THE LIBERTY BOND SALE

The results obtained in selling Lib
erty Bonds in Missouri can largely
be attributed to the loyal support
given the campaign by the newspa-
pers of the state. Only words of en-
couragement and strong arguments
in favor of the bonds were advanced
by the press of Missouri during the
big nationwide movement to con-
vert $4,000, 100000 worth of United
States notes into this staggering sum
nj cash for use in the great war.
"A certain dignity attaches to mon
ey invested in a high and noble
cause" said the DeSoto Times in
urging its readers to buy Liberty
Bonds. 1T is billions for defense in
the worldwide war Autocracy is
waging against Democracy, but not
one cent for tribute" And it was
with equally convincing words that
other papers over the state urged the
people of their communities to join
in the financial campaign.
At times during the campaign when
it seemed the people of Missouri were
resting on their oars in the purchase
of Liberty Bonds, many papers, real
izing the necessity of raising billions
for carrying on the war for democ-
racy, plainly intimated that any citi-
zens who did not bear his part of the
financial burden was proving himself
a Stacker. The Carthage Evening
Press said: THE Treasury Depart
ment is worried because the sale of
Liberty Bonds is not progressing as
it should. When the people OF Mis-
souri, come to understand that win
ming this war depends upon money,
then probably the people will rise to
the emergency. Buying Liberty
Bonds is patriotic-also it is sensi-
BILE" And the Chillicothe Constitu-
ton, aiming a blow at those whose
lack of patriotism leads them to crit
icize the actions of the government,
said: Until you have subscribed to
the Liberty Loan, in the name of JUS
tiee refuse to express an opinion. |
Don't talk about the war-dO some
thing about it. It's a poor argument |
that is all language and no action. |
1t takes cold steel and warm dollars |
to convince the enemy"
The press of Missouri has proved |
in the past its worth as a champion |
of things worth while. Its campaign |
in favor of Liberty Bonds is another |
evidence of its value as a shaper of
public opinion.

veniences of the time. The new
building was erected on a new site
given by Gerard Robinson, which is
the site occupied by the present build

conditions in Missouri in 1S49, when
the gold rush was at its height, is CIV

a farmer in the Salt Creek cOmmun-

be bought for S. and s6. Three hun

1928 did the names of slaves appear
on the membership roll.
Violin Music Prohibited.
That the pioneers were puritanic in
their religious ideas is shown by the
records. Violin music was prohibited
as "kharnal" and dancing was under
no consideration tolerated among the
members. Meetings were held at the
homes as well as in the church. One
uage in the records tells of meet
ing held by early candle light at the
Widow Crosses" The elderly ladies
would often take their tobacco bags
