u. S. Government Bonds are the highest
type of investment security in the world

Today Liberty Bonds are with
out exception selling considerably
below their face value, a situation
which has not existed in the case
of bonds Of our Government since
Civil War days.
To many owners of Liberty
Bonds this fact has been. the cause
of considerable concern which a
deeper analysis does not justify.
One of the chief factors in the
present low price Of Liberty Bonds
is the cost of money. The prevail
ing rates Of interest on money
since the war have been abnor-
mally high, and Liberty Bonds to
be salable have had to seek price
level that would more nearly meet
these prevailing rates.
Another factor is the great num-
ber of Liberty Bonds on the market
for sale. The amount of these
bonds outstanding - nineteen bill
lion dollars worth-is so huge,
that although the number on the

market represents a smaller per-
centage than in the case Of many
other securities, it is still sufficient
to provide an oversupply.
The above factors have in no
way affected the security back of
these bonds. It is recognized as
unimpeachable.
The cost of money gives every
promise of becoming cheaper
steadily until it reaches normal
levels. Liberty Bonds should reflect
this by increasing in price.
Liberty Bonds are now being
bought constantly by the U. S.
Government itself for sinking fund
purposes as well as by other pur-
chasers who plan to hold them
until maturity. The supply should
therefore decrease, tending to i'm

They are selling now at prices

that of many less desirable securi-
ties in normal times.

Walster. "Rafters, in a summer kit
chen or some other building on the
farm which can be heated are good
spots. Under the ceiling of porch
where neither rain or the direct sun
light can strike the ears is another
favorable place. No matter where
seed is stored, have the ears arranged
SO that they do not, touch each other.
There are devices for accomplishing
this object, altho the old fashioned
method Of hanging the ears over a
wire by tying the husks of two ears
together or by using string to hang
separate ears from rafters or other
places are still considered to be good
methods to use. Do not store the
corn on the south side of the barn
where direct Sunlight or rain will
strike it, nor. on the wind mill nor in
