Severnment Will Receive Older Issue* m Cxchenge for Newer Securities' Yielding Higher R?te of V*' Income. ^ Mere than $900,000 in increased interest will be paid within the n$xt six months to owners oC bonds of the Second Liberty Loan and th* First Liberty Loan Converted, if they present their holdings at once for c^n^ version into 4 1-4 per cent bonds.' V xj This announcement, which of course applies only to those bond holders who have not converted their securities already, has just been made by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Government statistics show that there are outstanding in the United States about $750,000,000 of these bonds which have not been converted, a block of no small size being owned, it is believed, in this state. Owners of bonds of the Second Liberty Loan should have them converted before November 15, 1919. Bonds of the First Liberty Loan Converted ought to be presented for conversion before December 15, * 1919. These securities will be received by local banks in exchange for either coupon .or jegistered 4 1-4 bonds. The new rates of interest will begin on the 'dates given. However, unless the bonds are presented for conversion before Novem" ber 15, and December 15. respective'ly. the 4 1-4 per cen* rate of interest 'will not begin until May 15, 1920, in the case of the Second Liberty Loan fand not until June 15, 1920 on the bonds of the First Liberty Loan C03'rerted. In other words, by waiting > until after November 15 and Decem' 1 C +V??

Bonds of the Second Liberty Loan carried | interest at the rate of 4 per cent. Holders of> the First Liberty Loan were therefore allowed to convert ! their 3 1-2 per cent bonds into 4 per cent securities known as Fir3t Lib; erty Loan Converted. A great many j subscribers took advantage of this < offer. Now those who did so and all | holders of bonds of the Second Loan may again increase their interest re' turn by converting their holdings into - 4 1-2 per cent bonds, this being the interest rate of the Third and Fourth Liberty Loans.

The Vecond book known as "Fifteen LesStois in Thrift" is to be used in the high schools and naturally is more advanced in the treatment of the subject.^' The-books are being handled in this district by WiHiam R.

It is the hiah cost of ioafin? rather tnan tne mgr. cost 01 nvm^ mm. troubles America today, this in the opinion expressed in a recent issued of the "Corn Exchange.*' the monthly magazine of the Corn Exchange Xational Board of Philadelphia. The paper says that the country is producing less per hour, per man. than before the war although the rate of consumption is greater. This being true, prices continue to advance and further advances may be expected until an economic balance is affected between production and consumption. The soiution of the problem as indicated by President Wilson. Governor jtlu 1.4 iiiif, u- c i.c x%.v<-w * ? v. Board, and others. is to increase production and reduce expenditures. Investigation by a large manufacturing plant of Philadelphia, says 'Corn Exchange," recently showed that under identical circumstances the production per man per hour was one half more before the war although wages have been doubled. Another investigation which covered several states and which was reported in the same.' paper showed that while the average wage per man increased 2 40 per. cent the production per man, per hod::; had decreased 62 per cent. '"Fhe man. who loafs on the job," says the paper above named, "no matter what division of society he be- j c l longs to deliberately elects to surrender his claim, to be an honest man. for he is pretending to do something that he knows he Is not doing. This lowering of the moral standard of the people o: the nation men- ; aces the stability of the state." The paper concludes: "Let us be ! honest with ourselves by recognising' the high duty of working at maximum I speed at whatever task circumstances bring to us. The loafer is father of j the liar, and the liar is father of the traitor to all that we hold dear in America. It is the worker who has always won. the shirker who has; always lost. :s:z us s:o;j mixing aooiu j the high cos; or living. L-t us pat a stop to the high cos: of loafing." ' ? OXF.

Interest in the j ! t ; Ice campaign for endowment of i ! oOt'.oO for Lenoir College increases' i and enthusiasm grows as reports come j i I i in to Campaign Headquarters. The j ! j | North Carolina congregations are cer- j tainly going- to do their part, and J ! handsomely. There is no fear i.ut j ! that thev will n?>t <-niv raise their ap- i i I portionments. but will do far better. ' i i Encouraging news also comes from the conference in South Carolina and! i i from the conference in Virginia. In < i addition to the good report made by J i the Rev. <>. W. Aderholdt who recentI 1 i ly visited South Carolina, one of the ! | posters writes this morning that lie j j can count on his congregations to j raise their full apportionments. While i i South Carolina is further removed I I from the college, their loyalty is evi- ; l i dent and it is believed they will raise j their full quota in this campaign. From Virginia Mr. George wires j that two congregations with whom*he j had worked Sunday and Monday had4! i completed their canvasses and had j doubled their apportionments. Mr. j George expects to remain in Virginia i the greater part of the week. The j Rev. O. W. Aderholdt is also doing! wood work in Virginia. With the pre-! pa rat ion that had already been made ' by Rev. M. L. Pence of Virginia, and j 'with the active assistance of Rev.! ; Pence throughout the Virginia ('on-1 ference, the campaign office grows in j ' its confidence that Virginia also will { i i go "Over the Top" by a. large percont! age. These reports front Virginia and 'South Carolina are most encouraging for. being further removed front the college, the enthusiasm could not have been expected to be quite so great among them, yet their loyalty and generosity are apparent and campaign workers expect great things from them.
