SHORTAGE IN SALE
OF LIBERTY BONDS.

cannot weigh the profits of an invest
ment against the lives of some of my
fellow citizens. The people of the
country have declared this war
through their representatives.. They
had to declare it. They had to fight
Germany now or later. 1t would be
easier to win now than when fighting
alone. They have got to win this wer
or suffer the humiliation, oppression
and torture of Belgium. The fight
hangs in the balance and the people
might as well know it, The way to
win it is to strike now and strike as
hard as the American government can
strike. The men of my State of legal
age are loyalty offering their lives,
and our other citizens will unhesitat-
ingly lend their government all the
money that they can spare. | pity

their lives cannot fearlessly and joy

Up TO last night Nevada was $780,
600 short in its allotment of Liberty
Bonds, which was placed at $2.500, 900,
but it is probable that before the sale
closes at noon of Friday of this week
the entire amount will have been
subscribed.
Winnemucca has done exceedingly
in this respect but in sending men To
the army that has not been exceeded
by any community in the State, ac-
cording to population. AT the close
of business last Tuesday. total sales
aggregated $43,S05. and since that
time more than $4,000 more has been
subscribed. with good prospect OF
the total reaching $50. 200 by Friday
noon.
In the country at large the loan has
been a disappointment. OF the twelve
Federal reserve districts of the coun-
try, New York is the only one that
has come up to its minimum allot-
ment; and the San Francisco district.
which includes Nevada, has made the
poorest showing. But had all the
states embraced in the district done
as well as Nevada, the district would
have been well up towards the head OF
the list.
However, this is no time for conf
parisons. The government needs the
money, and will have it. The people
have been given an opportunity to
loan the money at savings-bank rates
of interest. and if they do not see fit
to avail themselves of the generous
offer. taxation will be the only rem
edy left.
