EARL MATHEWSON CHURCH SUBSCRIBES TO THE LIBERTY LOAN ‘Reported as Subscriber This ction. The Yantic church has subscribed for a $500 Tiberty Bond. This is the first church to_report a subsecription to_the Liberty Loan in this section. No greater act of patriotism can be shown to the Stars and Stripes than to thus comsecrate your spare dollars to the cause of Liberty and World Dem- ocracy in whose defence and for whose perpetuation our sword has been unsheathed. We all of us cannot go to war. It is just as important that many of us remain a# home, as soldiers of our great econimic army. upon which the nation must depend for all the sup- plies and wealth, without which no war can be successfully prosecuted. But there is not a single one of us who cannot prove ourselves fired by an equal patriotic evor by taking as many of the Liberty Bonds as our means will permit without impairment to_our financial resources. In asking you to subscribe for Lib- erty Bonds, the government does not ask the citizen to spend money. In- stead it holds out an opportunity to save and invest. It merely asks for the use of ready cash. Tt offers to pay well for the privilege and to give in return the safest investment in the worli—a United States bond. When you invest in a Liberty Bond vou get a signed “promise to pay” backed by the total resources of the richest nation on the face of the globe. Is Firet in Our last big government loan, the $200,000,000 of 3 per cent. Spanish- American War Bonds, was sold in ®old in 1898 at par and by 1900 the price had risen to 110 3-4 Liberty Loan Bonds may be secured in multiples of $50. This makes it possible for every earning person _to share in this great investment. The bonds will bear 3 1-2 per cent. inter- est and will he dated June 1917, with interest payable semi-annually, December 15 and June 15. Bonds will hecome due in 30 years and be redeem- able in 15 years. COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS. Seven Were Approved on Monday by Commissioner James J. Donohue.
