BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their Loyalty In Aiding
Government to Finance
the War.

The splendid spirit OF patriotism
manifested by the bankers throughout
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
is being more than maintained in the
preliminary campaign for the Fourth
Loan that began June 25. when the
first series OF S750.000. 900 of United
States Treasury Certificates Of lnde6t
edness was offered to the banks.
No more patriotic and intelligent
body OF men than the men comprising
the banking element exists anywhere.
They make deep study of finance
They watched the mistakes made by
Germany and our Allies In financing
the war. and they do not hesitate to
place the stamp OF approval on the
methods adopted by the United States
Government to avoid repetition OF the
mistakes.
This plan of Certificates OF lndebt.
edness spreads out the demand that
will be made this fall on the country
at large for the Fourth Loan, and the
money that is realized from raw mate
rails and labor will 30 through the
channels OF commerce and return to
the country for reinvestment this fall.
The certificates form the basis for
a system of credits which will relieve
the country Of q great strain II would
experience II the certificate plan had
not been adopted.

have reliable information that il
would be very simple thing for per-
son familiar with the use of explosives
and their defamation by electricity to
conceal dynamite in levee and have
the raising water explode it at any
elevation they chose, and as long a
time as year after the charge had
been planted.
While the Department of Justice may
have every reason to believe that no
trouble will occur on account of
these Germans paroled by them to
GO to Sunny Side, at the same
time there are others. myself included;
who firmly believe that our homes and
firesides are certain to be invaded and
ravaged by the overflow waters of
the Mississippi River, if the integrity
of our levee is in the slightest degree
dependent upon the honor of Germans
or pro- Germans.
l therefore implore you not to permit
the safety. peace and dignity of this
community to be overshadowed by self
interest if in your power to prevent. as
it would be no hardship for the patriot
ic land owners along the river, who
cannot raise cotton without surround.
ing themselves with enemy aliens. to
dispose of their holdings at the at
tractive prices now being offered. and
buy cheaper lands at least one hundred
miles back from the levee system.

hoping to hear from you again in the
near future.
Sincerely your friend.

represented about 90 per cent of
the sheep owned in the state of
