VICTORY LOAN TERMS
 ASSURE ITS SUCCESS
4s4 Per Cent. Notes to Appeal to Small Investor-May Be
 Bought in InstaIIments.

The terms of the Victory Liberty Loan, announced by the Secretary of the Treasury, are such as to assure the overwhelming success of the issue. The Notes, which bear A per cent. interest, will appeal to investors of moderate means, and the securities with 8 sz per cent interest will be taken eagerly by those of greater wealth.
 As in the Fourth Liberty Loan cam paign, the new securities are is- sued in coupon and registered form in denominations of $50, S1OO, $500, ST. 900, S5,o00 and $1O,Ooo for coupon Notes and $50, $1OO, $500, $1 900, $5,- GOO, $10,000, $5o,O0o and $1OO,O0O for registered Notes.
 The Victory Notes may be paid for in full or may be purchased on partial payment plans. The Government plan of payment calls for 10 per cent. with the application, 10 per cent on July 15, 20 per cent. on August 12, 20 per cent. on September 0, 20 per cent on Octo- Der and 20 per cent. on November II.
 The Victory Note bearing 4A per cent. interest Is a most profitable and safe investmen: for the man or wo- man of small" income, for it is exempt from normal Federal income taxes, and the provisions of the revenue law re- person of moderate means. The hold CT may draw this interest-the high est the Government has paid in half century-without rebate. The 4% per cent Note, of course, is subject to es- tate and inheritance taxes. The 3A per cent. Note is exempt from all taxes except the estate and inheritance taxes. In th-s respect it is like the Bond of the First Liberty Loan, but the interest Is one-fourth per cent. higher than for the first issue.
 It is likely the 4% per cent. Note will appeal strongly to the great ma jority of people and that a large pro- portion of the $1, 1,35O,OOO quota for this district will be made up of sub scriptfons for this class. The more "A per cent Notes taken by the peo- pie of this district in small amounts the fewer 3M per cent. Notes will be allotted in large subscriptions. This will mean that the people who wish to own 3A per cent. tax exempt Notes will have to buy "A per cent. Notes from the original subscribers and then convert them. The purchase of A per cent. Notes in the open market will in- crease their value. The terms of the Victory Liberty Loan, then, are dis, tinctly favorable to. persons of mod crate means who wish profitable in- vestment. Thus the Secretary of the Treasury, although he believes the pa, triotism of the American people is sturdy enough to underwrite the entire Victory Liberty Loan, offers an issue which will appeal strongly to the busi ness sense of the people.
