Hold Your Liberty Bonds

One who subscribes for Liberty
Bond and gets credit as patriot for
doing so Is not acting periodically II
he Immediately sells that bond, that
IA. unless he imperatively needs the
money, says Secretary McAdoo 1t Is
not the mere subscription that helps
the Government, II Is the actual loan;
shifting the bond to some one else
does not help.
The same objection lies to exchang-
ing Liberty Loan Bonds in trade. Mer-
chants offering to take Liberty Loan
Bonds in exchange for merchandise
are doubtlessly actuated by patriotic
motives, but such transactions tend
to defeat primary object Of the bond
sale, the encouraging of thrift and the
discouraging OF expenditures. Bonds
so exchanged are in most cases i'm
mediately sold on the open market
which tend to depress the market
price and affects adversely the sales
OF future issues.
Secretary McAdoo expressly states
that there Is no desire on the part OF
the Government to prevent or inter
fere with legitimate trading, in good
faith, In Liberty Bonds.
1t Is one of the great objects of the
Treasury Department to have these
bonds held as permanent investments
by the people and paid for out of saw
ings, thus at once providing funds for
the Government and conserving labor
and material
There are the soundest reasons for
holding Liberty Bonds. Their quo
tations under par on the stock eX-
change means loss only to those
who sell The financial history of
of peace all of its bonds have gone
above par, some az high as 1879. The
tremendous growth of our resources
and Of our trade, our domestic trade
alone having increased from 100000
100000 to $4,000, 100000 in the last
four years, warrants the belief that
our Government bonds are the sound
est investments in the world and with
the restoration of peace conditions
will command a handsome premium
IN the market.

Written In the Tall Timber

The following Is published at the
request Of interested parties as a reply
10 How Charles Met His Waterloo
published in ours of March 2Sth.
WHY CHARLES DIDN'T GO TO
HELENA
| recently read in this paper It's true
OF a lad Ernest claimed had met
Waterloo
But his yarn was all bosh
can prove it-be-gosh
For the gal-like Blucher-prevented
the loss.
Now the facts bout the kissing
Ernest worries about
Took place without kissing"
OF that there's no doubt
And there wasn't any crowd"
To cheer the lad on
Yet the smack" was quite loud
And didn't stop with just one.
For some one had to kiss her
And as Charles knows not defeat
He didn't wait for teacher"
But did the stunt up neat.
Now all this chew" and wrangle
Bout how Charles ran all round
Is caused by Ernest's tangle
With a school ma-am out of town.
And then to show his weakness
For he couldn't stand the strain
so Ernest with all his "meekness"
Left on Friday aft-noon's train.
He's so sure bout OSCILLATION
That ii ought not to be done
Yet he kissed her at the station
Down in Bangor yum" yum yum.
So / say Ernest is a traitor
To the cause" he "speals" about
He's no credit to his Alma Mater
But It's sport to hear him shout.
SO | gather In his chatter
And he loves to make a noise i.
What he says doesn't really matter,
He simply talks to amuse the boys
But he thinks he's put one over
About a gal so full OF bliss
He's glad to beat it"-got under cover
For twas Charles that got the kiss.
It's Ernest that's met his Waterloo
And not the lad who shuns all fame
So I'll pull off another joke or two
On the teacher up in the "wilds oil
Maine.
