Wants to Spend $24 900 for Pigs

Last year, on account of its inability
to obtain pigs quickly In sufficient mum.
Der and quality, In the Maine market,
the State Agricultural & Industrial
League was forced to buy 2,464 pigs in
Massac husetts.
These pigs were furnished by the
League to Maine children through the
cooperation of the banks, which accept
ed notes as payment, the notes falling
due when the pigs reached the market
ing stage.
This year the League, which Is an all
Maine organization, with headquarters
In Portland, intends to make strong
effort to secure In Maine itself the pigs
necessary to supply both Maine children
and adults, under the same arrangement
as last year with public.spirited local
banks.
1t is, therefore, now in the market for
Maine pigs to continue this work, and
will pay cash for good healthy Maine
stock. Farmers or breeders having pigs
of this character for sale should write
the State Agricultural & Industrial
League, Fidelity Building, Portland, i'm.
mediately, giving name and address,
stating how many, how old, what breed,
and lowest price for which pigs will be
sold.
$6O,6sO worth of pork was raised In
Maine last year, mostly by children
under the Leagues plan. Not one dol
lars worth of this extra meat supply
would have been raised here without
the CO. operation of the banks, and the
initiative of the League.
The League is doing practical and
helpful Statewide work which deserves
the hearty support of all Maine people
who believe 10 its slogan, "Feed Maine
Folks With Maine. grown Food"

DROVE THE HUN
Director Franklin Tells How
American Munitions on the
Way Brought War to End.

The war supplies that have been de-
liyered and must be paid for but never
used were what actually brought the
war to the sudden end so much ear
lier than had been expected. accord
ing to Lewis B. Franklin. director OF
the war loan organization for the
United States.
"Those are the things for which
we are going to pay with the Fifth
and last-Liberty Loan" Mr.. Frank
lin explained at a meeting OF Liberty
Loan chairmen.
"That is what l mean when l say
that this money you are going to raise
through the things already bought
with the credit of it's paying for the
saving OF q half q million American
lives.
1.-THE speed and bravery of the
American 'dough-b boy affected the
German on the front line more than 1t
did the men at German general head
ouarters; but the fact that America
had ten tons Of mustard gas ready for
shipment in 1919, to every ton that
Germany had; the fact that we were
going to have a tank on the front line
for every rs fee Of the line in 1919;
the fact that we would have thou
sands of batteries of guns where we
did not have single one IN 1915
those facts had an influence on the
German General Staff.
And, far from that money, those
millions and billions of dollars wasted
In an unnecessary preparation, feel
that the fact that the money was spent
and that that enormous output OF
munitions vas ready, was the con-
trolling factor in the weakening Of the
German General Staff, and that it
caused their message to the Kaiser
that they were beaten, and that he
must sue for peace. And the way see
1t is that this money, instead of being
wasted, can be written down as hav-
ing saved the lives Of hundreds OF
thousands of American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year.
81 do not believe that we are goins
to be troubled with this loan. look
for at least 100000 subscribers to
the NEXT loan"

ADVERTISING WILL
PUT OVER THE w
The Newspapers The Greatest
Asset in Distributing the Lib
eYty Loan. a

The newspapers win be counted
upon to put over the victorious
Fifth" Liberty Loan just as they did
its four predecessors.
Prominent newspaper advertisers
in many parts Of the country have
recently, in response to inquiries from
ofaetals of the United States treas
uy, declared almost unanimously
that they would prefer to again buy
newspaper space and give 1t to the
government rather than to resort to
any new scheme for putting across
this last chapter Of the war finance
program.
The talk Of dumping It on the banks
Is mistaken and unwtse In the ex-
IRENE.
II would be q mighty bad thing for
business in general II the banks were
compelled to absorb this eth issue of
the Liberty Loan.
II would mean that II the funds Of
the banks were tied up in government
securities the banks would have no
money to loan to business houses for
the expansion Of their activities.
The Victorious Fifth" will bs
taken by the people and newspaper
space mus: be used to aid in this pur-
pose.
The Victorious Fifth" loan must be
sold both on motives Of patriotism and
~ q wise and profitable investment
that will involve an tntensive cam
patgn Of education.
When leading newspaper ADVERT
ssrs and the directors Of advertising
in the federal reserve districts re-
Gently held a council ON the loan Of
1919, men who paid for space in 9TH
or loan drives were almost unit In
declaring that they stood ready to re-
peat their orders.
Three lines Of appeals will be dom
inant in the Fifth Liberty Loan.
The first Of these Is Finishing the
job. The argument VIII be made that
,Uncle Sam must be kept in funds un-
til the Job over there IL definitely
done, and until provision is made for
the proper care Of all the sick and
wounded
The second topic Will be Peace
and Prosperity" This takes account
OF not only the obligations but the OPP
portunit1es Of the nation tn our new
position Of world leadership.
Finally, the theme Of Investment"
