BUY LIBERTY BONDS NOW.

The whole list of Liberty bonds
may now be bought upon the same
principle that Investment was made
in small way in War Savings
Stamps. The stamps were bought
below par with a view Of having them
paid at par at maturity. So now the
Liberty Bonds may be bought far be-
low par and if they are held to matur-
ity the holder will get one hundred
cents on the dollar. Take the Fourth
Liberty AIS which are selling below
"a. An investment Of say $840 now
will in 1928 bring payment Of ST.
600 and in addition, the bond will pay
annually $3.50 as interest and if this
interest is deposited when the coupons
are clipped so that it will be com
pounded there will be another $1,000
accumulated by the time the Liberty
bond natures. Some parents are
making ansinvestment Of this kind for
very young children so that by the
time they reach the age of 21 years
they will have $4,000 of capital avail
able which grew out of an investment
of 100000 families in the United
States would adopt this course, the
question Of the public absorbing the
funded debt would be solved.

The new hotel is being erected by
the High Point Hotel company and
will cost approximately 100000. j.
L. Grouse, of Greensboro, is the con-
tractor. Recently the city council
agreed to cut a street between the
church and the hotel, which will make
it possible for the building to be
erected on a corner. The hotel cor
DoTation donated the property for the

pense of paving it.
