Teachers to Be Paid More.

The movement to increase wages Of
Missouri school teachers, headed by
State superintendent of Public Schools
Uel w. Lamkin, has produced some re-
suits in cities, but in rural districts
progress is slow.
Lamkin has pointed out that grade
teachers can get better wages from
government departments at Washing
ton and that many have left the state.
Forty-nine instructors and lecturers
in the state university receive 5000 to
$1,000 a year., and 60 professors in the
same institution receive from 49, 900 to
$4,000 a year. Assistants receive very

THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD DEPENDS ON THE ARMY OF 5,ooo,coO THAT UNCLE SAM
 IS RAISING.
TO TAKE FLOWER OF AMERICA
Billions of Money Required to Prop erly Equip and Care for the Forces That Are Fighting
 Your Battles.

Uncle Sam is rapidly preparing for an increase of his fighting forces to an aggregate strength of 5,000,000 men. This was the figure agreed upon in the Paris conference of sev- eral months ago as necessary to a speedy allied control of the situation and eventual victory fer 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 beginning 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 a man. And Italy has all she can do to care for herself.
 This five million 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 fror, the moment it takes the field aggressively. It is expected to be the straw that will break the Prussian camel's back.
 We must do our full duty by that five million in the next loan.
 And in doing this we must not over thousands and thousands of boys who Are now at home. Some of these will be from our own firesides They will be our boys ir literal truth. No long. CT will that army be an impersonal unit. It will be made up l4rgely of our own flesh and hood.
 Every time you buy bond you will be lending to your own. For few households will escape the combing process of the next draft.
 Don't forget this. The Fourth Lib. erty Loan campaign opens Sept. 23. 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 ba asked of you to have him safely back.
 And the better prepared that army is the sooner it will finish it's work i; 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.

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

Secretary McAdoo has definitely announced that the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds, will bear IA per cent interest.
 The Secretary has been insistent that the Government interest rate should be stabilized at Az per cent. He points out that raise in the rate of interest of only one-fourth of 1 per cent on $10,000,00 900 of Government bonds would mean an annual increase of $25, 100000 in interest charges. and that this money void 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 well 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 Az 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''
