LIBERTY EMRICHING THE WORLD.
ON ASKING THE FARMER TO
BUY A BOND.

Too many farmers, last summer
neglected to buy Liberty bonds. We
are willing to be charitable and be-
lieve they neglected this duty through
procrastination, or lack of funds, or
for some other reason more or less
unavoidable.
AT any rate, the fact remains that
they didn't subscribe 10 the first Lib
erty Loan, and since then, no doubt,
their conscience hasn't been resting
well o. nights. Now they have an OPP
portunity to ease that troubled con-
science. There's second Liberty
Loan on now, offering q better invests
ment than even the first one offered,
and the advice Of this publication to
farmers everywhere is this:
If you failed to invest in the first
loan, go straight TO your banker, with
out q moments delay, AMI invest in
loan number two. Plunge into it up
TO your eyebrows, for you've got to
atone, remember for what you failed
to do last May and June.
II you ulu lLNcSI III the UrSI loan,
then hold on to your interim certlfi-
Gates and later exchange them for the
second issue bonds, which will pay q
higher rate OF interest. No charge
will be made for this exchange, and
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo will
presently name the date upon which
the exchange may be made.
But don't hesitate to buy a bond of
this second issue simply because you
bought one or more of the first. You
cannot own too many of these bonds.
They're the safest investment on earth,
and one of the most profitable. So
long as the United States government
indures, they cannot depreciate in
value.
Then, too, Of course, there Is
higher reason why every farmer should
have q Liberty bond in his home.
Even though they paid no interest
whatever, they should be In every
farmhouse in America. The owner
ship of Liberty bond is sufficient
proof that the farmer has emerged
triumphantly from an acid test of his
patriotism. Liberty bond owners need
never protest that they are true-blue
Americans. Their bonds prove they
are.

Pluto's Safety Valve.

A round, smooth hole in the side Of
granite monument about nine miles
out from Mexico City is locally known
by a term which signifies "Pluto's
safety valve" The hole is about nine
inches In diameter at the opening,
which is polished in manner which
suggests human workmanship. That
man had nothing TO do with drilling or
polishing this hole will be readily sur
missed when it is known that it has
occasionally emitted hot air and smoke
during period extending over 300
years.

WHY WE DID 1T.
BY ELLIS PARKER BUTLER,
Humorous Writer.

In our little town Of Flushing on
Long Island, with less than 10000 in
habitants, we took subscriptions for
the first Liberty Loan issue to total
of $1,044, 900, or an amount equal to
one 500 bond for every man, woman,
youth and baby in the town. This
amOunt was subscribed through the
three local banks. Most of our citi-
zens do business In New York and
many are connected with financial in
situations there or subscribed in New
York before our campaign was started.
Flushing probably took 100000 Of
the first issue. Although several long
term payment plans were in operation,
the bulk of these bonds have been
paid for now. Flushing will buy more
than her share Of the new issue. Why?
Those who bought bonds bought
them for two reasons-patriotism and
investment. A great many who bought
from patriotic motives have discovered
that 1t is easier than they ever mag
ined to save money. They were glad
to help Uncle Sam; now they are glad
to own bonds. In Flushing, those who
bought Liberty Bonds will buy more
because they have found Ii the easiest
way to save money; those who did not
buy before will buy now, because they
have neighbors who tell them they
were foolish to miss the first chance.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BUY
A BOND
BY EDWARD BOX,
Editor, Ladies' Home Journal.

Every woman who can should buy
one of the new Bonds because
First: 1t is the best investment on
the face of the earth today. There
could be no better.
Second: AS every cent of the money
raised by these Bonds is spent in this
country, woman helps to keep bust
ness going, and that means her income.
Third: The buying of Bond makes
every woman do her part in winning
the war, for war cannot be conducted
without money. The Government must
have money. and the amount she loans
to Il helps to keep our boys In France
fed and clothed. A woman when she
buys one of these Bonds Is q real pa
triot of her country, as well as care
full investor Of her money.
These bonds must sell. for II they
do not, the necessary money must be
raised by such heavy taxation as to
cripple every industry in the land, and
the poor would not be able to provide
themselves with the bare necessities Of
life. Everything would 60 into taxa
ton. Hence, come these Bonds as true
savfoys of the poor.

BY CALEB n. CANDY.
Former President, Chicago Board OF

The United States is engaged in a
righteous war, war upon the result
of which depends not only the future
of free representative governments in
all PARIS of the world, but the future
peace and prosperity of all peoples.
Every man, woman and child, from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific, should
appreciate, the fact, that it is a duty
of the highest order, and privilege
greater than any other. to support the
second installment of the Liberty Loan,
(which will help TO bring the war to
successful and early conclusion.
There will be presented to us Octo-
Der 1st the opportunity to perform this
vital service for our country. This
service calls for practically no per-
sonal sacrifice other than the invest
ment of our surplus funds in q secur-
ity Of the highest order based upon
practically ali the vast resources of
the United States.
No subject is Of greater Importance
to each of us personally, and from the
standpoint of self-interest as well as
patriotism we shOaId one and all give
this loan our hearty support, with the
thought constantly in our minds that
upon us in this essential matter de
ponds to large degree not only our
future peace and happiness, but the
peace, happiness and prosperity of our
children and our children's children.

IS APPOINTED BY
Chief EXECUTIVE
Council Will Outline Questions
Of Policy Regarding Exports
of Food and Fuel to ,,..eu- ;
trail Countries.

Washington, June 25.-President
Wilson by executive order today Gre
ated an exports embargo council to
administer the export embargo provi-
sions of the espionage act.
By the administration of embargoes

JOHNNY LYNCH
FILES MOTION IN
SUIT BY CLARK

Court to Require Accuser to
Make Complaint More
Definite and Certain.

Attorneys for County Commits
sioner Johnny" Lynch late yester-
day filed motion in district court in
the case brought by Sheriff Clark to
GUST him. Instead Of direct answer
the court is asked to require Sheriff
Clark, the accuser, to make his COM
plant more definite and certain.
Sheriff Clark, through his attorney,
Frank S. Howell, filed papers in dis
trict court May rs setting forth an
array of alleged misconduct and mis-
demeanors i'll office on the part of
Lynch and demanding his removal
from office as county commissioner.
Commissioner Lynch's attorney, J.
A. c. Kennedy, asks that the time,
date, etc, of the various charges con-
tanned in the five specifications Of the
complaint be stated and other data
be more specifically set forth.
The court is also asked to strike
out certain allegations because "im-
material, irrelevent, redundant and
prejudicial, do not state commission
of any act of habitual or wilfully neg
leeted duty, gross partially, oppres-
sion, extortion, wilful maladministra-
ton or commission Of any felony, and
do not refer to commission of any act
or deed, but merely to alleged
thoughts in accused's mind"
The motion was filed within half
hour of the close Of court business on
the day fixed by law for making an
swer.
If the court sustains the motion
Sheriff Clarks attorney will have to
file an amended petition and Lynch
will have more time for further an

Washington, June 25.-More than a
dozen suffragists were arrested late

furled suffrage banners, A crowd
OF hundreds watched the arrests, but
there was no disorder.
This was the fourth demonstra-
ton of the day. The other times the
women marched quietly past the
White house and back again without
unfurling their banners.
Just after 4:30, however, when en-
ployes began to pour out of the near

each carrying furled banner. started
in single file to march in front of the
White house from east to west. When
they reached the end of the block they
turned and started back still with the
banners furled.

iron pickets Of the fence as possible.
The police arrested most OF them and
took them in automobiles to police
headquarters.
The women were all released on
personal bonds after appearing at
headquarters. giving their names, ages
and occupations. No time was set for
