Here are 2 Ways They Successfully Do It: 1st Way- Say you have $500.00 in cash with which to buy feed. Buy, instead, a $500.00 Victory Bond, and pay cash for it. You can borrow at any time over the next six months against the bond at 3%, after that at 4%. Suppose you need $400.00 for feed from December 1st until May 1st, and then can pay off your loan and can finance until November 1 st again. Here is how you come out: You receive Interest on your $500.00 bond for one year at 3% $15.00 2nd Way- You pay Interest on your $400.00 loan for 5 months at 3% ., Net profit in interest 6.25 58.75 VICTORY IT N In other words, you can make a profit on your cattle, and on your bond, too. This is NOT BLACK MAGIC. It is SMART BUSINESS. Buy on the special Farm Letter arrangement. Suppose you have tied up your money in feed but could buy a $500 bond when you sell your cattle next Spring, but can only invest $50.00 now. Instead of buying a "token" $50.00 bond, use the cash to reserve a $500.00 bond for you, to be paid for when your cattle are sold. Your Victory Loan salesman will take your application for the larger amount, and ask you to sign a letter to your banker, in- structing him to reserve a bond for you until your cash comes in again... He charges interest at the same rate as the bond earns: namely, 3%. You pay out for only a few months, but your bond pays you the year round. Under- stand even while your bond is not paid up yet, it still earns interest for you at the same rate your bank charges.

Here's one more way in which youngsters can show their loyalty to the cause for which their fathers and big brothers are fighting. And let'i he sure that we set them a good example by using the telephone only for necessary calls . . . and by keeping them brief. War calls must come first.
