LIBERTY BONDS SHOULD , BE HELD BY PURCHASER WITHYCOMBE ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY FOR SECOND TERM L One who subscribes for a Liberty bond and gets credit as a patriot for doing so is not acting patriotically if he immediately sells- that bond, that is, unless he imperatively needs the money, says Secretary McAdoo. It is not the mere subscription that helps the government, it is the actu al loan; shifting the bond to some ont else does not help. The same objection lies to ex changing Liberty Loan bonds in trade. , Merchants offering to take Liberty loan bonds in exchange for merchandise are doubtessly actuated by patriotic motives, but such trans actions tend, to defeat a primary ob ject of the bond sale, the encourag ing of thrift and the discouraging of expenditures. Bonds so exchanged are in most cases immediately sold on the open market which tend to de press the market price and affects adversely the sales of future .issues. Secretary McAdoo expressly states that there is no desire on .the part of the government to prevent or inter fere with legitimate trading, in good faith, in Liberty bonds. , It is one of the great objects of the treasury department to have these bonds' held as permanent in vestments by the people and paid foi out of savings, thus at once provid ing funds for1. the government and conserving labor and material. There are the soundest reasons for holding Liberty . bonds. Their quota tions under par onthe stock exchange means a loss only to those who sell. The financial history of the United States shows that in times of peace all of its borfds have gone above par, some as high as . 139. The' tremen duous growth of our resources and of our trade, our domestic trade alone having increased from $30,000,000,000 to $64,000,000,000 . in the last four years, warrants the belief that our government bonds are the soundest investments in the world and with the restoration of peace conditions will command a handsome premium in the market. ,; m rm i:tfi i IMMM In keeping with the spirit of the time9 we have se cured a new supply of the following much-sought-after Martial Selections Keep The Home Fires Burning.
