they fight to establish the supreme principle that mankind shall be free and tn [ liberty and justice shall be triumphant throughout the world.
 F Autoeracy should win in this titanic struggle for human rights. all our accomplishments of the past would be swept away and tyranny and oppression would be rampant through out the world Should that come true, no class would suffer as much as the men and women Of labor, and f will come true if we fail to support our Government in the present crisis
 A government can be no stronger than the people living under 1t make 1t. and if we fail to respond to our Governments appeal for help our var policy must collapse and our country men lover there" must fail. and in that event it is inevitable that the forces of autocracy shall be triumph ant over the forces of democracy Thus 1t is that every working man and working woman in America should buy Liberty Bonds
 Money Invested in Liberty Bonds is as safe as our Government itself The Illinois district Of the United Mine Workers of America has purch ased s5e0. 900 worth of the first, second and third issues of bonds out of district funds and we propose to buy s500,O0o worth of the fourth issue. Our various local unions have made purchases az gregating millions and l am certain they will buy bountifully Of ths fourth issue. The rate of interest paid on such investment is fair. However, the paramount reason why we should buy Liberty Bonds is because the fate of the world IS In the balance. the free dom and happiness of humanity is at stake. and the sale Of Liberty Bonds ia one of the mediums through which our Government must raise the money to feed and equip and to care for our sons and brothers, our relatives and associates, our countrymen-"the boys over there"-while they light to crush autocracy and to impiant in It's stead liberty and justice for all the peoples of all the nations Of the world

BOND BUYERS ONE OUT OF SIX
This Was Record for Entire Popula-
 ton in Third Liberty Loan.

One out of every six persons in the United States bought Liberty bonds of the third loan last April and May. The exact number of subscrib- CTS was 18.30S,325. or TIT per cent of the estimated population.
 New York State led in the volume of subscription. Delaware subscribed the highest percentage of the assign ed quota, and the City of Washington furnished the largest proportion of it's population as bond buyers
 This was disclosed in a-Treasury report of the third loan subscription by Federal Reserve Districts, States and principal cities. The loan total, $4,176.516,s50, represents an aggregate oversubscription of 13S per cent of the 3,000, ,0000, 900 goal.
 In volume of subscription the five leading States were New York, with S9S5. 900 ,0e0, or nearly one-fourth oi the nations total; Pennsylvania. S4S7, 900 900; Illinois, s27s, 900. .000; Massa chusstts. s22s. 900, 900. and Ohio. s225. 000. .00e

DO VAST BORROWINGS IF J. 5. TO H|N WAR
 CAUSE YOU WORRY?
Think of the Many Opportunities for investment Which the War
 Loans Offer.

The vast borrowings of the govern ment made necessary by the war have startled good many patriotic but short-thinking people. Inyoluntariiy perhaps, they feel that an exacting de- mand is being made on everybody and they grow uneasy and restless.
 Private and public expenditures are being curbed right and left so that the government may have more and mora money.
 But the money is staying right here in this country. And the great gov ernment war issues afford excellent investment opportunities to the bust ness man. He can loan his capital to the government at "A per cent inter est. a rate which after the war will, make a security of such safety gilt edged. and he can get his capital back at a time when it's purchasing power will be greatly increased.
 Financiers study Situation.
 No doubt these factors will l,e ap- preciated in time and the bonds will ultimately find their proper market levels" says the Wall Street Journal That financial journal goes on to say that the under-par prices quoted dur ing the summer on some of the issues reflect only temporary condition. IL says further that every effort is being made and will be made by the Secre- tary of the Treasury to see that all legislation which has to do with money will work out to the benefit of the bondholder
 Financiers who have studied the loan sales, which have been compara- lively few, report that large number of the transactions are started by mis- informed holders or small amounts of bonds who do not understand the tax statutes
 "A great many small investors in the and A per cen: bonds." says the Wall Street Journal ''do not seem to realize that their securities for the most part possess the same merits as the tax free 31e pc, cent bonds of the First issue. The As and 4As are fully as free from the normal income tax as the 8 1sS and no surtax or excess prof it's tax now effective or later to be enacted will be co.lectible on As and 4As unless the owner has more than $5,000 worth

 Uncle Sam needs the money ob- tained through the purchase of Lib erty Bonds to make ammunition, feed, clothe and to furnish other esential things needed in the maintaining of an army.

SMALL BONDHOLDER
 MISSES POINT AS TO
 VIRTUAL TAX ESCAPE
investor Should Realize All issues He Owns Are Practically Free
 From Taxation.

Financiers studying the market con- ditions with regard in particular to Liberty Bond figures find that a great many of the bond transactions are ini- tiated by Iersons who do not under stand the statutes which safeguard the various issues of bonds.
 For instance, small holders have been selling their and AZ per cent bonds in order to buy the 31a per cent bonds of the first loan, because the 21as are completely exempt from tax. As 8 matter of fact. for the small in- vestor the 4s and 4As carry the same freedom from taxation, practically. No tax now in existence or later to be levied can affect the As and 4As un- less the holder owns 5000 worth or more.
 Wall Street Opinion.
 Hence. the great majority of tho small investors pay no tax on the bonds of the Second or Third issues. The Wall Street Journal recently said:
 More to be deplored is the general lack of appreciation of the ultimate value of the Liberty Bond, no matter of what description. All the econom- les of war and finance point to govern ment bonds as the most far-sfghted and soundest investment person can make during these times. Investing in government bonds now is buying with cheap money call on dear money in the future"

When the American people locked up their automobiles for gasiess Sun day on Sept. they saved enough money to provide Gen. Pershing's army with 5000 machine guns casting, t2s0 each
 They saved enough money to buy food for the American Expeditionary, Forces in Europe for two whole days.

 They saved enough money to pay for a5.7s4 completely equipped rifles of the type the American infantryman carries when he goes into conflict.
 A Big Saving.
 These figures were revealed in A Treasury statement, issued recently, appealing to the American public to turn it's savings from abstinence into War Savings Stamps or set them aside for investment in Liberty Bonds. The Treasury statement reminded the pub lie that these savings which are being effected are of no value to the govern ment in it's prosecution of the war unless they are made available for it's use
 The Fuel Administration reported that the saving of gasoline on the sec ond gasless Sunday amounted to 5.000,000 gallons, which, valued at 2S cents gallon, meant saving to American pocketbooks of $1,250, ,0e0. In transportation alone this meant . saving of S25 tank cars for an average haul of 200 miles.
 The rubber saved by giving tires . days rest would be sufficient to equip $500 motor trucks for the American army with tires capable of running S.00o miles.

Every working man and working woman in America should buy Liberty Bonds to ths limit Of their ability to do SO They should buy until 1t hurts. and after it begins to hurt they should keep on buying until their purchase becomes a personal sacrifice for the reason that upon the outcome Of the war raging depends the future fate of the workers of America.
