WILL NOT LET WOMEN
 PAY TIE KAISER s PRICE
Americans Will Support Liberty Loan to Protect Their Homes
 and Country.

It has been often said that the wom- an always pays. Do you, MT. Farmer, MT. Town Man and MT. City Man, want your wife to pay the price of Prussian ,barbarism and martyrdogn?
 Since the war started the Prussian has blushed at nothing. To type of man capable of making a joke of the most horrible crimes, such acts as a baby crucified on a barn door, mur- dering mothers and outraging young girls is Q mere matter of amusement.
 The United States government IS about to launch it's Third Liberty Loan. Does this mean anything to you? It means everything to the men, women and children of America. Your son and all the nations sons are rely ing on the United States Treasury to furnish the sineWs of war. Their lives are lost if the Treasury fails.
 The American farmer will not let the cruel piratical and ruthless policy of Teutonic militarism reign in this land of the free and the home Of the brave. We will not yield up our birth right as Americans.
 The Third Liberty Loan will be over- subscribed.

SOME EDDY RLUNDERED:
 II WAS TIE RUSSIANS
Germany Went Wrong in Estimating the English, French and
 Americans.

Lack of understanding of other na- tions, of other peoples, has ever been the predominant weakness of the Prussian militarists. Posing as lead CTS in philosophy and psychology they have nevertheless failed completely in their analysis of human nature in any people outside their own bound ary lines of dominion.
 They misunderstood the French. They blundered in their estimate of the English. They muddled their dealings with. the Russians. And the world at large now knows how far they missed reading us alright. They thought us a nation of money grub bers, Of apologists rather than fight CTS, and even yet they are refusing to concede their mistake. But they know better in their own hearts.
 Uncle 'Sam's first rude disturbance of the Prussian serenity was his dec laration of war. His second shock to Prassisn confsd ence was the rapid fire manner in which he began the up building of his armed forces. Then came the tremendous over-subscrip- tion of the first Liberty Loan, an al together unexpected performance. And when this was repeated in the second Liberty Loan drive it was real ly appalling.
 Now the Prussian interest is cen tered upon what the American people are going to do for the Third Liberty Loan in the face of recent events at the front. While t'G American troops along the firing inc are emphasizing our spirit and determination with 75 centimeter guns, howitzers, machine guns, hand grenades, rifles and auto- matics, it is up to us at home to do our shelling with dollars.
 Ours is by far the easier task. It has no savor of danger. On the con- trary it is precaution against the pos sible menace of the future. It is sow ing seeds of security where they will grow to the benefit of both ourselves and our country.
 It Is one of the greatest, the noblest, the most patriotic opportunities ever offered the American people.

YOUR PATRIOTISM
 TDlD IN DOLLARS
The size of Your Bond Purchase, means Considered, Tells the Tale

The size of Your Bond Purchase, means Considered. Tells the Tale.
 What is it worth to you?
 Does American Liberty mean any. thing in your scheme of life? If it does, just try to put money value on it.
 But, you say-and you say rightly its value can not be measured in dollars and cents. It goes beyond money. It lays upon all the higher and bigger things in life. It repre- sents things that no amount of money can buy. It is-
 But hold on a minute. We know all that. and still we ask you to put money value. on American Liberty How much does 1t mean to yol1?
 What would 1t mean, to pWSit other. wise, if there were dangergsof it's being driven from you-and if MONEY, a big sum of money, Were the only thing that could prevent. How much would you give for Liberty, the real American brand of it, under those cir cumstances? .S x
 
 There is a. reason for asking these quesrions-Habsurd as they may seem. And that reason lies in the conditions confronting us all today.
 It is humanly possible, since all things are possible, that the hordes of the Huns may overrun Europe and the whole civilized world. If they do the American type of Liberty will come near to vanishing from tho earth. You will enjoy much diluted and sadly modified form of it, at best
 If we are wise, we will acknowledge the danger and do our utmost to avert it. That can best be done by those of us who can not go to the front by loaning the United States Government all of our money that we can It takes money-untkinkable sums of money more money than the world has ever had called for for any purpose hither- toto carry on the Big Business of Defense that is to make the world safe for Democracy and perpetuate the American ideal of Liberty not only in America but throughout the world
 So get down to brass tacks," and count up the value of American Lib erty in MONEY. Then buy your part of the Third Liberty Lqsn and buy it gladly.
 You might even help some other fcl- low buy part of his.
 It's worth the price.

go to the soldiers and sailors and war sufferers even more unfortunate than herself. The laces she sells to inter- ested visitors
 She manages to handle her knitting needles by sticking one of them into the sleeve of her paralyzed arm. She makes up for the handicap of the use- less member through the dexteritv of her useful one. She is saving the money from the sale of her articles to buy Liberty Bonds.
 Mrs. Bessie Lackey is another na. triotic inmate of the institution. She IS now employed in making a patch. work crazy quilt which she bopes to sell Tn order to buy thrift stamps and, perhaps, a Liberty Bond.
 Another woman, mother of 20 chil. ofen, IS one of the busiest knitters in the Institution. Seventeen of her cbil. ofen are dead. Two of the three living are in the national service-one in the army and one in the navy. She is buying thrift stamps and hopes to buy a bond, too.
 Mrs. Harry Lee Wyatt of 4 Park land place probably has the most novel assignment within the gift of the American Red Cross. She has been detailed to instruct classes in knitting among the inmates of the City Hos, pital City Infirnary and Insane Asy. lum
 She declares that the work is being taken up enthusiastically by these un. tortunates. In the Sanitarium the oc. cupation of knitting IS said by officers Of the institution to have had 2 marked soothing effect upon the minds of the workers. Their first concern upon awakening in the morning is about their knitting materials.
 Mrs. Wyatt has a regular visiting day at each institution. The St. Louis chapter of the Red Cross supplies the materials and the finished garments are sent to men in service or to waz sufferers.

FARMERS BACK LIBERTY LOAN
By Alison Secor, Editor, Successful Farming.

kUltOr, SuCCoSSIul Farm10S.
 There are about 100000 men now under arms, training to fight, and it takes lot of money to feed, clothe, transport and equip such force of consumers who previously were self supporting. Uncle Sam cannot at once reach into the pockets of those who stay at home and draw out by tax ation enough money to pay the bills of such an army and navy. The only possible source of ready cash is to borrow from those who have it.
 The farmers have shown their energy in producing the largest crops and have endured hardships due to shortage of help, and I believe they will lean to Uncle Sam every dollar they can spare, thus giving full sup port tc the farmers sons who are ready to make the supreme sacrifice, that we may not be conquered by such a foe as Germany.
 Just as your few bushels of grain and pounds of meat will, when put with the products of all the farms, save world from starvation, so the amount of your money, put with all the money which may be loaned to the government for Liberty bonds, will prevent this great war from ending in favor of the fee. Liberty bonds are receipt for the money you lend Uncle Sam, and they bear AZ per cent interest,

THREE OLD MEN "GlVE TILL IT HURTS" SACRIFICING S4 OF

Mother of 20 Sen6s Two Sens to Serv. ice-ParaIyzcd knitter Works
 for "Unfortunates."
By HUGH Is. WOOD.

When the grand total of much more than $3,000,0o0,000 of Liberty Bond sales is cast up sometime after May 4 no one bond among them probably will represent so much sacrifice-so much / --imping-so much real 'tgiv ing till it hurts" as three $50 bonds sol4 in the St. Louis Poor House.
 Those three bonds, to be paid for at s1 a week, will represent many little lUxaries given up-a bag of candy here, pocket knife for whiting there by three old men alone in the world but still partners in the great Ameri- can nation and ready and willing to do their humble 'bit' to help bring vic tory home.
 These men are John Crane, Joseph ? Walsh and Charles HeImholt, all on the shady side of 70 years. They have for years been inmates of the St Louis City Infirmary, the large institu- ton topping a hill on Arsenal street. in sight of Potters' Field.
 A dollar probably looms larger in that structure than anywhere else in the large city. Even nickels and dimes are treasured there.
 Crane has for long time been mes senger at the institution and receives $ every 30 days for his services.
 .eH Dr. Gharlea z. Ba1r, s,1peria- tendent, placarded the reception room of the lnfirmary with Third Liberty Loan posters-more in a spirit of pa triotism than in the expectation of making sales-Crane was deeply in.er- ested. He inquired if cash was re- qaiTed to buy bond, and when Dr. Baur informed him he might buy q $50 one for S1 a week he was over- joyed.
 T am an American" he said, land l would like to help my country. I be- Ieye l could finish paying for one"
 So Dr. Baur put him down and he is going to give $4 every month out Of his salary of $5.
 Crane told his crony, Helmholt, night attendant at the telephone, about it. Ilelmholt gets $5 month for his serv- ices and he vary shortly convinced himself that he, too, could afford to buy bond. He signed up for a $50 one on the s1-a-week payment plan.
 Walsh outranks his fellows by far in the matter Of wages. As the sexton of that cbeerless place-Potters' Field he receives $10 month. He is an in. mate of the Infirmary and soon fig. ured that he could we'll afford a $50 bond if his two $5 friends could-and besides, the government needed the money. Sc he, too, became a bond owner at $1 week.
 Mrs. Clara Kersting, another inmate of the institution, is keenly patriotic and is doing her share in helping to finance the war for human liberty.
 Although paralyzed on one side, she is an expert with the knitting or cro cheting needles. She has crocheted yards of fancy laces and knitted nu. merous garments, The knitted articles

A veritable army, compa~ah7h thoroughness of organization and fectiveness of operation with th,s now in the battle zones of France |, working at top speed in the Eie'ss3. Federal Reserve District for the 6. cess of the Third Liberty Loan
 Reduced to the basis of army diri sions-12,000 to a divisionA-there are practically eight divisions in the fled as many Liberty Loan workers in ths states composing this reserve district as there were American soldiers .n France just before the recent big Ger man drives.
 This army of Liberty Loan workers is being directed by a central organi- zation comparable to an armys gen. eral staff. On two floors of the Rail- way Exchange Building, St. Louis, the largest office building in the world, occupying enough space to accommo- date all the business houses of m ordinary town, are the high command. CTS, of this army. From this nerve center of direction go out the direc. tions, the orders, the advice to 3S3 counties of the district. Each smaller unit in each state and county has it's individual heads and leaders.
 While these messages go and come by telephone and telegraph, the cen tral headquarters Is launching a veri- table avalanche of printed matter over It's territory. These tons of lit erature, destined to reach the 7,285,- 800 population in the district, have been mailed at the rate of 150,00o sheets day. Nineteen hundred anu thfrty-nine newspapers are reached One thousand ministers of as ntassf churches are supplied With Chr .a.s. and religious argument for the sast cess of the loan.
 Working directly under cer.r headquarters are 5 5.455 sales direct. 15 to a county. Working under eaca director is a staff of between 10 and 15 salesmen. Even estimating the sales force under each director at 70 men, this would make total of 55, f5s salesmen, It is believed the total h nearer 75,000.
 There are 5000 publicity directors in the district with staffs of assist ! ants. There are 2,000 speakers and several thousand workers in misceI. laneous fields.
 A perfect system of checking up on all persons able to buy bonds has been evolved. V. L. Price, director of sales forces, can put his finger imme- diately upon weak spots. Each sales- man Is supplied with prospect" cards. These show a mans financial ability as regards buying Liberty Bonds If the prospect" refuses to buy a card containing his refusal Is sent by the salesman to the sales director of his district. The sales director, in turn. forwards the card to Sales Director Price
 Thus failure to subscribe is defi- nitely fixed. It does not end hero. however. The man whose reason for declining to buy is not considered good is entered upon one of the vel. low stacker" cards which are for warded to national headquarters in Washington, D. c. There he is clas. sified with the "slackers" from every reserve district in the Union.
