DUTY, BUYS BONDS
[Continued from First Page.l


149; a he is being given a last
chance to-day to get in line. The
subscriptions totaled in the local
committees report do not include
those the employees made in their
home towns. Nor does the Capitol
total include some funds which are
to be invested in Liberty Bonds by
certain state boards.
How About That Twelfth?
The question was asked at Liberty
Loan headquarters this morning:
What sum of money should l put
in Liberty Bonds if l want to class
myself as simon-pure patriot"
The answer was this:
The income of the United States is
SS6, 1000, 1000 per year. The call
for the Third Liberty Loan is $4,000
600, O,OOO-or one-twelfth the income
of the country. Hence the man who
invests a twelfth of his income in Lib
erty Bonds is simon-pure, unadul-
terated, hundred per cent. 4 No. /,
ne plus ultra patriot.
Buttons Ready Soon
There has been an unavoidable de-
lay in getting Liberty Loan buttons
to Harrisburg; and tiring of waiting
the local committee Monday morn

delphia to bring buttons home with
him. on Tuesday morning, there
fore, team captains and other bond
sellers can get the buttons with
which TO supply those who bought
bonds.

to-day were TO the effect that no.

astic meeting last night. at which
Recorder James Lentz and Attorney
