 Liberty Day
 The president has decided that Sat urday, October 12. the anniversary O the discovery of our country, shall b' known as Liberty Day" This af lords a splendid opportunity for eacl community to arouse the enthusiasm of it's citizens. and to stimulate an in tense interest in the Liberty Loal campaign.
 Each county will carry out it's owl program. and the county chairmel will make arrangements to get il touch with the people suggested b, Washington. Workers should core snond with the county chairman il their respective counties. A list o the county chairmen is herewith:

 Tt has been our custom, as you know. to select the second Friday of driy- Liberty Day.
 For the Fourth Liberty Loan we have adopted the plan sug- gested by the United States bur eau of education to designate Sat urday, October 18th. the anniver- sary of the discovery of our coun- try. as Liberty Day. The treasury department, in cooperation with the United States bureau of education. will re- quest every school district in the United States-city, town and countryside-to arrange for the celebration of the discovery of America with appropriate Harvest Home Festival.
 There is logical unity be- tween both of these ideas and the Liberty Loan. When the people of community recount the fruits of their summers labor they will naturally ask themselves what share of them they ought to in vest in Liberty bonds. When they come to realize what the discov- cry of America has meant to them personally, what it has meant for the cause of freedom and democ- racy, what it will mean for the salvation of the world in the pres | ent world tragedy. when they be- gin to feel all this, they must of necessity say. this is worth invest ing in. worth fighting for, worth making any sacrifice for.
 ITO create this state of mind is the purpose of celebrating the dis covery of America. It is our hope that the nation wide celebration will stir such enthusiasm over Americas mission in the world as to enable each community to reach at least it's quota by that day. Let every local community make this its goal and on Liberty. Day an nounce the achievement and re- joice over it.
 The bureau of education, at the request of the treasury depart ment, is preparing suggestions for Harvest Home Festival celebra- tion and has the facilities for mailing them to almost every one of the 300.000 schools in the United States. The Harvest Home Festi- val is our earliest form of Ameri- can celebration before cities were built and it would be a distinct gain to carry the idea over into city life. The characteristic harv- est of the city is not fruit or grain. but the products of social life. like commerce, arts, music, architecture. City and country communities will of course ceLe- brate the day each after it's own fashion. but the Harvest Home idea applies equally to both. What ever a community's particular type of product may be, on Lib erty Day. its aim should be to reap a harvest of dollars for democ- racy. On this day we meet not only as city or county people. but as citizens, all united for the single purpose of serving the na- tion by devoting part of our pro- ducts to its needs.
 There is something vastly in spring in the thought of all the iOcdl uelSllDOTlOOuS III l1e oHlIeu States meeting the same day on the basis of citizenship with united devotion to the ideals for which America stands. Morale is to force as three is to one said Napoleon. To mobilize the spirit of America is of paramount import ance. October 18th furnishes the occasion for expressing the na- tion's spirit in definite terms of service to meet the nations pres ent need.
 The idea is big, the opportunity is great. the time is short. Will you please use every effort to make this the most successful na- tional celebration since the war began?
 Stop This
 In contrast to our ideas of liber and fair dealing in all things:
 It was Germany that torpedoed nel tral ships.
 It was Germany that destroyed ho pital ships and field hospitals.
 It was Germany that shot hostage It was Germany that used explosiv bullets.
 It was Germany that dropped u first bombs on non- -combatants. Such outrageous war practices l Germany have allied 2S countri against her.
 The Liberty Loans will provide way to stop GERMANY.
