point with pride to our Grand Old
Man. Samuel Gompers. president of

slavery, to industrial freedom, stand

In its insitiate grind for gold.
That spirit in the leader. linking him

QUICK VICTORY WILL HELP
FARMERS. Z.
BY ARTHUR c. PAGE,
Editor, The Orange Judd Farmer,

So many farmers boys have Joined
the military, so many more may be
called If the war continues, that our
farmers have the keencst Of blood in
terest in securing an early victory. On
the economic side, q sure market at
fair prices for the produce the farmer
has to sell, with reasonable prices for
the commodities he has to buy, also
depends upon a victorious peace.
For these personal and selfish rea-
sons, farmers are vitality interested in
the second Liberty Loan. They are
ready to subscribe their share, accord
ing to their means, now that terms
of payment have been made SO con,
vcnient, - gas
Over and above all other considera-
tons, however, is the farmers deeply
rooted patriotism. His devotion to the
American flag was shown by his I'M
limited sacrifices in the war to pre-.
serve the union, and again In the
Spanish war, and in these latter DAYS,
by the great numbers of farmers al
ready serving in army and navy. In
deed so many farmers have been anx-
ious to go to the front that it is now
suggested that the rest of them be
required to stay at home as food pro-
ducers. Every dollar that farmers
subscribed to Liberty Bonds now helps
by so much to win the war and to
clear up labor conditions which are
giving farmers so much concern. AS
an investment the money should be
safe and. yield a good return free Of
tax, Important as Is such financial
profit, it is the lease of the other and
more powerful appeals that Liberty
Bonds make to the patriotic farmer.
and to every member of his family.
AS one of them writes: "All that /
am or have is thine, Oh my country. /"

trust that this loan will meet
very wide subscription in smill
amounts. One Of the fundamental eIc-
ments in the stability of the financial
condition Of the French Republic is
the fact that the national loans are
taken, up in small amounts by persons
who are able in that way to put away
their savings with sense Of entire
security, Such policy adopted here
in the first place would make 1t pos
sible for government loans to be placed
rapidly and effectively. In the second
place, 1t would be distinct encourage
ment to thrift, providing a ready and
safe investment for small savings. In
the next place, 1t stabilizes the entire
condition Of the republic. Every in
weston In the national securities is
thereby financial partner in the ma
tional prosperity, believe that few
things. therefore, could be more effect
i've for the benefit Of the nation than
the rapid placing Of this second Lib
erty loan among the masses of the
people in small amounts.

A great many millions Of people q

Today they are changing their minds.

II Is easy enough to wave nag and
cheer the soldiers; It is easy enough
to crate patriotic things and praise
the names Of Washington and Lincoln.
But the acid test Of war is sitting

that we cannot have national strength
without something to back 1t up.
That's why the second Liberty loan
is announced.
We might as well get used to sup
porting Liberty loans.

button for one bond. We've got to
pay for that Americanism of which
we have been so proud, II we expect
to keep on being proud Of 1t.
1t means sacrifices. 1t means each Of
us has got to do the biggest things he
can do for his country.
If million, or two million, men can
stand behind us and the hell that was
made of Belgium and northern France,
then we can stand back Of those men,
and pay for the guns and ammunition

AMERICAN WOMEN
!! Will BUY BONDS
BY MARTHA klMeALL WOOD,
Member Women's Liberty Loan
Committee.

Never before in history, save in the
mind OF Plato In his ideal republic,
mas the economic or financial aid of
women been sought by the government
of nation. Since Susan b. Anthony
sounded the reveille of equal suffrage,
women the world over have been clam
oring for their rights. And now that
the government asks our aid, in no
way vii! women gain suffrage more
surely than through responding to
every call the government makes upon
them.
Washington has asked us to con-
serve foodstuffs and other necessities
of life; to support the Red Cross; to
register women for war service; to
protect the interest of women and
children in industry; to relieve The
suffering of our allies in this grcat
|entente; yet at the same time TO cur
tail In no way our aid to home chart
.ties. These requests prove that while
I'm some states suffrage is withheld,
the government feels that we are en-
tirely capable of doing any work asked
of US; and now the supreme test. from
"a mans standpoint, is placed in our
hands to be Of financial aid to the gov
eminent of the United States.
These thoughts have been in the
mind of every thinking woman and are
reasons why every woman should sup
port the Liberty Lonn. However, do
not believe them to be the supreme
reasons why they will support the
loan.
Every real woman is potentially a
mother. In our new National Army
there are 6S7, 600 first call" men; and
this means nearly q million mothers
anxious that the war should cease be-
fore their sons are called upon TO face
the sacrifice required of the boys of
other nations. And there are count
less other mothers, without sons to
offer. but knowing that unless our
troops are successful and the war
speedily closed, their daughters may
have to bear the shame under which
The girls of invaded Europe are crush
led. Will these mothers feel that they
can refuse to support this second Lib
Ierty Loan?
No real woman with mother instinct
who has read of the flower OF Euro
peun youth-clean and sweet and
|strOng-enduring the filth of The
trenches; facing malignant ruthless
ness of the enemy's onslaughts: re.
turning MANNED, blinded, and eaten

which brutal lust has wrought upon

ble-will hesitate for one moment in
doing anything to cut short the dura-
ton of this war. For the protection
OF their sons and daughters, American
women will buy Liberty bonds.

NEW LisERrY LOAN 4 Pea cgMf
BONDS ATTRACTIVE TO LARGE
INVESTORS. I.

The erroneous impression has been
created that the new Liberty loan 4
per cent bonds are not attractive to
persons with any considerable income.
1t should be understood that there are
two taxes, the regular normal income
tax, such as was paid last year, and
the additional tax, which is to be levied
during the period Of the war.
For the following computation the
most unfavorable basislis used, that Is,
1t is supposed that the war will last
five years, and furthermore, that the
government will retire. the bonds at
the end of the ten-year option. If the
war ends before five years, the return
is greatly improved, and if the gov
eminent allows the bonds to run after
the optional period, which will un-
doubtedly be the case, the yield will
also be improved. The method of
computation is as follows:
On an income of 100000 the present
tax is 1872 per cent. The total tax,
including the special war tax, will be
1913 per cent. Thus for five years
the bonds would net the investor hav-
ing 100000 income, 3.34 per cent. For
the five years following the bonds
would net 1884 per cent, the war in
come tax being removed, making to-
tai income for the period of $50 an
nually. So it will be seen that even
with 100000 income per cent
bond Is Il better purchase than 311ha
per cent bond. On incomes of Il lower
amount the income rate Is higher, as
per the following table:
On an income of $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period Is 3.65 per cent
annually.
On an income of 100000, the income
for the ten-year period Is 81 per cent
annually.
On an income of $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period is $40 per cent
annually.
! On an income of $4,000. the income
for the ten-year period Is 3.S5 per cent
/ annually.
| On an income of $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period is 3.S7 per cent
/ annually.
On an income of $4,000, the income
| for the ten-year period Is $50 per cent
/ annually.
On an income of $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period is 800 per cent
annually.
On an income of $780, the income
for The ten-year period is 393 per cent
annually
/ On an income of $4,000, the income
for the ten-year perior is 4 per cent
annually.
/ Furthermore. these bonds, being ex-
changeable into the next loan. that
i loan must, like the other loans, be sold
at par, so that this bond must con-
tinue to be worth par. For the above
reasons 1T seems wise for the holders
of BIZ per cent bonds, instead of en-
changing their bonds for the new per
cent bonds, that they offer their bonds
for sale at par and buy 4 per cent
bonds with the proceeds. thus largely
increasing the subscriptions of the
4 present loan.

SHOW YOUR FAITH.
+.
IN AMERICA
BY THOMAS r. MARSHALL,
Vice President Of the United States.

II we are standing in statecraft for
the same things for which the Naza-
rene stood in religion, then we ought
to be able to CLEAN something from
the discussion of his followers. Pc
ter and Paul grew acrimonious over
the relative merits Of faith and works
and the discussion ended with the
somewhat caust1c statement, "Show
ne your faith without Eapr works,
Rn9 will shoW- you my faith by my
works"
We have been running up the Amer
tcau Flag at all the school houses in
America; we have been rising with
solemn countenances whepever the
sakarSpangled Banner Is played, and
wa have proclaimed to The world our
never ending allegiance to those great
principles of democracy upon which
t&e republic was founded and is now
supposed to rest. Now we have reach
ed the poipt where our faith Is
being put to the touchstone of our
works and " are soon to find out
whether this love which we profess
for our institutions, our country, and
our Flag. is but sounding brass and
Thrilling cymbal or whether it is a
great and vital inspiration of indivld-
ual and national life.
Our young men, with q devotion UNI
exampled In the history of the world,
are laying aside all the hopes of fu-
ture years and are going gladly "some-
where In France" to offer, If need be,
the last drop of-blood in their veins
as free libation upon the altar of
constitutional liberty. They cannot
go half-clad, half-fed, unequipped or
unassured that they will be properly
looked after If disabled.
We did not prepare. We thought
there was no danger. And in one year
there came upon us an outlay of en-
traordlnary expense. which might hnva
been prevented had we exercised fore
sight and courage. little by little. tc
get ready. It is futile, however. to
hold post-mortems. The past is the
dead and eternal past. This war must
be fought, and it must be financed in
order to be fought.
My objection to Carnegie libraries
is not directed at Carnegie nor at IL
braries; 1t springs from a deep-rooted
feeling that we do not take real Ia
terest in anything for which we do
not make some sacrifice
l do not, therefore, want this war
to be financed by those who ore easily
able to do so financially. want every
man, woman and child in America.
who has been waving the Flag. singing
the "Star-Spangled Banner" and brag-
glng about the glories of democracy,
to prove now by their works that they
have a genuine faith in the American
republic. That proof demands of us
all that we take enough of the war OBJ
legations of this government to make
us feel some sort of sacrifice for the
cause In which each one Of us pro-
fesses to believe and does believe.
