/. NEW BOND ISSUE SOON.
Organization Of Last Drive May Be
Kept; Bonds to Bear w Per Cent,

The fifth issue Of liberty bonds and
undoubtedly the last popular issue, will
be offered in the spring to raise money
for the payment Of Dllls incurred DUR
ing the war. The campaign, accord
ing to those who have had charge Of
other liberty loan campaigns, will be
launched the latter part of April or the
early part of May. It's amount will
probably be between 35,O0O, 100000 and
IS, oo0, ooO, 900.
Bonds will mature in five years and
bear AZ per cent interest, the highest
rate Of any yet issued, as nearly as
those in close touch with the situation
feel at liberty 20 say. The orsaniza-
ton Of the last liberty loan campaign
vii! remain practically intact for the
next one. 1t seems the concensus OF
opinion in Des Moines that Frank
Kaufman will again be appointed Polk
county chairman.
Mr.. Kaufman said It was too early
to decide just what methods of cam
paign would be worked out finally, but
that plans had already been begun to
make the fifth loan as successful in
Iowa, Polk county and Des Moines as
its predecessors.
THE same people will be asked to
bpy as were in previous issues" Mr..
Kaufman said last night. And they
will be asked to subscribe practically
the same amounts"
The Victory Reveille. paper issued
in the interest OF government loan
workers of the Chicago federal district
says that st is impossible to say
whether conditions will warrant large
popular bond issues after the fifth lib
erty loan is fioated. Those who neg
lect the opportunity to buy when the
government wants to sell may find out
in year or two that they have made
a serious mistake.
Usually government bond issues are
snapped up ouicSly by bankers and
capitalists, giving folks OF small! means

the statement continued. caused our

to increase by leaps and bounds and

After discussing factors other than
American conditions which have in

particularly overseas transport he
noted that feed prices paid to the
English farmer were about 20 per cent
higher than the prices realized by, the
American farmer for oats and barley.
