YOUR LIBERTY BOND
No Need For Worry.-Worth One
 Hundred Per Cent

The United States Government bor- rowed money from you to finance the war. You hold the Governments promise to pay you back. This prem ise is called q 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: 1T yoa hold bond of the Third Liberty Loan, 1t states that on April 18th and October 18th of each year until maturity, you win 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 1t, yoa do not need to worry if. in the meantime, the price is low one day or high the next HoI and Uncle Sam are Ewing up to yonr agreement with each other, and neith- CT will lose by it-
 On the other hand. If you sell your Liberty Bond now, you will find that that man you sell # to will not gixe you dollar for every dollar you paid for 1t 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 everyone Is eiamoring for tomatoes and there are few to be had, the price goes up The same IS true of Liberty Bonds. Shor7- sighted people are dumping them a. the market, and wise oBts 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 tho 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

LAID BY FOR THE WINTER
Housewives of Early New York Dis

Months Supply.

The eleventh hour, or, rather. six

In these days Of frenzieds house
Wlfery would have seemed a strange
madcap phenomenon to the good
housewives Of old New York. They
would have felt ill provided should
they have had less than six months
provisions in the larder.
According to the memory of one
small boy of seventy-five years ago
the thrifty Dutch folk who lived along
the west side of what is now down
town New York laid in stores in Oc-
tober and November to last until April
or May. They bought a quarter of
beef. hog or Sheep to furnish the
pieces de resistance of the winters
meals The beef was corned or
smoked. The pork and mutton was
similarly cured and put away. The
smoking was done in public smoke
houses, maintained for profit.
A barrel of flour, two or three of
apples and potatoes added the vege-
table content to the menus. Other
supplies to lend variety were laid by
in lesser quantities. All sorts of farm
products were purchasable in the fall
at minimum prices, because at that
time many sailing vessels and barges
came down the river from upstate
laden with stores. AS winter and the
closing of the river approached the
farmers and merchants grew anxious
to dispose of their stocks and the
townfolk consequently bought at an
advantage, which they were not slow
to take.-New York Evening Sun.
