(9d. FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1918 A National Trademark is suggested, and wisely, that It there be evolved a national trade- mark with which to distinguish American made materials in the foreign trade which will follow the war. It is urged that the design be worked out by experts, that may be the proper artistry and the proper national spirit displayed. One of the few certain events of post war days will be the striving of all the nations to secure that trade which, before the war closed so large a part of the world's markets, belonged to Germany. Financial drain to pay the cost of the war will stimulate every nation to the effort to extend its trade facilities and all industry to provide materials accept- able in the world's market. Since the closing of the German output to American dealers we have been developing along lines of our own, providing those things at first | we were at a loss to produce. Ex- perimentation and constant putting have succeeded in "Made in U. S.

When that war is over we shall face a new need to extend our commerce. We shall have our mil- lions of men returning to industry already filled with trained women, and, unless there is to be a most un- happy economic condition, we shall have to increase our industrial activ- ity to care for all. There has been the charge, some- times, unhappily, merited, that the application of a national trademark for American made goods is made unnecessary by the inferior quality of the workmanship. America can- not afferd to let this stand for the distinguishing mark of the American product when the time comes for the which will follow the war.

LOAN BOND VALUES ARE EXPLAINED HERE Bonds of the First and Second Li- berty loans may now and until November 9, 1918, be converted into 4% per cent bonds. Bonds delivered upon conversion will have the same maturity as the bonds surrendered. In all other respects they will he identical with the bonds of the Third Liberty loan. This conversion may be effected through the sub- scriber's bank. Holders of 4 per cent bonds of th First Liberty loan converted, pre- where | | there | applica- | the |! ARDEN SHORE NEEDS FUNDS AND CLOTHES Five Hundred Mothers and Children of Chicago Tenements Now En- joying Sunshine at Lake Bluff A month ago the Arden Shore board and its friends held their first | picnic-lunch meeting at the camp. | | The purpose of this meeting was to | | plan the maintenance of the camp during the coming months. | It was the beginning of and tor € sea- 1 th pale and 1 son there tired faces : children were many the had just come out.

In winter the sick fathers come and are made well. { There are five hundred mothers and children there now and it takes money to feed and care for them. Arden Shore needs money and these times it is hard to get it. If we close up Arden Shore there will be many boys and girls who will die, or grow up sick and weak, un- able to do the duties required of them. The girls will not be strong enough to do the work which the lack of men has made it necessary they should do and the boys will not make strong enough men to join the army or navy. So those of you who have a few dollars to spare, won't you send them to Arden Shore and help with the good work? The next, and last, of the picnic lunch meetings will be held at the camp on Wednesday, August 12, at 12:30 o'clock. It is hoped there will be a large attendance. in senting them for conversion on or before November 9, 1918, will receive in exchange, without an adjustment of interest, 414 per cent Gold bonds of 1932-47 bearing interest at the increased rate from June 15, 1918. Holders of 4 per cent bonds of the "Second Liberty loan, presenting them for conversion on or before November 9, 1918, will receive in ex- change, without an adjustment of interest, 414 per cent Gold bonds of 1927-42 bearing interest at the in- creased rate from May 15, 1918. Holders of Coupon bonds may re- ceive at their option either Coupon bonds or Registered bonds: but Re- gistered bonds only will be delivered upon conversion of Registered honds, and such bonds will be registered on- ly in the same name as the bonds surrendered for conversion. When Registered honds are presented for conversion, they should be assigned to "The Secretary of the Treasury for Conversion", on the form appearing on the backs of registered bonds. Such assignments, however, need not be witnessed. All unmatured coupons must be attached to the bonds presented for conversion, and all matured coupons must be detached. Holders of 3% per cent bonds of the First Liberty loan, presenting them for conversion on or before November 9, 1918, will receive in ex- change 44 per cent Gold bonds of 1932-47, bearing interest at the in- creased rate from June 15, 1918, but such holders must pay the United States Government accrued interest at the rate of 34 per cent of 1 per cent per annum from june 15, 1918 to the date of conversion.
