be grand success. The people
have perhaps never before been
80 thoroughly and enthusiastically
united. Every organization and help
full agency has been enlisted and all
are working together most indus
triously and harmoniorisly. 1t is en-
tirelv safe TO predict that the loan
will be largely oversubscribcd

is So. 399. $50 and the maximum
Sl279S. 500. The present indication
Is that the minimum will be lost sight
of and that the maximum will be
doubly subscribed.
ANY subscriber wishing TO pay in
full for his bonds at the time OF
making has subscriptions can do So.
Ii he prefers TO pay by the govern
ment installment plan, > per cent Of
the amount of his subscription will
be required at the time his application
Is filed, 20 per cent on May 2S, 35
per cent on July Is and 40 per cent
on August l5. Subscribers by the
partial payment plan, as revised and
improved for use IN Wilmington, will
be required 10 pay 4 per cent of their
subscriptions at the time they are
made and s per cent each month
thereafter for II months The latter
plan VII be operated through the
Liberty Loan Bank OF the Association
of Allied Banks. Local banks and
trust companies Will act as agents and
Will accommodate their customers
who wish TO take bonds bv this plan.

family The subscribers for the
FIRST Liberty Loan Of g, ,oG0, 900 900
numbered four millions, those for the
second Liberty Loan Of s3.0O0,0OO.-
600 numbered nine millions. II
present plans succeed twenty mil
Irons of American freenen Will testify
their devotion 10 the government By
taking the Third Liberty Loan Bonds
There Is no security ID which
money may be invested that is com
parable with the Liberty Bond, and
the rate Of "A per cent interest, at
which the new issue will be fioated Is
an extraordinary return on govern
rnent loans Certain it Is that all
credit Is based upon faith and coll
hdence III the government, and that
the conservation Of all wealth rests
upon the security the government
affords. 4 Liberty Bond takes
precedence OF all State, municipal
and corporate issues, and should be
the hrst choice Of al persons looking
tor safe and reliable investment.
1t Is scarcely belieyable hat anv
one will fail to be moved by the lofty
purpose Of the loan indeed il IS

parent that all who can will respond

this call will show to the world II
