w. c. T. U. Helps in
The Liberty Loan Campaign

The patriotic spirit Of the w. C, 7.
L. and its dependability in CO.
ordinating it's activities with other
organizations is evidenced by it's re-
spouse to the following letter:
Treasury Department, Washington,
d. c., April 6, 1918.
To the Officers Of the Local Unions
Of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union:
Miss Anna A. Gordon, President of
the National Woman's Christian
has asked us to transmit to you the
following letter IN behalf of the Third
Liberty Loan:
National Woman's Christian TEN
perance Union Headquarters, Evans
ton, III. For Immediate Attention of
the Local Union:
Dear Comrades: In the Third
Liberty Loan drive" now on as in
the first and second, members Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union are urged to do their patriotic
share in the purchase of bonds. A
local union having a permanent fund
cannot do better than loan il to Tn
Gle sam through the purchase of one
or more Liberty Bonds. At Il recent
meeting of four rational general ofti =
GERS, president, vice president, CORE
spending secretary and treasurer, it
was agreed to suggest to local unions
the following plan:
!. Every local union having per
manent funds is urged to loan its
money to the United States govern
mCnt through the purchase of Liberty
Bonds.
=. la) Wherever in a locality
there are those who cannot afford to
purchase a Liberty Bond, we recon
mend that they form groups for the
purchase of bonds and give these
bonds to the National or the State
w. c. T. L. tb> Where such groups
are not formed, Individuals are urged
to Immediately send any sums small
er than the value of bond to the
treasurer of the National w. G. T. L.
to be applied on the purchase Of
Liberty Bonds for the National w.
c. T. L.
Since the interest on these bonds
will be devoted to pushing the pa
triotic service OF National and State
Unions, it gives cur members in this
critical hour an opportunity to double
their patriotism. We very earnestly
appeal TO w. c. T. L. women for such
q doubling of patriotic effort during
the period of the Liberty Loan
drive" Money invested in Liberty
Loan Bonds is q loan to the United
States government and is fine secur
ity for the investment We hope that
YOU will not only give our govern
ment this fresh proof of your pa

triotism but VIII also aid the Ma

The State w. c. T. L. Immediately
responded by investing $4,000 from
