BUYING BONDS
is NOW A HABIT

To buy Liberty Bond has become
habit with the people of the United
States, growing habit and no one is
complaining. This is proven by the
figures.
On May 2, 1917, the First Liberty
Loan was announced and the cam
paign began one month later. Two
billion dollars in 3h%o bonds were Of
fered and brought four and one half
million subscribers. The subscrip-
three billion dollars, of which only
two billion were allotted. The out
standing feature of this first loan was
the promptness with which it was ar
ranged and conducted. Taking only
two weeks to be formed and selling to
four and one half million people
where only 100000 people were habit
ual purchasers of bonds, presents al
most a miracle in finance.
To the Second Liberty Loan, offered
for sale Oct. 1, 1917 and closed Oct. 27,
1917, there were nine million subscrib-
ers and the amount subscribed was
$4,617 $4,000. Only $3,808,766,1 $50
was allotted. The outstanding feature
Of this campaign was the important
part which labor, fraternal organiza-
tons and the women Of the country
had in it.
The Third Liberty Loan campaign
was inaugurated on April 6, 1918 the
anniversary of the entrance Of this
country into the war. Three billion
dollars were offered. About seventeen
million people subscribed $4,170109,-
$50, all Of which was allotted. This
campaign was made notable by it's
wide distribution among the people
and the large response made to 1t by
the rural districts.
The newest loan, the Fighting
Fourth, is to be placed on sale Sept.
%. The sale will close Oct. 10, Pc
riod of but three weeks. Within that
time 1t will be necessary to sell very
much larger volume Of bonds than was
sold in any Of the three preceding
campaigns. The amount of bonds to
be offered has not been officially an
nounced but because of smaller de-
mands being made upon us to finance
our Allies not more than five billions
may be offered.
However, it is certain that the
amount offered for sale will mark the
Fourth Loan as one of the greatest
pieces of governmental financing that
the world has ever known. If only
five billion dollars of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan are offered for sale and are
disposed of within three weeks 1t will
be the largest offering ever made by
any government and subscribed to in
so short a time.
The new loan is "The Fighting
Fourth, a title that has been adopted
for it by the Publicity Committee of
the New England District. Our army
in France has begun to take its stride
and additions to the army from now
on will show in a growing degree the
fighting spirit manifested up to the
present time. The people of the United
States, the stay-at-homes, in subscrib
ing to the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan are simply keeping step to the
same tune which is animating our sol
diers and sailors and airmen.

HELP THE GOVERNMENT

Purchasers of Liberty Bonds who
wish to help the Government to the
fullest extent should keep the bonds
which they have purchased, and when
they buy additional bonds do SO from
the Government during loan offerings
rather than in the open market, as the
money paid for bonds purchased In the
market does not go to the Government
but simply to previous holders. On
the other hand, those who must real.
ize upon their investment can always
do so at the market price.

JUSTICE PITNEY'S
SON IS WOUNDED

Capt. Shelton Pitney. son Of Justice
Mahlon Pitney. Of the United States
Supreme Court. who lives at 5ols Mas
sachnsetts avenue northwest, was
wounded severely in action on Novem-
Der z. according to a telegram received
by Justice Pitney from the War De-
partment This is the second time that
CAPTAIN Pitney has been wounded. The
last time was at the battle Of the
Meuse- His wounds were only slight
on this occasion
Justice Pitney today is holding out
hope that this second report is err
roneous. His hope is based on the
fact that he received a letter from his
son on November stating that he was
in a French hospital. Justice Pitney
does not believe that his son was
sent to the front again before the
signing OF the armistice.
The adjutant general told the Jus
tice today that it was unlikely that
the report was erroneous. The JUS
tice is in hopes that the report OF the
first wound was probably duplicated.
Captain Pitney is a graduate Of
Princeton College. He left this coun-
try for France in May of this year.
He is attached to the 313th field artil-
lery.
