PATRIOTISM AND PER CENT
Interest Rate on Fourth Liberty Loan
 Fixed at AZ Per Cent.

Secretary McAdoo has definitely announced that the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds will bear aA per cent interest.
 The Secretary has been insistent that the Government interest rate should be stabilized at A per cent. He points out that raise in the rate of interest of only one-fourth of i per cent on $10,000, 100000 of Government bonds would mean an annual increase of $25, 100000 in interest charges, and that this money would have to be raised by increased taxation and paid by the people of the country. It would not be paid by one class only. because there are consumption as we'll as other kinds of taxes, and the consumption taxes reach every class of people.
 "As an intelligent people," said Sec retary McAdoo during the Third Lib erty Loan campaign, i've should now make a stand for the financing of our Government during the period of this war at a stabilized rate of interest, say at IA per cent per annum, so that all business and all investments may be adjusted to that basis, and so that we ourselves may protect our selves against successively increased rates of interest on Government loans."

THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD DEPENDS ON THE ARMY OF 5000, 900 THAT UNCLE SAM
 IS RAISING.
TO TAKE FLOWER OF AMERICA
Billions of Money Required to Prop erIy Equip and Care for the Forces That Are Fighting
 Your Battles.

Uncle Sam Is rapidly preparing fol an increase of his fighting forces to an aggregate strength of 5,000,00O men. This was the figure agreed upon in the Paris conference of sev. eral months ago as necessary to speedy allied control of the situation and eventual victory for allied arms. America alone could produce the men.
 France already has put practically every available man in the ranks. England has drawn upon her man power to a point that is begiHAfng to make itself felt in the production of war munitions. Belgium has all of her little remnant of population lined up along the front almost to 8 man. And Italy has all she can do to care for herself.
 This five millical will represent the flower of Americas fighting material
 Upon it will depend to no small degree the ultimate issue of the war To it all Europe will be looking in eager expectation from the moment it takes the field aggressively. It is expected to be the straw that win break the Pruss3an eame1's back.
 We must do our full duty by that five million in the next loan.
 And in doing this we must not over. 1ook~this fact. In its ranks will be thousands and thousands of boys who are now at home. Some of these will be our boys ir literal truth. No long. CT will that army be an impersonal unit. It will be made up largely of our own flesh and hood.
 Every time you buy bond you will be lending to your own. For few households will escape the combinz process of the next draft.
 Don't forget this. The Fourth Lib- erty Loan campaign opens Sept. 4s, Your country and your sons need your help.
 If you have a son eligible for serv. ice, look him over before you de- eide upon the amount of your pur. chase.
 You'd give a good deal more than will be asked of you to have him safely back
 And the better prepared that army Is ihe sooner it will finish its work; the less danger he will be subjected to; the quicker he will return.
 Do your part by that five million and your boy
 Get ready to do it early.
