GOVERNOR SAYS ID
 INVEST IN BONDS
APPEAL MADE TO PEOPLE OF STATE TO CONTRIBUTE TO
 COMFORT OF SOLDIERS.
26,00O MEN IN SERVICE
Arkansas Called Upon To Contribute $f5,oo0ooo, Net As Gift, For the Bonds Are a Sterling Invest
 ment, Says Chic Executive.

Little Rock
 Governor Brough has issued the following address to the people of Ar kansas.
 At a time like this, when we have before HIS daily visible and tangible evidence Of the high courage ard pa trietism of our young men, who soon are to lay their lives upon the altar of war for the furtherance of the idea of world democracy and the honor of American arms over the seas, l feel that it is not necessary to appeal to tbe people of this state 10 ceme TO their aid, to contribute to their com fort and maintenance
 "Arkansas has contributed gener. ously of her man-power.. There are now 26,000 of our young men, almost an army division, in various branches of the service. None can say that we have not poured out most generously of our most precious possession to guarantee for, the world that democ- racy which so long has been an inner ent, basic principle of the American government
 T.@" The Liberty loan now raising is directly for the support of the Amer ican forces now in France, or soon 10 be-. Arkansas is called upon @ contribute about s15.000000 of this sum-not as a gift, for the bonds arc R sterling investment. It is not the simple fact that American soldiers landed on French and British soil which has stricken terror to the hearts of the Reichstag and the Viii helmstrasse: it is the knowledge that back of every American soldier is ar American bondholder who is willing to contribute of his plenty or of his little that the soldier may fight to tlle uttermost.
 When it is considered that t..e proceeds of every bond held by ci- tizen of Arkansas may be used for tie support and maintenance of soldier of Arkansas, fighting in foreign trenches, I feel no fear that this state will not respond instantly and fully 10 the call which the government now makes. it is Arkansas patriotic duty to subscribe the full amount allolIac to her, and no better ertiSement could be secured for the state than to oversubscribe.
