more than ever before, and we have tens of millions more to bring under the blow
 Let us stop a moment and look at this item What do We raise? Are our crops staple and in steady demand? The three great wants of man are food shelter and clothing I will not speak of the shelter except to say that our timber still stand ing is so great that if cut into boards it would make q five-foot pathway rom the earth to the sun and belt the glope at the equator with a wooden band an inch thick and almost two miles Tn Wldth It would make millions of houses, and if marketed at the low price of $2 per hun- dred would bring in s4S, ,O00, ,OO0,0O0, or eight times the amount we expect to subscribe for this loan.
 As to food and clothing, we raise one fifth of all the wheat grown upon earth. We raise one-fourth of the oats and more thar three -fourths of the corn. We raise so much cotton that if the Un6ed States should cut off it's supply three out or every five would have to go naked. We l can increase this crop by the millions or bales and cotton grows so well nowhere | else. The crop is now worth $100 and upwards a bale, and the yield of one year is more than enough to pay SIX 1 times the interest asked for this fourth Liberty Loan, and it will pay more than
 that interest for all time to come
 1 And then there is the corn crop. This 1 is so amazingly large that it's magnitude | is hard to conceive. The amount of the | crop we are now taking out of the fields l if loaded on cars at 1000 bushels to the car, would fill a train reaching clear 1 around the globe with many miles to spare. The total is about ,0Oc bushels, and during the past year corn
 has been selling from $1.50 to $2 per bush
 el At the latter figure it's value is more 1 than the amount Uncle Sam asks Tor
 this loan, and at the former it would pay | more than six times the interest on all
 of Uncle Sam's war indebtedness, with hundreds of millions of dollars to spare. If any German questions the values back of your bond. you have only to shake IT his face this great cotton blanket ol
 bury him under our annual product ol
 more than 3O00, ,000,000 bushels of corn.
 These~are the chief crops, but we car
 figure out others which will more thar
 pay all of Uncle Sam's interest The
 wheat of last year at $2 bushel brought
 in considerably more than $l,000, 900 and the oats were worth enough to paA
 twice the annual interest on all of Uncle
 Sam's bonds at the close of this drive Il The potato crop figured up in excess ol
 4OO. coo 900 bushels, and the little item O
 peanuts was worth in the neighborhoot
 of s1OO, ,O00, ,000 Our fish crop amounts tt
 upward of $1000OO,0OO and the value o1
 the meat and live stock ran into tho billions. The amount of live stock now
 on our farms is worth considerably more
 than half we shall loan Uncle Sam dur
 inf this month of October, and our meal
 producing plant is said to be worth more
 than three times the amount of this loan
 So much for the riches we pick out O
 the soil Now for the wealth we have stored away in our rock treasure vaults

(Copyright, 1918, by Frank G. Carpenter)
 Washington, D. c. N1 IT down with me and take account N of stock. We are going to lend O Uncle Sam another big slice of our
 savings and we want to be sure that our money is safe. The amount of his notes in which we have already in- vested is the enormous sum of about s10,- ooo,000,000 and now he wants S6,0o0. 00o,0o0 more. Is he honest? Is he good? And what has he except his word to back up his loans?
 As to the honesty of Uncle Sam he has kbeen borrowing money in bales for 142 3years, and he has never yet scaled a note Or been short on his interest. His sigma ture is more than scrap of white paper. It is as good as gold in any market all over the world, and there is no doubt that he will pay to the last cent if he can. But can he? The amounts he is asking El Ne so great they stagger the mind Six billion dollars represents so much gold tlhlt if loaded on motor trucks at five td IS to the truck it would take two thou- nd to haul it; and s16.O00,00000O, the t1al amount of the loans at the close ot tnhs drive, is more than 1500 men work ing year in and year out could earn from Ehe beginning of time until now. I have st friend who recently answered an ad- EfertiSement. sure Way to Get Rich Send Fifty Cents" He sent it and the ,ep1y came. Work like the devil and Ron't spend a cent.' Now, if 1500 men
 d started to work that way at s5 day,
 kly after Adam was showed out of the
 Fden of Eden, and had kept on work
 every day, workday and Sunday,
 oughout the ages, saving every cent,
 total amount of their earnings dur
 those 6000 long years would just out equal the total amount we shall ave lent Uncle Sam for this war at the hnd of two weeks from now Do you wonder we want to know something about the security back of our loans?
 Tn brief, the security is the United 5tates and all it contains. It consists .the land and all that is on it, includ-
 the brains and muscle of every one
 bur GOO of people. It represents
 sixteenth of all the land upon earth
 more than one-twentieth of all the
 sbitants. Capitalizing the property
 per cent of it's income last year, the linount is $500 O00, ,O00, 900, or over 30 times he amount of the loans. Five hundred bil- lions of dollars That sum is equal to half the estimated amount of the wealth

under the ground. This is worth hum dreds of times all of Uncle Sam's loans, and the amount we are taking out now is enough to pay the interest over ana over and keep doing so for generations to come. We have, in fact, about the richest mineral property on earth. we are producing about one-fiftn of the gold, two-thirds of the copper and one third of all the coal and iron that the human race uses year in and year out. We have in our mines half of all the coal that God has stored away from the sum light of the past, and the amount we dle mining now would more than pay the ln- terest on all the loans we shall have maoe at the close of this drive. The value ol that which we take out in 12 months IS upward of $8O0,000.000.
 The money received from the bitumln- ous coal alone would pay the full inter- est charges, and we have little patch of anthracite in northern Pennsylvania which brings in something like ,$2Vo,ooo'- 900 per anntim. We have 17000OO0,0O0 tons of that anthracite yet to be mined.
 Not long ago I got from the geoioglcai survey the total amount of coal We nave still in the ground. The area of the fields is 30 times that of the state of Massa- chusetts and the total amount in them is something like 100000, 900 of tons
 
 ablest coal scientist estimates that it rep resented solid block of coal IS miles square and IS miles high. That plock would contain enough coal to pulld d solid wall of black diamonds half mlle wide and half a mile high clear around the United States and leave some to 1 spare. The actual length of the wall would be more than 23,000 miles. Are you l still afraid Uncle Sam may not be ape AI.o F,,II mt l But in time the coal will play out. l Yes. perhaps. some ages from now, but even then supposing the loan should pe renewed one thousand times over, we ] have enough additional values In our mines of white coal, which VIII renew themselves every year as long as 1oo allows the sun to shine and the ram eo 1 fall refer to the enormous hyuroeiec 1 tric power stored up in our streanhs' l More than one-half the power We are us- ing for manufacturing is now proouceu in that way and We have enough ie.'

from? Is it real? Is it concrete? Or is the superheated air of the psychological moment fired up by the war? Let us look at some of the items. First, the land of the United States. It is common statement that all riches must come from the soil If all the land upon earth were divided into 160-acre farms Uncle sam would own a ten-acre field in every one of those farms. and in value his fields would be the choicest and most produc- tive parts of the whole. Take the tracts devoted to farming. those already under cultivation have brought in during the past year, in crops. live stock and prod ucts of one kind or another, the enor- nous amount of $21 ,00O, ,000000. We have
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-06

picked out of the soil, as it were, more than one and one-fourth times our whole war indebtedness, and the same land will yield that much or more every year for all time to come. It is equal to more than 80 times the interest Uncle Sam will have to pay on the fourth Liberty Loan, and this money rolls in that much faster than the interest accumulates. More over, our farms grow larger and larger. Last wear we cultivated 23,000,0OO acres

l ali the world at the time this war be- an. It equals s5Oo0 for every one of us ]. $25, GOO for every family in the United Itates Invested at per cent it would
 ring each of us $500 and every family y250 year for all time to come. This h the large Is the security back of the ban. It is what the property should |ring under the autioneer's hammer. It hakes the interest Uncle Sam has to pay kok like 90 cents.
 NJt where does all this wealth come

machinery. We have 10 great oil fields and we are now taking out of the earth more than 100000 barrels of petroleum for every one of the work
 ing days of the year. Oklahoma alone produced more than 100,000,000 barrels last year and the output of Califor- mia was only little less Our ex- ports of mineral oil in 1917 sold for enough to pay the annual interest on all the bonds of the fourth Liberty Loan.
 Now, have already shown you enough of Uncle Sans assets to prove that the principal and interest of your bonds are reasonably safe. But would like to add few more items to run the golden rod of confidence up your rubber backbone. In the first place, you are not casting your money upon the waters. As far as the nation is concerned, you are merely taking it out of one pocket and putting it in the other. The most of it stays at home. It goes into the buying of Amer ican goods and the build up and develop ing of American industries. Through the war we are improving every branch of manufacture. We are standardizing

Germany is beginning to wonder where she will get the raw materials for her big manufacturing lndustries after peace comes. If l had the say I would not give her bale or cotton, pound of food, a gallon of oil nor an ounce of iron or steel until she had absolutely secured the payment of every cent of damages caused by this 1 war. By that time she will have lost the mines of France, Belgium and 1 Alsace Lorraine, and the petroleum or Rumania and Russia will be in the hands of her enemies. She will De l begging also for copper, another DIE asset which you men who are buying Liberty Bonds should consider in fig uring up Uncle Sans wealth. We are now producing 65 per cent of all the copper that comes out of the mines. and in 1917 we sold enough to pay about twice the interest charges i on the $6,000, 100000 loan of the pres ent drive At the average price of ~ cents a pound the amount was per produced was almost 2,OOO, ,ooo,ooo hounds. It was considerably more than the half of all the copper taken out of the earth that year Of that lamount over one-third came from Arizona, and about one-fourth from the two states of M ltana and Michi- gan. We are now annually getting more than so.ooo. .oo0 pounds of copper from Alaska, and Utah is yielding in the neighborhood of 25o,ooo,ooo hounds. The Utah Copper company has a new teaching plant which often handles as much as 4000 tons of ore in one day, and the Nevada Consoli- dated has plants which handle l3,ooo tons within the same time. Some of
 
 steam shovels and the ore is gotten ont at a cost of about 35 cents ton. The cost of our copper produced in I1917 ranged firm to 10 cents pound The average price in the mar ket last year was about 27 cents, so you can see there is a fair margain or profit
 I might mention a score of other minerals each of which would bulk large in paying the interest on the bonds we are buying. Our lead and zinc would each do it's share, We are now producing about half the lead of the world and our zinc is go- ing into brass goods used for making arms and ammunitions We exported almost a quarter of billion dollars worth of such goods in 1916.
 Italy used to monopolize the sulphur market of the world. We got most of our supply from there, but we have l now found great beds of pure sulphur 1000 feet under the swamps of Louisi- ana and Texas We melt 1t with pure heated water and it is pumped to the surface. where it hardens into blocks of pure sulphur as big as New York hotel That sulphur now goes into mu- nitions for ourselves and our allies. We have so much of it that we produce all that we use and fix it's price in the markets of the world.
 In that same region are some of the 1 great oil fields which supply the gaso- line which moves and the oil which lubricates large part of the world s

IS YOUR BOND SAFEs??- By Frank G. Carpenter

on for all time to come. In other words, strange to say, we can easily pay our own debts by watering them.
 Now coal and iron form the basis of all modern manufacturing. Our supply of iron almost equals that of our coal. We have one ton in three of all the iron ore upon earth, and the most of our iron lies so close to the surface that if can be gotten out with steam shovels. The total amount of that now easily available is almost 5000, 100000 tons, and there are something like 10000, 900, 900 more which c. w. Hayes, one of our ablest geologists, has said may become avail able at sometime in the future. or this vast amount 72,000 100000 tons is on the shores of Lake Superior, where we take out the ore with steam shovels and send it down the mountains by gravity into steamers which carry it at the lowest freight rates on earth to our steel mills on the edge of the coal bed. This com bination Is such that we are bound al- ways to be the chief of the manufactur- ing nations, and the income from our exports will be enough to pay the prin- cipal and interest of all the deptS Oncle Sam may contract
 Our foreign trade Is steadily increas- ing It amounted last year to more than 8 900, 100000, or to double the highest figure ever received in normal times. The greatest gain was in exports, which ex- ceeded our imports by over $3,60o,Voooo. That was our balance of trade. We soid more goods than We bought to the sum of 5000 900 a. day and of this s3OOO,0oo,vo worth came from our factories. Those factories are all working now. Thelr work has been standardized and speeded up by the war, and when peace comes they will have an output which Will keep busy the 20 100000 tons of shipping we shall then have in carrying sucn goods to foreign lands.
 Our iron and steel output alone ought to satisfy anyone that his investment in the Fourth Liberty Loan Is aoso- lutely safe The amount of iron ore we mined last year was upward or io,- OOO.0O0 tons. We then made 35,0OO,0oO tons of pig iron and produced more than 42, GOO 900 tons of steel ingots The pig iron was worth more than $l0o,oo,ooo ana our exports of iron and steel, includlng machinery, sold for more than $lWo- | 0O0,000.
