Fred Musfeldt, president Of the Roes
Island Liquor Dealers association. n.
day when informed of the closin,
order issued by the government
1.-The saloon men in the restricted
area will obey the orders OF the INV.
eminent to the letter. In the past !,
l have been informed, the saloon men
of Rock Island have cooperatsd Win
the government forces in the pressnt
war emergency in every way possible
It Is a known fact that the saloon.
keepers in general did not sell liouo,
direct to the soldiers. but that It VA
secured from other sources. It ID nat
for us to discuss the merits Of this
order, but to obey the law. We real.
ize that the government agents WIN
issued this order. and who will see
that the order is enforced, have nd
personal feelings against the local
saloon men. The law shall and mu,t
be obeyed."
Mr.. Musfeldt refused to discuss what
effect the closing of Sc saloons in the
city would have on the wet organiza-
ton in the coming local option flgh.
1.-THE matter was thrust on US 30 sud
denly that all of our members are Il
sea. Only the future can determine
what the effect will be-"
Under terms of the order the saloon
keepers must take all liquor out Of
their places of business, but they will
be given reasonable amount Of time
to accomplish this. Not drop shall
remain in any saloon in the restricted
area.
The government orders coming q
suddenly as they did. means heays
blow to the barkeepers financially. A
number of them purchased Thousands
OF dollars worth Of whisky at the time
the government issued the order to
stop distilling it. Last fall the saloon
men paid a heavy tax on this excess
supply Of liquor.
| Now, in a majority of the cases, the
liquor can only be returned to jobbefs
who will accept it at a discoun;
and in many cases it will mean big
personal loss. To many Of the saloon.
keepers who paid inflated prices fol
their goods within the last few yeara
il seems a big loss.

HOW THE MAN AT HOME FIGHTo

To the one who must do his nghtlng in the trenches back here at home 1t almost seems as though he really were in the trenches, throwing bombs, max ing charges and, always, going over inc ton. when he knows exactly what the money he is putting into Liberty Bonds is doing for things on the other side Then when he reads the papers he may think it was his bomb that was nlaced in that hero's hands, or that IL was he who gave that soldier ms He knows, then, that he really is fighting in the trenches, that the more he gives the harder he nghts and the sooner the day will come when the victory is won and he can throw up his hat and shout for the boys as they come sailing home.
 One S1O0-bond will provide the burst ing charge of T. N. T. for one 14-inch high explosive shell. Or, 1t will Duy five incendiary bombs. Or, 1t Will buy continent cans for three companies or soldiers. This latter may seem not at all warlike and very insignificant at best. but let him go without salt and pepper for just one day and no other proof will be needed that these com mon articles have an important place even in winning this great world war the war for democracy, whose aim IS to down the tyrant and make 1t pos sible for each one of the great human family free to develop himself to the utmost of his talent and ability.

VALUE OF MONEY.

That three great public works should have been constructed in this country during the Civil War which ranks as one of the most exhaustive and expensive wars in history, IS proof conclusive that economic pros perity need be in no serious danger in the present war. The three great works were the building of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Rail roads and the laying of the Atlantic cable. The telegraph was developed as a military necessity during the war and came into general use.
 The United States is now rich in money. As things stand, her citl- zens can we'll afford to more than subscribe the full amount of the new Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan, and from the economic standpoint, do 1t as a safe and sane personal invest ment. As the bonds can be bought on the s1 a week instalment basis every citizen can have share in this prosperity to an extent never before offered to the American people. Say ings thus invested bring good yearly interest and furnish capital that will be of higher purchasing value when the bonds come due than the same amount of money is today.

Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan
 Facts ard .7ig1wcs
PROSPERITY FOLLOWS WAR

Expansion and invention are the historical children of war even In de- feated countries. Following the Civil War came the opening of the West and the industrial development of the South. Manufacture and agriculture in France and Germany were stimu- lated by the Franco Prussian War. Spain awoke both politically and in dustrially as an immediate result of the Spanish American War while Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines each saw a development of agricul- ture and commerce before unknown. Economic development and serious attempt to secure for her products a place in the worlds markets came to the fore in Japan following the Russo Japanese War and Russia at that time saw the beginning of in dustrial occupation.
 Just what roads progress Will take after this war cannot now be definitely stated, but it seems certain that they will be many and that the country will enter upon period of greater prosperity than it has known.
 The advent of those prosperous days can be hastened by prompt and liberal purchase of Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds.

WHAT A AFlFTY-DoLLAR BOND
 WILL BUY

Just how much one is doing for his country when he purchases a $50 Lib erty Bond has been computed by the United States Government in order that each purchaser may have reas- onably definite idea of what the money he is giving so freely, though it may be with much sacrifice, is doing to aid the great war which the sons of the nation are waging with that determi- nation which admits of no surrender, in far-off lands across the sea.
 He who purchases one $50 bond may have the satisfaction of knowing that that sum of money will send 1000 three-inch trench mortar shells on their way; or, 1t may provide the burst ing charge for 100 threeinch trench mortar shells; or it may provide three Augmentation drop bombs; or 110 hand grenades; or 50-37 nm. shell; or two rifles; or knives, forks and spoons for an entire company of soldiers.

KEEP YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Current market prices for the sev- eral Liberty bond issues may be found on the financial page of any metropol- itan daily newspaper. Merchants or others offering to pay more or take the bonds at high prices in payment of goods, are simply trying to effect sales with large profits. Bonds so taken are usually immediately sold in the mar ket and such sales aggregating large volume have formed one of the chief clements In depressing the market and thus hampering the Government. Lib erty bond holders are advised not to pay for merchandise or other securi- ties with Liberty bonds. When bonds are to be sold it will usually be best to sell them for cash through banker
