HOW WAR BONDS
Cd Up IN VALUE
History of ALI Loans for Gen.
fury Shows That Advance
Has Always Come with
Peace.

Will history repeat itself? That
question is in the minds OF many bond
buyers these days. Records show thai
the prices of bonds were way down
during war times of the past but soon
after peace was declared advanced
rapidly.
During Napoleonic wars prices OF
English 3 per cent. consols ranged
from 67h, the high and SAY. the low
in 1914 to 96H the high and SAX the
low, in 1924. During the same period
French 5 per cent rentes rose from
80, the high. in 1914 to 1913 in 1924
They also went as low as As In 1914
French per cent. rentes during the
Franco Prussian war ranged in price
from 75.1 to S7.3 and sos to S1.1.
United States bonds during the Con
federate war sold for 95z, the high
and SO, the low, in 1851. but from then
ON they had practically steady rise
until 1873. at which time the high was
1874 and the low 111h. The ten
forty-year bonds, put out in 1854 ad
vanced from 1854 to 1l6h in ten
years.
-Four series OF Liberty Bonds have
been issued and the ffth-to be
known as the Victory Liberty Loan
will soon be offered. These securities
have behind them the mightiest pro-
lection ever devised-the resources
and the pledge and the faith Of one
OF the great nations Of the world.
The investment value OF the bonds
can never decrease. for the interest
win always be paid and the bonds
will be redeemed at full face value

PAINT AND ILLITERAcY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo-
calities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington. D. ca curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu,
cational Bureau and the bureau of In
dustrial Research here. 1t is that in
the states where ilIiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. TIL.
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety, of course, for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
nner pigments or facial adornments.
1t Is true, though. that In the sections
of all states where white iIliteracy IL
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illiterates do not use paint ON then
buildings because they do not under
stand Its value as preseryatiye.

Do You sleep Well?

To be at his best a man must
have sound, refreshing sleep. When
wakeful and restless at night he is
in no condition for work or business
during the day. Wakefulness is
often caused by indigestion and
constipation, and is quickly relieved
by Chamberlain Tablets. Try a
dose of these tablets and see how
much better you feel with a clear
head and good digestion.

FARMERS ASKED
70 TAKE BONDS
Special Appeal on Behalf Of
Liberty Loan Issue is Sent
Out by Washington Repre-
sentative of National Grange.

Every farmer in America is e1-
pected to support the Victory Liberty
Loan, says Thomas G. Atkeson, the
Washington representative of the Ma.
tional Grange Patrons of Husbandry.
who has sent the following letter to
the officers of every farm grange in
the United States:
Victory Liberty is the slogan for
the new loan. The drive is to begin
April 81, for the sale of six billion
dollars in Victory Liberty Bonds.
These two words visualize all that is
best in American spirit. American
farmers must respond to this appeal.
What the farmers of America did
in sacrifice and in accomplishment, in
food production and in bond buying
during the war is part of the record
It is a war record of which any class
may be proud. 1t must be made good
now by meeting the obligations which
result from the outpouring of Ameri.
can strength which conquered the
enemies Of Liberty and civilization
Time to Get Ready.
! at is time to get into this Victory
liberty Bond campaign No appeal OF
the war has gone unanswered to the
full limit when brought to the atten-
ton of the farmers. Men, money,
wheat, other food-no matter what
the obstacles or the difficulties-the
answer has been full and certain. The
answer must be the same in this com.
ing drive.
millions Of soldiers must be brought
home; thousands of sick must be cared
for; thousands Of wounded and mutt.
lated must be made ready for future
usefulness. We armed nation and
modified its resources into war ma.
chine Of such tremendous potential
power that our enemies surrendered
rather than face it, and thereby
months or years of lighting and thous.
ands of lives, were saved Now we
must pay the obligations created by
this effort Who can neglect to pay
his just part for that which prevented
SO great sacrifice OF life and blood.
World Wants Products.
There lies just outside the doors OF
the American farmer hungry world, a
world which needs all our products
American farming rests on the safe
basis of need and service. The invest.
ment of the hard earned dollars OF
American farmers in Victory Liberty
Bonds is a safe investment with q
certainty Of fair return, and the
money will come hack into circulation
making more business, increasing the
market and the demand for farm pro.
duets. and increasing prosperity. Buy.
ing Victory Liberty Bonds will
make farmers Victory-Liberty-Pro Prosper.
ity-men Do your part to put the Vic
tory Liberty Loan over the top.
make your Investment in Victory
Liberty Bonds the measure OF your
confidence in American institutions
and that democracy for which your
sons offered the supreme sacrifice; a
symbol of your determination that the
war shall not have been fought in
vain; an offering Of thanksgiving for
peace"

Quick! Some one! Stop the clock!
Well, some one did.
That day of our first Peace Cele-

stop the clock. Took out the pendu-

That was the end of it. The war

We still have job to finish We
still have war-bills to pay. And Amer
leans always pay their bills.
We still have an army at the bridge
heads Of the Rhine, and we've got to
keep it there for a while+if we're go
ing to get real peace in place of an
armistice.
And then there are the soldiers to
bring back and the wounded to care
for and the crippled to make over and
jobs to fnd-before our job is finish
