TO
DISTRIBUTE FUNDS.

The United States Government is
going to pay 92,295,O5O8l to resi-
dents OF the Sixth Federal District on
September 18TH. That is the sum re-
presented by the semi-annual interest
coupon on Liberty Bonds OF the thlld
issue held by residents OF Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, louisiana, Mlssls-
sippi and Tennessee.
Total sales of Third Liberty Loan
Bonds IN the Sixth District amounted
to 128,649,450 Of which, bankers de-
clared yesterday, an overwhelming
proportion is still in the hands OF the
original buyers. The annual interest
return at tour and quarter per
cent. amounts to $4,000, 101.62, OF
which the sum to be paid out on
September 10th is one half, $780,
05O.81.
That interest receipts should re-
invest their Third Liberty Loan in
terest in War Savings Stamps so
that it may be safe and at the same
time may increase the rate OF four
per cent. compounded quarterly is the
advice sent out by the Trasury De-
partment through Silas w. Davis, Dl-
rector fthe Sixth District War Say
ings Organization. With War Say
ings Stamps selling at $4.2O IN Sep
TENDER, the semi-annual interest on
two $500 bonds will be more than
enough to buy a War Savings Stamp.
REIMBURSEMENT of interest in war
Savings Stamps and Treasury Saw
ings Certificates will be Of surprising
help to the Government for it will re-
turn to them in the form of new
loans the huge interest sums that
must be paid out on the Third Liberty
Loan" said Mr.. Davis. "The nation
must pay out, in all Federal Reserve
Districts, a total of $88, 750, 983.06 in
teress on the Third Loan, September
lCCu. l. y nave ICCdIliSA eiilOuSAi
War Savings Stamps investment will
be tremendous aid, TIE more so
in view fthe fact that there are five
great national loans outstanding on
which interest is paid twice year.
In ten months of the twelve must
the Government meet public debt dis
bursements approaching $1OO,OOO,OOO.
The District Director added that
War Savings Stamps are now avail
able in every city, town, and hamlet
in the Sixth Federal District. Those
owning enough bonds to yield con-
siderable sum in half yearly interest
will find Treasury Savings Ce.tifi-
Gates of the $500 and $1,000 denom-
nations at banks and trust companies
