at their hall at 9.45 where a short
service was held. They then went to
the Methodist Episcopal church where

of the church. Mr.. Arters took for
his text the sixth chapter and the Sec
ond verse of Paul's Epistles to the
Galatians, Bear ye one another's
burdens and so fulfil the law of
Christ" Mr.. Arters discussed at
some length the various burdens which
mankind has to bear, declaring that
some people carried their burdens in
the head, and these people were the
sensitive people, the ones who always
thought they were being Disseminated
against: others carried their burdens
around their hearts and these people
were the ones who saw no good in the
world; the third class tied their bur-
dens to their feet and thi, class made
up the criminals and what IL called
the underworld or the other half Of So
ciety. He declared 1t was the duty Of

LIBERTY BONDS CAN
Be SECURED ONLY
A FEW DAYS LONGER

The Waterville Liberty Loan Com
mittee is sending out a large number Of
circulars 10 be followed by solicitors in
automobiles. The circular follows:
Liberty Bonds-What are they? What
are they for? How to secure them.
How to pay for them.
The United States government has
offered the sale of two billion dollars
worth Of bonds which are backed up by
every dollars worth of property owned
by the government and the citizens Of
the United States. They bear interest
at ~ per cent. They run for 80 years
but may be redeemed in Is for gold.
Principal and interest are free from all
taxes except inheritance tax, in case
of death.
If. during the course Of the war, the
government has to pay higher in
terest rate on it's bonds to be issued
in the future. these bonds may be ex-
changed without expense for those Of
higher rate, making this the most at
tractive investment in the world today.
The proceeds Of the sale of these
bc nds all go to pay for the cost of the
war in which we are now engaged and
which is war for the defense of the
L berty we love SO well and which has
cost our ancestors SO much in the past.
No individual or bank is making cent
out of their distribution Of these bonds.
All such work is being done freely for
patriotic reasons.
The bond must be subscribed for by
June IA. Any bank in Waterville will
accept your subscription for bond Of
$50, 500, $500 or 1000. They may be
paid for in cash or by weekly INSTALL
mcnts. the $50 bond requiring a deposit
Of 81, and weekly payment Of 81 until
$50 have heen paid. The bond is then
turned over to you and the interest
begins to accrue to you without one
cent extra expense. If you are unable
to continue the payments Of your in
stallments after beginning the banks
will dispose of your bonds for you and
pay you the net proceeds on the same.
Ii you should wish to dispose Of the
bond after you have paid for it. the
bank will sell it for you at any time.
A $50 Liberty Bond is as good as a
$50 gold certificate. With the added
advantage that it pays interest every
history of the United States that the
common people have had an opportu-
nifty to buy this class Of security at
cost. Let us help the war by showing
that the American people are behind
their government in this war against
autocracy and murder.
GEO. K. BOUTELLE,
Chairman Liberty Bond Committee

RED CROSS FUND

Waterville's Red Cross campaign in
Aid of Securing Proposed National
800, 100000 for use of that organiZa-
ton.
Readers of the Journal, through the
Journals Red Cross Service, have been
kept informed of the proposition
brought about by President Wilson's
proclamation designating June 18th to
18th as Red Cross Week, and his ap-
poin,ment of Red Cross War Coun-
Gil, and now it comes Waterville's
turn to aid in the enterprise, follow
ing in this respect Portland, Bangor
and Augusta and other cities which
later Joined the ranks.
President Wilson's statement in an
nouncing the appointment Of the Red
Cross War Council was as follows:
Il have today created within the
Red Cross war council. to which will
be intrusted the duty of responding
to the extraordinary demands which
the present war will make upon the
services of the Red Cross, both in the
field and in civilian relief. The best
way in which to impart the greatest
work which this war will entail will
be to concentrate it in the hands of a
single experienced organization which
has been recognized by law and by
International convention as the public
instrumentality for such purposes.
Indeed, such concentration of ad-
ministrative action in this matter
seems to me absolutely necessary, and
1 hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute with either great
sums or small to the alienation of
the suffering and distress which must
inevitably arise out of this fight for
humanity and democracy, to contrib
ute to the Red Cross. 1t will be one
of the first and most necessary tasks
of the new war council of the Red
Cross to raise sums of money for the
support of the work to be done, and
done upon a great scale. l hope that
the response to their efforts will be
a demonstration of the generosity of
America and the power Of genuine,
practical sympathy among our people
that will command the admiration Of
the whole world"
For the purpose as outlined. a mass
meeting OF Red Cross members and
Fairfield, Oakland, Winslow and Vas
salboro. is to be held at the Water
Vile City Council rooms on Tuesday
evening, June 18th. at 7.45. for the pur-
pose of perfecting arrangements for
conducting the proposed campaign.
Charles w. Crish of Philadelphia,
specially appointed by the National
Red Cross Headquarters to assist in
organizing this work, will be present
to explain the situation.
