TIE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
IL viii Open It's Campaign Sept. %
and Will Close Oct. 10.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September 2S
and close October 10. The result Of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the Tou-
tonic powers but by our enemies. 1t
will be regarded by them as O meas
ure of the American peoples support
OF the war.
The Germans know full well the
tremendous weight and Significance
of popular support of the war, of the
people at home backing up the Army
in the field. AS the loan succeeds
our enemies will sorrow; as 1t falls
short they will rejoice. Every dol
lar subscribed will help and encour-
age the American soldiers and hurt
and depress the enemies of America.
The loan will be test Of the 10y
atty and willingness, Of the people Of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion Of our men in Europe. Many

Food Commissioner Herbert Hoover
has sent out the following statement
for the benefit Of the public: "At
present prices of corn, barley and
oats, millers are or should be offering
meals and f1ours from these grains at
prices considerably below wheat -four !;
in fact cOrnmeal should be selling
from the mill door at not over twenty
five per cent less than wheat flour
and oatmeal even less ratio. White
corn flour or barley -four should be
selling at not more than ten to fifteen
per cent below wheat flour. There is
therefore absolutely no justification
for present price levels in these sub
stitutes. l would be glad if you would
give wide publicity to these facts. Re-
tailers should not take more than six
teen to twenty per cent on the sale
price for handling thes products. The
wholesale maximum margins have
been fixed as per our bulletin of April
at not over ten per cent in bulk,
therefore with thes criteria to guide
you, we would be glad to have you
follow up any prices made at higher
levels"

PUTTING BUSINESS
INTO PATRIOTISM

The feature of the present war that
is peculiarly American is the way in
which the instrumentalities of bust
ness have been placed at the service
of patriotism. The time is past for
discussion as to whether the call of
country is stronger than the call of
profit. 1t is now not a question of
putting business above your patriot
ism; it is matter Of putting business
into your patriotism.
Though our Revolutionary ances-
tors accomplished great things in max
ing America free, they had not learned
as much about subOrdinating business
to patriotism as we have learned
Writing to James Warren in 1779,
Washington censures severely the
business morality in this time. "Our
conflict is not likely to cease as soon
as every good man could wish Unless
we can return a little more to first
principles, and act little more upon
patriotic grounds, do not know what
may be the issue of the contest. Spec
ulatlon, peculation, engorssing, fore
stalling, with all their concomitants,
afford too many melancholy proofs of
the decay of public virtue"
The moral principles of men change
but little from generation to genera
ton, but the ways in which these mo-
raj principles are put into practice
change radically.

ALASkA'S SHARE IN
WINNING THE WAR

1t took her longer to get to Wash
ingtOn to learn more about the worlds
food needs than it takes the food you
save to get to Europe, yet Mrs. Allen
Shattuck came all the way from Ju-
neau, Alaska, to take part in the con-
ference in home economics directors
OF various States at the Food Admins
tration in Washington.
Mrs. Shattuck told most interest
ingly about the way food conserva-
ton had spread in Alaska. Conditions
are vastly different there dwelling
places are SO far apart, getting about
in winter is so difficult But these
are reckOned with in advance, and
are not even considered in the pro-
gram of work.
I'VE are doing our work in Alaska
through the United States Food Ad-
ministration alone" Mrs. Shattuck
said, for we have no other agencies
to help us. The women who conduct
ed the campaign worked during the
cold weather in spite of the distance
and difficulties in getting about
Our actual saving in food has real
ly been very large considering our
population. OF course, it would not
look so great to you, who have such
great numbers of people so close to-
gether. One thing that makes a differ
ence with us is that practically all our
women are hOmemakers Such Wom-
en-, l believe, are far more ready to
problem than are apartment dwellers
or those who live in hotels. We han
die the problem directly. It is taken
care of in each home, and that is why
we have a high percentage of food
cOnservers in Alaska.
1T would be an eXaggeratiOn to say
that we have almost as many types in
Alaska as we have people Yet that
statement would at least indicate the
diversity of our population. One thing,
however, that has proved to me that
patriotism and humanitarianism make
universal appeal is that all these
different types have responded with
equal readiness to the demand of food
conservation
When navigation opens we expect
to carry our work far and wide, and
we hope that there will not be a fam
lily in all our great territory that is
not doing something for the war, that
seems SO far away, but that is so close
to us because it vitality affects the
right of every man to carve out his
destiny, unhampe~ed by the demands
of despOtism and lniiitarism."
