EDUCATIONAL. VALUE OF THE
LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN

In addition to the main result, that
of selling the two billion dollar bond
issue and the equally important re-
suit of placing the bonds in every
section of the country and among
all classes of Americans, the cam
paign for the sale of the Liberty
Loan Bonds has had a great educa-
tional value
The people Of the United States
are much better informed now Of
their Government finances and meth
DDS of finance than ever before. Hun
dreds OF thousands of people whose
idea of Government bonds was vague
ard indefinite are now not only
possessors Of Liberty Loan Bonds,
but know what a Government bond
is and the peculiar worth ard value
CT such securities.
They have been informed of what
other Governments have done in
the way Of bond issues, of the
wealth of this country compared wi h
its national debt, and the wealth of
other nations compared with their
national debts.
The campaign has opened and de-
veloped a vast market for future
bond issues of the United States and
has opened up to the American peo-
pie and made them acquainted with
a field of investment they knew lit.
tie of before. It has given them in
vestments for their savings the equal
of which they never had before.
The newspapers and the banks of
the country were great instructors
in this campaign. Scarcely a citizen
of any town and scarcely a news

iLEGIsLATED LABOR SHORTAGE.
At time when there is a shor age

unwise because it is burdensome

The public welfare unites with

Labor Shortage.

Labor shortage is beginning to be
felt in many farming sections and
some industries are already suffering.
The greatest apprehension is over
threatened failure to save crops. As
high aas $3.50 to $500 per day is
already being paid for common la
Dor in orchards and haying. Unless
the literacy test is suspended and
labor allowed to come into the coun-
try from Mexico and the orient On

THE PEOPLE HAVE ANSWERED

The American people have made
their second answer to their coun-
try's call The first answer was
made on June 5, when 10000, 900
American citizens between the ages
OF 81 and 80 years registered them
selves for national service. This an
swer, though required by law, was
made with spirit and willingness
that robbed the registration of any
faint of compulsion or ssrvitude
The second answer from the peo-
pie was registered finally on June
Is, and the answer completed that
day was entirely voluntary More
than 5000, 900 American citizens vol
UNFAIRLY subscribed their money to
support the United States in the
war. This they did, not hysterical-
ly, not in a spirit of war fever, but
calmly and in the exercise of judg-
ment and reason.
II is true that the subscribers to
the Liberty Loan of 1917 get full
value received for their contribution,
but the immense number of small
bonds bought shows that it was
not the wealthy alone of the Nation
that supported the Liberty Loan. 1t
shows that it was not the invest
ing public of America alone that
bought the bonds. 1t shows that the
American people subscribed the loan,
and that, while many wealthy citi-
zens invested millions in the bonds,
great many more American citi-
zens of small means fastened to do
their part.
More than this, the lists Of sub
scribre show that many citizens of
very small means, perhaps with no
capital and no great earning capaci-
ty. were willing to stint thems selves
In order to purchase a Liberty Loan
Bond and have share in the finan-
cial support Of their country in time
of war
The result Of the Liberty Loan
Bond sale is an inspiration to every
American. 1t has proved the patriot
ism OF the body polite. 1t has shown
that behind the fighting men of the
Nation is the money of the people;
that behind the man power of the
Nation stand the Unreasonable fl
nances and material resources of
America.
The Liberty Loan of 1917 is a new
tie between the Government and the
people Of the United States. Every
holder OF Liberty Loan Bond feels
more of an American citizen, and
along with a sense of duty done and
service performed feels an individual
pecuniary interest in the Govern
ment. Each has a certificate of
citizenship and something that MIGHT
be compared to share of stock
In the American Government.
Germany has been answered and
the reply is entirely satisfactory to
all who love America. There is no
mistaking its volume or tone. It
reaches across the seas and no
censorship can rob it of its signifi-
canoe and strength

SPEED KINGS WILL RACE

Automobile racing has taken such

The King of Sports" has become a
regular feature of the large state fairs
and is proving decidedly the best
drawing card from a sport standpoint.
Alex Sloan, the premier promoter of
auto races on dirt tracks, has con-
0acted with the Tri-State Fair to
handle this feature of the fair. Mr..
Sloan Is In touch with, and has the
confidence of more sensational driv-
ers than any other man in America,
and is busy booking the entry of
some real stars for the auto races,
which will be held or the last day OF
the fair, Saturday, Sept. 20.

big speedways, who deserted the dust
less ovals this year for the dirt track
racing, along with Barney Oldfield and
Relph DePalma, vas the first big
speed pilot to send in his entry, and
IN securing this entry, Mr.. Sloan has
made a ten strike. as Klein is one OF
the most spectacular drivers in the
racing game today. One of Klein's
most remarkable feats, and one which
stands without a parallel in the
racing game, was his performance al
hs opening Of the Cincinnati speed
day, when he finished two cars in one
event. Klein first finished a Crawford

Speak gently-let no harsh words mar
The good we might do here.
Speak gently! Love doth whisper low
The vows that true hearts bind;
And gently friendships accents flow;
Affections voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child;
Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accents soft and mild
1t may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear,
Pass through this life as best they NAV
IT'S full of anxious care!
Speak gently to the aged one.
Grieve not the care-worn heart,
In sands OF life are nearly run,
Let such IN peace depart.
Speak gently, kindly, to the poor;
Let no harsh tone be heard;
They have enough they must endure
without an unkind word!
Speak gently to the erringMknow1sa
How frail are all! how vain!sea =
Perchance ~unkindness made them So sis
Oh! win them back again.
haSpeak' gently-He who gave His life
10 bend mans stubborn will,
When elements were in fierce strife.
Said to them-'Peace, be STILL"
Speak gently! IT'S a little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep well:
Inc good, the JOY, which it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.
