SECOND LIBERTY LOAN SHOULD BE GREATLY OVERSUBSCRIBED

BY A. C. I1AB1ZE. Manager IaTeatmek.it eTrs, Chicago.

The first Liberty Loan was oversubscr'bed largely through patriotism. The i second Liberty Loaji should be oversubscribed ten tines because no higher grade. Bounder, safer, better investment can or -dll be ever presented. Compared to a rsal estate mortgage, the document with which the average individual is moi't familiar, it outclasses it as the blooded stock outclasses the common. Subscription to a 4 per cent govern-! rncnt bond cf the standing of the United Slates Is a privilege which wage earners have never enjeyed In the past; it is an opportunity unique in the history of this country. That you may understand let me first tell you what a bond is: A bond is a fractional part of a mortgage. An cntiro issue of bonds whether the issue coriprlses 1,000 or 1.000,000 bonds represents the mortgage and that mortgage Is secured by collateral property frequently far In excess of the amount represented by the bond issue. But the bond riortgage applies equally to each separate bond, whether that bond be for J10) or for $10,000. Let mo see if I can meke this a little plainer. The average mortgage taken by the individual on his property usually represents approximately 60 per cent of the entire value of the property-; that is, on a piece of real property worth $10,000, the usual amount of mortgage taken would bo $3,000; that is $5,000 would be the amount loaned on that property. Whe i a bond Issue is financed, however, the collateral property given to secure the ultimate payment of the bond issue lit maturiny is not Infrequently three, four, five times as much as the. amount of the bond issue. Xow, then where don a government bond issue stand relative to ultimate repayment at maturity. First mortgage bond Issues rank higher according to the credit, of the principals bringing out the issue; also according to the amount of collateral property hypothecated that is put up to inuure. payment. This corporation bonds are good; municipal bonds bonds o:! cities and towns are considered a little better; bonds of state rank still higher, th government bonds rank highest. Why? Because if a limited number of people In a community pledge themeach woman who signs or has signed a card a "conservation outfit" consisting of a membership card to put in the window, a horaa card to hang in the kitchen and a 4-page book "Ten Lessons on Food Conservation," which contains some good recipes which any woman will be glad to get. One of these membership carls hangs in the front win low of the White House at Washington, showing to the world that the first la3y of the United States !s doing her part to conserve the food, similar cards are displayed in the homes of all the cabinet officers. A great many are asking "What are the men doing to save?" It goes without saying that the men eat what the women prepare for them and if the women conservo the food it necessarily follows that the men apj doing their part along that line. If you still have anything left to can. dry, pickle or preserve, attend to it at once as that is a good way to show your patriotism, and the food administrator assures us that food canned for homo consumption will not be taken by; the government as some are led to be ! icve. In France, England and Germany the -.eoplo are not onjy to'.d what they can i have ti eat but h.i'.v inueh they can eat and It Is the pur; o- - of this campaign to conserve the loo " stuffs that no such , action will be necessary in the United States, but if the war keeps up and we j do not willing! do our part, we may. reach the point, as they have in the j .arring countries, where we will have' to stand In line to get a few ounces I cf food for the diy's allowance. We can J hardly imagine Buch a condition in our grand old United States find with the) many brave men going forth to fight our j battles and the women all pulling together to furnish th yrn with the necessary food and clothing, the hope is that the war will be won before any such drastic meiusurcs are necessary. j In a letter Mr. Hoover says: "The enrollment in this campa-Nji is the yard stick by which the patriotism of each state can be accurately measured. On Oct. 28. may the word go out to the million brave boys that every home in your great state stands pledged to tho vital cause of food conservation. May we count on you." DISPLA3WEEK. This is National Window Display week. This lnformat'on will account for the exceptionally well-decorated store windows over the city. Hammond .merchants made the plan a big success h re. The windows are elaborately fitted with nationally advertised oods. This is not a ;ocal enterprise, but a national moverc.ent. All over the country stores cf any size have decorated their windows with extra care this week. All lines of goods are exhibited. MANY ATTEND SHOW. The E. C. MInas company Pure Food show is a big success. Hundreds of ladies have visited the grocery department every day to sample the delicacies, foods and Jellies at the different booths. So tager were the manufacturers to be represented at this show that they s?nt twelve expert lady detnonstrators here for the week. Their talks on food products create vnusua! interest among the ladies. Mr. Parker, manager of the grocery department, is more than pleased with the success of the show. A GREAT JPICTURE. The DeLuxe theater management announced today completion of Installing a new pipe organ of a later and better model than the old one. It will be used for the first time today. The theater was packed today when the Jules Verne "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" picture was shown. It is the most sensational and educational picture ever shown here, it is said. DOCTORS MEET. The Lake County Medical society met at St. Margaret's hospital last night. The sisters of the institution received the physicians with an elaborate banquet. Doctors from Gary. F.ast Chicago. Crown Point and all Lake County cities attended. Dr. Shanklln gave a paper on the 1'fe of Pasteur, the man who discovered the cure for hydrophobia.

selves to make good their obligations, when a similar pledge comes from an entire nation that pledge is so much superior that the chances of possible failure to meet the obligation is reduced to practically zero.. The second Liberty Loan is such a governmental obligation; it is the obligation of the United States, of the nation, of all the people, pledging itself, and themselves through their chosen representatives at Washington, President Wilson and Congress itself, to pay that obligation as per its terms and on the dates fixed. To you, therefore, citizen of th nation, farmer, shop keeper, wage earner, this pledge means much. It means that in your individual capacity you have in a measure small though it may be agreed that in the future you would meet tho obligation, you would Bea to It that that obligation would be fulfilled. It means that as you pay your honest debts as you go along, so will the United States pay its debt, with your help and the help of millions of others this bond debt when the time to pay comes. And your neighbor, your friend, your business , associate, your co-worker, all have assumed the same obligation, throughout the forty-eight states, millions of them, and as they pay their Just debts, and as yo'u pay your debts, so LTncle Sam will pay this debt. I propose to go. one step further. I am going to tell you that if this bond is not worth 100 cents on the dollar and more then your money In the bank, or In your pocket; your home, or your farm, or your job. or your future existence is not worth a red copper. For this country Itself, as we know It, this United States of America, would bo wiped out. Consider the entire wealth of tho country is put up as collateral for this loan. That's a great deal more than tho the collateral back of any greenback you carry, because the money you carry is backed t p only partially; by only so much credit as this country enjoys. That's all and no more. Liberty Loan bonds safe? Why, if they are not the safest thing on earth, then your job, your business, your rarra, aye, your very life is unsafe. Liberty Bonds will survive when all else goes. In investing in them you are therefore investing not only in the safest security ever Issued, you are investing your money at a rate of interest far better than any other investment would bring. A farm mortgage returns from 5 to 6'4 per cent. A corporation bond returns say 5 to 7 per cent. The Liberty Bond w ill return to you 4 per cent. This 4 per cent, is better than the 64 per cent mortgage or the 7 per cent corporation bond. You ask why. Mortgage and corporation bonds are subject to taxes Income, war. etc. These taxes absorb near IVi per cent of the annual Interest rate, leaving a net behind- not to exceed 4 to 5 per cent. In the case of the Liberty Loan there is no tax, unless we consider the surtax, which cannot under any circumstances reach a small Investor, because his income is not reached by the surtax. The 4 per cent therefore is net. Moreover the chance of depreciation in the case of corporation bonds or mortgages is about 50-50. That is they will fluctuate downward In times of business stress and are liable to lose several points in value. Xot so with the government bonds. The fluctuation of such securities is so small as to be insignificant. Or tho other hand the chances of added value is so great that the probabilities of their selling higher, when normal days return, amount practically to a certainty. Such has been the experience in all the yars of the existence of this government and It is absolutely certain that rueh will be the case again. The Liberty Bond may sell as hi.eh as 104 or 105 in the next half doze.n years. This difference between 100. what you are asked to pay for the bonds now. and that rrice will be your profit plus the 4 per cent interest. Where then can you make a better investment? What security can you purchase that will give you as high a yield with such security behind? I will tell you unhesitatingly that no such other security exists or has ever existed, Buy a Liberty Bond then. Go into debt with your bank if need be. It will force you

Why is Thb Times a subscriber to the United Press. This has been a Question that the paper has answered often w4ih the reasons in the past five years. (By Vnited Press.) As tho German minis-ltr in Mexico City remarked to tha United Press correspondent, this is goii.g to bo "damn uninteresting" lor tho opposition. But as fast as new developniiints unfold in tho world war, the Liated Presa in no consistently delivering beats and scours, that in spite of our modesty, we have to mention a few of them. The first American casualty list for Europe came "By United Press." Phil timms, accredited to the British Armies, scored a complete si oop ,cn the details of the German air raid on the American hospitals, and United Press papers published the names of the four men kilted three days before the Associated Press had them from a statement given out in Washington. Simms went to the scene of the bombardment, tiled his story from there, and made a complete clean-up. The same day United P.-ess papers were publishing Simms' story, the A. P. delivered its clients a story under a Cambridge, Miss., date stating that a cable received reading "AH well" was interpreted "as giving assurance that the men reported as killed or wounded" were not members of the Harvard unit. Unfortunately they were. A. P. Sunday morning papers such as the Xew "i'ork Times, World and Sun reprinted Simms' story with credit to the U. P. On Sept. 21 the U. P. had a complete clean-up out of Washington on the announcement revealing former Ambassador Von Betnstorff as an arch-plotter In this country while the) United States was still at peace with Germany, and disclosing his request to Berlin for $50,000 to influence Congress. The A. P. was beaten more than nine minutes on the flash; the Hearst service was simply left at the post. With the usual U. P. speed, the Washington bureau was cracking out a complete story while the A. P. whs getting out a brief, incomplete bulletin. The main story was followed out or" Washington by a follow from Congress, carrying statements from various congressional leaders that gave U. P. papers a clean sweep over their oppositions. After Pope Benedict issued his peace appeal there was speculation everywhere as to the Interprftation that

should be made of certain parts of hit message. When the Vatican amplified the appeal, it was "By United Press" In the form of a special statement from the papal secretary of state to John Item -ley. the U. I', correspondent in Rome. The first news that the Kornilolf revolt had collapsed in Russia came "By United Press." William G. Shepherd, in FetrogtaU. had a beat of several hours, and an exclusive interview with Premier Kerensky to boot when Kerensky told bi:i General Korniloff was ready to surrender. But that was only one of Sherherd's beats during the days in which the ate of Russia hung in the balance. Ho had nn exclusive interview with Foreign Minister Tercshenko find an exclusive Interview with tho commander of the woman's "Battalion of Death." Prior to this Shepherd sent the first detailed story of how these women fought at the front, after interviewing several of them. When the last "push" of the British began on the western front. Simms led day after day with graphic descriptive stories of the fighting, and of the progress of the allied troops. From the French front, the dispatches of Henry Wood have told of the flrhting there well ahead of the opposition. Exclusive Interviews such as those with Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of tho exchecucT, beats on such announcements as that of Lord Robert Cecil indicating that President Wilson's reply to the rope would stand as England's answer, have come from London, with equally good action from Paris and other foreign bureaus.. On July 31, Ralph Turner, in Tokyo, put over a clean scoop on the attempt that was made to wreck the train on which Elihu Root and other members of the American Mission to Russia were returning home. From Washington cracking fast, action Is coming in the covering of American angles of the world war. Under the direction of Robert J.
