"tJunior,' we never call him any
other name, has written many letters

his promotion" said Mrs. Wade last
night.
1T was the same way when he was
in the Boy Scouts. Scoutmaster

Tuesday at his desk at Liberty Loan
headquarters in the Railway Exchange
Building.
There is nothing to IT," declared
Mr.. Crabtree, "but Just going out and
picking up the money. Many thou
sands of dollars are already IN the
banks applied already to the purchase
of the Fourth bonds, and our people
are making all of their plans for quick
subscriptions.
There isEone woman IN Jackson.

for $4,000 Of the bonds. She WIS ad-
vised to go on the market and buy
previous issues OF Liberty Boz IS at a
discount, and WIS shown whereby she
could save $1,000 by the transaction.
But this patriotic woman said she
wanted to do her bit and she said she
would prefer taking Fourth bonds at
par. Therefore she bought Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness. and has
instructed her banker to exchange
these for Fourth Liberty Bonds on
Sept. 2S, Volunteer Day."
Reports recalling me from other
cities in our part OF the district as
sure me that all are making ready for
the drive, and that our quota will be
quickly absorbed. And We are ex.
pecting the quota to be larger this
time than in the previous loans.
People realize that the sooner the
war is over the more lives will be
saved, and they are ready to invest
heir dollars that lives may not be

TO PREVENT DEPRECIATION
inexperienced Investors In Liberty

The Department of Justice and the
Treasury Department are making
good headway in their campaign
against the disloyalists whose activi-
ties take the form Of depreciating the
value of Liberty Bonds, as well as
against those more easily recognized
criminals who have been inducing the
inexperienced to exchange their Lib
erty Bonds for worthless securities.
THIS was made clear by Lewis B.
Franklin, Director OF the War Loan Or
ganization Of the United States, in a
speech made In Cleveland before a
meeting of the county chairmen of the
Liberty Loan Committee.
I'VE are getting these men," he
said. "and we are preventing the work
of those still at large to a great ex
tent by cutting off their opportunities
for advertising. We have notified all
newspapers not to ruin any ads offer
ing to trade merchandise or securities
for Liberty Bonds.
ut is important for everyone of yov
chairmen to preach Keep your bonds
as earnestly as you do Buy bonds.

United States Government both when
bonds are traded in this way or when
they are sold at a discount"

READY FOR THE FOURTH LOAN

Missouri ts ready for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, so far as money in the
banks goes. State Bank Commission
er Enright announces that the total
deposits In state banks and trust com
panies amounted to $4S4, $50, ,936.O9 on
june 2S, the highest mark in history
When the total deposits Of the na.
tional banks are added, the grand to-
tai for the state approximates $780,
100000. The showing as to the state
institutions is especially significant,
IN view of the fact that compora-
| lively few of them belong to the Fed
eral Reserve system, although the
largest are members. The nonmem-
bers have been at disadvantage as
70 government deposits. Missouri has
responded literally 10 the three Lib
erty loans. the subscription to the
third being especially well distributed.
II IS estimated that the state has paid
5ver S350O00,000 for government OBJ
legations within the year, yet the to-
tai deposits OF state financial institu-
tions are over s50,0CO,OOO greater than
a year ago, practically all the gain
being in individual deposits.
This indicates that Missourians
lihave been sharing in war prosperity
even though no cantonment was To-
Gated IN the state and comparatively
few munition plants are running.
Much of the prosperity is due to the
stimulation of agriculture and there
Is every reason to expect it's continue
ton, along with a growth in other
lines.
Missouri had an excellent organiza-
ton in the last loan drive and II is
presumed that 1t will be available for
the coming loan campaign. The pub
lie has been educated to the meaning
OF bond buying and everybody recog-
nizes the full significance of the war.
The quota will be much larger than
that of the third loan, but with proper
organization and diligent activity.
Missourians will be able to reach it.
