Naturally President Carranza will have
h certain number of soreheads to dispose
of. There are always patriots 90 attach
ed to a revolutionary cause who are dis
satisfied because they don't get high of
fices or other rewards which they deem
are due them, and so consider it the proper
thing to start another revolution There
never could be enough presidencies or 9th
er dignities to 20 around to satisfy all
such aspirants, and perhaps it is as well,
SO that their patriotism may be put TO the
test in the beginning. For the true test of
patriotism is forgetfulness of ones own
ambition, in consideration Of the welfare
of ones country. We may trust President
Carranza to deal with such characters eff
fe~ctualiy.

The American people are going To sub
scribe the amount required to Loaf the
second Liberty Loan. This is a ~foregone
conclusion. This means That all of Us who
possible can raise the price of a Liberty
Bond will END the amount TO the govern
ment on these bonds. This being so, then
why not do it at oncef Let Us not wait
to be urged and exhorted 10 do our duty.
The loan Is one of the very safest invest
ments one could make. Four per cent
bonds are considered a desirable invest
ment at any time. This is as much interest
rs the saving banks allow qn deposits. You
are only saving your money when You buy
. government bond, and you get four per
cent interest on the amount which you save
by buying a Liberty Bond. Get this idea
clearly fixed in your mind, and then GO
straight 10 your banker and buy a Liberty
Bond.
