Too many are content to seek protection’through insurance when the sensible course: would be to make fires practically impossible. ... This is not said with any intent to decry the business of the insur- ance companies, but rather as an aid to them in the efforts they are all making to impress upon the people the great necessity for adequate pro- tection. Contrary to the belief of many people, it is the desire of the companies. that the very best possible protection be furnished, for while reducing the rate and consequent cost of insurance, it also practically ;f';::ot:u:'l'lg/ tll;:’yce: "l,l,e as eliminates the risk resulting in a decided saving to the companies. low .as equal quality is sold The writer has in mind a town of about 2,000 inhabitants that, al- for anywhere. though there is a river flowing directly through the corporate limits, has Men’s Watches, $8.00 to $100; not the faintest approach to fire protection.

One is by taxation. The other is by the sale of bonds, which is a method of borrowing money. The government bond is the printed promise of the government to pay back the borrowed sum of money at a certain time, and to pay in- terest on it at regular intervals until it is repaid. The government borrows money in this way only after it has been given the right to do so by act of Congress approved by the President, and the terms of the loan are set out in the act. Back of the promise of the government stands the honor of the gov- ernment and all its taxing resources. Really the whole wealth of the na- tion stands behind this solemn promise of the government to pay. This makes a United States government bond the safest investment in the world. If the bond of the United States government is not safe, no preperty in the United States is safe. If the United States can not pay its bonds, it is hardly probable that it will be able to protect the citizens in their other rights. The Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 are especially attractive invest- ments. Not only have they this absolute safety characteristic of all United States bonds but they are tax free not only from all existing taxes but from any war tax that may subsequently be levied. No state, city, nor county may tax tihem. The inheritance tax of the United States and of some 1y affect them, or, rather, affect their transfer after death of the ¢ inheritance, Ano <e Liberty Loan Bonds possess is that if the Ve MAPS i tfii WO RLD | Bemid'i Pioneer | THE WORLD AT A GLANCE Nothing Omitted.
