often called attention to their stun
bOrness in refusing 10 change tnelr
ways. but since we entered this war
I have found them loyal Americans,
willing to uphold the hands Of the
president and the administration
Mr.. McNary then proposed a toast
to secretary McAdOO. declaring that
outside the president Mr.. McAdoO is
the greatest outstanding figure in
America today
Mr. McAdOO replied briefly, saying
that his one prayer is for two
thincs-that he may be able to sue
cessfuly carry out his work Of fl
nanciug the great war and hold the
confidence Of the people

Liberty bonds selling below par in
the market. it would be impossible t.
finance another loan, but I said no;
that the American people consider the
price OF liberty worth more than all
else in the world and that they would
buy the bonds whether they were at
par or not and whether they paid IN

Saving Stamp Society.
A. P Coles said he made il a busi-
ness to form War Savings Stamp
society every day and as he had not
formed a new one Wednesday, he
must form the McAdOo War Saving

On motion, C. y. Bassett was elected
president and F. NJ Murchison secre-
tary- AIr. Coles said he expected every
man present to sell $4,000 worth OF
stamps in a Eear-but he laughed
when he said it.
Don't Dump Your BOnds.1
One Of the guests asked Mr.. Nc
Adoo what he thought about banks
buying bonds If they could not af-
ford TO hold them.
For instance" said Mr.. McNary,
"some Of the banks buy more bonds
than they can afford TO hold. in order
to help out the quota Of the city.
They expect later 10 sell some Of
these bonds off"
Il think a bank should purchase
only such mum Der OF bonds as IL can
afford TO pay for and keep" said the
secretary. "Of course, there is no
objection 10 buying some for actual
sale TO customers OF the bank but
u j. mistake TO turn them onto
the New York market. After all. il is
the government that suffers when
bonds are dumped onto the market
1t also makes US suffer in the eyes Of
our enemies when bonds drop below
par. which must occur II people do
not hold the bonds they buy"
