B.C. -; - ������/te ' Q. What is the Victory Loan of 19J8? A. Just like tlie Victory, Loan of 1917���������a loan of money by the people of Canada to their country... Q. . Why does Canada again need money? , A. To help finance 'an win' the war. This money buys' food, clothing, and .ammunition for our'soldiers���������it goes"to bur farmers, our merchants and. industries���������without it our commerce' would be" paralyzed. Q. Please explain more fully. A. Well, Great Britain buys out- wheat and other grains and foodstuffs, our lumber, our ammunition, and a thousand'other things. And just iiow Great Britain finds it inconvenient to pay us in cash. So Cnnada given her these war" needs on oro.dil., (.hat is, agrees to tcinpor- arily advance tlie cost of theso large purchases in Canada. And' to raise the money Cnnada issues and offers lo you Victory Honds. Tho farmers (he merchants, l,ho manufacturer!-, the workers arc. thereby paid in cash and the wheels of commerce keep rc- volvintr. These wheels would quiek- ly stop if our Canadian people failed to buy Victory Bonds. Q. ' in other words you mean that, we would have depression throughout the country? A. Absolutely. If the loan failed ' factories would close, wages cease and the fanners would be unable to sell the bulk of their produce. Q. Do .Great Britain, France and the United States raise money "the same way Canada does? A. Yes. The peoples of all three Countries have bought billions and billions worth of bonds to finance their obligations* and defeat the Huns. Q. Is this demanding much. of our people? A. No, indeed. Quite the contrary! Canada generously offers you the safest investment in Hie world and pays you 5 1-2 per cent, to shorten the war, to hasten... victory and meanwhile make every Canadian more prosperous. _Q. Do the Canadian people know this and buy Victory' Bonds? A. Yes. Over ��������� ,800,000 people bought the First Victory Bonds, offered in November, 1917. The .success' of the loan was so great that the facilities i'or printing so many bonds were inadequate. That is why there there was a delay in delivering the 'bonds to the buyers. It is hoped this year to have the bonds ready for " delivery almost immediately after the subscription period is over.. What is a Victory Bond Q. .When I lend my money to Canada what do I get in return? A. A nicely engraved document in distinctive paper. It is called a Bond. : It is Canada's promise to pay you your money back at a-certain date and to pay' you interest, and it" you desire it, both principal and interest will be paid in gold. . Q. AVhen will the money be paid back?" - -...,.;. : .��������� A. If. yp.u. buy .a 5-year bond it will be paid on'November 1st,'1923-- if you buy a "i5-year bond it will be paid November 1st, 1933. Q. But'suposing I bought a bond and then found that I needed'money before'those dates? A. You could either sell the bond or borrow money on it. Q. How coulC I sell? A. .Any bank, trust oempany, reliable bond dealer or broker will be glad to sell your bond for you at' any time. ' Be careful, however, through whom you sell. Q. Why the need for care? A. Weil, after the first Victory Loan, some unscrupulous persons posing as brokers or financial agents persuaded people to sell bonds for less than they are worth. If you are not acquainted with a reliable broker or.bond dealer ask the advice ol your banker. Q. Can the bonds be really sold; at any time? ,. A. Yes, over."$50,000,000 worth of tho first Victory Loan have been sold on the market and at times the demand for the bonds has been greater than the supply.. Q. Supposing ,1.did, not want, to part with my 'bonds, but simply wanted to make a loan on it? A. Very easily done, 'for there is no better security anywhere than a Victory Bond. Ask your bank if you desire to borrow money on it. Q. When do I get my interest? A. On May 1st and November 1st of each year���������during the life of the bond. Q. How do I collect it? A. If you buy a "bearer' 'bond there are coupons atached to it. For instance, one coupon on a $100.00 bond will read: "On the first day cf KirMMJ^Mwiuu^Mva: ���������rjr<cnc*.i-3U*wi coupons so that $100.00 May, 1919; the Dominion of Canada will, pay bearer $2.75 at any chartered bank in "Canada." ���������Q. Then, 1 cut that particular coupon off and cash it at any bank? A. ���������' Exactly. Q. And there are two for each year of $2.75 each I get $5.50 a year on each bond? Q. Suposing.I buy a "Registered" Bond, what happens? A. The "registered'.'... bond has your name on it, but has no coupons attached, 'instead,' each six months as the interest falls due, the Treasury Department at.Ottawa will mail you a cheque hi"payment of flic interest. And don't forget -to notify the Treasury Department when you make, a "change in your'addrcss. Q. ' Tf I should sell my bond, how shall I transfer it to the new owner; A. If it is a coupon bond, hand' it lo the dealer, bank'or broker who sells it for. you. Q. Is a registered bond, delivered the same way? A. No. 'Yen 'must fill in' the form'of transfer on Die back of the bond. Your dealer, bank or broker will show you how to do it. Q. 'Does, a inarriod woman subscribe for, a bond in her own name or"her husband's? a differ-- to say, ���������) cation form. . Q. ' ,Ca'n f buy a bond on out instalment plan, that i in periods extending over a -year A. 'Many banks and a great many rmployo-s' will hflp you to do this. Con hull ill em about ii. _Q. If .1 desire lo pay in full' for ti'ici bonds ai the tinif I make m'y subscription, may 1 do.su'.' A. Yes. ..Subscriptions mr.y ho paid in full at ihe time of nppiiea- l-i-n or on the first, day of any month up to April Lsr., 1919. Wiil Victory Bonds Co I'p .\f(er the War? Q. ��������� If 1 pay $ J .000 i'or a Victory 13oud is there any .chance of my lining able to sell -it at a profit? A. -A very good' cluince. Most, financiers believe that Victory 'Bonds will advance after the war. Q. Why do you think so? A. Because the demand for money will not bo so great und urgent as it is now, and interest rates wiil likely be lower. Q. You moan that' a I'rec-I'rom- liK'.ome-Tax 5 1-2 per cent Bond will be more popular Hum over? A. Exactly, and mo.sl likely so popular that, people will lie willing to pay more than $1,000 for a $1,000 i own something Those- bettor* ..t people now nui gold. li- lory A. hide ii ' in it earns Honds w Ho you mean lo way that Vic- Uonds are better than gold?

The same country���������Canada ��������� that puts its promise on the dollar bill puts the same promise on the Victory' Bond. Q. Heaving' patriotic reasons a- side, why should a man buy Victory Heads yielding 5 1-2 per cent, when he can "get 7 per cent, on something; else? A-.

Why Victory .Hosulu are a !i!o.e.si*;vV Q. Are Canadians beginning ';o appreciate Victory Bo.ndH? A. They are decidedly. Many who never saved a dollar before now own Victory Bonds and have created their first: "nest egg." They have learned the pleasure of saving, and, by buying- bonds, not only have, they helped to finish the Avar, but they have helped themselves and their families. The interest has proved.a welcome addition to the .annual income. , Q. You .mean, that Victory Bonds have increased thrift? A. Yes. Thousands bought bonds last year 'them in bills because !3-.;r Cai iled the whole of the Dominion of lacla are fortunate to get such a h:'f:,ii rate.. The people of Great Bri- tf.iu, France.

Iryed, ao'after taking Ki.ook of his position he decided upon a plan that, woitld make him save iff; went to.a friend who was th'1 cii-luor of the '.Kirr-t National R:!!;1" ar-ked if tlie bank would loan $100.00. and iiim let T'30 have the money. "I will do- a saving:-- ol: persona and paid for they had no Sha-Cighnossy, vour bank in "il you f-aid young por,.ii. it. in airt'M'st " The cashier hr.d to scratch his head over this proposition, as it was th-- riM-ri; peculiar ov.te he had ever heard He ask/'d '.for an explanation.

Lord Shaughnessy is very proud of tn.il first hundred dollars he saved and- he still has it. And he tells .this story to inspire us to save. Q. And is-(his (he way to save it these war times? A. No. Instead of making a bank loan which costs you money, buy Victory Bonds on the instalment; plan and pay for them out of yo-.r savings.

I suppose politics and religion do not enter into Victory Bonds? A.������ Decidedly not. The Victory Loan is the solid backing of a united, patriotic people. The ��������� Liberal who ' buys a Victory Bond is not helping politically the Conservatives or Union ists. Neither is the Conservative, helping politically���������his opponent of normal'times. He is helping,his fighting brothers overseas. He is helping Canada, helping the.-Allies, help- ling Civilization to defeat tho Huns��������� , and helping himself! If is your | Country��������� Canada���������that asks you to J buy Victory Bonds. When flic Victory Loan Campaign gets into full I swing in'November, racial and polii- : ical strife will be buried in tlie great j harmonious, enthusiastic effort fo 'secure the hundreds of millions of ! dollars which Canada needs to carry ion the war and finish Ihe war. There will be Victory Loan sermons. One ' voice only will bo heard in the Protestant and Ciitholic churches. Whai is (ho Security P.ehiinl (lie Victory Honds? Q. It has frequently been stated that Victory P.onds are the "Bent Security in the World". Is that true? A. If is true for the reason (hat the bond is backed by the faith and honor of the whole Dominion of Canada and by taxing power of the whole country. No country in the , world is richer in natural resources' than Canada. Q. Has Canada issued bonds' before; and if so, has it ever' failed to 'pay all of its bonds when they became due? A. -Canada has isued bonds before in fact, the Victory Loan,of 19.18 is Canada's Fifth War Loaii���������and has never failed to pay every bond wiiou it became due with all the interest on same. Q. Are Victory Bonds exempt from taxation? A. The hojads aro exempt, both as to principal and interest from all Dominion taxes, including any income tax to be levied by the Parliament- of Canada. Q. Suppose'- Canada offers bo-ids in future which will pay a higher rate of interest than o 1-2 per cent? A. If so. the holder of a Victory Bond will have the right to exchange this bond iui* one one bearing ihe higher rate of interest and running for equal or longer term. Q. What is the amount of Canada's Victory Loan of 19 18? A. The Minister of Finance, ia Ihe official prospectus invites sub-- scriptions for $300,000,000 nominally, and reserves the" "right" to ' ?l!--"c the whole or any part subscribed '.a excess of $300,000,000.

K2SJE HAULINCi AS j^iL^nz 'MVCll Aft KKKKJIiT CARS ^^^^^^^S^^^^^^^z^S^^^S^i^^^r^E^S^SsSS Thousands of individual motor trucks engaged in inter-city hauling are duplicating in time and tonnage the work done by a corresponding number of freight cars. A railroad (rain of !)0 freight, cars will haul no more merchandise that, a caravan of ,90 motor trucks. These startling ��������� statements como from llayinond Heel- chief engineer of (lie highway transport committee and"chief of'lhe i!. P. Goodrich lluliber Company's National louring hure-.m. "Pew person;- realize Ihe tremendous strich's made in highway transportation during the past year,"'said Mr. , l.i'eck. "C-ur statistics show that motor 'true-!;:; are doing the same- work, ton for ton, that, freight furs are doing. An average freight car travels but 2 0 miles a day and a -motor truck will travel 100 miles in that time. The average capacity of a freight car is 25 tons. Although a five-ton truck carries one-fifth the load of the railroad car, it travels five times as fast, thus equalizing their-performances." Three big transportation problems are being solved by the highway transportation centres. The committee has made extensive plans to assist the farmers in hauling crops to market or to a central station, so the farmers will remain on the farm. The committee points out. that one man driving a half ton truck can haul io market more than three times the distance in, a given time. Use of the truck would therefore release eight men' and 10 horses to continue work on the farm. ��������� - Several thousand trucks are now on rural express duty, but to encourage additional operators fo enter this unlimited held return bureaus ' are being established in hundreds of communities. By phoning the bureau 'in his community the farmer may leave word for returning trucks to pick up implements or supplies for him, thus saving him the time and expense of ,a trip_ fo town. Trailers are destined to become a big factor in rural motor haulage. In some rural districts loading platforms have been built by farmers and two or more, trailers are employed. The rural express truck delivers a loaded trailer consigned to the route. A uniform style of trailer, which may be exchanged, and hard-surl'acee.1 roaeUf are necessary ' developments to insure universal success of trailer transportation. Some -200 return leads bureaus have been established in the United States and the system is relieving thousands of freight cars for war duty elsewhere. Return loads have given enormous impetus to intercity hauii.ig by motor trucks, says Mr. Beck. One of the chief reasons for the railroael tie-up of last winter was the congestion and confusion at railroad terminals in the larger cities To remedy this condition the highway transport committee is mapping Ney York and other larga cities into zones. Expressmen and cartage concerns operating in a specified zone must carry full loads to and from the freight siationf--. According, to Mr. Beck fh'j plan will eliminate the co m mo a practice of special trips for small shipments which, will only partially iill the trucks or drays. in This Paper maa*oswc-r^<3^.;BffiK53a ITALY Z.KADS ALLIES J IV HO-VD ISSUES CHICAGO, Saturday, Oct..

This is indicated by a, Treasury report estimating subscriptions of citizens of thirtyeight foreign nationalities at 974 1,437,000, or nearly IS per cent of the $4.170,000,000 total of the third loan. The mi nil ���������-',r ed' bond buyers was estimated ai 7,'if-].000, or 4 1 p.-r cent of subscribers,, and the average subscription a.-iiong- the foreign-sj-eaM- 5105.

An analysis of the figures given is interesting from the standpoint r>f the subscriptions of the foreign-born in this country who came from our Allies' countries.' In this Ital stands first subscribing several times more than the combined subscriptions of ail others from allied countries. There are by United States census figures 2.000,000 Italians in A- merica. They subscribed $52,247.- 000 or $25 per Italian���������men, woman and children.
