BOND BUYERS ONE OUT OF s,x

One out of every six persons, in the United States bought Liberty. bonds of the third loan last April and May. The exact number of subscrib- CTS was 1s,s0s, 1925, or 17.7 per cent of the estimated population.
 New York State led in the volume of subscription. Delaware subscribed the highest percentage of the assign ed quota. and the City of Washington furnished the largest proportion of It's population as bond buyers.
 This was disclosed in g Treasury report of the third loan subscription by Federal Reserve Districts. States and principal cities. The loan total, s4176. .516 $50, represents an aggregate oversubscription of 1S8 per cont of the ss,oOO, o0o0,O00 goal.

they fight to establish the supreme principle that mankind shall be free and th-.t liberty and justice shall be triumphant throughout the world.
 If Autocracy should win in this titanic struggle for human rights, all our accomplishments of the past would be swept away and tyranny and oppression would be rampant through out the world. Should that come true, no class would suffer as much as the men and women of labor, and it will come true if we fail to support our Government in the present crisis.
 A government can be no Stronger than the people living under it make it, and if we fail to respond to our Governments appeal for help our war policy must collapse and our country men lover there" must fail, and in that event it is inevitable athat the forces of autocracy shall be triumph ant over the forces of democracy. Thus it is that every working man and working woman in America should buy Liberty Bonds.
 Money invested in Liberty Bonds is as safe as our Government itself. The Illinois district of the United Mine Workers of America has purchased $600.000 worth of the first, second and third issues of bonds out of district funds and we propose to buy $500, ,000 worth of the fourth issue. Our various local unions have made purchases az gregating millions and am certain they will buy bountifully of the fourth issue. The rate of interest paid on such investment is fair However, the paramount reason why we should buy Liberty Bonds is because the fate of the world is in the balance, the free dom and happiness of humanity is at stake, and the sale of Liberty Bonds is one of the mediums through which our Government must raise the money to feed and equip and to care for our sons and brothers, our relatives and associates, our countrymen-"theb boys over there"-while they fight to crush autocracy and to implant in it's stead liberty and justice for all the peoples of all the nations of the world.

GASOuNELEss JAY
 SAVINGS FEED WHOLE
 ARMY FUR 48 HOURS.
Sunday Abstinence of Autoists Means 2,eoo,0oo Hand Grenades
 for Pershing.

When the American people locked up their automobiles for gasless Sun day on Sept. 1 they saved enough money to provide Gen. Pershing's army with 5000 machine guns casting $260 each.
 They saved enough money to buy food for the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe for two whole days.
 They saved enough money to pro vide Gen. Pershing's army with 2.sO0.- 900 hand grenades.
 They saved enough money to pay for 35.784 completely equipped rifles of the type the American infantryma1 carries when he goes into conflict.
 A Big Saving.
 These figures were revealed in a Treasury statement, issued recently. appealing to the American public to turn it's savings from abstinence into War Savings Stamps or set them aside for investment in Liberty Bonds. The Treasury statement reminded the pub lie that these savings which are being effected are of no value to the govern rent in it's prosecution of the war unless they are made available for it's use.
 The Fuel Administration reported that the saving of gasoline on the sec ond gasless Sunday amounted to 5.000.00O gallons, which, valued at 25 cents a gallon, meant a saving to American pocketbooks of $1,250.000. in transportation alone this meant a saving of 626 tank cars for an average haul of 200 miles.
 The rubber saved by giving tires a siay's fest would be sufficient to equip }, 800 motor trucks for the American army with tires capable of running 5000 miles.

Liberty Medals

In the ranks when soldier per. forms some heroic act he is awarded a medal. In the civilian army when some person. buys Liberty Bonds, joins the Red Cross or the Y. M. C.. A., he or she is given a badge.
 It is an honor for person to wear one of these badges, just as it is for the soldier to wear his. The aver age American citizen can and should wear three of these badges-the Lib erty Loan, the Red Cross and the Y. M, c. A.
 They show that the wearer is far sighted enough to see that if we are to do our part in helping to relieve the Hun-infested lands of Europe, and make the menace of the spiked helmet thing of the past, we must have soldiers. and that soldiers alone can not accomplish this.
 Uncle Sam needs the money ob- tained through the purchase of Lib erty Bonds to make ammunition. feed, clothe and to furnish other essential things needed in the maintaining of an army.
 We must have the Red Cross to look after the families of the soldiers, furnish bandages. nurses and other things to make army life comfortable.

.DO VAST BORROWINGS 0F J. $. ID WIN WAa
 CAUSE YOU WORRY!
Think of the Many Opportunities for investment Which the War
 
 Loans Offer. yxs.

The vast borrowings of the govern, ment made necessary by the war have startled a good many patriotic but short-thinking people. Involuntarily perhaps, they feel that an exacting de- mand is being made on everybody and they grow uneasy and restless.
 Private and public expenditures are being curbed right and left so that the government may have more and moro money.
 M But the money is staying right here in this country. And the great gov- ernment war issues afford excellent investment opportunities to the busi- ness man. He can loan his capital to the government at 4k per cent inter- est, rate which after the war will make a security of such safety gilt edged, and he can get his capital back at time when it's purchasing power will be greatly increased.
 Financiers Study Situation.
 No doubt these factors will .e ap- preciated in time and the bonds will ultimately find their proper masket levels" says the Wall Street Journal That financial journal goes, on to gay that the under-par prices quoted dur ing the summer, on some of the issues reflect only temporary condition. It says further that every effort is being made and will be made by the Score, tary of the Treasury to see that all legislation which has to do with money will work out to the benefit of the bondholder.
 Finanoters who have studied the loan sales, which have been compare lively few, report that large number of the transactions a.s started by mis- informed holders c' ~mall amounts of bonds who do not understand the tax statutes.
 "A great many sE,all investors ia the 4 and AZ per ccu.. bonds, ,"lsays the Wall Street Journal, "do not seem to realize that their securities for the most part possess tine same merits as the tax free 31s pc: cent boads of the First issue The 4s and 4As are fully as free from the normal income tax as the 31ks and no surtax or excess prof it's tax now effective or later to be enacted will be colsectible on As ana 4As unless the owner has more thar $5, 900 worth"

Buy Liberty Bonds to tie Limit, k !, Plea of President Harrington,
 of Miners Union
By FRANK HARRINGTON.

Every working man and working woman in America should buy Liberty Bonds to the limit of their ability to do so. They should buy until it hurts, and after it begins to hurt they should keep. on buying until their purchase becomes personal sacrifice for the reason that upon the outcome of the war raging depends the future fate of the workers of America.
 Forced to enter a conflict that could no longer be avoided with safety to the liberties of the people of America and the democracies of the world, our country is now involved in the most appalling tragedy that has overtaken mankind since the beginning of time The issue involved is:
 Shall Democracy or Autocracy rule the world? Shall the peoples of dem ocracies, where democracies obtain.
The Little River news., 1918-08-10
A coIored Man,s Example.

It was a wise and patriotic old col pred American who refused to sell his s100 Liberty Bond for $96, because he would not give up the United States promise (his bond) to pay him s10O with interest for the United States promise tcurrency) to pay him $96, and who refused to sell the same bond for $102, because, he said, that the $1O2 must be counterfeit or else the would-be purchaser would not be will .ing to give 1t for only $10oy It is safe 70 say y'that therp are no gold bricks e wildcat securities among that Amsri ,ran's assets.

BAD NEWS FOR THE KAISER

Flood of Dolsars Loosod by Fourth
 Loan to Bring Back Victory.
 We here at home have an opportun- ity to send the Germans some bad news. The Germans have great re- spect for money; they know its value in waging war. They know, too, that the support the American people give a Government loan measures largely the support they give their Govern nnent, the moral as well as the finan- scial support they give their armies in the field
 A Tremendous subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis tressing to the German people as de feat for them on the battle field, and 1t will mean as much. It spells their defeat 1t breaks their morale; it means power to their enemies. A subscription to the loan is 2 contribu- tion to German defeat and American victory.
