IStories about Qamp Greene men selling their hard-earned government bonds at prices much below the value of the certificates are growing more rampant. Professional bond buyers and in some instances certain canteen op erators of the camp are claimed to have purchased the war bonds, valued at $50, for $38. The latest stock quotations places the value of the $50 bonds of tl\e first issue at ' $50.25 and the bonds of the second issue at $48 for a $50 bond, and nearly $48 as the present cash value of a , $50 bond of the third loan issue. There is no reason why a soldier should lose the money he has placed in his liberty bond. He should not sell the hood to begin with, because of pa triotic reasons. He should keep the bond and help that much towards the war’s end. If a solider needs ready money let him borrow cash on, the value of his bond and not sell the certificate. Any bank of Charlotte ’"'ill loan money upon the security of the Liberty bonds The soldier who borrows on his bond has the chance to repurchase the bond after pay day. The man who sells his bond at a reduced value is the loser as well as his government. If a soldier is so hard pressed that he must have the full face value of his Liberty Bond at once let him sell the certificate to a Charlotte bank and hereby receive its full face value, for the bonds are good as gold and are getting better every day. PUSHING WORK. Concrete foundations are being laid at a rapid rate for the two big w'a- ter tanks, which are to stand on the opposite side of the Tuckaseege road from the Y. M. C. A. headquarters.

Leske, that of having music with the meals cer tainly is a good one and all of the boys appreciate it.

ON THEIR WAY The past week has been a happy one for many of the boys, it giving them their first chance to get home since their entrance into the servicu. Among those to go this week were Cpl. Kelley to Mass.; R. Green to the middle west; Foust to Indiana; Mc- Farlane and Hamel to Mass. Along with these went our esteemed cook Thomas Barnes, but to what point we are in complete ignorance. He has so many friends and so many homes that no one knows just where to place him save that it be some where north of the Mason-Dlxon line.
