Urges Bond Investments
Pointing out that there is no such
thing as "overinvesting" in Wan
Bonds, Frank W. Wrightson, State
Chairman, urged county farmers to
take advantage of the present favor
able farm income and make a maxi
mum investment in War Bonds that
will do much to give their farm bust
ness permanent financial stability.
Stresses Good Markets
Mr.. Wrightson stated that, "The
way farmers invest their wartime in
come will, to large extent, determine
the prosperity of agriculture for the
next generation. Due to the combi-
nation of favorable growing seasons
and good markets which have prevail
ed rather generally for the last three
years, it is seldom that farmers have
an opportunity of investment like the
present"
Good Financial Reserve
No investment is quite so good for
farm financial reserve as War
Bonds, Mr.. Wrightson said. They are
as safe as money itself for currency
and Government bonds both have the
resources of the United States back of
them. Both are an obligation to pay
by the United States Government. For
the bond this obligation extends to in,
terest as well as the principal.
Pays Highest Interest
A person can always redeem an E
Bond anytime go days after issue, if a
financial emergency should arise. In
addition to these important advant-
ages, the E Bond pays the highest
rate of interest of any Government
securities now available. With giant
scale offensives in both Europe and
the Pacific, the Sixth War Loan Drive
increase in its vital Importance.
