Probably very largely moved by the idea that it would help to convince occasional hesitator that the bonds are, in fact good money. But it is bad policy and should be abandoned.
 As the secretary points out, the Liberty Bond is only appeal to patriotism but also to thrift; only appeal to but of thrift The government wants the people to get and more in the habit of saving and thus become and capable of supporting it in it's great struggle for lasting peace. But it is plan that this habit, which is capable of providing reservoirs of sources will be retarded If holders encouraged their bonds for the purchase of arti cles of need.

Lie SERVICE RESERVE" In re-
sponse to this call in order that our
success in this war may not be men,
aced by failure on account of lack of
ships
Now, therefore, l. Moses Alexan-
der, Governor of the State of Idaho,
hereby appeal tn the 10y skilled
workmen of his State to lay aside
all considerations for personal profit
and convenience and respond to the
Nations call and enlist in this great
unit of the shipbuilders of the Ma
tion, and thereby place themselves
on the same plane with the boys who
have gone to the battlefront.
This appeal is directed particular
ly to the labor organizations of the
State who have shown such loyalty in
the past and upon whose shoulders
now largely rests the duty of assist
ing the Government to procure the
necessary artisans for the proposed
service so the activities of war may
not be interrupted; and while this
appeal is made to the artisans of our
State, it is also made to the State
! Council of Defense, every citizen
land to every organization whose ac-
tivities can be directed towards this
goal and assist the Nation in this
particular activity of supplying ships
to carry on our warfare to a success
full conclusion
Every community is urged to hold
public meetings and to perfect organ
fzations in order that the State of
Idaho may be prepared to furnish its
quota of men in this most important
of activities, to keep the line of trans
portation between the battlefields of
Europe and the store houses of Amer
lea open and thereby realize the hope
| of the Nation that this contest may
be speedily ended and autocracy and
despotism be banished from the face
of the earth.

unto set my hand and have caused

The old saying still holds good, the
American people would rather believe

where the rattlesnakes were very
plentiful and whenever ] ran across

ment that we have among us, sc

hears one of those groundless re-
marks. he should deem 1t his patri-

proper authority. so that steps can be
