'T note with mingled feeling the re-
turn of the hand organ in our streets"
said, an. observer SIM the New York
Times, "and I think that the coming
back of this 'umpty-umptys' musicless
ilisturber of serenity can also be laid
to the war. At any rate, It's only war
songs5and ballads they grind ont: E .
ABOUT six years ago the streets
used to be full Of these hand organs.
Sometimes the organists would play
the Instruments full capacity Of six
rolls-the 'Marseillaise' always being
one of them-and then again, If coins
failed to be thrown; you'd get, perhaps,

thought the owners of the hand organs
used to keep tab on houses where they
rsually got something, and pass the
word to the fraternity, because I've
known six organs to begin 'umpty-

plan, however, which put music into
everyone's reach, and the arrival in

proved too much for the hand organ
lists, and for the last five years they
have been in retirement. Where they
went and what they did in their re-
tirement is not 50 interesting to me as

that they were remarkable for gaudy

ever, are more: sober in raiment, most
OF them running. to severe black.

THE NEW BUTTONS
Rules Governing Their Distribution
Should be Strictly Observed.


AS a Liberty Loan button is a
badge of honor. signifying not only
that its owner has purchased at least
one bond, but is proud of having thus
underwritten Uncle Sam, ii is i'm
portant hat this emblem shall not be
cheapened by passing 1t out indiscrim-
inately. Therefore, the following
rules will govern the distribution of
buttons in the city of Philadelphia !:
The wearing of the button proves
that the owner has made at least the
first payment for his bonds.
He therefore receives 1t where he
makes that payment and when he
makes that payment.
Solicitors are not permitted to take
cash. Any solicitor who asks you for
cash and gives you a button is not au-
thOrized to do so. and should be re-
ported at once to Liberty Loan Head
quarters.
Therefore. there are only two places
in Philadelphia where you can get a
Liberty Bond Button.
First-At a bank (including trust
company, etc..
Second-At the industrial plant
where You work, if the payment is de-
Quoted from your wages.
Get your button now. Wear it
throughout the campaign.

YOU COUNT IN ONE WAY ONLY

Never, so much as now, has the in
dividual counted for so little.
Individual rights, individual privi-
leges, individual responsibilities have
given way to the greater considera-
ton. the welfare of the people as a
whole.
For nations, not peoples or races,
have taken in hand the destinies of
the world. The individual has been
~pre-emptoriiy put aside.
Whether liberty shall live or perish
from the earth is for determination
in the aggregate. 1t is not for any
one man to say.
The Kaiser soon is TO realize this.
But there is one way in which you
can count.
One way in which you may still
make yourself felt throughout this
st~orm-tossed world.
You can make your little individual
contribution TO the cause of freedom,
of world democracy, of permanent
peace.
You can buy a Liberty Bond.
You may otherwise be s%ubOrdinated,
effaced, Shunted into comparative
oblivion and made to feel that you
no longer count.
But here you a take your place
you can buy Liberty Bonds!

LIBERTY F0 D PRIMER
EVERY MAN MUST SPEED UP

Never so much as right now has
man to put every ounce of his energy
into is job to bring his productive
ability up to Its highest mark, and to
keep it there.
Never has so much been demanded
of him, and never has he been so well
paid for what he does. Nor has his
financial condition. generally speaking,
eve been better.
Never mas his part in the national
welfare beer greater.
For upon what he produces by the
work of his hands must in a great
measure come success in the winning
of this war and the perpetuation of
IL free government. Without cloth
ing, the supplies, the armament and
guns, the shrapnel and shells which
he is making. the coal he digs and the
hundred and one, other things that
boys ut the front cannot strike their
hardest and most telling blows.
And not the least of the duties Of
the workingman is TO appreciate this.
Once approaching il he will gauge his
actions accordingly.
Before the war the normal produc-
tive capacity of the United States was
abont $4,000 OO, 600. Some 100000
men have been withdrawn from pro-
ductive enterprises and sent to the
front. And the demands of the war
have pushed the productive require
ments far and away in excess of for
mer figures.
So with 100000 men taken from
the mines and workshops the former
standard of productiveness must yet
be surpassed. and this may be done
only by every man staying on the job.
giving it every ounce. of his energy
and speeding up the output to the
very limit of human capacity.
This means that every man must
speed mp He must do his level best
every minute of the day.
BUY your Bonds and help end the
war.

SHEAVES AND SHELLS

Along the Vesle river the shells are
falling by the thousands into the
strongholds of the enemy. They are
exacting a terrible toll of life from
the German ranks. They are forming
barrages behind which the Yanks are
pushing forward. always forward.
They are demolishing trenches and
barbed wire entanglements. Occasion
ally they are demolishing an enemy
ammunition dump. They are beating
the Hun backward toward the Rhine.
And over thousands of fertile acres
through this broad land the sheaves
are likewise falling-into the yawning
mouths of the threshfng machines.
Streams of golden grain are filling
the granaries and elevators. The
yield has been exceptional. Few are
the fields that have not set a new
production mark. And the price is
better than it has been in many a de-
cade.
Like the Shells. the S3ee. IS will
help in beating back the Hun.
For not only will they furnish sus-
tenance to the allied armies in the
field. They will also contribute ma
terially in furnishing the militant sup
plies of warfare. Hand-in-hand the
sheaves and shells will serve.
The farmer has done well his part
in production. He will reap hand
somely in profits upon his seasons
work. And having done so he will
he in better shape than ever to help
his country further through the pur.
chase of Liberty Bonds.
And his country, more than ever
now, expects him to do this,

WISHING WON'T DO!

BY T. J.. MULVEY.

Do you want US to win this war?
Well. just saying so isn't going TO
do it. Mere wishing it isn't going to
do it. eitherl You've got to act!
This isn't the old-time war we used
to read about in histories-a profess
sional sort Of thing between profess
sional soldiers-at least, it's not that
kind OF Tyar on u side. It's the civil
lized world-the plain people of the
decent nations Of the world against
an Over-bearing, waT-mad race drunk
with the lust of conquest and of its
superiority. Germany thought
and wants to keep on t~hinking-that
she was IT. Well, she's not. because
the decent nations Of the world want
to live their lives in their own way
the United States among the rest.
And there's only n way to make
that clear to Germany-and to our
selves; and that way is to overwheIn
Germany, and to do ii at once.
Now, then, that's your affair, just
as much as IT'S the affair of your
Boys over in France and elsewhere.
