Liberty bonds urged to farmers amid cotton boom in Kansas
The Journal calls on Union county farmers to buy Liberty bonds as cotton climbs toward 30 cents. It argues bonds offer four percent interest, are non taxable gilt edge securities, and could be purchased in amounts from $100 to $1,000 with patriotic duty and strong financial return. The piece cites New York Times and Topeka Capital on farmer participation and urges investors to support the second Liberty Loan to fund wartime expenses.
