About the Bonds.
The government has asked the ninth
federal reserve district to subscribe q
minimum of $1O5, 100000. But A. R.
Rogers, district director has appor-
toned the loan by states so as to in
sure $125,00O,OOO.
The bonds will bear interest at
4h% per annum. They will be dated
and will bear interest from May 9,
1918 and will mature September Is,
1928. The interest dates will be Sept.
Is and March Is, the first coupon
bearing interest for 129 days.
The bonds are not convertible and
are not subject to call for redemption
before matured. The fact that the
government has made these ten year
bonds is taken by fhany as an indica-
tion that the officials at Washington
are not looking for the war to last
many years.
The bonds carry the same exemp-
tion from taxation as those in the
second Liberty loan. Third Liberty
loan bonds which have been owned by
a person for six months prior to the
date of his death will be accepted at
par and accrued interest in payment
OF federal inheritance taxes The CAM
paign opened throughout the nation
April 6, and closes May 4, but this is
not adhered to in the ninth district.
In this district no selling of bonds is
supposed to be permitted prior to
April Is. The actual selling campaign
opens at dawn next Monday and by
midnight Wednesday the Organization
executives expect that the ninth dis
trict will have subscribed it's full
1925 100000 allotment.
The government has provided that
the bonds may be paid for in the fol-
owing installments: $50 on applica-
ion, 2O8o on May %, $3.50 on July 18,
full may be made with the applica-
and 401e on August Is. Payment in
ion or before May 4, but bonds will
'ot be delivered before May 8, on any
for an amount exceeding
10000.
