MONEY FROM LIBERTY BONDS
STAYS IN UNITED STATES

ALI the money received from the
sale of Liberty Bonds will be spent in
the United States, according to the
Liberty Loan Committee A large part
of it will be spent for farm produce,
and the farmer who buys a Liberty
Bond will get his money back twice,
once when it is used to buy his farm
products and again when he sells his
bond
Liberty Bonds will be always easily
convertible into cash, but the wisest
men never sell their government bonds
and say they are as good a. wheat i'll
the bin" When they need money they
can always borrow on Liberty Bonds
Most bankers will loan 80 per cent OF
the face value o. Liberty Bonds, and
this beats trying to get money on per-
sonal notes at harvest time.
One of the greatest friends the farm
ers ever had, Liberty Hyde Bailey, for
mer Dean of the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture at Cornell, told
what he thinks of Liberty / onds in a
letter to the committee, saying:
81 hope that the forthcoming
Liberty Loan will be taken freely
by farmers as well as by others
1t provides an opportunity to ex-
press ones patriotism as well as
to make an investment l am in
tending to subscribe and conside,
it a privilege to do So"

TEACHERS BOOST
LIBERTY LOAN.

ESNNs
Indications that the Liberty Loan
canvass in the rural districts of New
York State is gaining Roadway are
contained In letter from NJ. C. Bur-
rift, Vice-Director of Extension Work
in Agriculture in New York, just. re-
ceived by the Liberty Loan Committee.
Mr. Burritt says that farmers yield
to none in their support of the cause
of liberty and justice, in subscribing
to the second Liberty Bond issue"
County agricultural agents and travel
ing lecturers on agriculture to the
number of 125 are behind Mr.. Burritt
in presenting reasons for subscribing
to the Liberty Loan to the farmers of
New York.
"The appeal to farmers to subscribe
to this loan should be on the basis of
patriotism and support of the govern
ment, even at personal sacrifice"
says Mr.. Burritt. "In New York State
this has not been prosperous year
for farmers as whole. Here and
there farmers have made unusual prof.
its. The majority Of New York farm
ers, however, are producing hay and
milk, the two cheapest products on the
market this season. 1t should be rec
ognized that 1t will be a sacrifice to
farmers to subscribe to this loan. But
this is only an additional reason for
subscribing. Every one should make
some sacrifice. This is little enough
compared with that made by the boys
who go to the trenches"

HE SHOULD WORRY.
"COPPERS" CARRY FIRST AID
Washington Police Provided With Re-
storatiVes to Administer to Per-
sons Who Faint on Street.

Every member of the Washing
ton police force carries when on duty
in crowds a pill box full of tiny
glass tubes of aromatic spirits of am
monia, according to the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. These are for reviv-
ing persons who faint in the street.
The tubes are about an inch long
and slightly more than an eighth of
an inch in diameter. Each has a
wrapping of absorbent cotton and
over this silk gauze covering.
Slight pressure between the fin
gers is sufficient to break the tube.
The ammonia is promptly absorbed
by the cotton about it, which also
serves to prevent the sharp particles
of glass from doing any harm. Held
beneath the nose of the person who
has tainted, the fumes of the am
monia soon revive her. The tubes
ere stored in all the patrol boxes
about the city and are carried in pa
troll wagons and police ambulances.
