district follow the plan which the
Cleveland banks have announced
The Cleveland banks make loans up
to 80 per cent Of the par value Of sub
scriptions for ninety days from Octo-
Der 2ath on bonds purchased through
their institutions. The interest rate is
the bond coupon rate-4A per cent
Then the banks agree to renew such
loans at the expiration of the ninety
days for another period of ninety
days if the loan has been sufficiently
reduced to indicate the good intent Of
the subscriber. The interest rate on
the ninety-day renewal is only one
half of 1 per cent in excess Of the
Federal Reserve banks discount rate
on such loans. While the Federal Re
serve banks discount rate is subject
to slight change from time to time, 1t
stands right now at Az per cent.
The loans made by the Cleveland
banks are not going to be allowed to
interfere with the borrowers regular
line of credit at the bank. The terms
are made simply to encourage larger
subscriptions.

his father, mother, one brother,
three sisters, a grandfather, Henry
Dickerson and a grandmother, Mrs.
Sarah Snow. These all have the
sympathy, not only of the commun-
ity of which they are part, but the
hearts of the people of great nation
go out to them and to the many
others with them, who today mourn
for the sound of voice that is stilled
forever here and the footstep of one
who will meyer return. And from
over the seas there comes from the
hearts of a people desolate from the
loss of their own sons the spirit of
grateful sympathy to those who here

at the altar of Supreme Sacrifice.

fee he has made and the obedience to
Eternal Right which he has rendered

A MAInP,S 'sT0PY


New York Oct. 16th:-Three years
ago, Thomas G. Sterrett, then ser
geant in the U. S. Marine Corps,
came to this city to start a press
bureau for the devil dogs. Today
he wears the insignia of a major of
Marine the result of a surprise
visit from Colonel A. S. McLemore
who journeyed from Washington to
with the gold leaves of major
replace the captains silver bars
Sterrett is the first enlisted man in
the Marine Corps to reach field rank
since war was declared.
Major Sterrett is a former news
paper man and halls from Erie Penn.
Major Sterrett adds the following,
which we fully appreciate:
In that last line there is a bit of
pathos too. The idea of overcom-
ing the handicap of hailing from
Erie! But then, maybe this isn't
your idea of news. To me however
the story has everything-even the
elements of boundless nerve, unmit-
igated gall, trapped conscience, and
| think it is THERE. Anyway it's
honest-to-goodness

Can Now Eat And Sleep in Comfort
If troubled with Indigestion or
sleeplessness you shocld read what
Miss Agnes Turner Chicago, has to
say: "Overwork, irregular meals and
carelessness regarding the ordinary
rules of health gradually undermined
it until last fall 1 became a wreck
of my former self. 1 suffered from
continual headache, was unable to di-
gest my food, which seemed to lay as
a dead weight on my stomach. 1 was
very constipated and my complexion
became dark, yellow and muddy as I
felt. Sleeplessness was added to my
misery, and I would awake as tired as
when I went to sleep. 1 heard of
Chamberlain's Tablets and found such
relief after taking them that I kept
up the treatment for nearly two
months. They cleansed my stomach,
invigorated my system, and since that
time I can eat and sleep in comfort.
i am today entirely well"
