YOUNG AMERICA AND THE LIB
ERTY LOAN.

President Wilson has mustered into
the army of workers for the Third
Liberty Loan the Boy Scouts of
America and the Girl Scouts.
The work of the Boy Scouts in the
two previous Liberty Loan campaigns
was an inspiring feature. In the
second campaign they obtained $780,
600 subscriptions for over 100000
900 worth of bonds.
The work of the Boy Scouts and
the Girl Scouts in this great national
effort will be not only great practical
service to the country, but of gear
educational value to the boys and
girls in preparing them for patriotic
useful citizenship. The patriotism Of
the young people of America is a
guarantee of the future; it means
good citizens and good Americans In
the making. They are the citizens
of tomorrow and they are doing
much to make the world safe for de-
mocracy.
The Boy Scouts have not only
shown their patriotism, they have
demonstrated their efficiency and
their value to the country. With the
Girl Scouts also enlisted in the work
they must look to their 1aurels.

Under the above caption, Editor
Hiram Duley, says in the last issue
of his paper, the Flemingsburg
Times-Democrat, regarding the cleo
trio service in Paris and Flemings-
burg:
1.-The Paris Gas & Electric Co. hav-
ing announced that they would ad-
vance the price of service to private
consumers of Paris, the city authori-
ties informed them that they will not
be permitted to do SO without the
consent of the city. And it seems to
us that the rates charged for electric
service here are pretty high when we
take into consideration the limited
service we now get. In fact, good
many people are talking of cutting
out the service and going back to the
old lamp system. TheSeditor is a
stakeholder in a small way in this
corporation, but fairness to all i'm
pels us to call attention to these
things, so that they may be looked

A COMPARISON or INTEREST.

A great deal of speculation and dis.
cussion have arisen in connection
with the comparative interest returns
of the War Savings Stamps and the
bonds of the Third Liberty Loan
Now that the Treasury Department
has announced that the interest rate
on the new bonds is 4A9o a compari
son can be made.
A War Savings Stamp bought Jan
uary 1, 1918, if held until maturity
January 1, 1923, pays total interest
of eighty eight cents, or seventeen and
CLIO cents per annum. This is equiva
lent to a rate of 4.274o per annum
The interest rate increases each month
this year until in December the re-
turn develops as follows: That month
the stamp costs $4.23 and has four
years until maturity. The total inter,
est received, II held until maturity, ia
seventy-seven cents. For one year il
amounts to nineteen and onequarteI
cents, which is at the rate of 4.55%
per annum.
