FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

September 18th. The amount of this
loan is six billion dollars.
This amount will he taken. oi

Lords would be encouraged and de
lighted to see this loan drag unenlhu-
siastically along. 1t would look, and
be construed, as though Americas

we were losing interest. Every pos

when the time comes plank it down

GIVE ORDERS OR TAKE ORDERS
WHICH,?

The young man of today within Il
few years, will be in the position to
give orders, or be compelled to take
orders from others
Which it shall be depends entirely
upon the young men themselves
Money, or the lack of it, will deter
mine which.
Whether old age shall find us de-
pendent or Independent of crcum-
stances, depends upon whether OF
not we have a competency. We must
live from our own incomes, or upon
the income of some one else This
IS self evident And this is not
saying or intended to teach, that
money should be the chief end of
life's ambitions. But when il comes
to the matter of bread, meat and
clothes and a roof TO shelter our
heads, money comes mighty nigh
being chief. The good book says, not
money, but "the love of money is Il
(not "the") root of all evil" The
abuse of money makes it an evIl'
thing to have about, but, at any rate,
it is an absolute necessity when the
wolf threatens to break in-your
money or some body elsc's money
must keep him outside.
What we are trying to say and
snsist upon, is, that every young
man, while still young, strong and
in good health, should by industry
and economy, save his earnings.
save something for the "cvil day.
which is sure to come by and by.
There has never been such oppor-
tunities afforded young men to make
money, nor such easy and sure
means of saving it, as right now in
these United States and in this bles-
sed state of Virginia, and county oil
TaZewcll
The President has asked for and
received over l20 million dollars
in loans from the people of Virginia.
Another loan is asked for and will
be made, larger than either of the
other three. Thrift Stamps are on
sale, as low as % cents. All of this
money subscribed in amounts to
meet the wants and ability of every
class of citizcn-mcn, women and
children, is Il loan, to be returned in
few years with interest. There
never has been such an opportunity
to invest money.
The young man who cannot in
crease his earnings now, and save
something for n rainy day, had just
rs well give it up, and make up his
mind to take orders from somebody
else until he gets too old to work,
or his health breaks down, and look
around for soft, place to fail If his
wife is younger and strong she may
support him by washing, or some
other hard work until she breaks
down. If they have children they
may find home and support with
them.
But the man who has not been
economical and saving himself is no;
likely to have taught his children
lessons Of thrift, and they will, in
all PROBABILITY, be like their father,
taking orders all their lives, instead
OF giving orders to others. Will the
young man heed teachings which
some OF us older ones didn't have
sense enough to heed when we were
young?

WARM THOUGH FAR NORTH

1t is difficult to realize, but it is
none the less true, that the Thurman
Coast of Russia, which the allica
troops have occupied, is as far north
as King William Land, where Sir
John Franklin and his men aband-
oned the Ercbus and the Terror. But
the Gulf Stream makes all the eli
matte difference. For that reason \,
is possible for Quebec to be much
further south than London, and Bos-
ton and New York to be on the
parallels of latitude of Spain and
yet have Winters of great severity.

New York.-It is impossible to avoid
bitter discussion ON the question of en-
PERTAINING our soldiers and sailors. AS
this struggle progresses, writes a fash
ion correspondent, it may be that the
entire social fabric will cease to rend
itself apart with personal and national
arguments for and against people, In
and out of power, institutions for the
good of the cause, and the various
phases Of money expenditure that have
arisen in the last year. .
Anyone who goes about in various
sectors of society-und by that Is
meant the grouping of people for all
purposes, not alone gayety-begins to
feel that the hate which is engendered
IN the battlefield has its reflection in
the minds of those who are not in the
struggle, except on the side-lines.
A Civil war veteran says that this
pitching of women into the public
arena, with its alleged bad effect on
their tempers and temperaments, has
nothing to do with the situation; that
the Civil war engendered the same kind
of personal animosities. Yet the Civil
WARMTH all its tragedy, hate, death
and sacrifice, which necessarily af-
In America more than this war has
done-did not throw together
in groups of thousands.
Is it odd, therefore, in this rather
malevolent turn which emotions have
taken during a year of war, that the
question of entertaining our soldiers
should be thrown into the arena of
argument?
Reason for Brilliant costumery.
Now we come to the question of
clothes from this peculiar and en-
phatic situation which has arisen
through the conviction that the fight
ers must be entertained, going and
coming.
Whatever the government has asked
women to do in the way of clothes
they have done gladly, but that does
not keep them from dressing well
every day and night as they pass to
and from one entertainment to an
other.
These gowns are far from expensive
in the mass. OF course, the individual
who has money continues to spend it
in going to her OWL dressmaker and
paying well for excellent cloth, good
fitting and perfect finish but the aver
age woman, even though she have
money, has begun to find out all kinds
of places where smart-looking clothes

THAT OTHER ARMY

Not only America, but all the world
is singing the praises of the Yanks.
They have had their baptism of fire
and have nObly stood the test. They
have carried the fight TO the enemy
with a dash and vim that has been
Irresistible. They have vanquished
the best of the crack Prussian divis-
ion set to stay their advance. They
have upheld every tradition of Ameri-,
a arms and have thrown a chill of
apprehension into the very heart of.
the German hordes. They are win
ming their crosses every day.
But there is another army Of which,
no American is proud, MOI ever can
be-that army of non-buyers of Lib
.erty Bonds-that army of slackersI
In it r the pacifists. the dollar
pinchers and the pro-Germans, the

YOU COUNT in ONE WAY ONLY

Never, so much as now, has the in
dividual counted for so little.
Individual rights, individual privi-
leges, Individual responsibilities have
given way to the greater considera-
ton. the welfare of the people as a
whole.
For nations, not peoples or races,
have taken in hand the d%estinies Of
the world. The individual has been
pre-emptorily put aside.
Whether liberty shall live or perish
from the earth is for determination
in the aggregate. 1t is not for any
one man to say.
The Kaiser soon Is to realize this.
But there is one way in which you
can count.
One way in which you may still
make yourself felt throughout this
storm-tossed world.
You can make your little individual
contribution to the cause of freedom,
of world democracy, of permanent
peace.
You can buy a Liberty Bond.
You may otherwise be subordinated,
effaced, shunted into comparative
oblivion and made to feel that you
no longer count.
But here you can take your place
you can buy Liberty Bonds!

FRONTIERS OF FREEDOM

Freedoms first seed was sown when
the Pilgrim Fathers stepped ashore
at Plymouth Rock more than a cen
erty had been only a dream in the
minds of men. Absolute despotism
had ruled the world.
And little they dreamed of the har-
vest that would eventually come.
The first fruits came in the Decla-
ration of Independence. The first
real harvest was these United States
of America, "of the people, for the
people and by the people," dedicated
Ito the rights and liberties of free men
for all time.
And now the Ieaven of freedom is
working half way round the world.
Its frontiers are extending in every
direction. Despotism is doomed.
Liberty's day is dawning for the world
at large.
And America is seeting the pace,
blazing the trails, and inspiring the
downtrodden of all countries to de-
mand a greater measure of privilege
in the regulation of their rights, their,
individual liberties and their govern
ments.
T., Out of it all will come, when this
world holocaust is finally extinguish-
ed, an unprecedented era of peace.
and world freedom.
War will be shelved as a relic of a,
bygone barbarism. For, as never be-
fore, the old world is wal weary; ap-,
palled at the wanton destruction of,
human life, and near to bankruptcy,
from the imperative wastage of
treasure.
1t is we'll worth fighting for. +,
And that is the big incentive to the
apostles of freedom. Fer with ii
must come the putting aside of the
Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs;
the finish of Prussianism the end for
all absolute monarchies, and a Ger
many of new ideals and government.
None of us but would welcome this
none but hope to see that day.
And all of us must lend our hands
and our dollars to help the fight.
Get ready for the Fourth Liberty
Loan.

LIBERTY BOND PRIMER
THE WHEAT GROWERS DEBT

How much does the American wheat
grower owe to the United States
Navy?
OF course, he owes his share of APP
probation for the defense of his
country. He may owe the preserva-
ton of his farm and home. But that
is dealing in incalculables.
What actual money, countable and
beyond all doubt, does he W at the
present time?
We Rave always been a big wheat
exporting country. 1t is true that we
could comfortably consume more Of
our wheat at home than we are do
ing now; but we never have consum-
ed it all, or anything approaching all
,of it, at home, and there is no reason
to believe that we could, especially
a bumper crop like this years.
If our export Of wheat were cut off,
the wheat grower would not be get
ting $3.50 a bushel for his wheat. He
probably would not be getting $780,

The American farmer has Trouble

WISHING WON'T DO!
You Must Buy Bonds TO Get
the War Really Ended. 4
BY T. J. MULVEY.

Do you want US to win this war!
Well, Just saying SO isn't going TO
do it. mere wishing it isn't going to
do it, eitherl You've got to act!
This isn't the old-tiIne war we used
to read about in hlstories-a profess
sional sort of thing between profess
sional soldiers-at least, it's not that
kind Of war on our side. It's the civil
lized world-the plain people of the
decent nations Of the world against
an ov~er-bearing, war-mad race drunk
with the lust of conquest and Of Its
own superiority. Germany thought
and wants to keep on thinking-that
she was IT. Well, she's not, because
the decent nations of the world want
to live their lives in their W way
the United States among the rest.
And there's only one way TO make
that clear to Germany-and to our
selves; and that way is to overwhelm
Germany, and to do 1t at once.
Now, then, that's your affair, just
as much as it's the affair Of your
Boys over in France and elsewhere.
And it's a business you can't attend
to in a h%alf-hearted way. You've got
to go at it as you 90 at the business
of making a living-you've got to go
at it tooth and nail. The amount of
money you thought you'd put into
bonds of this Fourth Liberty Loan
isn't enough. You've got to treble
the amount, even if you pay on the
instalment plants going to take
that to win. And you want to win !
All right, then, get busy in a way TO
win!

MOREi-or lose even the ability to
earn and make money altogether

Amount.

THE NEW BUTTONS
Rules Governing Their Distribution
Should be Strictly Observed.

Should be Strictly Observed.
AS a Liberty Loan button is a
badge of honor, signifying not only
that its owner has purchased at least
one bond, but is proud Of having thus
underwritten Uncle Sam. il is i'm
portant that this emblem shall not be
cheapened by passing it out indiscrim-
inately. Therefore, the following
rules will govern the distribution Of
buttons in the city of Philadelphia !:
The wearing of the hutton proves
that the owner has made at least the
first payment for his bonds.
He therefore receives it where he
makes that payment and when he
makes that payment.
Solicitors are not permitted to take
cash. Any solicitor who asks you for
cash and gives you a button is not au-
thorized to do so, and should be re-
ported at once to Liberty Loan Head
quarters.
Therefore, there are only two places
in Philadelphia where you can get a
Liberty Bond Button.
First-At a bank (~including trust
company, etc.).
Second-At the Industrial plant
where you work. if the payment is de-
Quoted from your wages.

priced dressmakers, they have their
w clientele who will probably "
leave them, so they do not worry. AS
they say, there are always enough
individual fittings, which require ex-
pert workers. So everyone is satisfied,
economically and commercially.
New Clothes That Paris Sends.
Now, of one thing be very certain:
that while the French do not entertain
the French poilu, they are most excit-
ed about the Anglo-Saxon idea.
The result is an thrush of gowns to
this country during the last few weeks,
and these are sent over in order to
allure those who are dancing and din
ing the fighters. The gowns are ex-
pensive, but they will be speedily
copied by the inexpensive shops, and
so 'Arriet, who goes out to an enter
tainment with AIRY, will have the
chance to buy for eight dollars and a
half a copy of the French gown that
cost $500. That is the happiness
found in treading the sartorial path in
America.
1t is good to get these advance
things from Paris. They foreshadow
what is to be shown to American buy
ers.
If they are honest forerunners of
our early autumn costumery, then
Paris has not created a revolution in
the silhouette, as was persistently ru-
mored during the month of June. The
salient points of these new clothes are
slenderness, shortness of skirts, an at
tempt to revive the minaret of Paul
Poiret fame, an insistence upon sashes
arranged in army fashion, a repetition
of beige, mustard and tan colorings,
and the introduction of broadcloth.
Floating panels, which have for six
months dotted the entire surface of
clothes in America, have been abol-
ished, if we judge by these f~orerunners.
There are capes on evening gowns
which are made in the most brilliant
fairy-tale manner, reminiscent of the
extravaganzas in the old days at the
Drury Lane theater in London.
There are no high collars. The Ital-
ian decolletage is retained. The Sc
we're neck line, without a line of white,
remains a part of the fashions.
Medieval TUNES Still in Fashion.
There has been no disposition on the
part of the French designers to lift the
tunic out of its popular position in ap-
parel. They do not insist upon it in
its genuine Slavic style, but they use
1t as a model for much that Is done In
the way of over-drapery.
There are tunics that are cut to a
deep poin4 at each side and are moth
ing but side pieces Owe a long en-
%broidered cuirass that reaches nearly
to the knees of a dark skirt.
