Liberty Loan Bonds.
A Liberty Loan Bond is a solemn
promise of the United States to
pay at maturity the amount of the
bond to the holder thereof, and to
pay interest semiannually each
year from the date of the issuance
of the bond until it is fully and fi
nally paid.
The faith and honor of the
United States, backed by all of the
resources of the nation and the
American people. A Liberty Loan
bond is a mortgage on all the re
sources and taxing powers of the
government and all the resources
of the American people.
There are two kinds of Liberty
Loan bonds. Bearer bonds are to
be issued in denominations of $50,
$100. $500 and $1,000. These
Bearer bonds, which are made pay
able to bearer, have interest cou
pons attached which are detached
by the holder when the interest in
stallments they represent are due,
and can be cashed at any bank the
same as a United State treasury
note.
Registered bonds are to be is
sued, which are registered as to
both principal and interest, in de
nominations of $100. $500. $1,
000, $5,000, $10,000, $50,000
and $100,000: checks for the
amount of interest due will be
mailed out semiannually to the
holders of these registered bohds
Liberty Loan bonds of the first
issue of $2,000,000,000 are to
bear date of June 15, 191?, and to
run for thirty years, except that
the government reserves the right
to pay them fifteen years after
date. If this right is not exercised
by the government fifteen years
from date, the bonds will run the
full thirty years.
These bonds bear interest at 3'2
per cent per annum, and interest
is payable semiannually on the
fifteenth day of Qecember and the
fifteenth day of June in each year.
One special advantage no other
bonds, national, 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 hold
ers of these Liberty bonds have the
right to exchange their Liberty
bonds for bonds bearing the higher
i rate of interest, dollar for dollar.
They are nontaxable. If your
city, county and state taxes are 3
mills on the dollar, a not an unusu
al tax, these bonds are equivalent
to ordinary corporate bonds or oth
| er investments bearing 6^ per
| cent.
In addition, no federal tax which
; war conditions may later make
! necessary will affect these bonds.
The only tax these bonds are sub
ject to is the inheritance tax, which
applies to all property of all kinds
whatsoever.
Bl&hk forms of application for
the purchase of these bonds can be
obtained from the Treasury De
partment, any Federal Reserve
bank, any National, State or pri
vate bank, any express office, and
1 any postoffice in the United States.
Any bank or postmaster will aid
applicant in filling out his blank and
the other acts necessary to obtain
these bonds.

Rey. E. J. Wittle of Little Rock,
southern district superintendent of
the Arkansas Children Home so
ciety, was in Huttig last week so
liciting funds for the Home and
trying to locate some of the chil
dren in homes here.
The society is non-sectarian,
non-political and interdenomina

homes for the orphans, neglected,
abandoned and abused children of
the state.
It has already found homes for
over 500 children and has 33 for
placement at present. The home
in Little Rock is only capable of
looking after this number, so no
more can be received until some of
these are placed. If you want a
bright boy or girl to adopt write to
Rev. O. P. Christian, Little Rock.

PRfSS ASSOCIATION IRIP.
The tditor and Wife Arrived Nome Sunday
from Enjoyable Outing.
The forty-fifth annual meeting
of the Arkansas Press association
was held at Fort Smith May 14th
and 15th and the editors and their
ladies enjoyed a four days' trip
through the great fruit belt of
northwest Arkansas, arriving in
! Little Rock at 12:30 Sunday
| morning tired but happy.
Fort Smith, where the conven
tion was held, always has been a
good manufacturing and jobbing
town but since the discovery of the
Kibler natural gas fields at its door
she has grown by leaps and bounds
land a large number of new facto
ries are being erected at present
which will give employment to
several thousand men and greatly
increase its population.
Winslow, on the Frisco railway,
was the first stop. It is an ideal
location for a summer resort and
has several summer hotels and
here is located the Dunlop memo
rial school for mountain boys and
girls which is doing a great work.
The night was spent at Fayette
ville, the county seat of Washing
ton county and the home of the
State University, which was visited
in the afternoon and where a ban
quet was served that night. .Over
! 200 hundred of the students of the
university have enlisted in some
branch of the army or gone home
to help produce food stuffs, so the
closing days of this term are not
as lively as usual.
... At Spnn^dale the party were
taken m automobiles and given
a twenty-five mile drive over good
roads and through immense apple
orchards. The large growers only
expect about a half yield this year
on account of the severe hail storm
in that locality recently.
At Rogers, one of the best towns
in that section, the editors were
given a reception at the Mutual
Aid Union building and an auto
ride over the city after which they
were taken to Monte Ne, the fa
mous summer resort owned by
"Coin” Harvey, of free silver fame,
where dinner was served and two
hours spent in boating on the beau
tiful lake.
From Monte Ne we were carried
to Bentonville by autos over the
same kind of good roads we had
been riding on. After a trip over
the town the Park Springs ho‘ei
and Bella Vista, two near by sum
mer resorts, were visited. Bella
Vista is the newest one and will be
one of the best in the state
when completed, as tne lo ation is
beautiful and the natural surround
ings ideal.
Leaving Bontonvule Friday
morning the pleasure seekers went
by Lam to Cravette ard from there
to Sulphur Springs, Decatur and
Gentry by auto. At Gentry dinner
was served and then an auto ride
to Siloam Spring over what was
the best roads if any were better
than the other. Siloam Springs is
another one of Arkansas' famous
summer resorts and is also a most
progressive town, as it is the small
est town in the United States with
a chartered add club and also owns
a municipal building that would be
a credit to a town many times it
size. A banquet was served at
the Masonic hall that night.
Leaving Siloam Springs at 5:15
Saturday morning, the most stren
uous day of the trip, was enjoyed.
Short stops were made at Fort
Smith and Greenwood, and at
Hartford the mines of the Central
Coal and Coke Co., where the fa
mous Arkansas smokeless coal
is mined, were visited by the men
while the ladies were entertained
with a musical recital. Here a
bounteous dinner was served and
the party left at 4 o’clock for
Booneville to visit the Arkansas
Tuberculosis sanitarium, which
was a revolation to all and Dr.
Stewart, who is in charge, is en
titled to all the praise that can be
given for the efficient management
and noble work he is doing.
The annual press excursions are
a wonderful school for the editors
of the state and until one has trav
eled to the four corners of Arkan
sas he cannot realize the great re
sources of the state and the diver
sity of soils, crops, mining, indus
tries and climate. The state is
today in its infancy as regards de
velopment and is destined to
become one of the foremost, in the
United States within the next
twenty years.
County Banks Organize to Sell
I iiierty Bonos.
Representatives of the six banks
in Union county met in El Dorado
Thursday and formed a county unit
of the St. Louis Federal Reserve
bank to assist in selling the Gov
ernment Liberty Loan bonds by
electing C H. Murphy, cashier of
the Citizens National Bank of El
Dorado, as chairman, and O B.
Clark, assistant cashier of the Vic
toria Bank of Strong, secretary.
Each bank will try to sell their op
portionment, which is 6 per cent of
its banking resources which wiii
mean $7,OOO.00 for Huttig. The
banks also agreed to loan any per
son 80 per cent of the face value
of the bond purchased at 5 per
cent interest for 90 days with the
privilege of renewing if same is not
fciroo. Or*
of the long time of the bonds the
banks cannot purchase them, but
the First National Bank of Huttig
purchased $10.000 00 worth of
the last issue of short time go/ern
ment certificates which they are
allowed to handle.
This makes it possible to buy a
bond and pay for it on the monthly
installment plan.
