Young America and the Liberty Loan

Young America and the Liberty Loan
President Wilson has mustered in
to the army OF workers for the Third
Liberty Loan the Boy Scouts of
America and the Girl Scouts.
The work of the Boy Scouts in the
two previous Liberty Loan campaigns
was an inspiring feature. In the sec
ond campaign they obtained 533, 900
subscriptions for over 100000, 700
worth of bonds
The work of the Boy Scouts and
the Girl Scouts in this great national
effort will be not only of great prac-
teal service to the country. but OF
great educational value to the boys
and girls in preparing them for pat
r1oic useful citizenship. The patriot
ism of the young people of America
is guarantee of the future; 1t means
good citizens and good Americans in
the making. They are the citizens
OF tomorrow and they are doing
much to make the world safe for de-
mocracy when that morrow comes.
The Boy Scouts have not only
shown their patriotism, they have
demonstrated their efficiency and
their value to the country. With the
Girl Scouts also enlisted in the work
they must look to their laurels.

Treasury Reduces ship INSURANCE

II is evidence of the strongest kihu
of the effectiveness of the American
Navy that Secretary McAdoo is again
able to reduce the war-risk insurance
rates.
The nresent reduction on hulls and
cargoes through the war zone Is from
Or cent to per cent; the reduction
on the officers, masters, and crews OF
merchant vessels through the war
zone is from so cents to 20 cents
per hundred dollars of pay roll. Both
reductions take effect March lS'
1918.
The first reduction of insurance
rates by the War Risk Insurance Bu-
reau was made last October, when
the rate on cargoes was reduced from
" per cent to 5 per cent. The sec
ond reduction was on November %
and was from per cent to pei
