 3RD LIBERTY LOAN
CATHOLICS, PROTESTANTS AND JEWS DESIGNATE APRIL 7 AS
 LIBERTY LOAN SUNDAY.
SERMONS FROM ALL PULPlTS
Patriotism, Loyalty and Duty to Sup port Country in Present Crisis to Be the Theme for
 All Pastors.

The churches of metropolitan St. Louis will observe the first Sunday h April as Liberty Loan Sunday.
 There are about 400 parish churches of every foith, Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish, but no sectarlan line will be drawn when it comes to the work for Uncle Sam in crushing once and for all the unfathomable Ill, iQuity of Prussianisln.
 Quite all that was necessary was merely to suggest April as Liberty Loan Sunday to get the wonderful response that is coming daily nto headquarters of the Liberty Loan or ganizatlon. The loyalty of all the churches is doubly assured in these responses.
 The Church Federation of St. Louis has a War Committee which Is Work ing out formal set of suggestions how best each of the 135 churches in the federation may oL-erve tue Sun day nearest to the first anniversary of America's declaration of war with Germany.
 The Rev. John w.. Maclvor, D. D., pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church. is chairman of this commit tee. Associated with him are the Very Rev. Carroll M Davis, dean of Christ Church Cathedral (EpiscopaD and MT. John B. Edwards. lawyer and a Baptist layman.
 Archbishop John J. Glennon, who presides over the spiritual destlnles oi 49O, 900 Roman Catholics in the Arch docese of St. Louis, is heart and soul with the purposes of the United States government and has informed the Central Committee of the Liberty Loan Organization that he will be only too glad to do anything and everything he can to aid his country in raising the Third Liberty Loan The metropolitan has 96 parishes in the city limits of St. Louis and l4o other parishes in the rural territory from which St. Louis obtains it's staff of life in more senses than one.
 The Jewish community of St. Louis is an important one. comprising about 50,00O souls, according to conserve tive estimate. Both the orthodox and the reformed wings of Judaism are in tensely loyal to their country. Their rabbis will do everything in their power to enlist the active support ot their religious followers in the Third Liberty Loan.
 Each of the great religious sects will, of course, have their own pe' culiar method of approach to the great task, but there is going to be a most healthy and friendly rivalry imaginable between them for the honor of doing the most by their be loved President.
 The St. Louis plan is to utilize every pulpit, every church bulletin, every religious channel of communication every denominational organ. of what ever name or circulation. in the com mon labor of raising the necessary funds to sustain our soldiers and sail ors, wherever they are.
 Doubtless this plan will be eXten sively followed in all the church cen ters of influence throughout the Eighth Federal Reserve District.

Why Flour ExpIodes.

Records Of tie last ten .,ears show that about twenty explosions have oc- cured in cereal, four and feed mills, with the loss of $2,OOO,O00 worth of property, as we'll as the killing or in- turing of over two hundred employees
 Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved conclusively what are the difficulties to be avoided. In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro- duced in the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances coming into contact with the plates of the l1Aa- chine may produce enough sparks to ignite the dust within the machine
 Another possible cause for cereal dust eXpivs1ons suggested IS the use of naked flames.
