HOW To SECURE
LIBERTY BOND

You may be one of many peo.
pie, anxious to do your share
towards helping Uncle Sam
beat the Hun, but are in doubt
just how to proceed, and the de-
tails concerning Liberty Bonds
may be a little vague to you.
For the benefit of all, few
facts may clear things up.
The Bonds, guaranteed by
the United States Government,
and consequently the safest in-
vestment in the world, are OF
the following values $50. 90,
$4,000, $4,000, 100000, $5,-
600 and 100000.
The interest at the rate OF
4A%o per annum is payable on
September Is, 1918, on March
Is, 1919, and thereafter on
each September 18th and March
18th.
The Bonds are redeemable
in gold on September Is, 1928.
Sign the application form
which you can obtain from any
banker or Liberty Loan sales
man.
You can pay for your bend in
full at the time of your appl-
cation.
If you would rather pay by
installments you can pay the
banker or salesman $50 Of the
amount Of the Bond you intend
to purchase, that is $500 on
every $4,000, and pay the bal
ance as folloWs:-
2o% on May 28, 1918.
$3.50 on July Is, 1918.
4O% on August 15, 1918.
The Bonds bear interest from
May 9th, 1918, SO if you buy
on the installment plan you
will be asked to add to your
August payment the small
amount of interest you are not
entitled to, owing to the fact
that the Government has not
had the use of the full amount
of your subscription until you
made the final payment. The
amount involved is so small
that it is not worth consider
ing.
The money you pay for the
Bonds and the interest you re-
ceive ON them is free from tax
alton, except Inheritance Tax,
and the surtaxes on large in
comes. A man must be very
wealthy before his interest of
4A% is reduced by even one
haH of one per cent, so to the
average citizen the Bonds are
tax free.

behind American Lines in France,
Oct rs. = Heads of dummy soldiers
made of papier mache and mounted on
jong poles peer with staring eyes over
the tops of imitation parapets In the
American camouhage station here. They
are decoy for the German sniper TO
shoot at and thus disclose his hiding
place.
Long lines Of these dummy figures
lean against the walls of the "toy
shop" as the soldiers call It, a huge
building where companies and regiments
Of imitation soldiers are manufactured.
Soldier heads. some bareheaded and
others wearing helmets. are first
modelled by sculptors working In soft
white clay. This is repeated in papier
mache.
A big oven bakes the papier-mache
heads to the required hardness. Then
they pass to the artists. who put 6n
the natural tint of flesh, uniform and
helmet. Finally they are mounted On
stout poles and are ready to be held
up as decoys along the trenches to draw
the fire of the enemy. Very often an
enemy snper will disclose his where
abotits by taking a shot at one Of these
papier-mache soldiers peering over the
trench front.
Turning from the plaster decoys the
correspondents were suddenly confront
ed by whole regiment of soldiers
armed and in full field equipment. and
'thrown out In open order as the men
go forward In the early morning raids.
But instead of being real soldiers this
was a regiment Of 'silhouettes." Each
ngure was life-sNe, painted on thin
board and cut out much as children
cut out paper dolls. Some were kneel-

the shoulder and others stood at rest
They were fine-looking 'men," every
one of them, and the work of the best
artists.

Near the slhouettes artists were turn.

boxes was inside a pile of old tin cans.

had apparently fallen on the battlefield
But the cans and the helmet were not
real; all camoufiage.
A very effective camouhage. used
along the top of trenches. is a simple
box of rough, irregular shape. painted
to resemble earth and covered with
gravel and twigs. This is set upon the
edge of the trench and looks just like
the rest of the earth but inside there is
room for the head and shoulder of a
soldier, who can look about ae though
