INVESTMENT VALUE SHOWN
"They Always Are Worth More Than
You Paid for Them" Slogan
of 1920.

''They are always worth more than
you paid for them"
With this as their slogan representa-
tives of the War Savings organization
of the Seventh federal reserve district
are touring the states of Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin
showing banks, corporations and indi-
viduals the high investment value Of
the 1920 Treasury Savings certificates

form of government security has been
placed in local banks, and for the
financial prosperity of the nation and
the individual, the government is
urging a wide distribution.
The Treasury Savings certificates,
which are virtually "Baby" bonds, bear
interest at a rate little better than
AZ per cent. The price of the 500
certificates for January is $82.40; Feb
ruary $3.50. The price increases 20
cents month. The $1,000 certificates
may be purchased in January for 1924
and in February for 1926. This class
of security increases So month.
Here are some Of the attractive fea-
lures of the 500 and $1,000 certifi-
Gates:
They carry valuable tax-exenption
privileges.
They cannot depreciate in value, not
being subject to market fluctuations.
They are always worth more than
you paid for them.
They yield substantial income, ac-
tually more than Az per cent.
They are short term, maturing Janu-
airy 1, 1925.
They represent absolute safety as
obligations of the United States gov
eminent.
A change has been made in the terms
of the 1920 certificates. They are re-
deemabIe at the treasury beginning
with the second calendar month after
the month of purchase without the ten
days demand required by the terms Of
the 1919 certificates.
A special issue Of Treasury Savings
certificates has been put on the market
for conversion purposes. 1t is pos
sible for the holders Of 1913 and 1919
War Savings certificates to convert
them into these special Treasury Saw
ings certificates, whose terms and con-
ditions are substantially the same as
those of the 1920 issue except for their
earlier maturity dates.

certificates of the 1918 or 1919 issue
which bear War Savings stamps hav-
ing a total maturity value of 500 or
some multiple of hundred dollars

certificates for the same maturity
value of Treasury Savings certificates
of the corresponding issue. When two
or more War Savings certificates of
the same issue are offered for ex-
change, each one need not bear its full
complement of 20 War Savings stamps,
provided the total value of the stamps
aggregates $500 or some multiple of it.
Treasury Savings certificates taken

The old 'bread line" is gone from
it's accustomed place in the cities. In

huddled queues of men no longer wait

of the passing of the hobo.
Everywhere, for lack of guests, the
cheap lodging houses are being aban-
doned. Only a few old, decrepit men
remain in the Salvation Army Indus

crowded dormitories of the Helping

has been lifted from his old plane by
the war. A study of the conditions of
migrant labor is now being conducted
by the Interchurch World Movement
that it may lay the facts before the
Protestant Churches of America,
whose closer cooperation is its larger
purpose. This study shows that the
hobo has found a closer succession of
jobs, a higher return for his labor. He
has become almost a STEADY" worker.
He no longer needs his old refugees.
Beyond the reach of these agencies,
he offers the Protestant Churches an
opportunity to provide new means of

his standard of living, and the Inter-

termining how this may best be
achieved
