LIBERTY BONDS
ALWAYS GOOD
INVESTMENT
Liberty bonds will command a pre
mium on the market within the next
two years, in the opinion of John Skel
ton Williams, comptroller of the cur
rency. In a recent interview Mr. Will
iams declared that holders of Liberty
bonds had no reason to worry over
present market conditions. He said the
low quotations offered investors an ex
traordinary opportunity to obtain at
very attractive figures the best secur
ity in the world. Discussing the sub
ject he said:
"I see no reason why anybody should
worry about the market price of Lib
erty bonds,” said Mr. Williams. “The
bonds constitute as good an invest
ment as there is The government
did not promise to* pay on demand. It
promised to pay at maturity, and it
will keep its word. If anybody thinks
he can use his money in any other
way to better advantage, he must ex
pect to take it at a loss at the pres
ent time.
“I believe that within two years or
less the bonds will be up to par, and
will command a premium.
“The people of this country need
have no doubt of the ability of this na
tion now and always to meet in full
every obligation and commitment.
“The income of the people of the
United States in excess of ordinary
living expenses,” said Mr. Williams,
“probably amounts at this time to
more than $10,000,000,000 per annum,
and less than one-fifth of this esti
mated surplus investable income
would be sufficient to absorb in twelve
months all investments still held by
national banks in Liberty bonds.
“The Liberty bonds have already
been widely distributed to investors
and invested. On November 17, 1919,
the amount of Liberty bonds owned
by all national banks amounted to only
$829,000,000, which was less than 4
per cent of the total resources of the
national banks at that time.”

SUMMER COMING
SLOWLY, MAYBE,
BUT SURELY
When the frost is off the sidewalk
And the board’s in sight again,
Then will come an open season
Relished by the best of men;
Sales of rubbers will be smaller,
Low-cut shoes of yellow hue
Will make short men look taller,
As they always used to do.
—Riley.
Oh, boy! Help the good work along
by cleaning down to the naked boards
on your sidewalk, for the appearance
of the boards wrhere they are now seen
in spots around Our Town is a pretty
and attractive sight.
Think of it! Only a week or two
when the snow will be lost to sight
and memory mostly dear! Almost be
fore you know it the summer will be
really here, the gardens be planted,
the greenhouses blossoming, and the
coming of.the mosquito indicated early
and late.
And it can’t come too soon. While
it has been a beautiful winter, it has
been a long one, and the snow and
ice make their presence felt in the
; bones of pioneers who are not so young
as they used to be, while colds and
threatened grippe, withr no medicine
worth while in sight, are prevalent—
too much so. The kiddies are trying
to make their bicycles work to help
summer into town, but they are up
against it in many ways along those
lines, and it is hard for them to wait.
Every morning the housewife says:
“My! I must get at my window
boxes,” and every evening it is so
cold that the window-box pursuit is
abandoned until the dawn of a warmer
day.
But summer is coming—it always
has come and it always will come, and
the sooner it comes this summer the
i better everybody will be pleased.—
