 tspurces. at the weekend cams t1ye tcRlls to rally to the financial support of the government in it's death strug~ Egae against Kaiserism- and all of the Esinister evils associated with that world blight.
 E This time the cali is for the peo- tple and the corporations and busi- ness. enterprises of the banking dis -Etrfct of which Putnam is the center to Esubscrihes for more than $4e8, eco worth Ecf Liberty bonds. and the chances are falI in favor of success for the, project. EnaiEhty as, it is.
 F The campaign to boom the Liberty loan here will be intensive beyond anything in the past history of the fefty and it's surrounding territory. The Ecenfrai co1A1nittees has mapped out plans that siaoaIla serve to arouse the tinterests of every patriotic citizen and Ecause an unprecedented Aow e3 Sub-
 srripfions. An absolutely safe invest Ement- paying per cent. interest is. in- deed a. grand proposition about which to. talk to an investor purely from the investment side of the question: fbut- in addition to this. it is never to be for one moment forgotten that a. subscription for a Liberty bond, of small or large denomination, is a 1 money pledge toward. keeping the Heht lof liberty burning throughout the iworid.
 Putnam has, a high mark to shoot at in it's endeayers ito surpasa the splendid record set up at the close of the first Liberty loan campaign. but

 toward unfolding the hands, of the
 gover1lmsnt.

 Teams of canvassers will set busy
 this week and every persor. who can.
 otherwise, is expected to subscribe for
 a bond.
 Not to Disturb SANinss {. In this, great drive. for the second
 Liberty loan one note of warning is
 being sounded. however. That note. Stectine Putnam's financial institutions
 lest over zealous activity to sell the Liberty bonds reacts in such a way
 as to mean ultimate injury to the re AeEIeQ tO AlSIlIUI1OnS. Any 1nCt1Nid1tdI
 who withdraws a savings bank de-
 posit or other local investment to buy "a Efberty bond is doing neither the
 country nor the city of Putnam a pa-
 triotic service. No such extremes, of enthusiasm for investment iE the gov ernment loan should be encouraged 1t is being pointed out on all sides,
 by men who are thinking of this dis trict's interests during the period af- ter the war, and they are making clear. c Ef f1J1f md in iyrfa n.f of every savings bank depositor and investor in local enterprises. of per- sens who have money on deposit in. any locar financial institution. to- ar- low such deposits and investments, to remain undisturbed and buy Liberty bonds with other moneys. preferably such money as can be sa Ned By elirni- ratins useless or frivolous expendic- tnres.
 To MobiIize Idte Money
 II, this great drive for billions of money for carrying on it's war pro- Jecfs it is not the inteptien of the government to draw funds from sources that are the basis of sound local financial conditions and it is not1 the desire nor tGtentian of tire goE- eEnnant to have money witl.drawn from places of deposit that reprssen. the stability of the financial strength of community. Rather the govern ment desires to- mobilize idle money and money that is nen-interese paying CT paying so little that an investment in Liberty bonds will improve it's earn ingi power.
 Buy bond by all means. is the ad- | vice given: es large a bond as you pos sibly can; but pay for that bond l without disturbing the present very, satisfactory position of Putnam's f. rancial institutions and without ere ating a condition that is certain to 1, make way for an unpleasant reaction | after the war. There is plenty of ] money in the country to meet the sov- call and the other calls tbat | are to follow. without dipping into the funds that represent the real reserve. strength of this district. EIy, a bond | and save the money to pay for it. Save t by being ecenomieal in a hundred | ways. Buying 8 bond and I payinG for 1t with money saved from f in frivolous enterprises | md pastimes is the real essence of pa l trfotism-an absolutely net gain to l fhe government, tfrs cause of liberty, ! he community and the individual. | Withdrawing money from a local bankins irstitution to buy a bend is | ike taking $50 cut of one pocket and ! putting it in another.
