A FORMER CRISIS -
IN ]. S. HISTORY
URGES BOND SALE
During Civil War Need Was Great,
but Financial System Did
Not Equal Present.
BY william chaunoey LangdOn.

l.. e. Chittenden, Lincoln's Register
Of the Treasury, tells in this Personal
Recollections of President Lincoln" Of
the anonymous Englishman who came
forward in 1862 to lend the United
States $5,OOO,0OO, and the hercuIean
efforts made to repay him.
British shlpbuilders were construct
ing two armored vessels for the Con-
federacy. Our Minister, Charles Fran
els Adams, secured the issue Of re-
straining order just in time, but it
could not be enforced until damages
had been secured by the deposit of
100000 sterling in gold coin. with
gold at 100! Where could he get it?
There was no transatlantic cable
then. When he had given up all hope
of arresting these vessels, a quiet
gentleman called upon him and asked
if he might be favored with the oppor-
tunity of making the deposit of coin
required by the order" The only con-
dition was that his name should not
be made known.
In this war many Englishmen-and
others-whose names we do not know
have supplied us with money or its
yalue-with munitions, and men, and
safety, and immunity from German
attack.
To this, our blood-bought benefit,
hundreds of thousands of anonymous
Englishmen ana Frenchmen and Ital
ians and Belgians have contributed
Shall we not repay them promptly
in kind by coming to their aid with
money and munitions and ships and
men, to the safety from German fury
of those who remain, or Of their
widows and children?
This will cost! Will YOU help?
How much? How soon? Buy Lib
erty Bond and thus pay little toward
the freedom you have enjoyed thus
far, as we'll as contribute toward the
insuring of like freedom and, we
trust, Of an even greater liberty for
all in the years to come!

The FINK and YELLOW
CARD FIXES STATUS
Both indicate sIaekers, Though One
Has subscribed-5ut Not
Enough.

Two e0lors are going to figure prom
inently in this Third Liberty Loan
campaign, Yellow and Pink. Every
person who Is financially able to buy
bond and who refuses will have his
name recorded on the yellow card
the Stacker card
In the last two campaigns for the
sale of Liberty Bonds there were many
persons who slipped quietly into their
banks and made small purchase of
Liberty Bonds, when. as matter Of
fact, by reason OF their financial abil-
ity, they should have bought ten times
as many bonds Such individuals are
considered by the federal government
as slackers, just as much as are those,
who can but will not buy any bonds
at all
In order to get permanent record
of persons of this character. the Fed
eral Reserve Director Of Sales of Iowa
has sent to every county chairman a
supply Of pink cards, upon which the
names will be recorded Of such per
sons as do not do their full duty-who
do their bit" instead OF their tut
most"
These pink cards will be carried by
every Liberty Bond salesman, and
when an individual who ought to Guy
$1,000 bond will only buy $50 bond
down goes his name on the pink card.
These cards will be handled the same
as the yellow cards--they' will be re-
viewed by the county chairman and
his executive committees. The indi-
vidual will then be given another OPP
portupity to increase his subscription
to its proper amount, and, failing in
this, the cards will be forwarded to
the Federal government for such ac-
ton as the Federal agents deem
proper.
Each state in each Of the Federal
Reserve Districts has similar plans,
and no man may be Stacker without
the knowledge of Uncle Sam.

PATRICK HENRYS
FAMOUS ADDRESS
now APPLICABLE
Liberty or Death, Issue in War Of
Revolution, Is Issue in the
Great World War.

One hundred and forty-three years
ago in the Provincial Convention at
Richmond, Va, Patrick Henry, pa
triot to the last drop of his hearts
blood, flung into the faces of his wa
vering fellow delegates his now world
famous call to arms.
mir. President" he cried. IF we
llean to preserve inViolate those in
estimable privileges for which we
have been so long contending; II we
mean not basely to abandon the noble
struggle in which we have been SO
long engaged and which we have
pledged ourselves never to abandon
until the glorious object Of our con-
test shall be attained, we must fight!
"Our brethren are already in the
field! Why stand we here idle? What
is 1t that gentlemen wish? What
would they have? Is life so dear or
peace so sweet as to be purchased at
the price of chains and slavery? For
bid it, Almighty God! know not
what course others may take; but as
for me, give me liberty or give me
DEATH"
There spoke patriot true. And he
won his fight. Liberty's struggle was
long and trying, but victory came at
last. And the shield of freedom, bla-
zoned upon the doorways of new
nation, has grown brighter and more
respondent with the passing of the
years, until it stands today an inspira-
ton for all the world.
Yet over yonder across the sea the
mailed fist of Prussian autocracy Is
raised in menace Its shadow is grow
ing smaller, but it Is a shadow still.
1t has lost some Of it's power, but the
will to strike is yet there. And all
those 'inestimable privileges" Of
which Patrick Henry spoke are threat
ened and will continue soto be until
Prussianism is crushed utterly
Our brethren are already in the
field! Why stand we idle here?"
Think but a moment on stricken
France. on pillaged Belgium, on out
ragged Serbia, on every land. upon
which the polluting hand Of the Hun
has fallen, and fancy what our portion
will be if that same mailed fist is
loosed upon our shores.
Then loosen your purse strings. Buy
Liberty Bonds,
Patrick Henry was right Death
would be immeasurably preferable.

WILL BACK UP THE
BOYS At THE FRONT
Written for the Liberty Loan orgsnl-
zation Of the Eighth Federal
Reserve District.
Rv MILDRED S. McFApEN.

BY MILDRED S. McFADEN.
We are backing up the boys at the
front,
Our soldier boys. the flower Of our
youth.
Who answered Freedoms call
And are gladly giving all
For liberty, for justice and for truth.
We are working for our heroes at the
front,
Who nobly bear the brunt Of shot
and shell.
For, backed by love untold,
And bullets made of gold
They will rescue all the world from
German He'll.
We are backing up our sailors on
the sea,
So CALAMITY a-standing by their guns,
Mid perils of the deep
Where deadly U-boats creep
To do the banefuI bidding Of the Huns!
We are backing up our birdmen at
the front,
Whose dauntless souls no sense Of
fear: can know.
Patrolmen of the sky,
Der hostile lines they fly
To guard the guns on firing line"
below.
We are backing up our service at
| the 'front.'
Where toll of pain doth mark each
victory won,
That nurse with Cross Of Red
May hover DER each bed
To soothe and comfort every mothers
son.
We are backing up our colors at the
front,
Old Glory shall never brook disgrace.
o lift it high and higher,
That its message may inspire
A spirit of worId-freedom for the race.
To back our allied forces at the front
Is the urge of our Liberty Loan
campaigns
Each Liberty Bond we hold
Is handicap Of gold
To bind the Beast forevermore in
chains.
Bring your tithes into my store
house." Freedom calls,
Make every boarded dollar do its
share;
With patriotic thrill
And zeal of Bunker Hill
Roll up millions for the boys over
there"

What is the secret of this? It is

WHAT A BOND WILL BUY
Even a $50 Investment Viii Do Much
for Some Boy "oVer
"There."

When you subscribe to the next Lib
erty Loan you not only make good
investment, but contribute in a direct
and practical way to feeding and
eQuipping the army or navy.
Here, are a few of the things even
small investment in the bonds will &C.
complish They are taken from a list
prepared by the Treasury Depart
ment, and there are many others:
One $50 bond will buy trench knives
for rifle company, or % hand gren-
AIDES, or IA rifle grenades, or 81 cases
of surgical instruments for enlisted
mems belts, or 10 cases Of surgical
instruments for officers belts.
500 bond will clothe a soldier, or
feed a soldier for eight months, or
purchase five rifles or 80 rifle gren-
AIDES, or AZ hand grenades, or 25
pounds Of etherror 145 hot-water bags,
or 1000 surgical needles.
A 500 and a $50 bond will clothe
and equip an infantry soldier for serY-
ice overseas, or feed a soldier for q
year,
Two 800 bonds will purchase a
horse or mule for cavalry, artillery or
other service.
Three 800 bonds will clothe a SOL
der and feed him for one year in
France, or buy motorcycle for ma
chine gun company.
Four 800 bonds will buy an X-ray
outfit.
One $500 bond will supply bicycles
for the headquarters company of an
infantry regiment.

Why FARMERS MUST BUY
Besides Being Patriotic, Their Invest.
ment Provides Nation With
Shipping Facilities.

Some farmers may not understand
just what is the significance of ship
building to them. They fail to see
how they are to be benefited when the
money they lend the government by
purchasing Liberty Bonds is spent for
ships that sail the seas they never
have seen.
Ships today are carrying our farm
products to Europe. If there are no
ships the farmers goods never would
reach the market. If German U.boats
were dynamiting freight cars instead
of ships the farmers crops would not
even reach the Chicago and Kansas
City markets. We must have ships to
get our produce to market Bonds will
help build them.

Why YOU INVEST IN BONDS
II lie Easier Than to Pay Tribute to-
the Kaiser and His War
Machine.

It took you long time to wake up
to the war, but, now that the ruthless
German war machine is battering at
the gates of Paris and threatening the
line of communication from England
to France, you are beginning to
realize that America also is menaced.
Failure to support the government,
which means failure to back the army
in France, would bring disaster and
shame upon every American citizen.
Invest in Liberty Bonds and receive
the interest on your money and final
return Of the principal or you will
pay tribute to the Kaiser and get moth
ing in return.

WHAT YOUR BOND WILL DO

The farmer who purchases a $1,000
Liberty Bond need not think he has
not done anything toward directly pro-
yiding the War Department with the
means to defeat the Kaiser and his
armies When the War Department
gets $1,000 it has the funds where
with to equip 25 soldiers and furnish
hem with two rifles each. These %
men may, by holding shell hole or a
lection of a trench, decide battle

KEEP THE WINDMILL GOING
investing In Liberty Bonds Keeps the
Governments Machinery
In Motion.

Every farmer has seen a windmill.
Millions of farmers own one or maybe
two. And every farmer knows that
windmill can't go without wind. There
is an old-fashioned expression about
raising the wind" meaning that one
is raising the money for some venture.
Uncle Sam Is raising the wind at
this time for one of the biggest jobs
he ever has had on his hands. 1t is
up to all of us to help out. The pur-
chase Of Liberty Bonds will make GER
tain the turning Of the machinery that
will defeat the common enemy.
