Treasury urges conversion of four percent Liberty bonds
The Treasury Department urges four percent Liberty Loan bond holders to convert to four and a quarter percent Third Liberty Loan bonds before the November 9 deadline. Conversion preserves interest gains and avoids end‑of‑period banking burdens. Holders should also exchange coupon bonds for registered ones to prevent loss, theft, or destruction. A Portland Telegram quip about wives ends the note.
