The Liberty Loan.

MAKE IT A BUOOES3. FACILITIES TO COUNTRY RESIDENTS. Small subscriptions to the War Loan are gradually mounting up, having now reached £250,000 (says last Friday's Evening Post), This, together with the amount subscribed by the Auckland Savings Bank, makes a known amount of half-a- million, No returns have yet been received from banks or brokers. With respect to 5 per cent Post Office Bonds, people who already pay inoome tax may take them up, but will have to pay income tax upon revenue derived from them. No one individual may hold more than £SOO of these bonds, A farmer offers land to the Govern* ment for settlement of returned soldiers and is willing to take payment therefor in War Loan Bonds. Sir Joseph Ward has made a special appeal to potential subscribers living in remote districts : To those who live in the outlying dis» tricts afar from towns, this letter is more particularly addressed. If you are able to help by the purchase of War Loan Bonds or Certificates in the common task of overcoming our powerful enemy, kindly "send in an attached form, acoompanied by your cheque, banknotes, or other form of remittance. The smallest purchase will help, and give you a personal interest in the great War Loan. Your letter, whioh should be registered, will be accepted free of postage and registration fee. You are thus enabled to do your share without the necessity of going further than your local post office, The need is urgent, and prompt action required. Will you help to make the Loan a great success, and show to our kinsmen, our Alheß, and our enemies that New Zealand can not only provide soldiers of the highest quality, but can also find them in food, clothing, and the aU»important munitions ? I am relying upon all to help accord-* ing to thoir ability, and am sure my request will not be in vain.—Yours faithfully, J. G. Ward, Minister of Finance, 15th August, 1917.
