them the other day with man bet
ter versed in business and finance
than himself, expressed something be-
tween an inclination and determi-
nation to sell these securities and in
vest the money in bonds paying a
higher rate of interest.
Don't do it," said the Wise One.
'0The Liberty bonds pay as well as
anything that can be called really
good"
To this statement the owner of the
bonds demurred and mentioned other
bonds undeniably sound, bearing a
higher interest.
"You are wrong" declared the ex,
pert. "Those securities are all right,
but they pay no better than the Lib
critics. In figuring what interest your
bonds pay, you should forget what
they cost you and think only of what
they would sell for. What they would
fetch in the market to-day is your in
vestment to-day. The difference be-
tween that and par is loss and irrel-
evant 70 the present interest rate.
This view Of the matter was quite
new to the amateur financier. and he
was reluctant to accept it as accurate,
yet accurate it is in spite CT the fact
that those who hold their Liberty
bonds till maturity will get back their
original investment in full. For that
is the making Of profit on present in
vestment.
At any rate that's what the Wise
One said, and he ought to know. New

since most people use about fifty

work and everyone's else.
Work hard. Persist. Be square.

will go to you, not to stockholders or
others.
Begin with your own savings. Tha,
