LIBERTY DAY II HAlI
fAR=REACHING APPEAL
As HARVEST FESTIVAL
Boards Of Education Are Cooperating
With Liberty Loan organiza.
tlon for Oct. IL.

Liberty Day in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign will be Saturday, Oct.
70. In former loans Liberty Day was
observed on the second Friday of the
campaign.
L. B. Franklin, Director of War
Loans, in communication to the head
of the Liberty Loan Organization pub
licity department, in announcing the
change, which has been suggested by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton, speaks of the appropriateness Of
the day, the anniversary of the dis
covery of America, for the purpose.
The Treasury Department, in CO.
operation with the United States Bu-
reau OF Education, will request every
school district in the United States
city, town and oountryside-to arrange
for the celebration Of the discovery OF
America with an appropriate harvest
home festival
There is" says Mr.. Franklin, "a
logical unity between both of these
ideas and the Liberty Loan. When the
people OF a community recount the
fruits Of their summers labor they
will naturally ask themselves what
share of them they ought to invest in
Liberty Bonds. When they come to
realize what the discovery of America
has meant to them personally, what II
has meant for the cause Of freedom
and democracy, what It will mean for
the salvation Of the world in the pres
ent world tragedy. when they begin to
feel all this they must of necessity say
this is worth investing in, worth fight
ing for, worth making any sacrifice
for.
In Every Community.
ITO create this state OF mind is the
purpose Of celebrating the discovery
OF America. 1t is our hope that the
nationwide celebration will stir such
enthusiasm over Americas mission in
the world as to enable each commun-
ity to reach at least its quota by that
day. Let every local community make
this its goal and on Liberty Day an
nounce the achievement and rejoice
over It.
"The Bureau OF Education, at the
request Of the Treasury Department,
is preparing suggestions for a harvest
home festival celebration and has the
facilities for mailing them to almost
every one of the 100000 schools In
the United States.
"The harvest home festival is our
earliest form of American celebration,
before cities were built, and il would
be a distinct gain to carry the idea
-o~er into city life. The characteristic
harvest of the city is not fruit or grain,
but the products Of social life, like
commerce, arts, music, architecture.
City and country communities will OF
course celebrate the day each after its
own fashion, but the harvest home
idea applies equally to both. What
ever a community's particular type OF
product may be, on Liberty Day its
aim should be to reap a harvest OF
dollars for democracy. On this day
we meet not as city or country people,
but as citizens, ali united for the sin.
gle purpose Of serving the nation by
devoting a part of our products to its
needs"

With each train is a corps Of speakers,
civilians, and soldiers who have seen
actual service and who are sent back
to recover from their wounds. These
speakers describe the various arms
and the soldiers describe the battles
in which they fought and in which
they received their wounds.
The train is made up of flat cars,

The workers in charge of the train live

The Strange Case of Edgar Alfred
Allen and Oscar A.. McGinni

When Edgar Alfred Allen was a little
boy with curls,
He used to cut out paper dolls and
play around with girls;
He never did a naughty thing; he new
err was a knave;
And all the people on the block said:
he does behaved"
At school he always studied till he got
the highest mark;
At college Edgar never went with boys
upon a lark.
He never lost his temper, and no mat
ter what occurred,
He never would articulate a naughty,
naughty word.
Now, Oscar A. McGinnis was a differ
ent sort of lad:
He was the kind Of whom the neigh
bors said: THAT boy is bad!"
pulled the hair Of little girls and
gave them all tho creeps,
And people used to say he played at
, marbles-and for keeps!
captain of the team.
Although the old professors held him
not in esteem.
A virile, brave, intrepid, fearless man
was Oscar A.,
And n who everybody said was sure
to make his way.
Well, Oscar Joined the army, as the
brave men always do.
And Edgar Alfred Allen? Why, he
Joined the army. too.
And after several. months in camp
they both achieved the chance
To come and fight the glorious battle
over here in France. -,
Edgar Allen, who in boyhood's days
was never known to swear,
Displayed conspicuous valor, and he
got the Croix de Guerre.
And Oscar A. McGinnis, who'd been
fearless all his life,
Likewise achieved the Croix de Guerre
for bravery in the strife.

This is the little story Of two soldiers
