LIBERTY LOAN is PRICE OF PEACE
Let Us Pay This Price To Ourselves Now Or Later
Pay It To Germany


We are in this and we can't get out of il
without getting beaten badly or winning conclu
sively 1t is finish fight.
1t doesn't matter how this situation came
about. The thing now to do is to prevent terrible
misadventure from overtaking u.s. Americans
want peace. We can have peace now only in one of
two ways, by victory or by defeat.
We have to pay huge sums as the price of
peace. We will pay these sums to ourselves in the
form OF national loans, will pay them to the
Central Powers in the form of war levies in case
our allies are defeated and our trade is posted for
redemption only on Germanys terms
The American who desires to lie down after
having invited Germany to crush him will best do
so by avoiding his obligation to subscribe to the
Liberty Loan.
In this way he can see to it that our soldiers
shall lack food, clothing, equipment and ammuni-
tlon to just that degree. In this way he can en-
sure the stagnation of domestic industry and his
own loss. In this way he can undermine the
prestige of the United States and of government
by democracy for which this nation stands
What American wishes himself thus labeled?
None 1t is the solemn duty of every man to in
vest $50 or $100 or $500 in Liberty Loan bond
an interest bearing gold bond readily convertible
bond, a first mortgage the United States and
to pay for it out of his additional savings.
Subscribe for yours today. Have your wife
subscribe for one. Teach your sons thrift by buy
ing one for them.

and his familiarity with New Mexico

An ingrained sense of justice and

SIMPLE WAYS TO
MEET THE WORLD
FOOD SHORTAGE

Owing to the depleted stock of food
In Europe a large proportion Of the
population is receiving its supply un-
der a system Of rations, food tickets
or other restrictions. The United
States Food Administration confident
ly expects to avoid such a necessity In
the United States.
In addition to strict control in the
commercial handling Of food products
to prevent boarding and waste. the
Administration Is endeavoring to gain
the cooperation OF consumers 20 that
this country may voluntarily accom-
plish what Europe has been able to DO
only by compulsion.
Here are the four pricipal means to
the desired end:
1. Personal saving, which includes
all methods OF reducing waste Of food
products in the home.
2. National saving. which means
the use Of the best methods Of ham
ding. storing and distributing foods
,. The using OF foods not needed
by our Allies and boys at the front.
such as poultry and fish at least one
day a week. to conserve the supply of
meats.
4. Encouraging production. which
means raising more food products OF
all kinds, but especially the staple
articles for which n world demand ex.
lists.
The Food Administration desires
especially at the present time to bring
about a widespread use OF perishabls
food products to take the place o.
those to be exported to our Allie
and our troops in Europe.
The foods which the country is ash
ed to use sparingly are animal fats
beef. mutton, pork. sugar. and wheai
