Baby Bonds Now Ready For Distribution Over Counters of City Banks
New Issue Of Small Denomination Designed For Small Investor
"Baby" war bonds have arrived in Lawrence and will be put on sale soon by the different banks, the postoffice, and probably the main business houses. Watkins National Bank planned to start its sale Thursday morning, but as far as could be learned the postoffice has not yet received its supply from the government. In case they can not get these certificates some assistance may be given by the Treasury by lending enough certificates to take care of the demand until the supply reaches here. The bond scheme was planned by W. G. McAdo, secretary of the Treasury upon somewhat the same plans as those of the other countries of Europe. It has taken Secretary McAdo considerable time to figure out a way to keep these bonds from going out to the Department stores already are announcing that these bonds will be accepted in cash as payments on
Stock companies real estate firms say they will accept Liberty Bonds at par for payment on a particular stock or a city lot. All this tends to make the bonds serve as currency and the difficulty is even more obvious. However, as the officials want every one in the country to become a partner in the war enterprise they will continue the offer.
The bonds are within reach of the student as they cost $4.12 and within five years, or after 1923, may be recalled for the bond discounted before then and the holder of the bond can get back his money, plus three and one half per cent interest. The bond at its maximum should therefore draw interest at four per cent.
If the student does not have the $4.12 he can buy a twenty-five cent war savings stamp. With the first stamp bought a little book is furnished and this may be used for the remaining stamps.
