HOLD ON TO YOUR unit
Ed STATES BONDS.

The United States Government
borrowed money from a large
number of citizens in Jackson
county to finance the War. You
hold the Governments promise
to pay you beck. This promise
is called a Liberty Bond or Vic
tory Note. On this Bond is
stated the conditions under
which the Government borrowed
the money from you.
For instance: If you hold a
Bond of the Third Liberty Loan.
it statss that on April 18th and
October 18th of each year until
maturity you will receive inter-
est on the amount you paid for
the Bond. Other issues bear
other rates Of interest and other
maturity dates, all of which are
clearly stated on the Bond.
Now, if you will keep your
Bond until the date when the
Government bays you in full for
it, you do not need to worry If,
in the meantime, the price is
low one day or high the next.
You and Uncle Sam are living up
to your agreement with each
other, and neither will lose by
it.
On the other hand, if you sell
your Liberty Bond now, you will
find that the man you sell it to
will not give you a dollar for
every dollar you paid for it. The
price has been brought down
because so many people are Of
fering to sell their Bonds. If
the market is flooded with to-
matoes, you can buy them cheap.
but if everyone is clamoring for
tomatoes and there are few to
be had, the price goes up. The
same is true of Liberty Bonds,
Short-sighted people are dump
ing them on the market. ano
wise ones are buying them.
The best advise that can be
given to the owner of a Liberty
Bond is this. Hold the bond you
bought during the war; it is as
safe and sound as the United
States Government itself.
Buy as many more at the pres
ent low rate as you can afford
If you hold them to maturity
you are bound to make the diff
: ference between what they sci
: at now and their face value. YoI
will also receive good interest OF
: your investment.
: Hold on to your Liberty Bond
; and buy more.

Give Heed TO The WALLS
OF THE POOR TEACHER
ANDHUMBLE
Yuby Dam, U. S. A.

Of course as you all we'll know.
All of you at least who have read
the news, that there is a great
outcry for a little more pie to be
dealt out to the teachers ana
preachers.
Everybody has found out that
they are not getting their share
of the apple cobbler. Not enough
to make good red blood trot thru
their veins.
Many are being forced to quit
their jobs, so that you now nnd
thousands of schools untaught
and churches without preachers,
This is indeed sad. 1t is a bad
state of affairs, when the coun-
try will stand idly by and let the
very salt of the earth be tramp
led underfoot. This all savors
of something bad.
The world needs all of its good
men and women and its good In
stitutions.
Even the best we can do is
bad enough. We have always
kept rough house, down thru
all the ages. We pulled hair and
broke noses by the basket full.
The tares have grown up with
the wheat forever, and the rose
and the thorn have hung dang
ling from the same stem, and
saint and sinner have butted
heads together down in this
dreary, drizzly world. Lend a
hand.
The teacher and preacher are
not going to ask for too much.
They are liberal minded gentle
men. All they ask is a square
deal. They wont swipe the last
pea out of the dish. They are
not going to demand their pound
of flesh, They ask no special
favor. They do not claim to be
the chief ant in the Lord
sugar bowl" All they crave i;
their prorata part, The time
has come for a change. They
have stood like ''Micawber" Ions
enough, waiting for something
to turn up,,. They must nov
find a four leaf clover. If the!
are not dished out a little mor'
succor they will step down ant
out, and then the boys will plcl
up the United States and wall
off to the Demnition Bow-wow
with it.
Nav the good Lord smile o.
the poor humble teacher an
preacher and lead them gentl
on.
Just as | go to press | hea

SOCIAL-RELICIOUS BUILD.
ING AT M. 7. N.

been closed by the students ana
faculty at the Middle Tennessee
Normal, Of the initial move in a
large campaign to secure $780,
900 for the erection of a Social
Religious Building on the campus
of M. T. N. This building will
fill many urgent needs, long felt
by the students, and at the same
time be a fitting and permanent
memorial to the 460 M. t. N.
men, who served their country
so bravely during the great
world war. 1t will be especially
dedicated to the gold star men,
who made the supreme sacrifice.
That the studeuts and faculty
feel the need of, and have a
most earnest desire for the build
ing, is evidenced by the fact,
that the goal set for the present
student body, at $4,000, was ex-
ceeded more than $4,000. More
than $13,0 900 being pledged. Five
wounded ex-soldiers now enroll
ed in school, pledged $3.50, and
the children of the 5th and 7th
grades asked the privilege OF
pledging $113. The Rotary Club
of Murfreesboro has offered tC
take over the campaign in this
city, and expect to raise at least
Sl3, 900 for the cause. From the
Rockefellow foundation we ex
pect to secure a minimum of 81,
with a possible maximum of S2,
for every 81 that we raise. While
the Alumni share in this move
ment was estimated at first a
only $4,000, the present studen
body will be disappointed if it
own record of $4,000 is not sur.
passed by its older brothers ant
sisters.
The call goes forth to the loya
Alumni of NJ. I. N, to rally t
this great movement. An invita-
ton has beed extended, calling
each son and daughter of M. 1
IN. home for commencement
