LIBERTY DAY To HAVE
FAR-REACY|RG APPEAL
AS HARVEST FESTIVAL
Boards of Education Are Co-Operarins
With Liberty Loan organiza-
ton for Oct. II.

Liberty Day in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign will be Saturday, Oct.
'12 in former loans Liberty Day was
observed on the second Friday OF the
campaign.
l.. B. Franklin. Directly of War
Loans, in a communication TO the head
Of the Liberty Loan Organization pub
licity department, in announcing the
change, which has been suggested by
the United States bureau OF Educa-
ton, speaks of the appropriateness or
the day, the anniversary Of the dis
covery Of America, for the purpose.
The Treasury Department. in CO
operation with the United States Bu-
reau of Education, will request every
school district in the United States
city. town and countryside a-ra1
for the celebration of the discovery -
America with an appropriate harvesL
home festival.
There is,' says Mr.. Franklin, -
logical unity between both OF 4
ideas and the Liberty Loan When tie
people of a community recount the
fruits of their summers labor they
will naturally ask themselves what
share of them they ought to invest IN
Liberty Bonds. When they come to
! realize what the discovery Of America
has meant to them personally, what II
has meant for the cause of freedom
and democracy, what it will mean Tor
] the salvation of the world in the pres
ent world tragedy, when they begin to
feel all this they must of necessity say
this is worth investing in, worth fight
ing for. worth making any sacrifice
: for.
In Every Community.
ITO create this state of mind is the
purpose of celebrating the discovery
OF America. 1t is our hope that the
nationwide celebration will stir such
E enthusiasm over Americas mission II
the world as to enable each commun
Iity to reach at least its quota by tina
= day Let every local community make
this it's goal and on Liberty Day an
nounce the achievement and rejoict
over it.
. Iuo Bureau Ol EuuCdIlO1i, dI liz
request of the Treasury Department
Is is preparing suggestions for harves
g. home festival celebration and has tn
facilities for mailing them to almos
IS every one of the 100000 schools il
e the United States.
Is "The harvest home festival is ou
earliest form of American celebration
before cities were built, and it woul
be distinct gain o'carry the ide
over into city life. The characteristic
harvest Of the city is not fruit Or grai1
but the products Of social life, Xix
:. commerce, arts, music, architecture
:. City and country communities will {
course celebrate the day each after il
Is own fashion, but the harvest hom
- idea applies equally to both. Wha
q ever a community's particular type
product may be, on Liberty Day II
o aim should be to reap a harvest {

:" we meet not as city or country peopl

We're being very unselfish when We
denriye ourselves of pleasures and
arnusements and non-essentials and
buy Liberty Bonds. Yes. all very true.
hut we're being mighty selfish. too!
