The instructions indicate that the
national guard units which had pre-

home rendezvous of the organiza-
tions; also that the war department
is too busy with plans for taking
care OF the draft army by September

the country town must respond to
the call Of the loan or it will fail
National and state pride should be
enough to secure an oversubscription-
There is, however, another aspect
OF this matter which the farmer and
dwelIer in the smaller towns should
take note of, namely, that II this loan
is not subscribed we shall have 10

men who will not lend their money
on good security and reasonable in
terest will be forced TO give it up
without return of either principal or
interest" =
Good Business to Subscribe.
IF the call of patriotism is not
sufficient business sense should Sc
cure subscriptions The people on
the farms and in the smaller cities
and towns dependent on the farming
interests, must realize that Il Is
through them that a large proportion
of the loan must come They nave
the greatest resources in land and
real wealth, although their ready
money may be tied up to an extent

1T is to protect their lands, their
rights, their privileges OF gooo
prices for foodstuffs that the govern

is calling, the country that educated
you, protected you, and has made you

ABOUT THE LIBERTY LOAN

For the second time in two weeks,
Liberty loan talk featured the lunch
con of the FL Paso Motor Trades as
ISOLATION, Monday. J. E. Benton, Of
the First National bank, was the
speaker OF the day. He gave his ideas
on craftsmanship. pointing out that

lows prospects is the one who helps
the community.
Taking up Liberty loan matters,
Mr.. Benton expressed the opinion
that few people fully realize what
$1,000, 600, 900 amounts to. He com
pared the amount of the loan with
the bonded debt OF the country, the
cost of the Panama canal and SAID
that the interest alone amounts to
$500 a minute. At IS an acre, this
loan would buy every acre Of land on
the continent
Mr.. Benton believed that when this
loan money gets into circulation il
Will mean good times for all business
men, including the auto trade and
that there is going TO be a scarcity

mand that is sure to come.
