Man Loses Money Who Sells
Liberty Bonds Now.
San Francisco. Cal. "Daily quota
tions on Liberty Bonds which, at pre
sent, show them bulow par, have
nothing to do with the maturity val
ue of the bonds and are of no interest
to the ordinary bond holder," Gover
nor Joliu V. Calkins of the San Fran
cisco Federal Reserve Bank declared
here today. "The United States Gov
ernment will redeem every Liberty
Bond at Its maturity date at face val
ue plus accrued interest."
The reason for the decline In the
price of the Government securities Is
that speculators, anxious to win
higher returns on riskier Invest
ments, have thrown their Liberty
Bonds on the market, while subscri
bers who in some cases have found
difficulty in completing payments.
have let go of large blocks of tlit
bonds. The daily quotations on Li
berty Bunds reflect the action of
these forces which fix market values.
.Market values, however, have noth
ing whatever to do with real values.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in
the leading article on its financial
page recently, said:
"It is well known that .large a
mounts of Llbertys were offered as
collateral for margin accounts by
speculators. Many of these accounts
were forced to liquidate their collat
erals in the recent break in the stock
market.
"The exchange of Liberty Bonds
for 'wildcat stocks' has taken place
on so great a scale as to cause thous
ands of complulnts to the authorities.
It is safe to say that the persons
receiving these bonds have sold
them.
"The Christmas custom of ex
changing gifts may, to some extent,
be called a contributing factor. Never
were prices so high and never was
the desire to purchase expensive gifts
more prevalent. People reason with
themselves that there is now no pa
triotic necessity for keeping their
Liberty BondB so they sell them to
buy silks and jewels."
Liquidation of Liberty bonds by
holders of small amounts for the
purchase of luxuries has virtually
thrown these bonds into our current
sjstem, owing to their negotiability.
Ibis has expanded our currency,
cheapening the dollar and contribut
ing effectively to raise prices generally-
The man who sells his Liberty
Bonds now looses money. It is good
business to buy more at the present
market values rather than to Bell
what you have.

The man lio says "I can't" is pro
bably right.
To think failure Is to act It.
Success or failure depends on the
spinal column.
Those who fall have wishbones;
those who succeed have backbones.
A backbone means jaw set, teeth
gritted and fist clinched.
A backbone means the determina
tion to pound your fist on the table
and say "I will."
A backbone means the strength to
laugh at obstacles and to overcome
them.
The word "obstacle" is found only
in the lexicon of the week.
Strong men make obstacles their
stepping-stones.
Never say you can't do anything.
Columbus didn't say "I can't", Ful
ton didn't say "I can't," Edison didn't
say "I can't."

can't?" Do you know? They are the

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops
and cuts down costs by investment in
labor-saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers' crops en
courage new investment, mnr- production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world's markets.
The railroads like the farms increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service Is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.
