LIBERTY BOND
ON EVERY FARM"
This the Slogan in Second Big Liberty
Loan Drive-Rural Districts
Must Do Part.

the loyalty OF UtahnS Tor drive is
being conducted from every center to
reach every individual in the state
and give them an opportunity of sub
scribing for Second Liberty Loan
Bonds. Committees have been organ
lied and are securing every country
side in automobiles in an endeavor
to see that not single home is over
looked.
Upon the results of this campaign
in the rural districts largely depends
the success of the second Liberty
Loan in Utah. Large corporations
and wealthy individuals in the bigger
cities of the state have already re-
sponded generously and considerable
more is expected from these same
sources. But the big source of sub
scriptions which has as yet been
scarcely touched is that of the pri-
vate individuals, the wage earners,
small business men and farmers Of
the state. Unless they respond loyal
ly the subscriptions of larger corpor-
atoms and of the wealthy individuals
Of the state will not save Utah from
failing to raise her quota of 100000
900.
The slogan for this campaign
among the farmers is Liberty bond
on every farm" Farmers are not ex-
pected to puy Liberty bonds in large
amounts but if every one of them will
take one or more small bonds the sue
cess of Utah's drive will be absolutely
assured.
According to the figures published
in "The Financial World" one of the
largest financial papers in the United
States, the farmers Of this country
have received in increased profits for
their products over $4,000, 100000 dur
ing the past year. This fact is cited
by Liberty Loan workers to prove
that generous response to the call
of the country for funds should work
no undue hardship upon the farmers.
The State Loberty Loan Committee
is emphatic in pointing out that sub
scribing for Liberty Bonds is not
donation. 1t is sound investment
which at the same time will prove of
wonderful service to the country in
winning the war against Germany.
The committee points out that the
bonds pay four per cent interest and
constitute the safest investment in
the world. Experience with the First
Liberty Loan has proved that Liberty
bonds may be readily converted into
cash in case necessity arises. Buying
Liberty bonds therefore although it
may require temporary sacrifice of a
few conveniences and Injuries, is one
of the most prudent things that any
individual can do.
There remains but one more week
of the draft as it may close October
9th. All subscriptions must be in by
that date. One of the great Difficult
ties which Liberty Loan committees
have to contend with is the tendency
to postpone buying bonds. The i'm
mense volume of subscriptions needed
to raise $4,000, 100000 requires a tre-
mendous amount of time to receive
and record. Every person therefore,
who intends to subscribe for Liberty
bonds should do so Immediately.
Any bank in the state of Utah will
receive subscriptions. The govern
ment permits the individuals to sub
scribe on a partial payment plan in
volving the payment down of only 2
per cent of the amount subscribed.
Sunday, October 2lst, has been set
throughout the length and breadth of
Utah as patriotic Sunday" From
every pulpit in every church and
meeting house of the state on this
Sunday will be preached the necessity
of subscribing to the bonds of the
Second Liberty Loan. Every minister
and religious speaker throughout the
entire state is urged to make his
plans Immediately for observing "Pa-
triotic Sunday" October 2lst.
The proclamation by President Will
son setting aside Wednesday, October
oath as patriotic Day" throughout
the nation when business shall cease
for few hours has met with enthus-
iastic approval on every hand and the
various Liberty Loan committees
throughout all the cities and towns of
Utah are urged by the State Liberty
