Washington. D. C. 7 0 NCLE SAM has pressed the but ton, and the countless activities N U of his publicity agents are again
 drawing forth the dollars by the hundreds of millions a day. The money subscribed to the first three loans was more than s10,0o0, 600. 600. The present drive wilt add S6.0O0 000, 600 more and the total will be l6000,000,e00 a sum greater than tho government revenues of all the coun- tries of all the world the year the Kaiser started out to conquer the universe, and more than one-fourth the amount those countries owed a year later.
 Sixteen billion dollars! It represents more gold than can be dug from the earth at the present rate of production within the next generation. It repre- sents so much that if it were melted to bullion and loaded at 50 tons to the car, the train required to haul it would be almost half a mile long. It represents so many dollar bills that if the bank notes were pasted together, end to end, they would make a green ribbon 100000 miles long. l have measured one of these bills. It is a scant seven and one-half inches long, and a rather full three inches wide. With these figures you can easily cal- culate the length and width of the road round the world it would carpet Rough ly speaking, the road would be 20 feet biggest touring rs to travel abreast uron it, and every inch of the way would be on dollar bills.
 Now, all this money is to come from nation whose people have not been accustomed to investing in government bonds. The subscribers to the loans ot the past have been numbered by thou sands. Those to the Liberty Loans of today are millions. The first three loans have had more than 31 100000 individual subscriptions, and the prospects are that the fourth loan will have 25,000O0 more At this writing there have been enough subscriptions to equal one or more bonds for every family in the United States; and, by the end of the drive i've are now making, so many more will have been added that the number of subscriptions, if divided equally, would give a bond to every two men, women and children in our whole country. Now, every one of these millions of subscribers is like the Man from Missolri. He has to be shown. He has to be educated to the fact that his money is safe. and his patriotism has to be so aroused that he is willing to give This letter is to show you something of how that work has been done.

 The copy for such advertisements is furnished by the Liberty Loan publicity bureau. and it has been written by the ahlest men of the country. Among the special writers who were called upon for the first three loans were William Dean Howells, Booth Tarllington, Irwin $. Cobb, George Ade and many others, and their work was circulated by the tens of millions To provide such copy fol the present loan, President Wilson was asked to write an advertisement, and this will be the first published during the campaign. He wrote it with pen and ink. and his writing has been so re- produced that it occupies practically page. Other copy has been prepared by Secretaries McAdoo,l Baker and Daniels, and by General Pershing, Henry Cabot Lodge, Rudyard Kipling and others os international reputation. MI of these men have given their best brains to the work, and the result is some of the most convincing copy ever furnished the newspapers

Much of the loan literature goes out in the form of special articles for indi- vidual papers and magazines During the third loan one weekly having a circula tion of more than% 100000 published an interview with Secretary McAdoo. and many of the magazines printed articles written without charge by our ablest writers and furnished by the publicity bureau. Syndicate articles were publish ed simultaneously all over the country, directed to certain classes of the peo- pie. One was writtef by Herbert Quick entitled The War, the Farm and the Farmer" It had a circulation in the farm papers of more than 5,000,O0U and was then printed in paiiiIISS,s7iet form and distributed to the number of 100o,W0 throughout the rural mail boxes of every part of the union

The illustrators of the United States are doing their bit They are supply
 ing sketches for the posters and car
 toons which are being sent out by the
 millions. During the last loan Ii posters
 were printed and 9,00000O copies made
 and shipped to all of the states. In
 addition more than 5000 24-sheet posters
 of billboard size were distributed to the
 poster advertising men. This was done
 free of charge, and without any expense
 to the government except printing the
 posters. Ten million posters will be used
 during the present drive. In every city
 special Liberty Loan billboards are be-
 ing placed on public grounds and boards of ornamental design are being erected by the local advertising interests with out charge.
 As to the cartoons. they represent the ablest of our newspaper artists Hum dreds have been sent in to the publicity bureau. During the last three loans 46 or the best were selected and printed in what is known as the Cartoon Book, This book has no text but the pictures tell
 the story more forcibly than any amount of writing could dos It reminds one of ! the remark of Boss Tweed al the time he was being persecuted by Thomas Mast, i the father of American cartoonsts. Tweed said T don't care what they say about me in the newspapers. Many
 of my people cannot read. But as for l those pictures of Nasts any one but a blind man can tell what they mean. l Five million copies of the Cartoon Book 1 were distributed broadcast last spring. l Proofs were furnished to the newspapers, and the cartoons were sent out also in matrices and boiler plate.

 We have in this country over 6.u00,0do farms and the receipts from crops and live stock products last year were some thing like S2l, 900 000,0e0.

CTS are now being distributed. and the ar engagements with the postoffice depart~ ment are such that Liberty Loan litera- ture is deposited in every rural mail box. The publicity bureau has also mailing list of something like 3,000,0o0 farmers, and it is sending out to these men special
 ly addressed envelopes urging them to
 subscribe to the Loan. This work is
 done by newspaper mailing machines,
 which make eight carbon copies, the ad-
 ditional cartoons being saved for future
 drives In addition everp postmaster
 gets Liberty Loan literature without ad-
 dresses, which he hands over to the rural
 mail carriers to be put into every mail
 box. In this way 100000 copies of d
 pamphlet containing reproduction. in
 colors of the Liberty Loan honor flag
 were distributed during the last Loan.
 That is said to be the largest single dis
 tribution ever undertaken.
 The farm weeklies are printed for the
 most part from boiler plate, and the
 Liberty Loan committee has made pub licity boiler plate and furnished it to all country weelllies free of cost.
 The story of enlisting the farmers is not confined to the newspapers. An enormous work has been done by the public speakers, who have given their nightly addresses in every country dis trict. Last spring the Secretary of the Treasury sent out letter to more than 100000 rural school directors asking them l to call Liberty Loan rallies in the school houses. The replies came in by the thou sands and special speakers were pro- vided. More than 100000 such rallies will be held during the present drive and the work will probably be stimulated by spe- cial messages from President Wilson ana | Secretary McAdoo. The influence of such efforts is beyond computation. During the last Loan 8 single message of the Secretary of the Treasury was read tc 300,000 different audiences on the same night. It was telegraphed to the Liberty Loan executive committees and relayed | by them

A MARVELLOUS INVENTION. Shrinker and Finisher Being Demon.
 strated at the Boston Store This
 Week,

Takes the shrink out of every ma ferial: conserves the fabric: increases its wear: makes wrinkles vanish; sets even doubtful colors. Such are the merits of the wonderful new machine, about which crowds gathered all day Tuesday, just within the Main street entrance of the Boston store
 The machine is being demonstrated by@its inventor, Albert Bray, of Cleve- land. O., who explains that the ordi- nary method of sponging cloth. now made to seem antiquated by his de- vice, was the idea of Beau Brummell back in 1S10. By this new method velvet wooleh, linen, silk. any material in fact IS given scientific. spotless shrinking, sponging and pressing.
 Many customers of the Boston store improved the chance to have newly purchased goods shrunk and pressed Tuesday, and tailors and others whc saw the machine were enthusiastic over it's qualities. Tuesdays shrink ing was free; but from now on the charge will be cents for cloth and ; cents for woolen fabrics. Being put through the machine, steamed arc pressed revived even the oldest good. in a wonderful degree, the pile on vel. vet being raised, and wrinkles in long. folded cloth vanishing as if by magic while new goods are shrunk once fol all.
