MAKES
 GOOD TALK

l
 the Popular Picture Palace Sunday night was V. l. Hahn and the sub feet was the Third Liberty Loan bonds. In part, Mir. Hahn said:
 Uncle Sam says: I want to see a Liberty Bond in every Americans home "
 "Skagway's allotment of the ThtI' Liberty loan is $lS,00O or about s35 per capita. England has rais- ed on loans since the war began an average of about $60O per capita Think of it. six hundred dollars each for every man, woman and child n the country, and France ha' done even more.
 "Surely our patriotism is not less than that of the British or French and We are not being put to snything like the supreme test to which they are. We are not yet asked to give our all. We are only asked to do our part, and if we do it promptly, and cheerfully all of us joining in the effort to help raise the funds for conducting the war, We may end the bloody tragedy without being forced to give our all.
 "Compared with the French, We do not know what sacrifice means. We are asked to forego only use less luxuries, to save as 9 matter of good bushes, but the French lave been forced to stint, to Wear old clothes, to wear poor footwear, tn rat poor food and to do double work.
 I've have q hard road to travel before We may expect peace because We do not want a peace such as Russian received, with the German advancing long after the peace agreement has been signed and the Russian army demobilized.
 "None of us in, America will have to sleep tonight in mud Or lying in cave with murderous thunder and Tightening over head, and death lurking On all sides, like the soldiers in the trenches, who are offering their ALL, THEIR LIVES, for us and for democracy.
 These are troublesome times Just now everybody is busy, labor is in great demand, wages are go ing up, but gigantic destruction of the worlds property is going on and We do not know the end. Soon CT or later the man with few dol lars saved up may be thankful, SUI premely thankful, that he gave uI good deal during the years of plenty that he may have some thing for the lean years that are tC come.
 "Our country only asks us tC LOAN our money at good rate oi interest, not to give it outright thus benefitting us by saving as well as helping our country.
 Many of us cannot buy all the bonds We would like to, as We all have many obligations to meet. but we should make this ONE of our obligations, because it is a debt the nation owes, and we should all dc our best and not wait until We See what the other person is going to do.
 Furthermore, if the government cannot sell the bonds, it will have to increase the taxation, and we all know that money paid out in taxes is never returned.
 "The present issue consists of ten year bonds bearing A percent interest, and the drive closes OH May 4th. If you cannot pay out right for bonds you may make a small deposit. and pay the balance in iustallments, the final one being due Aug. 18th.
 "In closing l will add that if you own bonds of previous issues, l hope you will try to buy more, bearing in mind that this is a choic between BONDS and BONDAGE"
