BANKS TO AID ANY
BUY LIBERTY BOND
State Institution Would Loan
$50 to Persons of Limited
Means Who Wish to Aid
Big War Fund.

The State Bank OF Omaha will
loan money to all who want to buy
liberty loan bonds and have not the
$50 in cast. The institution will let
patriotic borrowers pay the money
back in almost any kind of install
mentS.
President A. L. Schantz said the
bank stands ready to accommodate
anyone who wants bond.
The lowest denomination in which
these bonds will come will be $50, &C
cording to the reports" he said. That
seems to me to be low enough to al
low most people to get in and help.
However, If it is not, and if there are
people who want to buy bond and
have not TIE $50 ready. we will loan
them the money and take their note
for it. We will give them easy pay
ments.
1T is going to be long. hard pull
to raise all this money, and before we
are through with it we'll all have to
get into the game. Every man will
have to own some Of these bonds
cventually-wait and see"
The State Bank of Omaha was the
first financial institution in Omaha to
subscribe " the liberty war loan,
Fifty the Minimum.
Omaha 5ankers in general are en-
tircly in favor of the system under
which the liberty loan is to be worked
cut They declare that reducing ,he
minimum bond down to $50 is
stroke that will make the bonds popu-
lar and place them within the reach
of almost everyone.
Vice President Folda OF the Corn
Exchange National bank said:
The $50 minimum seems to be low
enough. 1t will take lot of bonds at
that figure to make up the money re-
CURED for the big loan OF course
the hnanciers in the east will take
large amounts which will swell the
sum rapidly ] feel sure that the $50
bonds will he bought up rapidly here

wlIa AnIm.Is Fear Acquired.

The fear which all wild animals
have for man is an acquired charac-
teristlc. This is amply shown by the
fact that In the far wilds Of the Cana
dian Rockies, where a man is seldom
seen, the grouse are so tame that they
may be killed with clubs. AS william
T. Hornaday says, these untutored
birds seem to have but two ideas-to
feed on the ground and ay into q low
tree II frightened. A bird with only
two ideas is not long for this world,
and the fool hen that lolters along a
trail usually finds her way into fry"
ing pan. Yet this bird Is the western
prototype Of the wary ruffed grouse
OF New England. and old chronicles
show that shy bird was once so tame
that II could be caught with horse
hair loop on the end of long stick.

WOULD EXECUTE
INFIRM PEOPLE
Iowa Physician Would Free
Others From the Care
of the Weak

Chicago, Sept. '28.-Dr. w. A.
Guild, of Des Moines. la, proposed
legal execution of all aged, infrm or
suffering persons who desire death.
'Legalized euthanasia," he called
it, in addressing the American Asso.
citation of Progressive Medicine.
Twenty per cent. OF all deaths are
terrible in their suffering, both 10 the
victims and their friends" said DR..
Guild.
1.-TWO hundred thousand OF the
population OF the United States are
marked by the death angel each year
through far advanced diseases. These
are dependent and their usefulness
passed. The energies of others are
consumed IN their care. To these,
add fifty thousand in the poorhouse.
"The policeman and the dog catch
er put the suffering horse or dog to
death and weapprove. We send our
insane to asylums and our criminals
to jails. Yet no provision is made tor
relieving the sufferings of humans
marked by death.
81 propose that this association rec
ommend to the governors of the states
here that laws be passed
providing an easy death for all mon
strosities, the suffering moribhnd,
the hopelessly lincurable, and in all
cases where agonizing death inn
pends."
