All workers for the success of the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be interest
ed in the following statement given
out at Washington by Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo:
“■While enthusiastic reports of the
progress of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign are being received from
many parts of the country, subscrip
tions filed with the incorporated banks
and trust companies, and reported to
the Treasury Department for the first
four business days of the campaign,
total only $626,606,000.
“In order that the full amount of
six billion dollars may be taken, sub
scriptions must be received at the
average rate of over $316,000,000 for
each of the 19 business days in the
campaign, and yet up to date subscrip
tions are being received at only about
one-half this necessary rate.
Subscribe to Limit.
“While I am confident that the
American people will, in the end, com
plete the enormous task now before
them, I desire to urge everyone not
only to subscribe to the utmost of his
ability, but to subscribe at the earli
est possible moment in order that sub
scription may serve as an inspiration
to others.
“The campaign is handicapped by
two factors, the first being the unfor
tunate spread of influenza throughout
many of the Eastern states, necessi
tating the canceling of public meet
ings, parades and other demonstra
tions for the loan. This condition
makes it necessary tor the people to
come forward with their subscriptions
without waiting to be called upon.
“The second unfavorable factor, and
by far the most serious one, is the I
feeling which is prevalent in some j
communities that the glorious news I
irom tne Dattie fronts reflects a mill
tar:' situation which warrants a slack
ening of our efforts here at home.
Nothing could be further from the
truth, and no more insidious propa
ganda than this could be circulated by i
the enemy. The time is ripe for the
final stroke which shall lead to com
plete victory and enduring peace, but
that stroke cannot be delivered in a
day or a week.
Put on Steam.
"Germany is not yet crushed. She
has millions of strong fighting men
still on the battle lines, and with in
vasion of their own territory facing
them they will fight even more des
perately than heretofore. The strength
of our military efforts must be multi
plied. Our fighting forces must feel
behind them the steadying support of
the American people. The supply of
American arms and ammunition must
not be interrupted or diminished.
“Now is the time for speed—speed
end the maximum of force at the pres
ent time means an earlier return of onr
boys from the bloody battlefields;
means the saving of American lives
and the winning of a glorious and con
clusive victory.”

May Be Military Road
On December 13, the Com
mittee on Military Affairs
has ordered a meeting at
Washington to be attended
b y representatives from
Washington along the route
to El Paso in which they are
to give their reasons why the
road should be taken over by
the government and made a
military road,which will as
sure it of government aid
should it be made.
That the road is likely
to be made a military road
is the fact that the road
will pass through 17 can
tonments, camps, and av
iation fields, and seven other
military establishments will
have access to the road. On
investigation it was found
that over 90 per cent of the
road from Washington to
Little Rock has rural route
boxes on it, which naturally
makes it a post road.
-tt-jLier me pamnnumg com
mission has completed its
tour of inspection, each mem
ber will return to his home
and write a report of his
findings. meeting of the
Board of Directors of the
highway will then be called
and representatives of all
the contesting routes will be
given the privilege of mak
ing amendments to the re
port of the members of the
commission, after which the
route from Memphis to El
Paso will be decided. The
route from Washington to
Memphis has already bee*n
decided.

m L1BEHTT BOND
WILL BE WORTH 1199
IT MATURITY DATE
And they Will Have Caused No Sleep
less Nights at Any
Time.
Few persons purchasing the present
issue of Liberty Loan Bonds realize
that if they continue to hold the bonds
to maturity the total amount of un
compounded interest they will receive
from every $100 bond will be approxi
mately only $15 less than the original
$100 they paid for the bond.
This, however, is the case, as the
bonds bear 4*4 per cent interest and
run to 1938, 20 years. Each year's
interest is $4.25, so that at the end of
20 years the total will be $85 on every
$100 bond. Then when the time of
maturity comes the owner gets back
hi* full $100, thus receiving $135 for
his original $100 payment.
And during the years of the bond’s
me ne nas an investment wnicn will
never keep him awake nights worry
ing. He is as certain as it is possible
to be certain of anything in human af
fairs that on interest dates the ♦nter^
est will be paid, and that ija 1938 the
United States Treasury will have
money ready for paying the principal.
Further, during the period that the
government is his debtor, the bond
holder will enjoy the satisfaction of
knowing he has done a patriotic duty,
in addition to the concrete and tangi
ble satisfaction derived from knowl
edge that he possesses the best invest
ment into which money was ever put.
At every and all times during the loan
term the bond is as good as the day he
bought it or will present it for re
demption in the coin of the country.
Fine for Heirs.
In what better form would it be pos
sible to pass on wealth to children and
grandchildren than in Liberty Bonds.
It is Impossible to conceive of a more
safe and desirable legacy than one of
government bonds. Provision has
been made that any of the present is
sue of bonds which hAve been r»wn<*H
by any person continuously for six
months prior to his death, and which
constitute part of his estate, shall be
receivable by the United States af par
and accrued interest in payment of
any estate or inheritance tax imposed
by the United States under any law,
present or future.
In framing the act authorizing the
loan Congress endeavored to Include
every feature calculated to make the
bonds popular with the great mass of
people, and useful economically in
years to come. On amounts under
$6,000 the bonds are free f:om taxa
tion, so that the small holder is as
sured of getting every penny of his
Interest.
