TRY
TO OBTAIN BONDS

Rer rts are widespread that some
owners of Liberty Bonds have sold
them at prices lower than their mar
ket value. Investigations show that
shrewd spectators are active in try
ing to induce people to part with their
government securities. Many of them
are Offering to take Liberty bonds in
exchange for other so-called ''securi-
ty" which promises a higher rate of
interest than Liberty Bonds.
1t is pointed out by treasury Off
Gals that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evil
dence of their value is the eagerness
of the Spectator to get possession Of
them. He knows what they are
worth. The Liberty Bond owner does
not know the value Of the stock" or
.bond" he is offered in exchange for
his government security.
Liberty bonds have back Of them
the entire resources of the United
states which makes them worth their
face value. The person who ex-
q anges them for some other kind of
paper risks losing the money invest
ed in his bond as well as the inter-
est
other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that the wars
over and they are no longer obligat-
cd to hold them. Although fighting
has ceased, the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
our soldiers are home. A Liberty

fect:ng on his own patriotism and
surrsndering an investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
It is recognized that there are
times when investors are compelled
70 seek relief from financial distress.
Often their first impulse is to DIS
nose of their Liberty Bonds. In sucn
cases the bank is the place to go.

FIGHTING AND
FEEDING RUSSIA

Mr.. Hoover says it is now the duty
of A merica to feed Russia He says
that to feed her is the way to estab-
fish order in Russia. But to feed
Russia at one end and fight Russia
at the other end would seem foolish
policy for the United States.
If we are to continue fighting
Russia there should be no talk of
feeding her. If we intend to feed
Russians, we should stop fighting
them.

NOT AS BIG AS
BR|T|AN'S BILL
Cost of War to America Not
Nearly Equal to What Eng
lish Ally Must Pay.

Twenty-one months of our war with
Germany cost the United States $685.
356,000,000, the treasury department
calculates. Huge munitions and other
contracts have been cancelled. Man
ufacturers are now presenting their
bills and receiving payments for ma
terials delivered months ago in the
heat of the struggle.
Included in the enormous total OF
SIG, 1856 900 900 is the sum OF $685.
000, 900 loaned to the Allies. When we
began lending to the Allies, the gov
eminent contemplated turning over
to them about $5OO,O00,0O a month
but actual loans ordinarily ran around
$3S0,000,000 monthly
OF the total war bill about $18,000,-
100000 has been raised so far by the
Liberty Loans. The fact that we have
not covered our war debt is the rea
son for the Victory Liberty Loan. In
other words we haven't paid for the
job.
The cost of the war to Great Brit
ain was s4O,640, 100000. Germany is
out S38.750, 100000 exclusive Of indem
mites the Allies may imaose.

Initiative, Power, Control-the
three ruling factors in business per-
sonality
And the greatest of these is Control.
Control over self that keeps the judg-
ment keen and the mind undesturbed
through the height of hope and the
depths of Encouragement
Control over men that holds some at
a distance and brings other near; that
inspires all to thir best efforts for the
business
Control over the affairs of business
that brooks no lack of system, no
vast of affort, no neglect of oppor-
tunity, but accomplishes result in
evitable, relentlessly---
That is the source of Mental Grasp

SAVING BEATS EARNING:
TOO BAD ESAU DIDN'T
LIVE TO ENJOY IT ALL.

If Esau and Jacob who lived
some six thousand years ago,
were still alive, and if Esau had
earned $40 every day, and had
saved it all, he would have
s21. 100000. On the other hand,
il Jacob had deposited 81 at
per cent. interest, compounded
every 100 years, he would have
today $685. 60,752, 303 ,423, 4SS.
Can anyone figure out how
much Jacob would have had had
he purchased one IS War Say
ing Stamp then, which pays in
terest at the rate of 4 per cent,
compounded four times every
year? There is an idea in all
this: How much would every
child have if its parents should
start it out with SIS stamp, and
then encourage the youngsters
to save?

CEREMONY IS VERY SHORT
First Act Which Started War Com mitted Five Years Ago When Austrian Crown Prince Was
 Killed at Saragevo.

 The ceremony which marked the end of war and the dawn of peace consumed exactly g minutes. It's conclusion was announced by Pre- mier Glemenceau in the terse state ment:
 The conditions of peace are now an accomplished fact; the proceed- ings are closed.@
 Thus was ended the world con hasration which began just five years ago with the assassination of the Austrian crown prince at Sara. sero and which entailed the downfall of fo4r empires and a score of minor kingdoms and principalities.
 Two years ago, on June 26, 1917. the first of the American expedition ary force arrived in France and Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States. having affixed his sig nature to the document which seals the peace made possible by the aid of American arms, left Paris for Brest on his way back to Washing ton and received the most enthusias- tic ovation he has been accorded since his arrival in Europe II was Frances parting tribute to the man who showed the world the way to peace.
