The Third Liberty Loan

The campaign for the Thirt
Liberty Loan has closed with some
100000 Americans purchasing
about $4,000, 100000 of bonds.
Hundreds of thousands of indi-
vidual citizens, thousands of cor
porations and associations, and
practically every newspaper and
bank In the country gave lib
orally of their time, space, effort,
and money to make the loan a
success. The response of the
people of the country was COM
mensurate with the appeal made
to them.
One great feature of the loan is,
its wide distribution. The farmers
Of the country, the people living
IN rural communities, small towns,
and villages, not only subscribed
literally to the loan but subscrib-
ed promptly. In fact, to a very
great extent rural communities
were earlier in making up their
quotas than the larger cities. Sec
Rotary McAdoo well calls this wide
distribution Of the loan among the |
people the soundest financing in
the world.
The sale Of the Liberty Loan
Bonds IS only one-half Of the
transaction. The government in
lig ne bonds y collecting /
al Hon TIE people Ffon1

now on until the the bonds are
finally called in and paid for the
government will be disbursing
money to the people. 1t is going
to be of incalculable benefit not
not only to the individual bond
holders but the country at large
that these annual interest pay
ments and the final payment of
the bonds are going to be widely
distributed among the body of the
people, not paid only to large f.
nancial institutions, nor paid in
large amounts to the jewellers in
cities, nor paid to banks and other
corporations, but paid to individ-
ual citizens, the rank and file of
the American people.
The Liberty Loan is going to
prove a great national blessing to
the nation and to the people of the
nation. Through it is to be en-
forced against our enemies the ir-
resistible might of this invincible
republic, bringing victory to
America and her allies and that
liberty and justice and civilization
which they are fighting for.
1t is a great bond between the
people, and bringing economy
md saving and prosperity to mil
ions of American homes.

LOYAL LABOR

Is organized labor loyal to the 60
vernment? Since the beginning of
the war this seems to have been the
big question and it still remains un-
answered to a very large extent.
There has been no big outstanding
Nact to prove the loyalty of labor
nnd there have been many instances
tending to establish the opposite, SO
FAR. at least, as the western part of
the United States is concerned.
The real truth of the matter seems
20 be that all the agitation in the
"anks of labor has been concentrated
in the west and in the eastern sec
tons of the country there is very
little industrial trouble. The rank
and file of labor in the west has
been blindly following few lead
rs who are attempting to use tie
war as a means of unionizing the
entire countrywithout regard to the
needs of the government. In the
2ast better understanding of the
war situation has been reached.
1t is only a question of time when
organized labor throughout the en-
tire nation will kick out the agitat-
ors and the disloyal men who have
constituted themselves leaders.
when this is done there will be no
labor.

"are limited to One-Quarter barrel
lots and to farmers from one half to
one barrel, depending upon the dis

larger supplies than one barrel re-

permission must be secured either
