LABOR AND CAPITAL UNITE
All Glasses Must Buy Liberty Bonds
 to Help Win the War.

We are face to face with the most critical situation in AmericAn affairs. The time has come when each indi- Nidual. no matter what his or her call. iA. must do his utmost to help in winning the war to rid the world Of German autocraey, to protect his home and the love of freedom. and 10 insure the coming generations that same freedom which is so dear 10 every American citizen.
 In this eauee there must be no Iass distinction; the laborer and cap. italist are equally interested and af. fected, and each must. for the time forget self and stand shoulder to shoulder in helping the government III this crisis.
 A war cannot be conducted without money. Less than 10,0o0, ,000 people subscribed to the first two Liberty Loans. There ought to be 30,00O ,00C subscribers to the Third Liberty Loan
 Let us all put up a solid front of complete and determined cooperation and see to t that the present Liberty Loan is fully and promptly subscribed

We are in better shape to subscribe to this Loan for il comes at time when We have more of the years products turned Into cash.
 Let us subscribe with willingness that will make criticism impossible, that will show Unele Sam the farm CTS of America are behind him with their money as we'll as with their blows, Every dollar subscribed :o tho Liberty Loan helps to bring e kaiser's day of reckoning nearer.

Surprise Attack Goes Over
 With Theatre Audience.

Dermotters always glory in the spir- 1t and ability which it takes to put over patriotic stunt of any sort, and 1t is with much qualification that We read the following incident concern ing former Dermott boy. IS related in the Fort smith Times Record" last week:
 Money talked at the rate of more than one thousand dollars minute at the New Theatre Thursday night when $l5. I50 was subscribed to the Third Lib erty Loan Bonds in exactly E minutes Ben kimpel also talked He pleaded the government case so eloquently that the immense audience that filled the playhouse recovered from the amazement of the surprise attack and replied with the rapid firing guns of bond subscriptions.
 The immense audience that had just seen Fort Smith s favorite movie star. Billie Burke, in that engaging actress s latest success, a story with a war time setting that inspired patriotism were tremendously surprised when n voice called out in the semi darkness Just a moment please = Everyone sat at attention. Mir kimpel asked for fifteen minutes and lights Both were granted. He had just made a wager, he explained, that he.could sell Sl0, GOO worth of Liberty Bonds in l5 minutes. He must make good
 And then began an exciting race be. tween minutes and subscriptions. In his enthusiasm Mir. kimpel mixed his figures and asked for SD, GOO in ten minutes quite as often as the other way round The audience applauded wildly while subscriptions for $50. Sl00, $500 and 5000 bonds were called out Three minutes of the fifteen remained when the $l0, 900 goal was reached. Then a man announced that he would buy $2, 800 worth of bonds if volunteers would take like amount and bring the sale to $l5, 900. Another race against time began, responses coming from gallery, balcony and lower floor Sev- eral who had already bought bonds in creased and in some instances doubled l the first purchase.
 When the time limit expired Fort Smith was just Sl5, 75O nearer the quo ta and the spirit of patriotism in the purchase of Liberty Bonds had received an impetus that should take the city safely lover the top

BANK DEPOSITS NGT
 DEPLETED BY LOANS
Desplte the Fact That Billions Have Been Invested in Liberty Bonds,
 an Increase Is Shown.

There is in some sections fear on the part of the banks that Liberty Loan subscriptions will tend toward a material decrease in bank deposits.
 To offset this fear the following summary of the statemen- of the Comptroller Of Currency. dated April l5, 1918, should correct this impress sion
 This statement, naturally, applies only to national banks, but is doubt less also true of state banks and trust companies
 On March Is. 1917. the total depos. Its of national banks were Sl2,95t,- GOO ,0U0, or nearly IS billions.
 In spite of the sale of Liberty Bonds since that time of s5.SSo. 100000. or about six billions. the deposits in na- tional banks on March 4, 1918. show an increase of s1.4so 5s9 900. or near ly one and one-half billion. as com. pared with March 5. 1917.
 The total amount of Liberty Bonds owned by national banks on March 1918. was s433,73S,000. This is less than $500
 This amount of Liberty Bonds owned by national banks on March {, 1918, Is only about 7a per cent of the total of the first and second Lib. erty Bond issues.
 These facts should be given by the directors of publicity 10 all banks in their localities
 IL Is the most accurate and forcible evidence of the effect upon bank de nosits of the Liherty Bond sales.

DON'T BURY YOUR BOND
Deposit It m Your Bank and You Can Raise Money on IL If You Need.

When you and your neighbor have bought your Liberty Bonds don't take them home and hide them in the cup board Take them to your country banker and have him give you certifi. cates of deposit for the bonds Your banker can take these bonds to a Fed eral Reserve bank and borrow money for your use in case you suddenly find yourself in need of funds.
 Hiding a bond in your stocking at this time is just as bad as hoarding money. Keep the bonds and the money in circulation and the country Will pull through this crisis all right
