bonds are the best security which can
be offered in borrowing money. They
will obtain for you the best terms
possible. Ask any bank if you de-
sire to borrow money on your Liberty
bonds.
Collecting Interest.
Do get any interest on my money
while it is loaned to my government
A. Yes; the government will pay
you interest at the rate Of Ala per
cent. a year on the Third Liberty
Loan bonds.
Q. How do collect the INTEREST,"
A. Attached to each bond is an en-
graved sheet Of interest coupons, one
for each six months period. When the
interest date arrives, you cut off the
interest coupon Of that date and take
it to any bank, where it may be CASH
ed or deposited.
@. How often do I get this INTEREST,"
A. Every six months.
@. Is there any way I can collect
my interest without having to cut the
coupons9
A. Yes; you can get the government
to give you a Registered" bond; that
is, a bond without any coupons at
tached and with your name written on
the bond; and each six months, as the
interest falls due, the treasury de-
partmenr will send you by mail a
check in payment of the interest.
@. Then are there two kinds of Lib
erty bondsf
A. Yes; bonds with interest cou.
pons attached, which are called "bear
er" or coupon" bonds, and bond.
which do not have coupons attached
