BOND BUYERS ONE OUT OF SIX
This Was Record for Entire PopuIa.
ton in Third Liberty Loan.

One out of every six persons in
the United States bought Liberty
bonds of the third loan last April and
May. The exact number Of subscrib-
ers was 1S,sOS,S25, or III per cent of
the estimated population.
New York State led in the volume
Of subscription. Delaware subscribed
the highest percentage of the assign
ed quota, and the City of Washington
furnished the largest proportion Of
its population as bond buyers.
This was disclosed in a Treasury
report of the third loan subscription
by Federal Reserve Districts, States
and principal cities. The loan total
s4,176.516,S50, represents an aggregate
oversubscription of 1873 per cent Of
the $4,000, 0OOO.OO goal.
In volume of subscription the FIVE
leading States were New York, with
s9s5.OOO,OOO. or neatly one-fourth OF

Liberty Medals

In the ranks when soldier per-
forms some heroic act he is awarded
medal. In the civilian army when
some person buys Liberty Bonds,
Joins the Red Cross or the Y. M. c.
A., he or she is given a badge.
1t is an honor for person to wear
one of these badges, just as it is
for the soldier to wear his The aver
age American citizen can and should
wear three Of these badges-the Lib
erty Loan, the Red Cross and the Y.
NJ C. A.
They show that the wearer is far
sighted enough to see that if we are
to do our part in helping to relieve
the Hun-infested lands of Europe, and
make the menace of the spiked helmet
a thing of the past. we must have
soldiers, and that soldiers alone can
not accomplish this.
Uncle Sam needs the money OBJ
tanned through the purchase Of Lib
erty Bonds to make ammunition, feed,
clothe and to furnish other essential
things needed in the maintaining OF
an army.
We must have the Red Cross to
look after the families of the soldiers,
furnish bandages, nurses and other
things to make army life comfortable.
The Y M. G. A. to keep up the
morale of the men, the "Y" huts,
where the men are furnished hot
drinks, cigarettes, writing materials
and literature.
After the war is over and our boys
have returned home to us, bringing
with them medals showing that they
performed some commendable deed,
will YOU have your three, to show
the boys that you are backing them
all the while?-Siloam Springs (Ark.)

SMALL BONDHOLDER
MISSES POINT AS TO
VIRTUAL TAX ESCAPE
Investor Should Realize All issues He
Owns Are, Practically Free
From Taxation.

Financiers studying the market con-
ditions with regard in particular to
Liberty Bond figures find that a great
many of the bond transactions are mi
tiated by PERSONS who do not under
stand the statutes which safeguard the
various issues of bonds
For instance, small holders have
been selling their and Az per cent
bonds in order to buy the 31k per cent
bonds of the first loan, because the
Shs are completely exempt from tax.
AS a matter of fact, for, the small in
weston the As and AVS carry the same
freedom from taxation, practically. No
tax now in existence or later to be
levied can affect the As and Ans I'M
less the holder owns $1,000 worth or
more.
Wall Street Opinion.
Hence, the great majority of the
small investors pay no tax on the
bonds of the Second or Third issues.
The Wall Street Journal recently said:
More to be deplored is the general
lack of appreciation of the ultimate
value of the Liberty Bond, no matter
of what description. All the econom-
les Of war and finance point to govern
ment bonds as the most far-sighted
and soundest investment person can
make during these times. Investing
in government bonds now is buying
with cheap money a call on dear
money in the future"

Do VAST BORROWINGS
OF j. 5. TO WIN WAR
CAUSE YOU WORRY?
Think of the Many Opportunities for
Investment Which the War
Loans Offer.

The vast borrowings of the govern
ment made necessary by the war have
startled a good many patriotic but
short-thinking people Involuntarily
perhaps, they feel that an exacting de-
mand is being made on everybody and
they grow uneasy and restless.
Private and public expenditures are
being curbed right and left so that the
government may have more and more
money.
But the money is staying right here
in this country. And the great gov
eminent war issues afford excellent
investment opportunities to the BUSH
ness man. He can loan his capital to
the government at Az per cent inter-
est, rate which after the war will
make a security of such safety gilt
edged, and he can get his capital back
at time when its purchasing power
will be greatly increased.
Financiers Study Situation.
mo doubt these factors win le ap-
preciated in time and the bonds will
ultimately find their proper market
levels" says the Wall Street Journal
That financial journal goes on to say.
that the under-par prices quoted dur
ing the summer on some Of the issues
reflect only temporary condition. 1t
says further that every effort is being
made and will be made by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to see that all
legislation which has to do with money
will work out to the benefit OF the
bondholder.
Financiers who have studied the
loan sales, which have been compare
lively few, report that large number
of the transactions are started by mis-
informed holders of small amounts of
bonds who do not understand the tax
statutes.
"A great many small investors in
the and Az per cent bonds" says the
Wall Street Journal, do not seem to
realize that their securities for the
most part possess the same merits as
the tax free 5h per cent bonds of the
First issue. The As and ANS are fully
as free from the normal income tax as
the ais and no surtax or excess prof
its tax now effective or later to be
enacted will be collectible on As and
AIS unless the owner has more than
IS, 900 worth"
