LABOR AND CAPITAL UNITE
All Glasses Must Buy Liberty Bonds
 to Help Win the War.

We are face to face with the most critical situation in American affairs The time has come when each indi- vidual, no matter what his or her call ing, must do his utmost to help in winning the war to rid the world of German autocracy, to protect his home and the love of freedom, and to insure the coming generations that same freedom which is so dear to every American citizen.
 In this cause there must be no class distinction; the laborer and cap italist are equally interested and af fected, and each must, for the time, forget self and stand shoulder to shoulder in helping the government in this crisis.
 A war cannot be conducted without money. Less than 10,000,000 people subscribed to the first two Liberty Loans. There ought to be 30,000,000 subscribers to the Tkird Liberty Loan.
 Let us all put up solid front of complete and determined cooperation and see to it that the present Liberty Loan is fully and promptly subscribed

YOUR PATRIOTISM
 TOLD IN DOLLARS
The size of Your Bond Purchase, means Considered, Tells the Tale. What is it worth to VOL?

The size of Your Bond Purchase. means Considered, Tells the Tale.
 What is it worth to you?
 Does American Liberty mean any thing ill your scheme of life? If 1t does, just try to put money value on 1t.
 But, you say-and you say rightly tits value can not be measured in dollars and cents. It goes beyond money It lays upon all the higher and bigger things in life. It repre- sents things that no amount of money can buy. It is-.
 But hold on minute. We know all that, and still we ask you to put a money value on American Liberty. How much does 1t mean to you?
 What would it mean, to put it other wise, if there were danger of it's being driven from you-and if MONEY, a big sum of money, were the only thing that could prevent How much would you give for Liberty, the real American brand of 1t, under those cir cumstances?
 There is reason for asking these questions-absurd as they may seem. And that reason lies in the conditions confronting us all today.
 It is humaply possible. since all things are possible, that the hordes of tho Huns may overrun Europe and the whole civilized world If they do. the American type of Liberty will come near to vanishing from the earth. You will enjoy much diluted and sadly modified form of it, at best.
 If we are wise, we will acknowledge the danger and do our utmost to avert it. That can best be done by those of us who can not go to the front by loaning the United States Government all of our money that we can. It takes money-u -unthinkable sums of money more money than the world has ever had called for for any purpose hither- toto carry on the Big Business of Defense that is to make the world safe for Democracy and perpetuate the American ideal of Liberty not only in America but throughout the world.
 So get down to brass tacks," and count up the value of American Lib erty in MONEY Then buy your part of the Third Liberty Loan and buy it gladly.
 You might even help some other fel- low buy part of his.
 It's worth the price.

FARMERS SUPPORT THE LOAN
By Clifford V. Gregory, Editor, the Prairie Farmer.

It takes money to fight a great war through to victory and it is up to us to furnish it. There was some criti. cism at the time of the second Liberty Loan U the effect that farmers were not buying bonds as liberally as they should. Most of this criticism was uniustited, though there is here and there a stacker in the country as we'll as elsewhere. We are in better shape to subscribe to this Loan for it comes at a time when We have more of the years products turned into cash.
 Let us subscribe with willingness that will make criticism impossible, that will show Uncle Sam the farm CTS of America are behind him with their money as well as with their blows. Every dollar subscribed to the Liberty Loan helps to bring i'e kaiser's day of reckoning nearer.

FARMERS BACK LIBERTY LOAN
By Alison Secor,
Editor, Successful Farming.

Editor, Successful Farming.
 There are about 100000 men now under arms, training to fight, and it takes a lot of money to feed, clothe, transport and equip such force or consumers who previously were self supporting Uncle Sam cannot at once reach into the pockets of those who stay at home and draw out by tax ation enough money to pay the bills of such an army and navy. The only possible source of ready cash is to borrow from those who have it.
 The farmers have shown their energy in producing the largest crops and have endured hardships due to a shortage of help, and l believe they will loan to Uncle Sam every dollar they can spare, thus giving full sup port to the farmers sons who are ready to make the supreme sacrifice that we may not be conquered by such foe as Germany.
 Just as your few bushels of grain and pounds of meat will, when put with the products of all the farms, save a world from starvation, so the amount of your money, put with all the money which may be loaned to the government for Liberty bonds, will prevent this great war from ending in favor of the foe. Liberty bonds are receipt for the money you lend Uncle Sam, and they bear Az per cent interest.

SIOUX CITY WINS H0N0RS
Iowa City Claims She Was First to Oversuhscribe Liberty Loan
 Quota.

Sioux City, Iowa. has not only won the honor flag for the first large city completing it's Liberty Bond quota. but has hung up record that is unprece- deuted
 The Iowa city, in one hour, pledged $2,524.4 400 worth of bonds. SIPS, 400 more than it's quota called for. The pledges were made by 4.051 subscrib- CTS. On the basis of the 1910 census this showing would mean sales at a per capita basis of S5S.36 for every person in the city. The sales were made by a force of 500 solicitors. The city is now out for all extra star for it's flag.

SOMEBODY DLUNDEnEO:
 II WAS THE PaUSs|ANS
Germany Went Wrong In Estimating the English, French and
 Americans. z,s

Lack of understanding of other na- tions, of other peoples. has ever been tho predominant weakness of the Prussian militarists. Posing as lead ers in philosophy and psychology they have nevertheless failed completely in their analysis of human nature in any people outside their own bound ary lines of dominion.
 They misunderstood the French. They blundered in their estimate of the English. They muddled their dealings with the Russians. And the world at large now knows how far they missed reading us alright. They thought us a nation of money grub. bers, of apologists rather than fight CTS, and even yet they are refusing to concede their mistake. But they know better in their own hearts.
 Uncle Sam's first rude disturbance of the Prussian serenity was his dec laration of war. His second shock to Prussian confidence was tho rapid fire manner in which he began the up building of his armed forces. Then came the tremendous over-subscrip- ton of the first Liberty Loan, an al together unexpected performance. And when this was repeated in the second Liberty Loan drive it was real ly appalling.
 Now the Prussian interest is cen tered upon what the American people are going to do for the Third Liberty Loan in the face of recent events at the front. While the American troops along the firing line are emphasizing our spirit and determination, with 75- .centimeter guns. howitzers, machine guns, hand grenades, rifles and auto matics, 1t is up to us at home to do our sheliing with dollars.
 Ours Is by far the easier task. It has no savor of danger. On the con trary it is precaution against the pos sible menace of the future. It is SOW" ing seeds of security where they will grow to the benefit of both ourselves and our country.
 It is one of the greatest, the noblest. the most patriotic opportunities ever offered the American people.

To Cut Paper,

When you lose your knife or do not nave pair of scissors at hand for cut dng the paper common pin or needle of any kind serves the purpose admir- ably, says Popular Science Monthly. If 1t is single sheet from which the clipping is to be removed, lay the part on another paper, hold the pin slant wise so that tfe point will follow around the clipping, just as if tracing fits outline. Pass back over the scratch with the point in the 'ead and you will be surprised how smoothly the pin cuts the paper.

MR. FARMER, WAKE UP!
You Are Vitaliy Interested in This
 World War-Buy a Bond.

Too few farmers, far removed from the war, realize the, seriousness of our present predicament. The very fact that the farmer is not immediately in touch with the war makes the danger more imminent.
 Russia is made up of farming popu- lation, probably three-fourths of which knew very little of what the war over there meant. AS result the army was not provisioned and money not kept in circulation and the military machine collapsed. Support our army by buying bonds.

RINK DEPOSITS NOT
 DEPLETED BY LOANS
Ccspta the Fact Tn Billions Have Been Inves:c! in Liberty Bonds,
 an Increase Is Shown.

There is in some sections fear on the part of the banks that Liberty Loan subscriptions will tend toward a material decrease in bank deposits
 To offset this fear the following summary of the statement of the Comptroller Of Currency, dated April 15. 1918, should correct this impress sion.
 This statement, naturally, applies only to national banks but is doubt less also true of state banks and trust companies.
 On March 15, 1917, the total depos- it's of national banks were $12.957,- o00,o00, or nearly 13 billions
 l., spite of the sale of Liberty Bonds since that time of O,OOO,000, or about six billions, the deposits in na- tional banks on March 4, 1918, show an increase of $1,480 ,589,O00, or near ly one and one-half billion, as com pared with March 5, 1917.
 The total amount of Liberty Bonds owned by national banks on March 4, 1918, was $433, ,738,00O. This is less than $500.
 This amount of Liberty Bonds owned by national banks on March 4, 1918, is only about 71a per cent of the total of the first and second Lib erty Bond issues.
 These facts should be given by the directors of publicity to all banks in their localities.
 1t is the most accurate and forcible evidence of the effect upon bank de- pOSts of the Liberty Bond sales

DON'T BURY YOUR BOND
Deposit It in Your Bank and You Can Raise Money on It if You Need

When you and your neighbor have bought your Liberty Bonds don't take them home and hide them in the cup board. Take them to your country banker and have him give you certifi- cates of deposit for the bonds. Your banker can take these, bonds to Fed eral Reserve bank and borrow money for your use in case you suddenly find yourself in need of funds.
 Hiding bond in your stocking at this time is just as bad as hoardins mone". Keep the bonds and the money in circulation and the country Will pull through this crisis all right.

CHICAGO, March 5.-"Uncle Sam
is an exploiter Of men, If the packers
are. only to worse degree" declared
Carl Meyer, packers attorney, In
closing presentation of evidence be-
fore Arbitrator Samuel Alschuler in
the stock yards wage controversy
here today.
Meyer had Just finished showing
that the elevator men in federal
buildings here received only $50 a
, month and that letter carriers start
on a salary Of $500 annually. This Is
slightly less than the average wage
paid packing house employees, ac-
cording to evidence.
Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the
employees, asked Meyer whether his
purpose was to show that S65 a
month was enough.
at may not be enough said
Meyer, 'ebut if the packers are ac-
cused of exploiting men, then the
government is exploiting them"
Walsh sought to offset this show
ing by Immediately reading into the
records long letter from President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor who asserted that President
Wilson 'adheres to the eight hour
principal and time and half for
over time"
It was unexpectedly disclosed at

mission, has ordered further surveys
made in the principal American cite $
of the average workman's hous ehold
budget. These are to be made the
basis Of the commissions decision on

MOBILIZATION
Censorship In East Hides Develop
opments, but Movement ls
Thought Already
Under Way.

[By Carl D. Groat, United Press Stan
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Japan
appears about to plunge into Siberia
with an armed force.
This action is expected with en-
tente approval while American sane
ton will probably be withheld for the
present at least.
This was how the Japanese ST.
berian situation shaped up today in
the wake Of more than a week Of spec
ulation about it, while Japan prepared
for the movement, according to all in
dications here.
The American position, 1t is under
stood, has not been made known Of
f1cially, but the entente and japan ex-
pect no opposition from this govern
ment. 1t is assumed that there is a
sub-surface understanding with
America and she will not object after
the expedition once gets under way,
though it is quite possible that she
will make or request some statement
intended to clear up the purposes and
extent Of the Intervention.
Germany's ruthless disregard OF in
ternational proprieties as manifested
by her blows against the Ukraine and
Finland, even after a Russian peace
has been signed. indicate to authori-
ties the possibilities Of German action
in Siberia. Destruction Of a bridge
near Chita, on the Siberian railway,
shows too, which way the wind blows
in that quarter Germany will stop at
nothing, 1t is felt, though military re-
uuirements elsewhere might limit
her east bound course.
Japan's action is probably already
under way, for censorship hides
eastern Developments 1t is known
that mobilization in part Of Nippon
has begun and that military bills were
ready for the diet, indicating the i'm
minence Of Japanese military moves
She will probably be given a free
hand In eastern Siberia to protect the
vast horde Of supplies at Vladivostok
and to preserve the Siberian railway
as far as that is possible. What ef-
feet the intervention will have on the
Russians, is problematical, but there
! is a strong feeling here that it will
arouse the fighting spirit of the Slars,
drive some of them over to the Ger
mans and others to some sort of war,
fare and destruction in Siberia.
! 1t is likely that Bolsheviki or Ger
| mans will see to it that bridges On the
