WORKERS HAVE MORE AT
STAKE THAN ANY OTHERS

A strong appeal to the worl1ingmen
of this country to participate in the
second Liberty Loan to the fullest ex-
tent has been made by William B.
Wilson, secretary of labor.
Secretary Wilson points out that
"the workers have more at stake in
this great conflict than any others,
because It is only in democracy that
the common people can come into their
own"
"The great European war in which
we are now involved came to the peo-
pie Of the Western Hemisphere as a
terrible shock, and to no portion Of
the people did it come as a greater
shock than to the wage-earners of the
United States. They believed in and
wanted international peace, but they
wanted it on a basis of international
justice which would insure the right
Of our people to govern themselves.
When the Imperial German Govern
ment undertook to destroy the lives
Of our people and to impose a rule OF
conduct upon us without our consent
in places under the jurisdiction Of the
United States government, there was
no course left but to resist" Secre-
tary Wilson said.
The workers have more at stake
in this conflict than any others, be-
cause it is only in q 1deiAocracy that
the common people can come into their
own. The great privilege is not given
to all of us to serve our country on
the battlefield or in the trenches, but
there are other ways in which We can
serve and assist those who are privi-
legged to carry our flag on the battle
fields Of Europe. The impulse Of sac
rifice for the common good Is sending
the youth of our country into the
trenches in defense of Liberty, hui
manity and democracy.
ITO those Of us who must Of neces-
sity remain at home to till the soil,
harvest the crops, man the factories,
mines and mills, the way is open for
additional service. We too must make
sacrifices. The men who go forth to
do battle in the field must be equipped
and sustained. Funds must be forth
coming to furnish the food, the fire.
arms and other supplies for the fight
Ing forces of the nation. Finances
for that purpose must be secured ~.

FARMERS WHO MISSED FIRST
HAVE CHANGE ON SECOND
Campaign for New Bond Issue Begins
When Crops Are Marketable and
Ready Money ls at Hand.

In the first Liberty Loan campaign.
many Of the farmers Of the country
were not reached, and subscriptions
from rural committees were few.
There were several reasons for this.
the foremost of which was that the
loan was put out in the spring, when
they we're busy with their crops, and
1t was difficult for the canvassers to
interview them. Then, too, they had
to borrow money for their planting.
Now their crops are in, and at the
present high price Of foodstuffs they
should have a large sum Of money In
their hands. For loan Of portion
of that money, the Liberty Bond cam.
paigners are now appealing all over
the country. The various farm bu-
reaus and societies are cooperating
and good results are expected.
Albert r. Mann, dean Of the New
York College Of Agriculture. is one Of
those who have been active in this
work. Speaking Of the loan and the
farmers share in 1t, he said:
when liberty came to America the
farmer helped to bring il. He bore
the gun, he contributed unsparinsiy
of his substance, he fed the armies
In the present struggle for universal
liberty, am sure that he will do nc
less. He has already made splendid
response to the demand for greater
food production look with conf
dence on his generous contribution tc
the Liberty Loan.
"The first loan largely overlooked
the farmer-the efforts were concen
trated in the cities. The second cam
paign should give every opportunity
for farmers as individuals and In theil
organizations to support the govern
ment in its financial program It Il
the highest expression Of American
ism that all the people should hell
carry the common load In lhis crit
ical hour"
