"RUY LIBERTY BONDS"

Prices of the various issues of Lib erty bonds have sagged again, some of them selling at SS or whereabouts. That is good news for persons with savings laid by who are looking for the best investment in the world. Anyone who buys a A per cent bond of the United States government at SS cents on the dollar gets a glittering bargain.
 The latest decline is attributed to the selling of bonds by wealthy men who intend to reinvest their funds in 5A per cent treasury certificates As usual, the ticker statisticians figure the loss to the 20 million or more citizens who bought such bonds at par when they were issued by the govern ment. For persons who find enjoy ment in spectacular figures the esti- mates may have an interest. But, as a matter of fact. to those who bought and now hold the bonds as an invest ment there has not been a cent of loss. The government has paid the interest as the coupons came due and it will continue to do so. And when the bonds mature the government will pay them at their full face value.
 Meanwhile, the thing for the wise man with money to do when Liberty bond prices decline is to buy more of the bonds. There is no safer invest ment-Chicago News.
