Mr. Harry j. Hopkins, chairman of
the Mems Liberty Loan Committee,
briefly pointed out wherein the loan
differed from former loans-in that
it carried 4A per cent. interest, and
cannot be exchanged for those of fu-
ture loans Although the sinking
fund set aside by the govcrnment,will
it is hoped, maintain the market value
of the bonds at par.
In the last loan campaign, Anne
Arundel county exceeded its quota al
though it was not credited with $105,-
600 in bonds sold to the midshipmen.
This time the county will be worked
as a unit.
AS an encouragement to the work
ers, and as a spur to many who might
be hesitating lest they could not af-
| ford to buy a bond, Mr. Hopkins told
! of one small boy who had bought a
! $10O bond of the last issue out of the
money he had made doing chores.

until we put the Kaiser out of bust
ness. America has never yet under
| taken anything she hasn't carried
| through"
! Mr. Baer, of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee, followed with an explanation
! of the business end of selling the
bonds. As an indication of how Amer
! lea is learning thrift and economy she
pointed out that although at the be-
/ ginning of the war there were only
100000 people in the country who
! owned bonds, the government was
planning for fifty million bond buyers
! for the loan.
! Only two classes, he said, were eX-
empt from buying alien enemies and
! those who were actually too poor to
save $50 by thrift inside the next u
months-for under various selling
plans, arrangements may be made to
! extend payments on S-weeks.
