Fourth Liberty Loan Drive Started
Last Saturday With Great
Enthusiasm.

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
urday morning all over the county
under the direction of County Chair
man f. NJ. Wilson, who so successfully
put over the 3rd Liberty Loan for the
county last spring. Hundreds of work
ers in all sections of the county under
the direction of the local captains are
pushing the sales and the big quota
for the county will be assured by Sat
urday night, we feel safe in saying.
The workers in Lamar under the
local captain. Cora II. Strain. sold
nearly one-fourth of the local terri
tory's big quota of $2ls,60O on the
first day and have now passed the
half way mark. They are still hustl-
ing and will wind up the drive with a
series Of big street meetings on Sat
urday when it is expected that every
one will join in the work, and the sue
cess of the big loan assured so far as
Lamar is concerned. Holly, which also
had a big quota of $4,000 is now con-
siderably over the half way mark also
and will make her full quota by Satur-
day.
Hartman, as usual, made the 100 per
cent mark ahead of all, filling her
quota at mass meeting of the cisi-
zens on Sunday which was attended
by Chairman Wilson and Secretary
Cochran of the county organization.
Judge Hillyer and Evangelist Charley
Wooden. The latter turned it into a
regular sawdust path, CONT -and-join-
us reveval meeting and in lust seven
teen minutes the patriot, citizens Of
that enterprising community had
marched down the isle and signed up
for enough bonds to put their city in
the "over the top" class. Granada
went over also on Monday and that
night big meeting at Manvel farm
subscribed over six thousand dollars
more.
On Wednesday a meeting held at
Center farm just afternoon placed that
thriving community in the 100 per
cent American class as every employee
on the farm took bond of some de.
nomination.
The numerous workers both men
and women are doing their work with
genuine enthusiasm and are meeting
with an almost universal response
from the citizens of the county. La
mars quota which is many thousands
larger than even the big sum raised
here last spring seemed almost i'm
possible when first announced but the
progress so far made seems to show
that our people are willing to make
whatever sacrifice is required of them
and that they will find a way to meet
any emergency. The same spirit that
carries the boys cover the top" in
France will carry the business men and
citizens generally cover the top" in the
Liberty Loan Drive at home.

There's a Motherland for Every
Yankee" has a Liberty Loan verse
that is worth repeating:
"If you can't be a soldier of your
Uncle Sam
Let your cash do your fighting
for you.
The boys in front who bear the brunt
Deserve all that you can do.
So buy bond; shoot across the pond
And hit the Hun 4 fatal blow.
Dig down again; be a loyal man.
The world hates a Stacker, you
know"

eous and considerate of the public As
It made a longer stop in Lamar than
at any point between Denver and far
into Kansas, there was more chance
to see these exhibits here than at
other points and the people came from
hundreds of miles away to get to see
them.
All through the evening the Lamar
band assisted by recruits from Wiley
and Springfield furnished excellent
music, and the Lamar Rifle club stood
guard over the train in relays and
enabled the regular force to get a rest
Several good speakers addressed the
large crowds of citizens gathered in
the interest of the big Liberty Loan
Drive, and all the officers were very
willing to explain all details asked for
by the public, and all were especially
agreed that the war is not even in its
last stage yet and it is just as neces-
sary as ever to back up the govern
ment by literally loaning it money.

America does not intend to become
SPOIL for the German Kaiserl
The dream of the Kaiser and his
gang Of military despots is to master
the world.
That dream was on the point of real
ization when Americas challenge
thrilled the world and Americas
heroes on the battle fields of France
began to obscure it with their blood
and valor.
Already the crack legions of the
kaiser have been beaten by the brief
trained freemen Of the worlds might
les democracy.
The Stars and Stripes are on their
way to Berlin. Nothing can stop our
progress but our failure to do our part
at home as well as in Europe.
No one thing will win this war.
Neither food, nor fuel, nor ships, nor
airplanes, nor transportation, nor am
munition, nor arms, nor money, nor
men ALONE-but ALL in FULL
measure, supplied ALL THE TIME
and ON TINE, are necessary to Vic
tory.
Every pound Of food and fuel bought
every ship and airplane built, every
ton Of ammunition furnished, every
shot fired. every shred of clothing
made, every dollar paid to our soldiers
and sailors and their dependent fam
lilies, and every other demand mads
upon the government to carry on tho
war comes back to and must be paid
by the United States treasury.
Suppose the treasury should fail to
meet these demands, what would hap-
pen? Failure and disaster on the bat
tie field and ruin at home. Not alone
our army. our navy, and all war oper-
ations, but business prosperity and
financial security at home depend on
the ability Of the United States treas
ury to meet every demand On time at
100 cents on the dollar.
This is why the treasury is absol-
utely fundamental to the war-that is
why the treasury stands under and
supports every department and agency
Of the govcrnment-tha is why the
treasury is carrying the most colossal
burden in the worlds history.
Money must, therefore, be provid-
ed in sufficient amount by the people
ALL THE PEOPLE-if the war is
20 be won.
There are two ways Of getting it
by taxation and by Liberty Bonds.
Three Liberty Bond issues have been
ovcrsubscribed by Americas patriot.
to protect Americas heroes.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is now Of
fered. 1t must be subscribed-it must
not fail. Every patriot must buy Lib
arty Bonds with every dollar he can
raise and save. Then he must keep
hem.
A glorious victory will be won if the
-reasury is kept strong.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is the
large that will precede the victorious
hrust of our army.
Keep the Stars and Stripes march
ag with our heroes to Berlin.
Prevent the kaiser from making
poll of America by making America
poll the kaiser.
Buy Liberty Bonds and help make
liberty supreme throughout the world.

There is just one way to put over
this $3.50 200 quota which Prowers
county has promised to raise in the
4th Liberty Loan. That is, for every
body to do their whole bit.

bonds to the full limit of your ability,

million dollars every day this week.
May we depend upon your doing your

The above telegram reached Liberty

affirmative answer to the question.

"Blue Devil' Knight who spoke at
three big Liberty Loan meetings in
the county last week, used number
of very apt illustrations. For instance
his story about the "Buddys shoulder"
"There is no question about buddy's
shoulder being THERE-right next to
yours-on the raiding parties over
there, but how about the other should
er over here? There is something
mighty fine about the feeling that we
are 'buddies' to the boys in the trench
es-that by our dollars we are should

abling them to win those glorious vic
tories over there"

PRIESTS WILL UNITE
CATHOLIC CLERGY OF ITALY TO
FORM FEDERATION.

AS the outcome of a recent cOnVen-
tion at Pisa, which was attended by
delegations of the clergy from all
parts of Italy, it has been decided to
form a federation of associations of
the Catholic clergy of Italy, for the
greater union for good of all the men,
bers of the priesthood, in intimate
union with their bishops and in full
obedience to the Holy Father.
The statutes and rules of the new
body, which have the approval of the
Consistorial Congregation; have been
submitted to the Holy Father who has
blessed the federation and approved
it's rules. These will shortly be pub
lished. At time like the present,
when the clergy are subjected con-
tinually to attacks from anti-clericals
who impugn their patriotism, such a
federation can serve their interests in
secular things as well as in the re-
igious.

THE CHILEAN MINISTER
DIPLOMAT CoNSECRATES FAMILY
TO SACRED HEART.

What the great Leo XIII spoke of so
enthusiastically is under Benedict XIV
fast becoming a devotion in Christian
households throughout the world. In
Rome the first notable family to con-
secrate it's household to the Sacred
Heart is that of the minister to Chile
accredited to the Vatican, His Excel
lency Don ErrazuriZ Urmenete, the
ceremony in connection with which
is well worth describing. By invita-
tion to his magnificent mansion for
the occasion were the following: Car
dinal Vannutelli, Dean of the Sacred
College; Cardinal Vico, Cardinal Cas-
.quet, Cardinal Billot, Cardinal Van
Rossum, Archbishop Cerretti, Titular
of Corinth; the diplomatic corps &C
credited to the Vatican, and the great
personages in Church and state. In
the chief salon of his mansion hung
a large picture of the Sacred Heart
surrounded with wealth of flowers in
front of which the Chilean minister
stood with his family to read the act
of conservation to the Heart of Jesus

A TEXAS SOCIETY
CATHOLIC WOMEN IN DALLAS,
TEX, HAVE STRONG WAR WORK
oRGANIZATIoN-MANY AcTIVI-
TIES.

The Catholic Ladies' Aid Society of
Dallas, Tex, is an organization of
more than 400 women, which through
various committees operates in many
branches of relief and patriotic work,
according to the Rev. John G.. Smyth,
of the National Catholic War Council.
1T is one of the first organizations to
go into Red Cross work, for, in May,
1917, its Red Cross auxiliary was
formed said Father Smyth.
This society has worked in the Lib
erty Loan drives, in the Red Cross
drives and for the food conservation
campaign. 1t has raised $1,700 for
the rebuilding of French churches
ruined by the German invasion. Cloth
ing, groceries and fuel have been pro-
vided for families in need, especially
those suffering as consequence of
the war. The society has established
a Catholic Club for business girls,
which endeavors to supply the pleas
ures and protection of home to girls
whose business careers have taken
them away from home influences.
THE Catholic Ladies' Aid Society of
Dallas is in every sense an efficient
war organization, taking it's work very
seriously" Father Smyth said. 1T is
accomplishing much toward tightening
the tremendous task which lies upon
the nation as a result of the war;

HONOR FORMER SLAVE
DENVER CATHOLICS PAY UNUSU-
AL TRIBUTE TO AGED
NEGRESS.

The highest honor that has ever
been paid to a Colorado Catholic lay
man Immediately following death has
been given within the last week to
a negress, Julia Greeley, an aged wom-
an and a former slave, who died in
poverty in the Sacred Heart parish,
but who is declared by the Jesuit
Fathers of that church to have been
the most Jealous apostle of the Sacred
Heart they have ever known.
And she died on the feast day of the
Sacred Heart Her end came unex-
pectedly. But she received the full
rites of the Church. The time of her
death, considering the work she did
in life, makes it look as if the very
finger of God was present.
She has the distinction of being the
only simple Catholic layman in the
history of Denver whose dead body
lay in state in a Catholic church. From
three until eight o'clock on Sunday,
her remains reposed in Loyola chapel,
where they were viewed by constant
stream of people. There had been no
great write-ups of this in the daily
papers. How all the people learned
of her death and of the fact that she
was to lie in state is astonishing. The
fact that the news spread so quickly,
without the assistance of the printed
word, is proof of the great love which
the Denver public had for this quaint
and sanity old character.

charity and justice among men.
But before all must be appeased
the just wrath of God caused by the
spread of perversity in sin. Humble
and suppliant prayer, offered with per-
severance and trust, will contribute
much to this end; but more efficacious
still in obtaining the Divine mercy is
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in
which we offer to our Heavenly Faith.
er Him Who gave Himself in redemp-
tion for ALL and lives still to inter

And the Church is right in Ordain-
ing that pastors of souls shall cele-
brate the fixed days for the needs of
the Christian people; on which day
this loving mother wishes to invoke
the mercies of God on the needs of her
children. And what need can be to-

tune to us to invite for that end all
pastors to celebrate together with us
on solemn occasion; and, therefore,
by this 'mOtu proprio' we ordain that
on June 20, Feast of the Holy Apostles
Peter and Paul, help and patrons of
ChristendOm, all priests who are under
obligation of celebrating pro populo'
shall offer the Holy Sacrifice for this
our intention. And Furthermore let all
other priests of both branches of the
clergy know that they will be doing
an act most pleasing to us if they also,
celebrating on that day, will unite
their intentions to ours. Thus will the
whole Catholic priesthood, in union
with the Vicar of Christ, offer on every
altar in the world the Host of propi-
tiation and of love and by doing Vio-
lence together to the Heart of God
will strengthen the hope that at length

the Holy Sacrifice for that intention
Already the fourth year is draw
ing to it's close since the moment
when, soon after the European con.
tlagration had broken out, we took up
the burden of the Supreme Pontifi-
cate; and in all this space of time
since the fury of war, instead of de-
creasing, gained continually in
strength, the anguish of our heart has
had no rest before the terrible evils
which have been accumulating Fol
lowing this tragic sequence of events,
not only have we shared in the suf-
ferirgs of all, even to being able to
say with st. Paul. "Quis infirmatur ct
ego non intirmor? Quis scandalizatur
ct ego non Tror?" but further, as far
as FaS been possible to us, we have
omitted nothing which consciousness
of the Apostolic duty of the charity
of Christ suggested to us. And now
the condition in which we find our
selves is such that it recalls that of
King Josaphat when in his anguish
he exclaimed. Lord God of our faith
ers, thou art God in Heaven and rulest
over all the kingdoms and nations; in
Thy hand is strength and power and
no one can resist Thee. -. We
will cry to Thee in our afflictfons and
Thou wilt hear and save us.

what to do, we can only turn our eyes
to Thee
Therefore, laying all our anxiety
in the hands of God, Who rules the
hearts of men and the course of events,

HOLY FATHER URGES THAT THE

Pope Benedict made remonstrance
Immediately after being informed that
the Austrian authorities had forbid
den the requisition of all bells in
churches throughout the territory oc-
cupied last year, sand urged that the
order be revoked, according to the
Corriere d'Italia, the semi-oficial or
gan of the Vatican. The paper adds:
satisfactory results obtained under
similar circumstances in Belgium, as
certified by letter from Cardinal
Mercier, gave reason to hope that the
same menace to the invaded regions
of Italy may also be averted."
