A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR

The people of the United States
are again called upon to assist in
the prosecution of the war by sub
scribing to Liberty Bonds. This
is the fourth time we have been
called upon for bond subscrip-
tions. The news from the battle
fronts during the past few weeks
surely indicates that the turn in
the tide has begun, and there is no
doubt but that from now on there
can be a constant pushing back of
the enemy lines if we at home fur
nish the supplies of all kinds so
needed by the men who are repre-
senting us on the battle fronts. If
success is to continue we must put
forth greater effort than ever be-
fore. This is no time to think
that the end OF the war is at hand.
Only by continuing 10 exert our
full strength as "A nation can we
nope TO succeed. a compromise,
or the ending of the war without
absolute victory, would mean but
a temporary cessation of hostili-
ties. SO that the principles in
volved in this great struggle may
be definitely settled for all time,
we must continue to fight until all
the nations are ready for a settle
ment on sound and substantial
basis that will forever end such
conditions as have existed during
the past four years.
The issue of bonds to be sub
scribed at this time amounts to
$6, 5000, ,000,000.00 The State of
Washington is called upon to sub
scribe approximately $60,000000.

WEIGHT RESTS ON
AMERICAN FARMER

Upon no one class rests greater
responsibility than upon the Ameri
can farmer, who with his wives and
sons and daughters constitutes one
third OF our population. He has the
first and great responsibility OF pro
ylding food for the nation at home,
food for the fighting men abroad. and
food for our allies in the battle line
and their civilian population.
England, with millions of acres OF
parks and hunting grounds converted
inio farms can only raise crops to
feed her people half the year. France,
with every man In uniform, and
nearly half her fields oyerrun by
armies, does even less.
With her grain fields extended by
millions of acres OF new land. Amnri-
ca is responding TO the call and allied
hunger viii never be an ally to Ger
many. Billions OF dollars of Ameri.
cas- huge war loans are coming back
to the farmer in payment for his
grain and stock.
The farmer, for his future honor
and standing in the nation, must see
that every penny OF this sum he can
spare is reinvested in war leans.
The Fourth Liberty Loan. now upon
US, calls for but portion of what
America must spend in war efforts in
the next few months. 1t must he sub
scribed promptly and Overwhelmingly.
That "the man who Is not for us is
against US" is as true now as when
It was written centuries ago.

This amount can be subscribed by
the people of the State il all will
do their part.
So that special effort will be
put forth during the present week,
and especially on Saturday next.
Now, therefore, /, Ernest Lister,
Governor of the State of Wash
ington, do hereby proclaim and
designate Saturday, October 5th,
1918, as
BON d DAY.
And | most earnestly urge that
on that day every person who has
not already subscribed to one or
more of the Fourth Issue of Lib
erty Bonds, and is able to do so,
subscribe 10 the fullest of his orher
ability, to the end that the State
of Washington may complete its
quota on Saturday, October 5th,
and thus enable us to devote all
of our effort from that time on to
other lines of war activity. No per
son ought hold back a subscrip-
ton waiting for someone to solicit
it; the responsibility for winning
the war rests upon each and every
individual. If al!will do their part
il will assist materially in bring
ing about that result for which we
all hope and pray - an early and
complete victory.
In witness whereof hav5

the Seal of the State to be affixed
