There is a final limit. And bonds

the taxation we are proposing is the
smallest amount that is economically
safe.
There's no question about the grav-

this bloody war. But we do know
that autocracy and freedom cannot
both exist on this globe.
You, America. are facing the posi-
bilties that Belgium and Servia have
undergone. For if this bloody auto
crat should conquer, and take posses
sion of the English and French feet.
and add them to his own great fleet
and to his feet OF murderous sub
seas, you are in grave danger of a
treatment similar to that Of the coun-
tries which have been overrun.
This government faces, ii defeated,
an indemnity fifty times. one hundred
times, as great as we will have to pay
to win this war.
"The first defense OF war is money.
And for that reason your government
has issued $5,000,000,000 worth OF
Liberty bonds which must be sub
scribed for by the people of this
country. These bonds will not be
sold unless every man and women in
your country takes part. Every one
must buy at least one bond-and as
many more as possible. The contin-
uation of your country's national ex-
istence depends upon the success Of
the sale of these bonds.
"And we are asking that 81 100000
600 be provided by taxation. We be-
lieve $1O,000,000,000 is the total we
will have to raise before this war is
over. You, as producers, are just as
much interested as anybody in the
country.
Great Purchasing Campaign.
DO you know what it means to you
to have $l0,000,000,000 spent in this
country in one year? 1t means the
greatest purchasing campaign this
world ever saw; it means the greatest
demand for what you people of the
great trans Missouri country produce
that you ever dreamed of. 1t means
that your market is secure and that
the man to whom you are selling has
the money with which to pay for
what he buys.
Mortgage on America.
1--WE are offering you people who
stay at home a mortgage on the en-.
tire country-a mortgage on the SOU
of America. We are paying you 81
per cent interest on your loan. Ant
then we turn around and take thai
money and equip the boys whom we
are sending to the battlefield for you
Are we going to be more tender
with our dollars than with your boys!
THE only protection we can give
them is the best equipment that oul
money will buy in order that they
may defend themselves and have {
fighting mans chance for his life.
"And in the face OF this, it is ar
eternal shame that, in the last weel
or two, there have been committee
running down to Washington to pro
test against paying taxes. Send wore
to your representatives in congress
that you want them to stop quibblins
about this taxation, but to give ou
young men the best of everythin.
and to do it quickly.
"I've got three sons who have vol
unteered in the navy and if the,
hadn't l wouldn't call theivsons.

taxes we would have to issue NOR

If YOU want a clear head and good

Miss Benton's cool, impersonal man

young mans embarrassment. Benton,
apparently observing nothing amiss,
introduced them in an offhand fashion.

Mr. Abbey bowed and murmured
something that passed for acknowl-
