Paying For the Bonds.

Striking testimony to the prosperity and wealth of the country is presented in the fact that although only 20 per cent has thus far become due on the Liberty 4 per cent, loan, and the final payment of 40 per cent, will not be required until January 15, more than 80 per cent, of the whole $1,163,000,000 allotted to the reserve district has already been paid.

The present backing and filling of the Liberty bonds of both issues in the market is incident to placing of such a large amount of securities and will be speedily adjusted as the bonds find a final resting place in the hands of permanent holders. On every moderate recession they offer a great opportunity to obtain profitable investment in the safest securities on earth. Boston Transcript.
