TELEPHONE CAEaPAIGN is
PROVING BIG SUCCESS

An endlesg-chain telephone cam
paign, to get women to subscribe to
the Second Liberty Loan, has been in
augurated with successful results by
the Womans Organization, under the
leadership of Mrs. John Holiday,
chairman, in the city OF St. Louis.
1T is the duty Of every woman"
says Mrs. Gus V. r. Mechin. president
Of the St. Louis Womans Council, ito
aid the government in placing the Lib
.erty Bonds. Every woman should buy
at least one bond and sell at least
one Mrs. Mechin has two sons in
the service.
Every woman must do her duty"
declares Mrs. F. I. Kennedy, wife of
Capt. F. T. Kennedy, who now is with
in five miles of the German trenches.
''If she is not trained and equipped
for personal service to her country at
the front, she can at least inspire and
urge her husband, son or brother to do
his duty. Further than this, she can
aid in the financing of the war, to
make 1t possible for her loved ones to
win. If she cannot fight, her money
can"

PURCHASER OF LIBERTY
BOND DOUBlY REWARDED

Purchasers Of Government Bonds of
the second Liberty Loan of 1917 will
derive much comfort from the invest
ment, first, because Of the feeling that
they are helping the government, and
second, because Of the material bene-
fits accruing from the interest paid
every six months on the bonds.
Thrift Is a virtue more honored In
the breach than in the observance In
this country, and the preacher of thrift
is likely to talk to unwilling ears.
For so many years Americans have
been conscious of their extravaganza,
and even somewhat proud of it, that
they have a feeling that it would be
unworthy for them to skimp.
One of the attractive features Of
the Liberty Bonds lis that the pur-
chaser will not have to keep them I'm,
til they become due, but can get his
money back by selling the bonds any
day. But the great comfort that the
purchaser will have, will be derived,
first, from the thought that he has
helped his government in its hour
Of need, and second, that the money
will be working for him days, nights
and holidays. and that every six
months it will prove that fact by a
cash payment.

Putnam?

The spirit which actuated Israel
Putnam more than a century ago Is
what Is needed in America today, ac-
cording to men who are in close touch
with the war conditions and the affairs
of the United States.
Putnam was blowing his none-too-
productive New England field when a
horseman dashed up and told him the
tale OF the British raid on Lexington.
It was seeding time and Putnam's
field demanded immediate care.
Did he falter or hesitate? Did he
procrastinate? No. He left his team
in the field still hitched to the pillow
and hurried away to answer the call
OF his country. He did not stop to con-
slider the cost of leaving Liberty was
at stake and he was off to the rescue
Liberty is at stake again. Your
liberty and the liberty of the rest OF
the civilized world. Every day the
rural mail brings the story with all its
dread warning along the winding
country road to the Israel Putnams of
today
But they are not in the fields. They
are storing their 50 and SO wheat, their
So potatoes and their So corn and their
IS onions They, better than anyone
else, know how well they are respond
ing to the call Of liberty.
But it is time that these men, as
well as their city brothers awake. Do
your bit in placing the second issue
Of Uncle Sans Liberty Bonds. Uncle
Sam is your friend, But he can do
only what you assist him accomplish
ing with all your might. Get busy,
today Be an Israel Putnam in your
community.

Five persons were given terms

ARKANSAS TENANT FARMERS
ITO BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Tenant farmers of Arkansas, who
in previous years have found it diff
ificulG to make both ends meet, are
this year going to be liberal buyers of
Liberty Bonds" said II. A. Morrison,
cashier Of the Bank of Commerce,
Earl, Crittenden County, Arkansas.
A ten-million dollar cotton crop in
his county alone explains why this Is
10 come about. Mr.. Morrison said that
his fellow citizens were showing such
enthusiasm Il the new bond issue that
he came to st. Louis to arrange to
supply them with bonds.
Heretofore" said Mr.. Morrison, the
proceeds of the annual harvest was
not sufficient to maintain the farmers
until the next crop could be harvest
ed, and it was the custom in April to
begin buying food and other necessi-
ties on credit. The result was that in
the fail it usually took about al: the
farmer got for his crop to pay his
debts and get through the winter.
This year it is different The
planters are going TO get from 80 to
As cents a pound for cotton, whereas
before they only got from 6 to 10
cents"
'One fine thing about these bonds
is that the farmer can use them as
legal tender. In case they need money
they will find their war bond invest.
ment readily negotiable"
Crittenden County's allotment is
S81, 600, but Mr.. Morrison is going to
try to dispose of S135, 600 worth there.

HOUR Of SACRIFICE
IS HERE-REDFIELD
CABINET MEMBER DECLARES
EVERY MAN MUST AID IN
BEARING NATIONS LOAD.
MENACE IS STALKING ABROAD
Spirit of Conquest Hss Poisoned the
Very Soul Of German PeoPIe-We
Muet Unite Against ths
Common Foe.

Secretary Redfeld in the strongest
letter he has written since the be-
ginning of the second Liberty Eond
Campaign has sent to the employees
Of the Department OF Commerce a
letter pointing out the absolute me-
cessity for making almost any sacri-
fee in order to purchase Liberty
Bond.
II speak of the loan as calling for
sacrifice. 1t ought to be that. 1t is
In its essence sacred thing laid upon
the altar of your country" Secretary
Redfield says in his note.
st can hardly be the mere lending
TO the government of that which you
have to spare. Your own loyal sup
port, SO generously given to the first
Liberty Loan, may well make it impos-
sible now to make the second subscrip-
tons which are at once available. 1t
is a real sacrifice for which the coun-
trys calls" Mr.. Redfield continues.
He then reminds employees that a
menace has arisen in the world which
threatens all humnity. 1T has poi
soned the very soul of the German
people and made the power which now
possesses them one whose rule is in
consistent with the peace Of the world.
That evil power has shown itself and
its true nature in the deeds which
make the rape of Belgium world hor-
ror.
THE hideous record left behind by
German hands in their retreat in
northern France speaks eloquently of
the nature of the thing we fight. This
evil thing opposes every ideal in which
Americans have been bred. 1t is hos
tile to the spirit of free people; it
seeks to dominate them; 1t would by
force impose its will upon them. 1t
is cruel, ruthless force, and it will
get us if we do not destroy it," the
Secretary's letter continues.
Secretary Redfeld then reminds the
workers that Americans stand today
beside the men of all races and all
faiths in common contest against a
foe that threatens all.
1T is to take part, therefore, in a
great human-wide struggle that you
are called. 1t will require sacrifice.
as | have said The cause Of the
sacrifice is worthy one. and it will
not be made In vain" the Secretary
says in closing his letter, which be-
cause of its touching appeal and gen
uine good sense will be given wide
spread publicity throughout the United
States.

JIM DALE
BY Ellis Parker Butler.

Young Jimmy Dale, across our street,
Is just gawlSy lad.
He grew so fast, the doctors said,
His heart was mighty bad;
They wouldn't let him do much work
Or any hearty play
But, Just the same, they drafted Jim,
And Jim has gone away.
Jim was a sort of great, big kid,
And fooling all the while;
So. when they ordered him to camp.
He went there with smile.
Jim Dale is in the army now,
Lank legs, bum heart and all,
To fight like other drafted men
That got the country's call.
God, yes! Jim's heart may drop him dead
Or he may live to be
Shot all to pieces "over there
What odds to you or nae?
BY thunderl it's these odds to you'll
II kids like Jim can go,
With smiles, TO fight our wars for us
We can put UP the dough.
If we can buy a bond or two
And DON'T. while Jim. poor cuss.
Goes smiling off to death or wounds
Then hell's too good for us.

Whatever we may think, say
or do, this great war will not
leave us where it found us.
Perhaps one of the greatest
changes to be effected will be
made in the exchange of pro-
ducts. It has been realized for
some time that the systems
mainly in vogue are wasteful
and expensive in the extreme
and already this Government had
begun cooperative buying and
selling between producer and
consumer. This plan is destined
to be given a thorough try-out
and the more it is opposed and
the more these are exploited the
sooner tie middle man will be
knocked out entirely. In other
words, the larger the profits and
the more persistent the middle
man the sooner will there be no
middle man. This Government
is thoroughly alive to the situa-
lion and ther2 is no blocking its
course and any serious attempt
TO do so will only force the gov
ernment to more socialistic mea-
sures than anything yet at
tempted.
