PATRIOTISM AND PER CENT
Interest Rate on Fourth Liberty Loan
Fixed at 4H Per Cent.

Secretary McAdoo has definitely
announced that the Fourth Liberty
Loan bonds will bear 4A per cent
interest.
The Secretary has been insistent
that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at Az per cent.
He points out that raise in the rate
of interest Of only one-fourth of per
cent on SIC, ,Oo0, 100000 of Government
bonds would mean an annual increase
of $25 900 900 In interest charges, and
that this money void have to be
raised by increased taxation and paid
by the people of the country. Il.
would not be paid by one class only,
because there are consumption as
we'll as other kinds of taxes, and the
consumption taxes reach every class
OF people.
"As an intelligent people" said SEQ
retary McAdoo during the Third Lib,
erty Loan campaign, 1--WE should now
make a stand for the financing of our
Government during the period of this
war at stabilized rate of interest,
say at AZ per cent per annum, SO
that all business and all investments
may We adjusted to that basis, and
so that we ourselves may protect our
selves against successfully increased
rates of interest on Government
foans."

MANY FACES MISSING

Have you noticed that the old
town isn't altogether what 1t used to
bef That somehow there Is differ
ence when you go down the street?
That the old places are more sub
dued and quiet; less busy and noisy ?
That go where you will, the club, the
Bowling ally, the billiard parlor, any.
where, there Is the same subtle sense
OF changel
The old voices no longer hail you
with such eager challenge, such roy
nj welcome, such whole souled good
Fellowship; the old smiles no longer
greet you so warmly and the old
hand olaps on the shoulder no longer
bring you the same old sense of com.
radeship ap9 friendly interest. Some
thing seems to have slipped silently
out Of life.
For scores Of the old faces are
missing: faces that you knew and
toved the best.
They are "over there" in the khaki
clad ranks that are slowly pushing
fhe gray Hun line backward toward
the Rhine. They are taking up the
burden Of civilization, Of democracy
and freedom; the liberation Of half
world threatened with ens!ayement;
the perpetgatioD of or own national
liberty and safety. The overthrow
OF kaiserdom: --v,'" .'-.''.'

missing faces; the faces of our
friends, our brothers. and sweet
hearts, our husbands and fathers. All
of us will hope to welcome them
home again, triumphant from the fir

Nor must any of us forget them !
