TELEPHONE CAMPAIGN IS
PROVING BIG SUCCESS

An endless-chain telephone cam
paign, to get women to subscribe to
the Second Liberty Loan, has been in
augurated with successful results by
the Woman's Organization, under the
leadership of Mrs. John Holiday,
chairman, in the city of st. Louis.
ut is the duty of every woman, ="
says Mrs. Gus V. R. Mechin, president
of the St. Louis Woman's Council, ito
aid the government in placing the Lib
erty Bonds. Every woman should buy
at least one bond and sell at least
one" Mrs. Mechin has two sons in
the service.
Every woman must do her duty,
declares Mrs. F. T. Kennedy, wife of
Capt F. T. Kennedy, who now is with
in five miles of the German trenches.
"H she is not trained and equipped
for personal service to her country at
the front. she can at least inspire and
urge her husband, son or brother to do
his duty. Further than this, she can
aid in the financing of the war, to
make 1t possible for her loved ones to
win. If she cannot fight, her money
can"

THOMAS II. WEST BUYS
$250,OO0 IN BONDS

Declaring he made a subscription
much larger than he could afford, be-
cause he appreciates the great ne
cessity for the entire offering being
taken, Thomas H. West, chairman Of
he st. Louis Union Bank, made the
largest individual purchase of Liberty
Bonds Monday in ST. Louis, in the
sum of $25O,O00
In statement issued after making
the purchase, West declared he had
done so because he considered it a
patriotic duty to support the govern
ment and he believed Liberty Bonds
were ahead of every other security"
and absolutely SAFE
IF you oversubscribe you can find a
ready market for your surplus bonds, "
lie said, land if you hold them until
after the war you are almost certain
of large premium. When we stop to
think Of what our soldiers will have to
go through we should consider that
subscribing for a good security to sup
port them in the field is a very small
thing to do, and we should take ad
vantage Of the opportunity, even to
the point Of sacrifice, if necessary"

PURCHASER OF LIBERTY
BOND DOUBLY REWARDED

Purchasers of Government Bonds of
the second Liberty Loan of 1917 will
derive much comfort from the inves,
mcnt, first, because of the feeling that
they are helping the government, and
second, because of the material bene-
fits accruing from the interest paid
every six months on the bonds.
Thrift is virtue more honored in
the breach than in the observance in
this country, and the preacher of thrift
is likely to talk to unwilling ears.
For so many years Americans have
been conscious of their extravaganza,
and even somewhat proud of it, that
they have a feeling that it would be
unworthy for them to skimp.
One Of the attractive features of
the Liberty Bonds is that the pur-
chaser will not have to keep them I'm.
til they become due, but can get his
money back by selling the bonds any
day. But the great comfort that the
purchaceT will have, will be derived,
first, from the thought that he has
helped his government in it's hour
of need, and second, that the money
will be working for him days, nights
and holidays, and that every six
months it win prove that fact by a
cash payment

American People Todsy-Ars
You Responding Like a
Putnam?

The spirit which actuated Israel
Putnam more than a century ago is
what Is needed In America today, &C
cording to men who are in close touch
with the war conditions and the affairs
of the United States.
Putnam was blowing his nonetOO-
productive New England field when a
horseman dashed up and told him the
tale Of the British raid on Lexington.
II was seeding time and Putnam's
field demanded immediate care.
Did he falter or hesitate? Did he
procrastinate? No. He left his team
in the field still hitched to the pillow
and hurried away to answer the call
of his country. He did not stop to con-
slider the cost of leaving. Liberty was
at stake and he was off 70 the rescue.
Liberty Is at stake again. Your
liberty and the liberty of the rest Of
the civilized world. Every day the
rural mail brings the story with all Its
dread warning along the winding
country road to the Israel Putnams Of
today
But they are not in the fields. They
are storing their 81 and SO wheat, their
81 potatoes and their 81 corn and their
SO onions They, better than anyone
else, know how well they are respond
ing to the call of liberty.
But it is time that these men. as
well as their city brothers awake. Do
your bit in placing the second issue
Of Uncle Sans Liberty Bonds. Uncle
Sam is your friend. But he can do
only what you assist him accomplish
ing with all your might Get busy,
today. Be an Israel Putnam in your
community.

lKULTUR MUST BE ENDED
NOW FOR ALL TIME

Buy more Liberty Bonds than you
can see your way clear to paying for.
Buy them and cut your expenses and
use your savings to meet the pay
ments."
This was the message given to Mis-
souri, patriots by R. Goodwin Rhett,
president of the Chamber of Com
MERGE Of the United States, in address
ing meeting Of Liberty Loan work
ers in st. Louis.
I'VE must make a sacrifice equal to
that which our boys are making. Buy
ing bonds does not fulfill the first
principle of this sacrifice" Rhstt SAID.
Rhett declared that oratory and
publicity will not suffice to make the
bond sale a success. He advocated a
systematic canvass of every city and
every precinct in the nation.
There can be no peace as long as
kultur is q vital force in the world, :"
Rhett declared. "It must be ended
now and forever"

FARMER TO HELP MAINTAIN
FREEDOM He HELPED WIN

In the first Liberty Loan Cam
paign, many Of the farmers OF the
country were not reached, and sub
scriptions from the rural committees
were few.
There were several reasons for this,
the foremost of which was that the
loan was put out in the spring, when
they were busy with their crops and
it was difficult for the canvassers to
interview them.
Then, too, they had to borrow mon
ey for their planting. Now their crops
in, and at the present high price Of
food stuffs they should have a large
sum of money in their hands.
For a loan of a portion of that
money, the Liberty Bond campaigners
are now appealing all over the coun-
try. The various farm bureaus and
societies are cooperating and good re-
suits are expected.
When liberty came to America the
farmer helped to bring it. He carried
the gun; he contributed unsparingly
of his substance; he fed the armies.
In the present struggle for universal
liberty It Is certain he will do no less.
He has already made splendid re-
sponse to the demand for greater food
production. The first loan largely
overlooked the farmer - the efforts
were concentrated in the cities.
The second campaign should give
every opportunity for farmers as in
dividuals and their organizations to
support the government in its financial
program. 1t is the highest expression
of Americanism that all the people
should help carry the common load
in this critical hour.

ARKANSAS TENANT FARMERS
TO BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Tenant farmers Of Arkansas, who
in previous years have found 1t diff
ficult to make both ends meet, are
this year going to be liberal buyers Of
Liberty Bonds" said H. A. Morrison,
cashier of the Bank OF Commerce,
Earl, Crittenden County, Arkansas.
A ten-million dollar cotton crop in
his county alone explains why this is
to come about. Mr.. Morrison said that
his fellow citizens were showing such
enthusiasm in the new bond issue that
he came to st. Louis to arrange to
supply them with bonds.
Heretofore" said Mr.. Morrison. "the
proceeds Of the annual harvest was
not sufficient to maintain the farmers
until the next crop could be harvest
ed, and it was the custom in April to
begin buying food and other necessi-
ties on credit. The result was that IN
the fall 1t usually took about all the
farmer got for his crop to pay his
debts and get through the winter.
This year it Is different. The
planters are going to get from 80 to
45 cents a pound for cotton, whereas
before they only got from to 10
cents"
"One fine thing about these bonds
is that the farmer can use them as
legal tender. In case they need money
they will find their war bond invest
ment readily negotiable"
Crittenden County's allotment is
$1,000, but Mr.. Morrison is going to
try to dispose of s1S5, 900 worth there.
