WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOND?
It Is Just as Good Today as the Day
You Bought 1t and Is Worth
Holding.

maybe you invested in Liberty
Bonds for patriotic reasons; maybe
you did so because they are the best
investment in the world" says Scrib-
ner's Magazine. whichever your
original motive, the same motive
should impel you to manage your in
,vestment thoughtfully.
"In most instances 1t is unwise as
well as unpatriotic for the investor to
sell his Liberty Bonds. Probably the
chief reason for selling a Liberty
Bond is to provide funds for an emer-
gency. An emergency can usually be
met by borrowing at the bank, using
the bond as collateral.
"The liberal offering Of Liberty
Bonds in the open market depresses
their market price and causes the in
weston to sell his bond at an unneces.
,sary loss. It is extremely poor judy
ment to exchange bonds for stocks or
bonds Of unknown character or to
use Liberty Bonds in payment of mer.
chandise. The broker or the merchant
cannot offer you the equal in value Of
your Liberty Bond.
IF the selling Of a Liberty Bond can.
not be avoided, its sale should be ne.
gotiated through a banker or broker
of known integrity who has facilities
for handling the transaction at a very
small cost"

-PAWNBRoKER's C
Aged Mans Lies Savings Were
Preserved Largely Through
Accident.

The San Francisco newspapers, q
few days ago, chronicled the story Of
an old man whose life savings of 5000
were stolen. The old man kept his
money in a tobacco sack In a suit case
under his bed. He lived in a single
room in a ramshackle house. One
would think that such a place would
be the last resort of an ambitious thief.
Yet when the old man returned to
his room in the evening the suit case
and the money were gone. His plight
in life was serious. 1t looked as if
at the age of sixty years he would
have to start over again. But the po-
lice found the money.
They discovered the suit case in a
pawn shop. The pawnbroker said he
had "lent" $3.50 on it. His indifer-
ence turned to chagrin when the po-
lice opened it and extracted the 5000
from the tobacco sack.
The old a has learned a lesson.
When he RECEIVERS from his joy he
will probably do as he should have
done before his money was stolen-in-
vest it in Liberty Bonds and leave his
bonds in the care of a bank.
With virtually every bank in the
country offering to care for Liberty
Bonds free of charge and to clip the
coupons as they fall due and pay in
terest on them, there is no excuse for
any intelligent American if he elects
to keep his money in his room and
loses it.

HERE is GOOD FINANCE.
City of st. Joseph, Mo, Is Shopping
Bonds and MAKING Money.


Frank Siemans, city comptroller Of
st. Joseph, No.. on watch to increase
the revenues Of that city, has sub
mitted an ordinance to the City Coun.
ell directing the investment Of munich
7al funds appropriated to retire bonds
issued some fifty years ago, in Liberty
Bonds at current market prices. A
small part Of these old bond issues
still have been unredeemed by TIKI
bondholders and at present the city
is drawing 2 per cent on the none
held to meet them.
In submitting the ordinance, ME-
Siemans stated that with the sum al
his disposal from this source, $3.50
he could purchase $4,450 worth Of Lib
erty Bonds bearing AN per cent in
terest yearly or $139.37 as against $7i
now produced. In addition If held +,
maturity this investment would yield
the city an additional sum Of 5000.
This piece Of finance illustrates II
concrete terms the opportunity fol
profit which is presented to every In
weston by Liberty Bonds and Victor
Notes at present prices. They are alb
Isolptely safe, they are backed by thi
I9ntiAs resources Of the nation and vii
hat9deemed upon maturity.

FARMERS IN GOOD A
Crops in Missouri, Arkansas and KEN
lucky Considerably Above Ten
Year Average.

While the farmers in Missouri and
Kentucky who raised wheat in 1920
obtained a yield somewhat less than
the 10-year average, they more than
made up for this on corn, which is
considerably above the average.
In the latest monthly statement Of
the Federal Reserve Bank Of st. Louis
it is stated that the wheat yield for
Missouri this year is 12.5 bushels per
acre as compared with 14.S for the 10
year average. The Kentucky wheat
yield this year is 1912 per acre as COM
pared with 1872 for the 10-year aver
age.
Missouri's corn yield this year is
estimated by the q. S. Department Of
Agriculture at 200,159,000,, or "a per
cent, while the average for 10 years
is 70 per cent. Arkansas corn esti-
mate is 59,232,000 bushels, SO per cent
for the 10-year average. Kentucky's
yield is even greater-90 per cent as
against so per cent for the 10-year
average, with an estimated yield Of
96,941,000 for this year.
With both wheat and corn bringing
good prices, the farmers of these three
states are preparing to make larger
investments than ever in Liberty
Bonds, which are selling considerably
below par now, and to increase their
holdings of Treasury Savings Ger
tificateS.

100 Per Cent Relief.
'The aim of the organization Is 100
per cent relief, the relief which puts
those aided on a self-supporting basis,
which instills in them a confidence for
the future, places in their hands the.
means with which to begin life anew,
and in their hearts the courage to GO
on. Work, that is the prescription
subscribed and provided by those loyal
men and women who have journeyed
into perilous places for the sake Of
their fellow men; to make these peo-
pie independent for the future, to en-.
courage the Pickering fire of national
pride.
"There are S2,291 workers employed
in the industrial establishments of the
Near East Relief, where wool is fur.
nished for the women to spin and
weave, and all the girls who are strong
enough are washing wool, sewing beds,
grinding and sitting wheat, tailoring.
and learning to make lace. The big
problem is to make these women inde-
pendent. !
"About 800 American men and wo-
men, Near East Relief workers, are
now In the field, including SO eminent
physicians and surgeons, 76 nurses, 7
mechanics, is industrial experts, 16
agriculturists, IA psychologists, 197
relief workers, 25 supply and trans

Where Money Goes.
Funds for relief purposes are dis
tributed in two ways: First, the vari-
ous relief centers r authorized by.
the Executive Committee to draw sight.
drafts on New York for specific.
amounts each month; second, by sup
plies purchased in America, the major
portion Of which are shipped to the
committee warehouses at Derindje,
and the remainder either to Beyrouth
or Batoum.
"The relief is rapidly expanding and
meeting the situation, but the future
depends on the continuation of Ameri-
can support"
According to Mr.. Hemphill, the need
for American help to see the destitute
peoples Of the Near East through the
crisis of present conditions is greater
now than ever before on account Of the
uncertainty as to the future, the trucu-t
ience of the Turkish government and
the danger of ~bolshevism from Russia.
which threatens to engulf the whole of
Armenia. /
Who Direct the Work.
Mr. Hemphill is the Chairman of the
Executive Committee Of the Near East
Relief. Other members are DR.. James
L. Barton, Secretary Of the Foreign

sions; Edwin M. Buckley, banker. of
