MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1919
THRIFT AND LOW PRICES
i_» _
The United States government paid
out more than $6,000,000 on Septem
ber 15 in semi-annual interest to
holders of Third Liberty loan bonds
in the Twelfth Federal Reserve dis
trict. This interest payment, added
to the two previous interest install
ments paid on Third loan bonds by
the government, gives a total of near
ly $18,000,000 earned since May, 1918,
by the $287,975,000 invested by 1,402,
684 purchasers of bonds of the Third
loan in this Federal Reserve district.
“Be sure and clip your coupons
and cash them.” is the advice broad
casted to holders of the Third loan
bonds by Robert E. Smith, director
of the war loan organization of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve district.
"Coupons uncashed are idle money. It.
is no trouble to cash your coupons.
Just clip the September 15 coupon
off and present it at any bank and you
will get your money. It is no- more
trouble than getting change for a
bill.”
If all the bondholders in America
cash their coupons there will be in
circulation nearly $85,000,000 more
money than was in circulation pre
viously. That is approximately the
total amount ot interest to be paid
out on the Third loan.
“Here is a chance for the people
to hit high prices a hard blow,” said
Director Smith. “Every man,
woman and child who owns a Third
loan bond should cash the coupon
and immediately buy thrift or war
savings stamps or treasury savings
certificates, which bear more interest
than the bonds. Investment of the
Third loan bond interest at the bank
window immediately upon cashing
the coupons will keep that $85,000,
000 out of circulation and thus help
keep prices down.
“I cannot urge too strongly the wis
dom of letting the government keep
this interest money and, not only that,
but continued buying of war savings
stamps out of every pay envelope. If
everyone in the United States would
set aside something each week for
war savings stamps, earning them 4
per cent interest compounded every
three months, it would be a very short
time until there would be a no
t’'cable drop in prices.”
TROUBLE FOR FRANCE
IF RUMOR BE TRUE
COBLENZ, Sept. 29 (by Associated
Press).—It is rumored that an inde
pendent republic has been declared m
Alsace.
AIRPLANES ARE CHEAP
PARIS, Aug. 20 (by mail).—The
French army is at a loss to know
what to do with its vast stock of air
<-n?L Auction sales of aeroplanes
organized by the government are
viewed with absolute indifference by
the general public. At the last sale
a scout-plane fitted with a 350-horse
power motor found no purchaser even
at $40.
LARGE FRENCH FAMILIES
TO RECEIVE HELP
PARIS, Aug. 28 (by mail).—Ninety
French families with nine children
living will each year hereafter re
ceive donations amounting to 25,000
francs each. The French academy
has just received a donation for the
foundation of this work from M. and
Mme. Cognacq. The amount of the
capital is not mentioned, but to pro
duce donations of 25,000 francs annu
ally it would at the present interest
rates be at least 40,000,000 francs.
REPORT NOT VERIFIED
The Valdez Miner discredits the re
port to the effect that Company B of
the Twenty-first infantry is coming to
Alaska from Spokane, as announced
in a recent dispatch. Company F al
ready is at Fort Liscum, says the Val
dez newspaper, and it is not believed
there that other men will be sent.
