YOUR LIBERTY BOND

The United States government Dor.
rowed money from you to finance
the war. You hold the governments
promise TO pay you back. This prom.
Use is called Liberty bond or Vic
toy note. on this bond is stated
the conditions under which the gov.
ernment borrowed the money from
you.
For instance: If you hold q bond of
the third Liberty loan. it states that
on April 18th, and october 18th of
each year until maturity. you will
receive interest on the amount you
paid for the bond. Other issues bear
other rates Of interest and other ma
turity dates, all of which are clearly
stated on the bond.
Now, if you keep your bond until
the date when the government pays
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 liv-
ing up to your agreement with each
other, and neither will lose by it.
on the other haand, if you sell
your Liberty bond now, you will
find that Jhe man you sell it to will
not give you a dollar for every dol.
lar you paid for il. The price has
been brought down because so many
people are Offering to sell their bonds.
If the market is flooded with toma.
toes. you can buy them eheap, but
if everyone is clamorins FOR toma-
toes and there are few to be had,
the price goes up. The same is true
of Liberty bends. Short-sighted peo-
pie are dumping them on the market,
and wise ones are buying them.
The best advice that can be given
to the owner of a Liberty bond is
this: Hold the bynd you bought dur
ing the war; 1t is as safe and sound
as the United States government it.
self.
Buy as many more at the present
low rate as you can afford. If you
hold them TO maturity, you are bound
to make the difference between what
they sell at now and their face value.
You will also receive good interest
on your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty bonds and
buy more.

ENID Eagle.
In our judgment the time has
come in Enid when men who are in
business here should begin to consid-
er how little margain of profit they
can put upon their goods and still
prosper and not how great toll
they can exact from the consuming
public II we are to judge by press
reports price cutting has already be-
gun in many eastern centers and will
of course spread all over the country
in time. The thrifty merchant who is
wide awake to the times will early
sense the need Of doing his part in
reducing the high cost of living and
will by a judicious sacrifice in prof.
decline.
The merchants of Enid owe ii to
the city TO lead in establishing its
reputation as a trade center. People
will quickly notice any discrepancy in
price, especially on staple goods, be-
tween the hamlet or toYn near which
they reside and the larger trading
centers.
Enid has always enjoyed the rep.
utation of being city that has at
tracted its trade from wide areas.
1t must maintain this reputation.
