PERFECT ORGANIZATION
TO SELL LIBERTY BONDS
Experts in Various Lines Are at Work in Philadelphia
Headquarters.

The organization for handling the forthcoming Liberty Loan in the
Third Federal Reserve District has been completed. Philadelphia is the
headquarters for this district, which embraces Eastern Pennsylvania, South
en New Jersey and all Of Delaware.
The Women's Committee also has headquarters in Philadelphia, under
the supervision of Mrs James Starr, Jr.
This organization already is marked by som revolutionary departures
rom forme systems. The changes incorporate a mor gigantic program
for securing publicity, and a system for securing orders for bonds which
will greatly facilitate the work for the banks and will make it possible to
handle a much greater number of subscriptions in a limited time.
In Mr.. Parsons office are maps of Pennsylvania, New Jersey Dea
ware, divided into subditricts by heavy blue lines. The areas thus encos
ed renresent mor than fifty districts, which come under the supervision of
the philadelphia Headquarters. In most cases the districts are counties, but
in some cases a district takes in more than n county while in others a
mt is divided into two or more districts. On the maps ire various print
ed cards bearing the names of the local chanmen, the amount Of money
subscribed for each district in the last loan, the quota for the coming LOAF
and other information.

meath this comes the Federal Reserve Bank, next the Central Committee

of which interlocks.
While the Women's Committee reports directly to the Treasury Depart

rector Parsons. The separate chart for the Womens Committee shows, be-
meath the square for the Treasury Department, the chairman o the wo
Board, then an Executive Committee and various subcommittee. Mrs.

Mr.. Parsons, in announcing his tentative organization, said:

Federal Reserve District 81 perfected that in the campaign for the placing
of the Ioan each worker will know his duties and be able Ito work at 100
per cent efficiency from the first day of the campaign. 1t is the thought at
Washington that by having this permanent organization, which will in a
wv hold together the volunteer sales organization. the concentrated drive
will be conducted smoothly and Systematically, and far better results will
be accomplished"

the child's stomach. He lifted the
child into the air on his bayonet and
carried it away, he and his compan-

when the soldier struck it with his
bayonet, but not afterwards.
Commenting upon the incident,
Bruce Barton, editor of Every Week,
writes:
81 do not often ask you to read I'M

Liberty Bonds, I feel like throwing

"But I ask myself over and over

LOOK OUT! UNCLE

HIS EYE ON YOU!

"How many Liberty Bonds have

This question must be answered by
every individual before Uncle Sam

yertising the third Liberty Loan, and
perhaps the most striking of the films
will be that of Uncle Sans accusing
eye. The screen, after giving informa-
tion about the Loan, will suddenly
ask the big question, "How many Lib
erty Bonds have you bought?"
Then, quick as life, Uncle Sam, i'm
~personated by a famous film star, ap-
pears. With piercing eye he scruti-
nizes the spectators. "Ask your neigh.
Dor why he bought his Liberty Loan
bond" is another caption that an
pears, on the screen. Then the figure
of Uncle Sam melts away but in a
moment his eyes-only his eyes-re-
appear, and search the faces in the
house. They are appealing, threaten
ing, persuasive. After they have scru-
tinized the audience for a while, al
other request appears; "All those who
have bought a third Liberty Loan
bond, please raise their hands,"
It's a test that thrills the dutiful
and shames the ST. lckers.
Among the other films which will
be used is one showing The Building
of the Liberty statue in Philadelphia.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-03-23

Lewis H. Parsons, director of the
Liberty Loan for the Third Federal
Reserve District, gave out the follow
ing statement from his Office in the
Lincoln Building, Philadelphia;
1--WE are ready to go over the top
and make a killing for the Loan. In
our trenches and back of our ines
great preparations for the big drive
are under way.
Success is sure, but it will not
come easily. All good Americans
must apply themselves to the task of
helping to raise this money as they
never before have applied themselves
to anything. The government needs
the help of every individual now more
than ever before. There must be no
slackers. No one should depend upon
some one else to make up his share.
Every one must do something.
"The first thing we should all get
firmly implanted in our minds is the
seriousness of the situation. We are
fighting a most powerful war machine.
To overcome it, we must make almost
s%uperhuman efforts. And we cannot
do this great task at all without mon
ey. That is the first need. So every
one who is not fighting with his hands
must fight with his money-that is,
must buy Liberty Bonds.
Nothing could do the government
more harm than the peace talk which
we hear, and even see printed, on all
sides. The time to talk and think of
peace is after we are victorious. Our
government is preparing for a long
and bitter war. The only way to
shorten it is to supply the money now
so that we may have the equipment
for our soldiers, the ships and food
and all those things which are neces-
sary to win.
"This is a great, big, patriotic oppor-
tunity for all of us to pull together
and show the rest of the world how
America can rise to a situation. We
must put into bonds all the money we
can spare. Even if we have not the
ready money, but have credit, we
should use our credit to raise money
with which to buy bonds. This will
be found the easiest way in the long
run. If it seems inconvenient to raise
money now, let us just consider the
possibilities of defeat. That would
mean paying over to an autocrntic
power whatever that power saw fit to
exact of us. Surely there is a decided
difference between doing that and
lending our money now to Uncle Sam
at a good ratel of interest. know
the people will wake up to the stu
ton, and that is why | am sure the
third Liberty Loan drive will be a
great success"

ANTI-SPY

The following are culled from a Sc
ries of slogans submitted by the AS
sociated Advertising Clubs of the
World:
If you know anything Germany
would like to know. let this be your
speechless day.
Keep your V peeled, your heart
steeled, your lips sealed-don't talk
Your idle prattle may lose a battle.
Don't tel all you know.
One German army has already oc.
cunied America-the invisible host of
spies is everywhere. Don't talk.
Swat the fly! Spot the spy, Spies
feed upon little crumbs of converse
in, little chances of observation.
Starve them out,
Don't tell all you know to people
YOU don't
Keep your eyes open. Report sus-
picious rersons who ask curious ques-
ions. Three cowb [ys caught TIE spy

Takes the Trouble to Build House fol
Them on His Place.
There is a man in Michigan who
takes the trouble to build comfortable
homes for birds. In March, 1914, F,
A. Stuart began to equip his property
OF 1878 acres, near Marshall, as q
bird sanctuary. At the last count he
had set up 1,434 bird boxes in scien-
tific arrangement so as to realize the
best possible results.
On June ID, 1916, he found 292 bird
families enjoying the hospitality of his
houses, besides the multitudes breed
ing after the native wild fashion. in
the trees, bushes and fields on his es-
tate. Martins, bluebirds, tree swaI-
lows, wrens. robins and phoebe birds
are among the varieties in this bird
refuge.
Mr.. Stuart takes great care to in
spect the premises every q days, these
trips of inspection including the exact
number of homes occupied, the num-
Der OF nests, eggs or young, and the
kinds of birds. The houses farther
away from the buildings are more
freely used, especially by tree swal-
lows and bluebirds. At a distance
from the buildings the little bird
houses are mounted on fence posts, or
on iron gas pipe eight or ten feet high.
Others are on the edge of the wood
land and in the interior of the woods.
