FINE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

With Liberty bond issues selling from par to six
per cent below par, opportunity is offered in
dividuals who have money invest to clear a neat
margin of profit in addition interest on these
securities.
The decline in the market value of Liberty Bonds
after they placed the exchanges was a
natural consequence. Billions of dollars worth of
these securities had been absorbed bv the public
afterwards were willing to accept a loss on their
investment feeling that they had contributed this
much to victory. The supply became greater than
the demand and economic law forced the market
downward
But Liberty Bonds just safe today as they
were the day issued. The rate is the same
and will be paid regularly by the government Some
issues already are selling at par the open mar
ket. Financers say they will be selling at a
madium in a few years
To make profit buy when the market is low
is the advice often given investors would apply
here, it seems. Treasury officials have announced
that the country will be able finandO with
out additional general offering of bonds to the
public. The financial situation promises an early
and fairly rapid advance in price of Liberty
Bonds.
The interest yield is correspondingIy higher as
profit on the capital invested is assured as the
bonds increase in price Just because the war is
over is no reason why we should stop buying Lib
erty bonds. Get into the market. Buy at prevail
ing prices Hold to those you have. BY doing
so you'll be helping yourself along on the road to
Independence and prosperity.

PROF. COLLIER
TELLSOF WORK
SCHOOL YEAR
SUGGESTS PARENTS TAKE IN
TEREST IN THE WORK OF THEIR
CHILDREN AND AID THEM IN
HOME STUDY.
By j. r.. COLLIER.

Another session of the Pensacola
high school VIII begin Monday, and
1t is the most important that all stu
dents enter at first In order that the
school may function as fully as pos
sible.
Many children are handicapped in
their school work by not getting an
even start with their classmates. When
We seriously consider the fact that the
education of the children is the most
important work of the community,
we realize that the beginning of the
new session is a time Of most care
full thinking as to the best interest of
the children. A child's success In
school depends largely on the start
he makes the first few weeks. There
fore parents, teachers and students
should make a real effort to cause the
first part of the season to be as sue
cessful as possible.
In order to do this we'll all ust re-
alize the ecessity of making the school
strictly a business institution where
children are caused to form as correct
business habits as those trained in a
dren are ruined by forming careless
habits of thinking and acting in the
home and schools.
L submit that the school is the most
important business establishment in
the community. and should be so re-
garded 1t is claimed and is perhaps
true that the schools do not do what
they should for the children of the
1sEe
true? Is it because the citizens put
too low an estimate on the importance
of making the school a real character
building instotution? Do many people
give too little thought and attention
to the institution in which the char
| acter of their children is being
formed? As our school are properly
organized business institutions which
turn out a properly trained product
If not, why? Perhaps public sentiment
has something to do with the matter
1t may be people believe in the school
as sort of second-class product, a
sort of meeting place for the amuse-
ment of the children, an esta blisnment

The temporary measures were undertaken owing
to the stand the Nashville & Louisville Automo-

This cost will not be very heavy and when
it is figured conservative basis that $4,000

amount of money that Is involved. Tourists

600 per month. tourist season is about three

venture the prediction of the greatest Florida
tourist this winter that has been

The very fact that we stand to Jose $1,000
tourists on account of this road needing repairs,
and since that number of tourists would spend
on an average of 81 per day making a total of
100000 per day, and s6.o0o.o0o per month
