There are two kinds of Liberty Loan B6nds. Bearer Bonds'are to be issued in denominations of $50, $1. $500 and $1,000. 'l.‘llol. Bearer Bonds, which are made payable to'bearer, have interest pons attached which are detached by the holder when the intere: stallments they reprégent are due, uad can be cashed at any b-nk _the same as a United States Registered bonds aps to be issued, whluh are registered as to both principal and ingerest, in denominations of $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000,-$50,000 and $100,000; checks for the amount of interest due x:’:o mailed out semi-annually to the holders of these registered RTY LOAN BOND? WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF A LIBERTY LOAN BOND? ' Liberty Loan Bonds of the first issue. of $2,000,000,000 are to bear date of June 15, 1917, to run for thirty ye , except that the Government reserves the right to pay them fifteen years after date. If this right is not exercised by the Government fifteen yeoars from date, the.bonds will run the mu thirty years, ‘These bonds bear interest at $3 per cent. per annum, and the in- ‘terest is payable semi-amnually on. the fifteenth day of December and the fifteenth day ot June in each year. WHA’!‘ SPECIAL ADVANTAGES HAVE THESE LIBERTY LOAN' BONDS? ' Ohe special advantage no other bonds Natiopal, State, municipal, or corporate, have is that if the United States during the continuance - of this war shall issue other bonds at a higher rate of interest, the holders of these Liberty bonds have the right to exchange their ‘ll.l;ony bonds for bonds bllrlll the higher rate of interest, dollar for ollar. ¢ \ WHAT OTHER SPECIAL ADVANTAGES DO THESE BONDS POSSESS? 3 They are nontaxible. If your city, county, and State uxu are ‘three mills on the dollar, & 1ot unusual tax, thege bonds are equivalent 1 to ordnary corporate bonds or other investments bearing 6% /Dor - oent. . In addition, no Federal tax which war conditions may later make necessary will affect these bonds. The only tax these bonds are subject to §s the inheritance tax, which applies to all property of all kinds. ‘whatsoever. 1 HOW ARE L!m BONDS OBTAINED? 2 Blank forms of npplinum for the purchase of these bonds can be obtained, from the Treasury Department, any Federal Reserve Bank, any National, State, or private bank, any express office, and any post office in the United States. Any bank or postmaster will aid applicant in filling out his blank and the other acts necemsary to obiain these bonds, IF THESE BONDS ARE sé DESIRABLE, WHY IS o NECEBSAR! TO ADVERTISE THEM SO EXTENSIVELY? | It is not necessary to advertise these bonds to sell the whole issue, but it is earnestly that this loan shill be a popular loan, a loan by and from he e at large of the United and not alone from banks, trust companies, and financiers. To that end bonds are to be issued of small denominations, ' and subscribers for small amounts are to be supplied before the subscribers for large amounts are granted thelr mn subscription. i ¢ 18 IT PA’l‘R.lO‘l'lC TO PURCHASE THESE BONDS? Yes; every American who subscribes to the justice of the course of the United States in entering and conducting the war we are now en- ~ gaged in°should subacribe to the Liberty Loan Bond issue to the extent of his or her financial ability. Every American who ‘subscribes to ‘the bcllet that an American should stand by his or her country should subscribe to the Liberty Loap Bond issue. 3 Bvery American who loves America and is jealous of America’s honor should ‘subscribe to the Liberty Loan Bond issue. The real. success of the loan is.to be more determined 'by .the number of Americans participating in it than by thqeamount subscribed.’ The spirit of the' Nation is going to be judged abroad, especially by our enemies, more by the number of its American men and women who support this bond issue than by the mere amount of money subscribed.

The $5,000,000,000 bond issue of this year is named ‘The Liberty Loan of 1917” because it is to be a loan from & rue people to be used in freeing the world. It is the loan of a liberty-loving people to be devoted to the utdb lishment of liberty in Europe and on the high seas. It is the loan of the great democracy of the New World to redress the wrongs and support the cause of the demoeracy of the Old.

To the Editor of the Herald: Dame Rumor has it that the union barbers are anticipating a change in prices for haircutting, from twenty- ‘five cents to thirty-five cents. This, I think, would be a very unwise move, as it is djubtful if a great many would stand for it. The barber bus- iness is not to be compared with other lines of business.
