YOUR LIBERTY BOND

The United States government bor-
rowed money from you to finance
the war. You hold the government
promise to pay you back. This prom
Use is called Liberty Bond or Vic
tory Note. On this bond is stated the
conditions under which the govern
ment borrowed the money from you.
For instance: II you hold bond
OF the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 18th and October 18th
CT each year until maturity. you will
receive interest on the amount you
raid 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 uni
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 living up to your
agreement with each other. and nei-
Their will lost by It.
On the other hand, If you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find thar
the man you sell it to will mot 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 mar
ket is flooded with tomatoes. you can
buy them. cheap, but If every one 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 dumping them on
the market, and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that can be given
to the owner of 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 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.

LIVE A LIFE
BY DIR. James 1. Vance.

Some of us are so busy trying to
earn a living that we have no time
left to live a life.
The need that is nearest clamors.
Man may not live by bread alone,
but he will not live long without
it. Then there are the mouths at
home to be fed, and the bodies to
be clothed and the rent and the coal
bill and all the other bills.
The living Is as far as some of
Us can get, and it is a poor living,
at that. Born to be men. we have
dropped down to money-grubbers,
and for the average man who stakes
a claim. the grubbing yields but a
bare existence.
What a pathos life p~resentsl
Souls born for the heights must stay
in the swamps.
Yonder is a man whose passion is
music. but he chained to a last be-
because he must earn a living.
There Is another whose passion is
poetry, but he sells groceries to
make a monthly wage.
And so we trudge on in the grind
of our daily toll, with no leisure to
look up. with no chance to get on,
with no opportunity to do anything
but earn a Bit of money that comes
u way on pay day. It may be
honestly earned. but for many of
US there is blood on our wages, the
blood of the better self.
Man was meant to do more than
earn a living. His main business
is to live a life. He can do this as
he earns a living, to be sure, pro-
vided he cuitivates the soul and
gives the spirit a chance. The trag-
edy so often Is that under the s'less
OF physical need. man forgets that
he has a soul, is unmindful that re
Is a spirit.
Man Is immortal. He can bring
to the humblest tasks motives as
high as heaven. He can transform
drudgery with the vision of spiritual
realities. He can glorify wages ry
working not for wages but for the
love of doing his work well. AS lie
does this, he viii be earning a liv-
ing. and more. He will be living a
life.
