It is seldom one can help great cause with out personal sacrifice. But you can. These bonds are the safest, best investment in the world. Security? Why, they are first mort gage upon the United States. Every railroad in the country, every homestead, farm or pub- lie building, every industry, every income or salary, everything we own---everything you own---is pledged as collateral.
 if you can't pay cash for your bonds, you can borrow a part of the money at your bank, the bonds hank n nlsn. It is no trouble to buy Liberty Bonds; it is no trouble to pay for them. See your banker today.

Managing Director Raasch, a former

The machine says the correspondent,
has a wing spread of 1913 feet and en-
gines of 1000 horsepower.
Almost immediately after the arm
istice was signed the Stalker plant
began converting the fighting planes
on hand to commercial machines in

tails with Berlin, and dozens of planes
built entirely of aluminium are being
transformed for postal service.

I,,Iic today, shows that the seignior-
p -a was s20.53s,0o0 on s43.596,00
eth of coins minted during the year
'v5sd June 80. This means that the

these dollars have been melted up to

WATER FACTS
Editor The Journal:

Editor The Journal:
I have been asked to give Some facts
about the water plant from the time
it was established here. So here goes:
When the rates were made with the
city for the consumers, by the water
company. it was at the rate of CSC per
thousand feet. but afterward the water
company, not being satisfied, the then
city clerk was hired to change the
records so that the consumers were
charged SOC per thousand, which they
paid for about 18 years. Then it was
that we decided to issue bonds and
buy the plant or install another one
to get cheaper rates. In 1908, while
was a member Of the city council, we
had a very careful calculation made
of the cost of pumping and found that
it cost lie per thousand to pump the
water. It was also found that GER
tain parties were getting water at 10c
per thousand, a loss to the city of &c
per thousand. Now if it cost the city
12c in 1908 it will cost now about 18a
and yet the commissioners have just
published a rate of lie per thousand to
certain users, a direct loss Of &c per
thousand, and the other consumers
