VOLUNTARY PURCHASES.


The Liberty Loan Organization
OF the Eight Federal Reserve
District is preparing strongly to
advocate a method of Liberty
Bond purchase that the Times
has advocated as strongly as it
coulI since the preparatory days
OF the first Liberty Loan drive.
That is voluntary purchase of
bonds to the fullest extent of the
purchasers power to save money.
Such voluntary purchase would
relieve to a great extent the labor
of the selling organization; and
would bring about a far greater
oversu description than We ever
have seen
The Central Com mittee of this
reserve district has set apart
sSaprc'n0ef :" Inu % as V0fuIi.
toer Days for the next Liberty
Loan; and it is hoped that the
publicity efforts that are to toll
low that decision will fix these
two dates firmly in the minds of
the people. Full opportunity
will be given for everybody to
make bond purchases; and the
people are urged to prepare them.
selves to purchase voluntarily
and generously for the two days
before the campaign begins.
The war is right now at its most
critical stage, which fact should
cause every purchaser to make
up his or her mind to a very
high maximum. =
The com mittee insists upon this
point: That the people must not
gnage their purchasing ability by
the amount of money they have
in bank. They must rather set
tie the extent of their first pay
ments by the AMOUNT of money
they have in bank, and prepare
to save daily, weekly, monthly
enough money to meet their de
ferred payments. The Times
very earnestly urges every citis
zen to take these suggestions to
their hearts there should be no
need TO point out what the money
is needed for Louisville Times

STAR COMEDIAN
WANTS TO FLY

When the army authorities turned
down the request OF Lew Hilton, star
comedian at the Gayety Theater this
week with the Girls OF the U. S. A.
company, to be a flyer, they put the
qUietus on the hopes OF one OF the
most enthusiastic would-be aviators
in the length and breadth OF the
land.
There was nothing really wrong
with the Gayety star, the army doc
tors told him, according to his story
today, but he was generally untitled
for aviation, and on that subject Hill
ton has pondered and studied for these
many years. Even now the versatile
Hebrew laugh-maker is hoping there
was a mistake in the records some
where, and he will wake up some
fine morning to find by his bedside an
official envelope from the War De,
partment, calling him to duty.
Ever since Hilton accepted the def
of a circus balloon performer at a
country fair in his home in California
to take a flight, made a trip up and
landed in the top OF a tree. he has
been dead set on becoming the worlds
star flyer. When the war came Hill.

thought would come the chance for
him to make his contemporaries in
