McAdoo, has arranged for the sale of
Liberty Bonds IN denominations of
from $500 to 5000, on five year pay
ment plan, just as twenty-yeaI en-
dowment policies are written. IL the
purchaser lives out the five years and
meets his obligations promptly he will
receive the bond; should he die before
expiration of the five year limit, and
has met his payments regularly, the
bond will he surrendered to his bene
ficiarIes without further payment by
them, just as life insurance payment
