COUPONS FROM
Liberty BONDS

The United States government is
going to hand over $3,858, 260.50 to
residents of the Ninth Federal Re-
serve district on September Is. That
is the sum represented by the semi
annual interest coupons on Liberty
Bonds of the third issue held by the
residents of Minnesota, North Da-
kota, Montana and the Michigan and
Wisconsin counties in the district.
The total sales of Third Liberty
Loan Bonds in the Ninth district,
amounted to 1885, 200 of which,
bankers declared yesterday, an over
whelming proportion is still in the
hands of the original buyers. The
annual interest return at four and a
quarter per cent amounts to $7,716,-
So of which the sum to be paid out
September 18th is one-half.
That interest recipients should re-
invest their Third Liberty Loan inter
est in War Savings Stamps so that it
may be safe and at the same time may
increase at the rate of four per cent
compound quarterly is the advice sent
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-09-12


out by the Treasury Department
through M. E. Harrison, director of
the Ninth District War Savings Orga-
nization. With War Savings Stamps
selling at $4.20 in August the semi
annual interest on two 500 bonds
will be more than enough to buy a
War Saving Stamp. !,
"Reinvestment of interest in War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Saving
Certificates will be of SURPRISING help
to the government for it will return
to them in the form Of new loans the
huge interest sum that must be paid
out on the Third Liberty Loan Mr..
Harrison said. "The nation must pay
out, in all Federal Reserve Districts,
total of $S8,750, 983.O6 interest on
the Third Loan, September. l 5h. The
War Savings Stamp investment will
be tremendous aid, the more so in
view of the fact that there are five
great national loans outstanding on
which interest is paid twice a year.
In ten months of the twelve must the
government meet public debt dis
bursements approaching $1,000,000,-
OOO."
The district director added that
War Savings Stamps are now avail
able in every city, town and hamlet
in the Ninth Federal District. Those
owning bonds to yield considerable
sum in half yearly interest will find
Treasury Saving Certificates at post
Offices. These securities increase in
value monthly and can not by any
possibility lose in value. September
cost of the 500 certificates will be
$84 and the $1,000 denominations,
$40.
