Loretta had sent for Cynthy, but
Ward did not know that. And as soon
as Cynthy came they conferred together
long and earnestly. Cynthy absorbed
Loretta's condolences just as black
cloth will absorb light-without giving
anything out She was Lorettas fathers
cousin and about sixty-fve years old, a
little old woman with an expressionless
face and constant tremble to her head,
which came from some nervous disease
she had had years before. OF all the
people in the world, Loretta felt that she
could trust Cynthy Hovey. Cynthy
would look after Ward nearly as we'll
as she herself could She would shoe

sionally, it is true. Ward had been
known to look yearningly at maiden,
but there was always Loretta. Loretta
had had disappointment in her early
youth, and was soured on thoughts of
marriage She would not look at a man,

And then suddenly the neighborhood
woke up one morning to the fact that
there was girl right on the premises

about her. Her name was Elizabeth

eleven years, beginning when she was
seventeen, Aunt Cynthy was her only
available relative and they thought
lot of each other. Aunt Gym

DON'T GET PANICKY ABOUT
YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Farm and Fireside:
AS we sit down to write this, Lib
erty Bonds are quoted on the market
at "a; and, in common with o lot of
other folks, we have been curious TO
know why, with the war won, we
should be offered only S94 for the gov
ernment securities we paid the full
price Of 500 to get.
A little investigation brought the
answer to light, and with Liberty
Bonds already in our lockers and the
final Liberty Loan for $1,000 ,000, 900
looming before US, we make haste to
tell you why they are good things to
hang on to and TO buy more of, despite
the low quotation on the market.
The week before the armistice was
signed on November 11th, the market
price Of these bonds was 98. Some
time before that they had been selling
at 96. You'd naturally think that with
the armistice signed the price would
20 up from 98 instead Of down to %,
especially after the Government an
nounced that it would have to ask for
only one more loan of $4,000, 900 900
now that the great world war is over,
instead of the $4,000, ,0O0. 900 it had
planned to ask this year If the war
had gone on.
But history repeats itself in bond
issues just as 1t does in everything
else. United States six per cent bonds
Of the Civil War sold at III q couple
weeks before Lees surrender. After
he surrendered they dropped to 105.
British consols, the record shows, went
lower after Napoleon had been put
out Of business by the English at Wa
terloo.
The answer TO this strange perform
ance seems to be the same on all oc-
casions. It simply is this:
When . war is ended, lot Of peo-
pie who loaded up on war bonds pure
ly out Of patriotism, and often on bor-
rowed money, will, with the spur Of
patriotism removed, want to unload
They want the cash. II they don't
need the cash they are foolish to sell
their bonds.
II you sell your Liberty Bonds now,
you lose. They will 60 to par, unq,es-
tionably; probably they will 60 far
above Il. Thousands Of men got rich
during the Civil War by buying all the
tonds they could get at the low quota
ton, and holding them until they went
way up months after the war ended.
Unless you are mighty hard pressed
for cash, it is good business to hold
tight 10 your Liberty Binds. Even II
-ou n,rst have cash it would be bet
ter to put up your bonds rs security
and borrow the money, rather than
sell the bonds themselves.
In 1866 United States bonds sold
eight per cent above the low price
they were quoted at Immediately af-
ter peace was declared. After their
decline in 1875 British consols sold at
an advance Of II per cent within the
twelvemonth. Both these securities
went far, far above that within . few
years.
We came pretty near getting scared
about these Liberty Bonds ourselves,
but we're not scared now, because
we've got the facts; and we pass them
along in the hope that they may clear
up the situation for some Of you Farm
and Fireside folks.
