BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their loyalty in Aiding
Government to Finance
the War.

The splendid spirit of patriotism
manifested by the bankers throughout
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
is being more than maintained in the
preliminary campaign for the Fourth
Loan that began June %, when the
first series of %5O,OOO,00O of United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt
edness was offered to the banks.
No more patriotic and intelligent
body of men than the men comprising
the banking element exists anywhere.
They make deep study of finance
They watched the mistakes made by
Germany and our Allies in financing
the war, and they do not hesitate to
place the stamp of approval on the
methods adopted by the United States
Government to avoid repetition of the
mistakes.
This plan of Certificates of Indebt-
edness spreads out the demand that
will be made this fall on the country
at large for the Fourth Loan, and the
money that is realized from raw mate
rails and labor will go through the
channels of commerce and return to
the country for reinvestment this fall
The certificates form the basis for
a system of credits which will relieve
the country Of a great strain it would
experience il the certificate plan had
not been adopted.

PRELIMINARY CAMPAIGN
Eighth District Bankers Absorb First
Offering of Certific Gates of
Indebtedness.

Bankers throughout the Eighth Fed
eral Reserve District are entering
heartily in the Governments plan to
dispose OF the s750000,0O0 United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt-
edness.
The quota for the St. Louis District
is S30,000,000, issued June %. Similar
offerings of the certificates, not to ex-
coed eight issues, will be made every
two weeks until the Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign. Then these short
term certificates, maturing October
"a. may be turned in for the long-term
Liberty Bonds.
BY the banks taking the certificates
at each offering. the money goes into
the hands OF the Government, il is
expended for raw materials and for
labor, is thrown back into the chan
nels OF commerce and may be used
over and over, and the people not
made TO feel the drain that would be
felt il the entire amount were raised
at one time.
The Certificates of Indebtedness
plan WI relieve the Liberty Loan
Campaign to a large extent and make
its success all the easier.

COMMON SENSE

Says it is suicide TO cut corns,
and tells how they lift

lou simply say to the drug store
man, Give me quarter of an ounce of
freezone." This will cost very little but
Ia sufficient to remove every hard OF soft
corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, can be lifted out with
the fingers without pain.
Ihis new way to rid ones feet of corns
was introduced by Cincinnati man. who
says that while freezone Is sticky il dries
in moment, and seems to simply shrivel
up the corn without infiaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
