OCTOBER 18TH,
"LIBERTY DAY"
Anniversary Of Americas Discovery to
Be Celebrated In Every Town and
Hamlet In the United States.

Plans to have Oct 10. the anniver-
sary Of Americas discovery, set aside
officially as Liberty Day are under
way in Washington. according to a
telegram received at Liberty Loan
Headquarters.
A celebration In every school COM
munity of the United States, number.
Ing nearly 100000, is being arranged
through the United States Bureau of
Education. A program is to be car
ried out In every school building, city,
town and country, throughout the ma
tion on that day. There will be close
cooperation between school officials
and local Liberty Loan committees. III
order to obtain the best results from
the celebrations.
The Bureau of Education will send
to each schoolh6use suggestive pro-
gram-one in line with the discovery
OF America and the present program
of keeping America free. even at the
cost Of bloodshed, suffering and sac
rifices of money and property. The
program will be suggestive only and
can be changed or another substituted
to meet the needs Of the particular
community.
"The discovery OF America opened a
new road to freedom" the telegram
telling of the plans suggests. but 1t
is our task to keep the road Open"
1t is not necessary to state that LIB.
erty Day would also be Liberty Loan
Day. The two could not be separated.
The Liberty Loans are put forth that
the freedom Of America that came In
the wake Of Columbus and his fleet OF
ships may live on forever. On that
day we will also celebrate the freedom
Of other nations and peoples that We
are fighting to hslp maintain.
