The Victory Liberty Loan is the biggest most definite
step toward reconsrruction taken by the United States. without
it.. all the plans for putting industry and labor on a basis Of
permanent prosperity would be unavai1ing.
This is labor's Loan. 1t Will do much more than pay war

American poclats. 1t will do it's part in pr noting unexamp1ed
prosperity neither temporary nor inflated. but built on the
bedrock foundation Of Legitimate, necessary expansion.

WORKERS AND FARMER
RALLY To LOAN
Pledge Aid to Last
Campaign

Organized labor, farmers and others,
In the Third Federal Reserve District
have rallied to the support of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan in answer to the
call issued by William B. Wilson, Sec
rotary of Labor.
Labor unions, as a whole, and the
working men as individuals, fully real
ize the situation in which the govern
ment is placed by the war, and are
willing to do all in their power to
provide the necessary remedy-hnance.
Labor is going to give its utmost
endeavor toward the success of the
Victory Liberty Loan campaign" said
Frank Feeney, national president of
the Elevator Constructors Union.
'"Any statements alleged TO have been
made by labor leaders in any part
lof the country purporting to say that
labor is not in sympathy with the
final war loan are untrue.
Labor is behind the loan to the
limit. Such alleged statements are
merely Bolshevik propaganda and by
no mea express the sentiments Of
any one connected with an accredited
labor organization"
In speaking to the farmers of the
nation, Oliver Wilson, Master Nation
al Grange, said:
"For the fifth time the government
is appealing to the people for financial
aid. On the four previous occasions
money was needed to win the war and
people of all classes literally respond
ed. Now the call comes for a Victory
Liberty Loan, a loan which, now that
the fight is won, is necessary to aid
in finishing the great task of assur-
ing to all peoples liberty and demo-
cracy, that our struggles and sacri-
ices of the past few years may not
have been in vain.
81 desire to appeal to our entire
Grange membership and farmers gen
orally to maintain the proud record
we have made in the previous loans.
Not only subscribe what you can, but
give the matter prominence at your
Grange meetings and encourage neigh
bors and friends to do their part to-
ward fulfilling this our great national
responsibility"
Labor Backs Loan.
Just as in the preceding loan cam
paigns, labor organizations in this dis
trict have formed a campaign commit
tee of which William Tracy. former
Magistrate, is secretary. Joseph
Richie, of the American Federation of
Labor, who is chairman, said:
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-05-09

'This committee is active in urg-
the individuals connected with them
to do their utmost in paying their
share, and more than their share, Of
the bills of the war. Every meeting
of labor men held in this district gives
a portion of its time to discussing pay
ment of the governments just debts
through the medium of the Victory
Liberty Loan.

ing man to Go his best for the CAM
paign will be sent by the committee
to every organization
"There are not enough words in the
English language to express my APP
proval of the Victory Liberty Loan
campaign and the liberal terms on the
securities, as announced by Secretary
Of the Treasury Carter Glass. This,
too. is the attitude of every working
man. We are going the limit and
then some" 4
Mr.. Tracy expressed a similar opin-
ion and pointed out that labor is sup
porting the loan through patriotic
motives and because it is good bust
ness.
"A great portion of the moneys de-
rived from the loan," Mr.. Tracy said.
evil be used for work Of ~reconstrI
ton, which means that it will revert
to the working man. Expenditures
for reconstruction work will provide
employment for thousands and any
person who failed to support the loan
would be merely hurting himself"
Mr.. Richie declared that there is no
doubt that union labor will support
the new loan.
"The men realize that the war cost
a great deal of money, and that there
are many bills still to be paid by the
nation. We ali know that if the money
is not secured through the Victory
Liberty Loan the government will be
forced to tax the people more heavily.
To offset the heavy taxes that we
know would result if the new loan
should fail, we will invest in the govs
eminent securities"
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-05-09
PAY FOR VICTORY,
PASSMORE URGES

E. Pussy Passmore, governor
of the Third Federal Reserve
Bank, made the following appeal
to the people of the district:
"This Fifth Liberty Loan is
officially designated the Victory
Liberty Loan and is in a financial
sense a triumphant celebration of
the consummation of our hopes
and prayers for the winning of
the war and the preservation Of
our liberties. The ideals for
which this nation fought have
been indicated on the field of
battle and the money price of
that victory, the greatest and
most momentous victory of all
history, must be paid promptly,
cheerfully and in full share.
"The portion of this great loan
allotted to this district is $375,-
100000, and yet no n complains
that it is too large, for what we
have done before, we can do
again but it is a herculean task
and will take the best effort of
the entire community.
"Out of our abundance the loan
must and will be subscribed here,
as it will be throughout the coun-
try, but the maximum of endea-
vur must be maintained to achieve
the success at which we aim.
'It is said Love of Country
Leads Then the supreme duty
of the hour is clear and from now
on to the close of the campaign
on May 10 let 1t not be said of
one Of us that we were not equal
to.it. We have proudly met the call
to duty in the past and we believe
our grateful citizens, putting pa
triotism and citizenship above all
else, will again write their record
big and clear in the name of those
who fought for us and in thanks
giving for the Victory they helped
to win"

u. S. LED MOVE
FOR TEMPERANCE
Many Societies to Fight Alcohol
Organized Early in Nations

WOMEN ACTIVE AS LEADERS
John B. Cough, Reformed Drunkard,
First Crusader to Win Fame
by Success at Home and
Abroad.

When the movement which has now
brought about prohibition began in the
United States it was called the ITEM
perance movement" and the phrase
temperance question" embraced all
the problems in connection with the
use and abuse of alcoholic drink. Tenn
perance, Of course, primarily means
moderation, while prohibition, as used
In this connection, means a form Of
sumptuary legislation abolishing the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic IL
quors. In the early days Temperance"
wa loosely used; sometimes it meant
moderation and sometimes total abstI-
hence. Many of the first crusades were
against "spirits"-distilled liquors as
distinguished from wines and beer.
Early temperance pledges were often
framed to draw this distinction. How
ever, the word temperance as used in
the titles and constitutions of reform
organizations soon came to mean total
abstinence.
This temperance movement, which
shows signs of bringing about prohlbi-
ton in many parts of the world, be-
gan in the United States. EAe tenn
perance pledge was in existence before
1900. Possibly the first temperance
society was organized by the farmers
of Litchfield county, Connecticut, in
1879. In 1903 a society was formed in
Saratoga county, New York the 43
members were pledged not to drink
rum, gin, whisky, wine or distilled

This is an opportunity that the resi-
aents of the rural communities in the
Third Federal Reserve District have
during the Victory Liberty Loan CAM
paign-an opportunity that does not
come to the men and women who live
IN big cities.
For throughout the entire cam
baign, those communities within range
bf airplane and dirigible flights from
the headquarters at Philadelphia, will
be bombed, not only with loan liter
hture, but with hundreds of "lucky
cards." which will entitle the holder
to a souvenir. And the souvenir is to
be a relic brought from the battle
Helds of France.
The entire district, which comprises
the larger part of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and all of Delaware, is ablaze
with color and bustling with extraor-
binary activities in aid of the Victory
Liberty Loan campaign.
All the counties, as well as the big
cities, have gone in for the spectacu-
Tar in their drives and there is some
ching doing to attract the eye and ear
every minute of the day from end to
end of the district. The range of cam
paign features runs all the way from
BILLY Sunday meetings to athletic con-
tests, airplane and dirigible flights and
the most thrilling of moving picture
displays.
Counties Big Openings.
AS an Illustration of the effort in
the counties, mention may be made of
Lackawanna County's opening feature.
1t was a Billy Sunday event and BILLY"
had an audience of 5000 hitting the

days when they hit the "saw-dust'
trail. The meeting was n of Scran-

IN RURAL VICTORY LOAN FLIGHTS.
smaIeF Communities Vie with Cities for Share Of the
Features.

"Bi1ly'' was the feature, there was
enough of show on the side to have
kept any audience stirred up.
In Delaware County there was a
runaway start with motor truck
glee clubs for the opening attraction.
Professional singers volunteered their
services and Chester and other dis
tricts rang with patriotic melody. A
flag raising featured the campaign, and
Chester will have an athletic carnival
in the city streets. A company of Ma
rines in command of a Chester boy
will be a special attraction in a(parade
now being arranged.
Berks County utilized an open-a1r
showing of the great loan film The
Price of Peace as the attraction for
it's biggest loan rally. The film was
exhibited in Readings famous square,
at the Mansion House, and a chorus
of $50 kept the large crowds stirred
up between reels. Parades will be
held later in the campaign.
Speakers Active.
They are relying principally on cir
culars and speakers to put the loan
across in Mexican County. The speak
ing campaign is an active one there,
and has been carried into every place
of public assembly, with the result
that apathy hos been dispelled and
the county chairman reports condi-
lions now entirely favorable to sue
cess. The county will have many raj
lies during the visit oe the War Train.
A parade of Schuylkill County's sol
diers and sailors, including returned
heroes, will be held in Shamokin. Cap
tain G. X. Morganroth, recently return
ed from France, will be the marshal.
Following the parade a mass meeting
will be held in the Opera House at
which the musical program will be
particularly inspiring. Shamokin has
done special decorative work for the
loan with window displays.
The War Train, now touring the dis
trict, is attracting big crowds daily
which enthusiastically assemble to in.

PAINT AND I%LLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo.

Paint Also.

Washington, d. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu.
cational Bureau and the Bureau of In
dustrial Research here. 1t is that in
the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The
paint referred to is the common OF
barn variety, of course, for the back
woods countries have no need for the
finer pigments Oh facial adornments
1t Is true, though, that in the sections
Of all states where white illiteracy Is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illiterates do not use paint on theil
buildings because they do not under
stand its value as a p~reservative.

in illness or at public dinners, under
penalty of 25 cents.
The Massachusetts Society for the
Suppression of Intemperance was or
ganized in 1913. The American TEN
perance society was founded in 1929.
Thereafter organizations of various
kinds came thick and fast, many of
them securing large memberships.
Among them were the Sons of Temper
ance of New York (1S42), Order of
Rechabites (1S35), Society of the
Washingtonians (1S40) and Good Tenn
plars (1S51).
In 1873 began the Woman's lem
perance crusade in Ohio. Women held
prayer meetings in saloons in this
campaign against alcohol. This move
ment grew so strong that in 1874 in
Cleveland the National Woman's
Christian Temperance union was form
ed. The same year Francis Murphy's
Blue Ribbon Temperance mission at
tracted public attention.
John 3. Cough.
Prohibition or temperance - has
made many men and women famous
probably some of these foes of liquor
and the saloon will be remembered for
all time. Among the anne familiar
to most Americans in this connection
are those of John B. Cough, Neal Dow,
Frances E. Willard and Carrie Nation.
All four made their mark in widely
differing ways and the personality of
each is interesting.
John B. Cough attracted public atten-
ton first. He achieved worldwide
fame and furnishes a remarkable ex-
ample of what i'll these days is called
a Comeback" He was born in Sand
gate, England. iR 1917, and died in
Frankford, Pa, in 1886.
A Quaker in Worcester, Mass, in
duced him to sign a total abstinence
pledge. This was the turning point in
his career. He set out to tramp New
England, lecturing on temperance at
rs cents a lecture. He delivered 1856
lectures the first year-and found him.

pathetic and humorous so successfully
and made his lectures so entertaining
that thousands who had no interest in
temperance went to hear him. For the
next II years he spoke only on temper
ance and addressed more than 5000
audiences, making two long temper
ance campaigns in England. He had
the power over an audience that
comes from experience, purpose and
natural eloquence. Robert ]. Ingersoll
at his best could sway an audience no
more completely than this reformed
bookbinder. Next Cough turned his
attention to general ~lecturing and
made a fortune. His books have been
translated into many languages.
