BOY scoinvro SELL LIBERTY BONDS [Continued From First l'agc.] Boy Scout Messenger Will Present Nation's Appeal on June 11 To Mr. Householder: A Boy Scout will deliver a Lib em - Loan appeal at your home on June 11, 12 or 13. It is his part in a nation-wide campaign ar ranged by the Boy Scouts of Amer ica at the request of President Wilson. The folder will explain how to apply for a Liberty bond on an ap plication attached. The Scout will call for your an swer the day after he delivers the message—not later than June 14. Read President Wilson's letter, and the rest of the folder. Apply for as many bonds as you can pay for—in one payment or in stalments. Pay no money to the Scout. He delivers you application to the bank, trust company or storo which you name in your applica tion—you pay your money there. The Scout is giving his holiday to our country. He receives no compensation, but the Scout who obtains bond subscriptions from ten different homes will receive a War Service emblem. Will you help to make his sacri fice effective by making this safe, profitable investment? < > ed to increase this man's subscrip tion but without success. The Scout was prepared. He had read Liberty bond literature. He was full of enthusiasm. He was patriotic. The man who had resisted the persua sion of men of business listened with interest to the arguments of the Sccut. He was amazed that a boy in liis teens could know so much about the principles of investment and the reasons for the Liberty bond issue. He took the application blank, filled It in and wrote a check for $25,000. The Scout took it to headquarters and then to the subscriber's bank. Here In What the Si-out Knvtv Every man, woman and child who enjoys the blessings of this Common wealth should seriously realize that lie is a unit of the whole. If we fail in this war we will have to pay in demnity which will virtually make us the slaves of Germany for genera tions. It is the duty of every citizen to promptly contribute to the fullest possible extent. C'ntib or InNtalmentM Liberty bonds may be paid for cash down or instalments as follows: 2 per cent on application; 18 per cent on June 28; 20 per cent on July 30; 30 per cent or. August 15; 30 per cent on August 30. Payments may be made at any bank, trust company or other Liberty bond agency which tb snb icriber may choose. Pay Big Interest Liberty bonds pay 3M per cent Interest, which Is more than any other United-States bond. They are subject to no tax whatever except when they become an inheritance through the death of the owner. Other bonds are subject to taxes amounting to per cent. Will Increase In Value Liberty bonds will increase in value, bond experts say. It is expected that a hundred-dollar bond can be sold for $lO6 within the next few years, and probably for as much as $lO9. If the Government issues other bonds paying a higher rate of Interest, the Liberty bonds may be exchanged for them. This makes them more valuable. The last war bonds issued by the United States were to finance the Spanish-American War in 1898. These paid only 3 per cent. During the first year Ih'.y sold for 6V4 per cent above the -purchase price, and later they •old at an increase of 11H per cent.
