The statement explained the reasons for the bond prices and suggested methods for, I their improvement. Referring to the slump in market J j quotations for Liberty bonds, the "j .statement said: "The price has been j brought down because so many peo! pie are offering tc> sell their bonds.' "If the market is flooded with ! . ' ? ' ' " * j. j tomatoes, tne statement auueu, j "you can buy them cheap, but if ' every one is clamoring for tomatoes, ' and there are few co be had, the | ') price goes up. The same is true of j ' Liberty bonds. Shori sighted people tare dumping them on the market, and wise ones are buying them." i The treasury advised holding on to the bonds bought during the war. and the buying of as many more j at the present low rates as could be afforded, for in the latter case the purchaser will not only receive the J regular interest but make a clear. profit of the difference between \ present prices and the face of the bonds. : i STATE CAMPAIGNSTO OPEN JUNE 18 ; The State Democratic executive i committee was organized early i Thursday morning in Columbia when major matters in the state I i Democratic convention had been' > cleared up.
