HOW EASY IT Is

See how easy it is to
subscribe and to meet the
payments. A payment of
only 2 per cent is made
with your subscription.
The balance is payable in
four installments, up to
August Both. Thus if you
subscribe to a $500 bond,
you pay with your sub
scription, ten dollars 800
On June 18th you pay
ninety dollars $500 more,
On July Both you pay one
hundred dollars ($100)
more. On August 18th
one hundred and fifty dol
lars $3.50 and on August
30th the final payment of
one hundred and fifty dol
lars ($l5O). Thus you can
pay for a considerable
part of your subscription
from your income mean
while.
Ii you have no bank ac-
count-if you have a job
you MUST subscribe just
the same for we need
your help-your country
and your fellow citizens
here need your help just
the same. You can buy a
$50 bond and you can go
to your employer and
subscribe through him on
the partial payment plan.
The banks of this city
have already asked him
to help you and have of
fered to help him help you.
But you must help, too,
and exert every effort to
have every friend you
have subscribe. You must
do your part to aid your
country, to protect your
job and make it better,
to protect your family and
help US all protect the
families and the workers
Of the nation.
You can buy a $50 Lib
erty Loan Bond --you can
do your bit. You can pay
S2.5O a week for twenty
weeks. Then you have
saved against a rainy day,

pays you interest. You

ant as it is, is only a part Of the
solution of the food problem. 1t is
of the first importance tltat we take
care Of what has been raised and
make it available for consumption.
This task is Of peculiar urgency with
reference to our perishable farm pro-
ducts. 1t is essential not only that
adequate measures be taken to Sc
cure their conservation but also that
the Department Of Agriculture re-
double its efforts to assist prOduC-
ers in the matter of marketing.
l am informed that in many sec
tons in which fruits and vegetables
have been produced in abundance the
people already are canning and dry
ing them in large quantities. But
we should be content with nothing
short of the perfection of organiza-
ton and should be unwilling that
anything should be lost. In this hour
of peril, l am concerned, as 1 know
you are, with the necessity OF avoid
ing waste. Every bushel Of potatoes

tables properly put by for future use.

much 10 our insurance of victory,
add that much to hasten the end of
this conflict, To win we must have
maximum efficiency in all directions.
We can not win without complete and
effective concentration Of all our eff
forts,
We can all aid by increasing our
consumption of perlshable products.
Such of them as We can efficiently
utilize, we must utilize, and, by so
doing, relieve the strain on our store
of staples. We must aim to consume
these things locally so far as posi-
bic and thus relieve the pressure on
transportation agencies, freeing them
for the more efficient handling OF
products required for military pur-
poses. What we can not presently
consume we must conserve.
The service we are asking the peo-
pie to render in this matter is a pub
lie service. 1t is one primarily for
the household. Upon the housewife
much of the burden of the task will
fall. I join you in your appeal to
the women of the Nation, whether
living in city. town, or country, to
devote their time, so far as it may

orable appeal from President Wilson
to the Romen of the Nation, wheth-

Mr. Secretary and Gentlemen Of
the Committee: l very earnestly de-
sire to commend your plans and to
second your efforts to secure the con-
servation of SURPRISES Of perishable
food products. Out Of the depths Of
their patriotism the farmers of the
Nation gave an immediate and effec-
tive response to by appeal to increase
production. Providence favored them
and we have not only the prospect
of inI eased crops of a number OF
staples but also the certainty of a
large production Of fruits and vege-
tables.
