LIBERTY BONDS ARE
IDEAL INVESTMENTS
FOR ESTATE FUNDS
PROMINENT BANKER POINTS OUT
THE DESlRABILITY OF HOLD +.
ING BEST SECURITIES.
SPECIAL APPEAL TO WOMEN
Holdings Backed by Government Are
More Attractive Than Ever
Before.

Edward B. Pryor, president of the
State National Bank of st. Louis and
a specialist in security values, says
he is advising but one thing to per-
sons seeking his advice relative to
investment, /. e., to purchase Liberty
Bonds.
mo investment in the world" said
Pryor, sis safer, and viewed from the
angle Of average investment returns
ii. the past, the yield is large. For
merly, when Government bonds were
paying only from 21a to 31a per cent
net, it was rather discouraging to
recommend their purchase to in
vestors. Now, however, the case is
very different. When you own Gov
eminent backed security paying Az
per cent, you've got something.
Particularly good for women in
vestors are the Liberty Bonds. They
constitute an estate more easily han
died than any other class Of property.
With the minimum of instruction any
woman can be schooled in how to
manage and handle her bonds so that
she cannot be deprived of them, re-
CARELESS of her business equipment.
Practically No Tax.
Further the tax feature is SO small
a. to be almost negligible. Up to
$4,000 there is no tax whatever From
that figure up the bonds are free from
he aol fox crrhf 70
the surtax, which, in blocks from $780,
900 to $4,000, is hardly worth men
tioning. Trainers of the laws creating
these issues had no idea of making
them productive to the Government in
general tax levies. They are to supply
war funds, and every effort was made
to make them attractive to buyers.
eff anyone comes in to me to in
quire relative to investing money, my
unchanging formula is to buy Liberty
Bonds. In doing this, it is not possible
to make a mistake or incur loss.
Other investments are doubtless good,
but who can predict what conditions
will be after the war? Women and
others whose living depends on their
incomes cannot exert too great eau
ton in these unprecedented times. To
my way of thinking, zenith of caution
is to buy American Government bonds
at is needless to say anything about
the values back Of Liberty Bonds and
their desirability as collateral. Nc
business concern or individual car
place its or his surplus in a more f1ex
ible and liquid asset. The solid com
fort and satisfaction Of such an in
vestment is, in my mind, the greatest
incentive next to patriotism in acquir
ing Liberty Bonds"

WHAT YOUR BOND WILL Do
Every Dollar Invested In Fourth Lib.
erty Bonds Brings Tangible
Results.

II you buy $500 bond of the Fourth
Liberty Loan you are lending the
United States Government enough
money to feed soldier in France a lit
tie more than seven months. Or you
have furnished enough money to give
him a complete outfit Of winter and
summer clothing, including shoes and
stockings. and slicker and overcoat
and blankets. with enough left over to
arm him with q good revolver. You
have done that much to beat back the
Hun.
It takes $35 more to arm him with q
rife with bayonet on 1t. and II you
buy second 800 bond you furnish
him this rife and 1000 cartridges for
it.; and there will still be enough ID
your money left to purchase q good
sized bomb to throw In dugout or de-
molish machine gun together with
the Huns operating It.

Our community was saddened last
Saturday night when message was
received from Camp Zachary Tay-
lor, Louisville, that Prof. E. l.. Cas-
to had died at the camp hospital at
6o'clock, from pneumonia following
an attack of influenza. His condition
had been serious several days before,
but had improved, and his death
was shock to our people. Last
June, after the closing of our High
School, of which he had been
superintendent for two years, Prof.
Casio volunteered as an Army Y.

a most valuable man in this service.
His death is unfortunate, as he had
most promising future. His body
was shipped to his home in Wildwood

had a host of friends and admirers
here, vino mourn his passing.

Good Roads Meeting

The annual meeting of the Ken
tn. ky Highway Engineers Associ-
alton, formerly the County Road
Engineers Association of Kentucky
will be held at O vensboro, Ken
lucky, on November 12th, 18th and
18th, 1913.
Previous meetings have always been
held IN February but the officers of
the association decided to change
the date of meeting for two reas-
ons:
First, on account of bad weather
conditions it has always been almost
impossible TO inspect the roads.
We feel that opportunity should be
given all the members to see roads
during the good weather so that we
all may learn more of what consti-
tutes good road. Past meetings
have not been of the greatest benefit
because inspection trips could not
be arranged.
Second, radical change has been
made In the program. Instead Of
the usual speeches indoors it plan
ned 10 have all speaking done out
doors. The speech on "Gravel
Roads" will be delivered right on
gravel road. The speech on Maca-
dam Roads" will be delivered right
on that kind of road and a history
of that particular road will be given.
All members will be driven in auto
mobiles to the various roads. The
members will be told how to build
concrete bridges and. small bridge
will be built while the speaker ex-
plains how the concrete should be
mixed and how the steel should be
placed. I he various methods Of
repairing roads Will be explaine d
while the Davies County teams and
machines actually do the work.
Davies County has all kinds of
roads from gravel to macadam rock
asphalt and BRICK within easy reach
of OwenShOro
The county owns and operates the
most complete road building outfit
IN the State. Sixty head of mules,
several 70 lers, many graders, etc.
An exhibition of all this outfit at
work will be given.
1t is planned to make the meeting
the most practical and beneficial
gathering ever held by the road
builders of Kentucky. 1t is diff cult
at any time to build good roads and
In war times the best methods must
be used or nothing of value can be
accomplished when labor and ma
terlals are so difficult to secure.
The City of Greensboro and Davi-
ess County will entertain all visitors
royalty and no pains will be spared
to make the visit pleasant as we'll as
valuable. Members of the Assocl
alton are urged to bring as many
friends of Good Roads to the meet
ing as possible.

Victr0Ia And Records Free to Some
> SehOol.

The ]. L. Roark Estate, county
distributors OF Vlctrolas and records,
has offered Victrola and twenty Sc
lections IN records to the rural
school showing the highest percent
age in attendance this school year.
There are quite number of schools
in the county using the Victrola,
and more teachers are planning to
do so. If any district buys a ma
chine, and later it develops wins the
prize, the AMOUNT paid will be le-
funded, up to the amount offered,
but schools which have heretofore
secured a machine will not be per-
mitted to compete. Getting the pu-
pll to attend school is one of the
greatest needs Of the day, and it is
thought this prize will make the
teachers even more active than they
have been along this line. No town
or village school are allowed to COM
pete, the offer being confined to ru-
raj schools; and as the award is to
be made on a percentage basis, the
smallest district in the county has an
equal chance with the larger. The
announcement was made to the
teachers at institute recently, and
was received with enthusiasm.

ST. Louis, Sept. ...-Figures com.

IL the Third Liberty Loan, subscribed
last spring, the farming communities
were the strongest supporters of the
Crive. Forecasts of the coming loan,
as prepared by farm club officials,
bankers in touch with the rural COM
munities and officers Of the various
farm leagues, indicate that the farm
ers are again going over the top.
Admitting that the corn crop has
suffered material damage in Missouri,
Southern Illinois and Kansas, the gen.
eral opinion is that the farmer has
made up his mind that he will take all
OF the Fourth Liberty Loan that he
can afford and-more.
He clearly understands that in order
to win this war the loan must be sub
SCrlbed, and he also sees just as clear
ly that the farmer must do his part in
raising that money, that the merchant
and the professional man, the day Ia
borer and the mill hand of the cities,
the factory owners and the employing
classes in general cannot take care of
the loan without the help of the mill
