The United States Government borrowed money from you to finance
the war. You hold the Government's promise to pay you back. This
promise is called a L.berty Bond or Victory Note. On this Bond is stated
the conditions under which the Government borrowed the money from you.
For instance: If you hold a Bond of the Third Liberty Loan, it
states that on April 16th and October 15th of each year until maturity,
you will receive interest on the amount you paid for the Bond. Other
issues bear other rates of interest and other maturity dates, all of which
are clearly stated on the Bond.
Now, if you keep your Bond until the date when the Government pays
you in full for it, you do not need to worry if, in the meantime, the price
is low one day or high the next. You and Uncle Sam are living up to your
agreement with each other, and neither will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your Liberty Bond now, you will find
that the man you sell it to will not give you a dollar for every dollar you
paid for it. The price has been brought down because so many people are
offering to sell their. Bonds. If the market is flooded with tomatoes, you
can buy them cheap, but if everyone is clamoring for tomatoes and there
are few to be had, the price goes up. The same is true of Liberty Bonds.
Short-sighted people are dumping them on the market, and wise ones are
buying them.
The best advice that can be given to the owner of a Liberty Bond is
this: Hold the Bond you bought during the war; it Is as safe and sound
as the United States Government itself.
•
Buy as many more at the present low rate as you can afford. If you
hold them to maturity, you are bound to make the difference between
what they sell at now and their face value. You also receive good interest
on your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and buy more.

The warnings that have been issued through the press during the
past thirty days regarding the fuel shortage should not go unheeded.
This is not propaganda, as some people think, sent out to justify the in-
crease« in oil prices, but a statement of actual fact, backed by statistics
that are readily available, which show that the demand has increased so
much faster than the supply that the condition has actually become alarm
ing.
Men familiar with the situation have long pointed out the coming
of present conditions and the necessity for a government policy encourag
ing the future oil development. Their warnings were in vain and a crisis
usch as the present was necessary to wake the nation to the seriousness
of the situation.
A new problem is now developing and in discussing the same, A. C.
Bedford, chairman of board of directors of the Standard Oil Co., says:
"While we in America have been clamoring for government investigations
of this, and government investigations of that, Great Britain has stepped
into the oil field and obtain a mortgage upon much of the potential
production, not only outside of the U. S. but inside as well.”
Mr. Bedford’s statement is a warning to American business men and
Jaw makers that they must be up and doing if they are to keep pace with
Uncle Sam's foreign competitors.
NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE DREAM
The rising interest ratea are giving the Non-Partisan league organi
zers new campaign material. The arguments are advanced that in North
Dakota the farmers only pay 6 percent and that state owned banks oper
ated with taxpayers money would lower rates to all. They say that if the
government borrows money at less than five percent, the individual should
get it at the same rate.
Here is where their argument falls down. Due to changed world con
ditions the government cannot get money at five percent, let alone for less.
Its treasury certificates to meet current expenses are selling at 5% to
5% per cent and Liberty bonds are at a discount to net around 6 per cent
or better. The strongest industrial corporations are paying from 7 to 8
per cent.
All the Non-Partisan league state owned banks cannot change the
world interest rates through their arguments to the.uninformed may col-
elct $16.00 dues.
Non-Partisan league farmers and industries in North Dakota will
find they have to pay going interest rates and that even Pres. Townley
would not loan his personal funds in North Dakota for 5 per cent when
he can get 7 to S on perfectly sound private and government loans.

Insurance is the greatest basis for credit and insurance funds are the
greatest resource in time of loss for rebuilding homes or starting up a new
business that has been burned out.
'
When values of building and merchandise and when values of land
und all kinds of property have gone up from 50 to 200 per cent few people
have increased insurance.
As a result when fire takes place there is capital destroyed and the
basis of credit wiped out that will take two dollars to replace oue de
stroyed and under-insurance is the rule.
All insurance, even upon human life is being readjusted on a higher
scale of values, just as wages and salaries have gone up, and just as the
cost of living and the value of human life has advanced.
The merchant or the property owner who has his property insured on
the prewar basis, and who is using all his credit in enlarging his stock or
erecting new buildings, would be cut right in two by a fire on the old
basis of values, and take his insurance money in dollars of fifty cent pur
chasing power.

"Old clothes clubs" may he a new idea to some people, but a good
