. \ WORD OF WARNING
Stock Gra ters Find Iysy to. Defrmd
 People of Liberty Bonds.

Little Rock, Ark, July 26, 1918 Hoa. A. D. DuLaney, Ash5own, Ark. Chairman County Council of Defense:
 The Council of National Defense is calling upon you to assist the Treasury Department snd to protect your cti- ;ens by preventing Liberty Bonds from being offered in exchange for se- curities or merchandise, and request that you be on the watch fer and check all offers to accept government bonds in exchange. Regarding the exchange of securities for Liberty Loan Bonds, the Secretary of the Treasury has pointed 8ut. not only that this impedes the Govern ,.,ent's financi,l program but also that large percentage of theSsecurities so offered have been found to be worth, less and the mere .sct that any securi- 1 ty s-oifered in this unpatriotic way Ijustifies suspicion and an investigation Of it's character.
 Regarding the exchange of mer- chandise for Liberty Loan Bonds, Sec- retary McAdoo has said, When the Bonds are exchanged for merchandise, it detests the primary purpose of their sale, it discourages thrift and in, creases expenditures, thus depriving the government of labor and material needed for war purposes" In addition, bonds taken in exchange are usually sold immediately in the open market, thus depressing the market price.
 Government bonds should be held by their original purchasers, excep, when sale is required by real necessi- ty or misfortune.
 In order to prevent offers to take Government bonds in exchange, we recommend the following procedure:
 l. That you instruct your members and your community councils to locate and follow up all specific cases
 ?. That, if you find the abuse in your county so extensive as to warrant it, you get warning before the gener- al public;
 8. That you report all serious cases to the Director of War Loan Organiza- tion, Treasury Department, Washing ton.
 Yours very truly,
 Arkansas State Council of Defense, Lloyd England, Chairman Wallace Townsend. Director.

NEXT LIBERTY LOAN
 TOOPEN SEPTEMBER 28
Fourth Campaign Will Continue Three Weeks McAdO0 An- nOunces-Six Billions
 In Size.

Washington July 31-The cam paign for the fourth Liberty loan will open Saturday, September 28, and continue three weeks, ending October 19, it was announced tonight by Sec retary McAdoo.
 In fixing three weeks as the length of the campaign, instead of the four weeks as in previous loans, treasury officials plan for a more intensive campaign. A shorter campaign will also enahle more business men to eli list 2s workers.
 The date of the campaign was an- nounced at this time in order to al- low campaign organizations to pre- pare for the sale of bonds and to pre- vent the planning of other cam paigns which might interfere with the Notation 0. the losn.
 = Size Is se,Oc0, ,390,Oeo.
 Although official announcement has not been made, the amount of the loan probably will be $6.000 OO0,000 and the rate of interest which the bonds will bear 4a per cent. Should , the treasury decide soon to place on the market certificates of indebteS- ness redeemable next June when taxes gre paid, the amount of the loan may be reduced.
 : Secretary McAdoo has said that he does not contemplate making an ex- tensive speaking tour for the fourth loan, as he has done in previous cam paigns. President Wilson has rece:v- ea several invitations to make d, dresses during the campaign, but as yet has not indicated whether he will make any speeches for the loan.
 Officials in charge of the campaign have announced that 3 special appea will be made to farmers, who sub scribed liberally to the last loan.
