FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
WILL OPEN SEPT. %
Over Twenty Million Americans Hold
Bonds Issued for War =
Purposes

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
will begin Saturday, September %.
and close October 10. The bonds of
the first three issues were taken in
less time than was given and each
loan was oversubscribed. That the
fourth loan will be success, no
American doubts; and no good Am
erican will fail to contribute to its
success.
The following account of the first
three loans as given out by the Urea
sury Department will show just what
was done each time.
The United States entered the war
on April 6, 1917. Eighteen days
later by practically unanimous vote
Congress passed the Liberty loan
bond bill.
On May 2 the first Liberty loan
was announced, on May IA the de-
tails were made public, and on the
18th the campaign began and closed
one month later. The issue was for
s2,OOO,O00,000 the bonds bearing
80 per cent interest and running
for 1880 years. The bonds carried
the conversion privilege, emitting
the holder, if he chose, to convert
them into bonds of later issue
a bearing a higher rate of interest.
Four and half million subscribers
from every section of the country,
representing every condition, race,
and class of citizens, subscribed for
more than s3,OO0,0OO,0O0 of the
bonds. Only $4,000, 100000 was al
loted.
The outstanding features of the
first Liberty loan were the prompt
ness with which it was arranged and
conducted, the patriotism of the
newspapers, banks, corporations, or
CARNATIONS, and people generally in
working for it's success, and the
heavy oversubscription of more than
so per cent Another notable fea-
ture was that there was no inter-
ruption to the business of the country
occasioned by the unprecedented de-
mand upon it's money resources.
The second Liberty loan campaign
opened on October 1, 1917, and closed
on October 27. The bonds of this
issue bear per cent interest and run
for 1925 years. They carry the con-
version privilege. 1t was announced
that SO per cent of the oversubscrip-
ton would be taken. Nine million
subscribers subscribed to $4,617,-
! $4,000 of the bonds, an oversub-
scription of "a per cent. Only 3d.

August sugar-for-canning. regula-
tons provide up to 10 pounds for
every member of the household less
whatever amount of sugar has been
previously obtained this season for
canning purposes.
In household, hotel, or any other
institution where there is per
capita sufficient to justify the pur-
chase of more than 100 pounds of
sugar for canning, the o. X. of the
county food administrator must be
obtained before such sugar can be

One hundred pounds or less may be
bought upon signing certificates with

100 pounds is required the county
administrator must approve the sale,

purposes and that it will be used in

DON'T COMPLAIN ON TRAINS
CONTINUED from page u.


railroads between the homes and the
environments, between the different
environments and then to the sea-
board, is making extraordinary de-
mands upon the passenger car and
sleeping car equipment of the coun-
try. This has caused a scarcity Of
day coaches and sleeping cars which
it is impossible to remedy immedi-
ately.
Secondly, the increased demands
upon track and terminal facilities
for the transportation of the trem-
endous amounts Of coal, food supplies,
raw materials, and other things re-
quired for military and naval opera
tions, as well as for the support Of
the civil population of the country,
force the largest possible curtailment
of passenger train service. The
movements of troops and war mater
ials are, of course, of paramount inn
portance and must be given at all
times the right of way.
1t was hoped that the increase in
passenger rates recently made would
have the wholesome effect of reduc-
ing unnecessary passenger traffic
throughout the country. The smaller
the number of passengers who travel
the greater the number of locomo-
tives and cars and the larger the
amount of track and terminal facili-
ties that will be freed for essential
troop and war material movements.
Engineers, firemen and other skilled
laborers will also be released for
service on troop and necessary freight
trains.
Among the many patriotic duties
of the American public at this time
is the duty to refrain from travelling
unnecessarily. Every man, woman
and child who can avoid using pas
senger trains at this time should do
so. / earnestly hope that they will
do so. Not only will they liberate
essential transportation facilities
which are necessary for war pur-
poses, but they will save money
which they can invest in Liberty
Bonds and thereby help themselves
as we'll as their country; and the
fewer who travel, the more ample the
passenger train service will be.
may add that consistently with
the paramount demands Of the war,
every possible effort is being made
by the Railroad Administration to
supply the largest possible amount of
comfortable and prompt passenger
train service.

but once each day in public eating

IN pounds of clear beef per person
per week in the household, have been
removed upon order from Washing
ton. hnN
Drouth in the southwest has made
it necessary for cattle raisers to rush
to market large quantity of light
weight beef creating an unexpected
surplus which permits the removal
of consumption restrictions. Heavy
beef animals are still particularly de-
sired for use in furnishing meat to
the army abroad and home people are
urged in the consumption of beef at
this time to favor the light weight
animals.
The general policy of conserva-
tive meat consumption is still adj
vised by the food administration.

80S,766,15O of the bonds was al
loted.
This campaign was marked with
the same enthusiastic support Of the
public as its predecessor. The labor
and fraternal organizations were
especially active in this campaign,
and the women of the country did
efficient organized work which great
ly contributed to the success of the
loan. The men in the army and
navy worked for and subscribed
largely to the loan.
The third Liberty loan campaign
opened on April 6, 1918, one year
exactly after our entrance into the
war, and closed on May 4. The bonds
of this issue bear a n per cent in
terest and run for 10 years, are not
subject to redemption prior to ma
turity, and carry no conversion pri-
vilege. The loan was announced for
$4,000, 1000, but the right was re-
served to accept all additional sub
scriptions. Seventeen million sub
scribers subscribed for $4,17O,019,-
$50 of the bonds, all of which was
allotted.
A great feature of this loan was
it's very wide distribution among the
people and throughout the Union and
the fact that the country districts
promptly and heavily subscribed to
the loan, in great measure making
up their quotas earlier than the
cities. Secretary McAdoo pronounced
this loan the soundest of national
financing.
A little over year ago there was
some 100000 United States bond
holders; there are now somewhere be-
tween 100000 and 25,O00,000.
Awakened patriotism has made the
American people a saving people, a
bond-buying people. The effect of
the Liberty loans on the national
character, on our national life, on
the individual citizen and our home
life is immeasureable-o incalcul-
able benefit Not less incalculable is
their effect on the destiny of the
world as our ships plow the seas and
our men and material in Europe beat
back the Hun.
The fourth Liberty loan campaign
will begin Saturday, September %,
and close October 10. No American
doubts it's success; no good American
will fail to contribute to it's success.
The blood of our men fallen in Eur
ope calls to us; our answer must be
and will be worthy of them and our
country.

In letter from Wesley Ernst to
his brother Will he has the following
to say: Received your letters and
the Morris Tribune and was certainly
glad to get them all. I tell you this

joy it. I had chance to get in the

aviation but was turned down on ac-
count of my weight. I suppose you
will be driving the bus to school, this
year in my place. Well, go to school
while you have the chance. AS for

DEPRIVED
Of THEIR DAY IN
GREAT BRITAIN
War Measure To Be Enacted
To Reduce Number Of Use
less CANNES In England.

LONDON, June THE government
is wrestling with the problem Of what
to do with dogs in view of the rapid
ly diminishing stocks of food. 1t seems
pretty settled that their number of
dogs Is to be reduced. There are hard
ly any dog biscuits left, and no more
will be manufactured, as the low
grade flour from which they are made
is wanted for the textile trades.
Bonar Law, Chancellor OF the Ex-
cheQuer, refused to include a heavy
tax on dogs In his budget which he in.
troduced In the last week of April.
His friends said that such tax would
kill dog-breeding as an industry. and
would work unequally between rich
and poor. The poor mans dog would
be sacrificed while the pampered Pc
kinese would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal is to
prohibit the breeding of dogs during
the war except under license. The eff.
feet OF this would be to allow the per-
petuation OF pedigree breeds which
have taken many years and large sums
of money to produce, and also useful
dogs like sheep dogs and army dogs.
The breeding Of mongrels and proba.
bly, of purely fancy dogs would be
prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have dog. They
will in the future need all their ingen-
uity to keep their pets fed.
