WORKERS HAVE MORE AT
 STAKE THAT: ANY OTHERS

strong appeal a the Workingmen of this country to participate in the second Liberty Loan to tse fullest ex- tent has been made by William B. Wilson secretary of labor.
 Secretary Wilson points out that the workers have more al stake in this great conflict ttxn any others, because it is only in democracy that the common people can come into their own"
 The great European war in which We are now involved came to the peo- pie of the Western Hemisphere as a terrible shock, and to no portion of the people did it come as greater shock than to the Wage-earners of the United States. They believed in and wanted international peace. but they wanted il on basis of international justice which would insure the right of our people to govern themselves. When the Imperial German Govern nent undertook to lestroy the lives of our people and to impose rule Of conduct upon us without our consent In places under the jurisdiction of the United States government, there was no course left but to resist" Secre tary Wilson said
 '"fhe workers have more at stake in this conflict than any others, be- cause 1t Is only in democracy that the common people can come into their own. The great privilege Is not given 10 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 privi- legged to carry our flag on the battle fields of Europe. The impulse of sac rifce for the common good is sending the youth of our country into the trenches in defense Of Liberty, hu- manlty and democracy.
 "To those of IS who must of neees- sity remain at home to till the soil harvest the crops, man the factories, mines and mills. the way is open for additional service. We too must make sacrifices. 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. Finances for that purpose must be secured i'm mediately from he sale of bonds. The workers can help by contributing their mite.
 Combined Efforts Will Win
 ''I am reminded of the fable of a great drought when the crops were wasting for the want of water, and 9ne little raindrop said 10 another in the clouds, I would like to go down to he relief of the farmer and his per ishing crops. but am so little 1t would be useless And another little rain 1rop replied, It would be useless for eou to go down alone, but let us all 50 down and our combined effort will bring the needed relief Teh advice Was accepted and a beautiful shower poured down on the land and the erops were saved for the harvest
 And so 1t is with the workers. The funds each has available is but drop, but all of the drops together can make shower of funds that will furnish the needed supplies, bring joy to the hearts of the boys at the front and ,onsternation 10 our enemies" Secre- tary Wilson declared

largest head of lettuce, it is believed,

In addition he peddles few vegetables
daily, and realizes a goodly revenue
from his labors in this manner.
