WORKERS VITALITY
INTERESTEDIN WAR
WAGE GARNER HAS MORE TO
LOSE THAN ANY CLASS
BY DEFEAT.
SLAVE OR FREEMAN, CHOOSE
Secretary Wilson Points That With
Demoeracy's Downfall Common
People Will Lose Hard Won,
Dearly Bought Liberties.

A strong appeal to the wOrkingmen
Of this country to participate in the
second Liberty Loan to the fullest ex-
tent has been made by William B.
Wilson, Secretary of Labor. Secretary
Wilson points out that 'the workers
have more at stake in this great con-
flict than any others, because it is
only in a democracy that the common
people can come into their own" Sec
rotary Wilson's statement is as fol-
lows:
To the Wage-Workers OF the United
States:
The great European war in which
we are now involved came to the peO-
pie of the Western Hemisphere as
terrible shock, and to no portion of
the people did it come as a greater
shock than to the wage earners of the
United States. They believed in and
wanted international peace, but they
wanted it on a basis Of international
justice which would insure the right
of our people to govern themselves.
When the Imperial German Govern
ment undertook to destroy the lives
of our people and to impose a rule
Of conduct upon US without our con-
sent in places under the Jurisdiction
OF the United States Government,
there was no course left but to resist.
The workers have more at stake
in this conflict than any others, be-
cause it is only in a democracy that
the common people can come into
their own. The great privilege is not
given to all of US TO serve our country
on the battlefield or in the trenches,
but there are other ways in which we
can serve and assist those who are
privileged to carry our flag on the
battlefields of Europe. The impulse
of sacrifice for the common good is
sending the youth of our country into
the trenches in defense Of liberty, hui
manity and democracy. To those Of
us who must of necessity remain at
home to till the soil, harvest the
crops, man the factories, mines and
mills, the way is open fo- additional
service. We, too, must make sacri-
fees. The men who go forth to do
battle in the field must be equipped
and sustained. Funds must be forth
coming to furnish the food, the fire
arms and other supplies for the fight
ing forces Of the nation.
l am reminded of the fable Of a
great drought when the crops were
wasting for the want Of water, and
one little raindrop said to another in
the clouds, Il would like to 90 down
to the. relief of the farmer and his
perishing crops, but l am so little it
would be useless" And another lit
tie raindrop replied, 1T would be use
less for you to go down alone, but
let Us all go down and our combined
effort will bring the needed relief"
And so it is with the workers. The
funds each has available is but a
drop, but all Of the drops together
can make a shower Of funds that will
furnish the needed supplies, bring Joy
to the hearts of the boys at the front
and CONSERVATION to our enemies.
WILLIAM B. WILSON,
Secretary of Labor.

Mr.. SMALL INVESTOR,
THIS VITAL MESSAGE
Is ADDRESSED TO YOU.
How to Invest Money.


Joseph d. Bascom, secretary and
treasurer Of the Broderick & Bas-
com Rope Co., st. Louis, whose COM
pany has bought $250,000 Of the
second series Of the Liberty Loan,
gives excellent reasons for invest
ing in the bonds.
Mr.. Bascom is a successful bust
ness man, and while he urges In
vestment In Liberty Bonds as a
patriotic duty, he sees the adYan-
tage from a business standpoint Of
buying the bonds.
Investing surplus earnings In
Liberty Bonds, Mr.. Bascom says,
is better than paying dividends.
The great corporations are accumu-
lating funds to meet increased
taxes and value depreciation. What
better investment for these funds
and other reserve funds than +per-
cent Government bonds-the safest
in the world?
Individually Mr.. Bascom is set
ting a good example to small in
vestors. He says that the Eastern
capitalists are investing in Liberty
Bonds and he has always found it
wise to follow their example. The
first rule for small investors Is to
follow the advice or example OF
those experts who know how to In
vest money to best advantage. Men
who have made and are making
money are the best guides in money
saving and money making.
Small investors cannot do bet
ter than follow the leadership OF
the big investors and the capable
business men at the head OF sue
cessful corporations. Buy Liberty
Bonds.-From the St Louis Post
Dispatch.

ORGANIZED FORCES JOIN
LIBERTY BOND CAMPAIGN

The st. Louis women's committee
of the Liberty Loan Organization is
working under the able direction of
Mrs. John H. Holiday as chairman.
Mrs. Holiday has the cooperation of
all women's organizations doing war
relief work.
Mrs. B. F. Bush, state president of
the Women's National Council Of De
tense, who has organized LOG of the
ia counties in Missouri effectively,
and has a live working organization
in each one of these counties and 375
towns through the state, placed this
working force at the disposal Of the
Liberty Loan Organization.
Mira. Ernest Silk of the st. Louis
Equal Suffrage League repudiated the
statement recently made by Mrs. o.
H. Havemeyer at meeting of the
Woman's Party at Baltimore, and de-
clared that the Woman's Party did
not represent the National Woman's
Suffrage League, that suffragists were
working for Liberty Loan Bonds and
doing other war relief work.
The Equal Suffrage League of st.
Louis has an organization in each Of
the 20 wards and 500 precincts with
an efficient chairman in each ward
and precinct. This force is now at
work in disposing of the Liberty Loan
Bonds in ST. Louis.
"Four-Minute" women speakers will
join forces with the "Four-Minute'
men and speak in tht motion picture
houses and other places for four min
utes on the Liberty Bond during the
rest Of the campaign.
