1t is the intention of American
leaders of finance and industry to see
to it that the American stage, which
has become famous throughout the
world by the spirit Of seif-sacrific and
service which it displayed for the
consummation of American ideals dur
ing the war, is now rendered the ap-
probation Of the entire country by
having it's Actors Fund put beyond
further financial difficulties. Instead,
however, of asking the public for do
nations, the actors themselves. will
give an extra performance, with every
company playing in all the principal
cities of the United States, on the
afternoon of December 5th. The
funds from seat sales will be turned
over to the Actors Fund Committee,
and already small humber of seats
has been sold for amounts varying
from $4,000 to 500. seat. The gen
eral public, however, will be able to
purchase seats for these performances
at the usual rates.

FARM PROFITS
WILL AID LOAN
Rural Business Men Are Well
Able to Take Up Their
Share in the Victorious"
Fifth,

More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the position
Of comfort and prosperity which is
his just due. Lean years are for him
no longer. Last year the average Of
farm earnings broke all records Six
million farms in 1918 produced crops
worth $122SO, 100000.
This year it is estimated that =
greater wheat acreage than ever will
be sown Naturally the farmer Is
making the most Of his opportunities,
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything he
grows, the outlook for him is most
encouraging. And Europe will fur
nish a market for his fat hogs and
steers.
1t would be interesting, If possible,
to assemble comparative statements
Of the farmers bank accounts now
and five years ago, and the list OF
mortgages that have been cancelled.
And it would be more interesting per-
haps to have q statement of the Lin
erty Bonds now in the hands OF these
tillers OF the soil.
Very soon the farmer will have fur
ther opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as well developed
as any mans. For another loan Is
almost in sight, loan that will draw
upon us all.
Because Of his price guarantee Of
o hu, ~ 60 oto do 20
lose from so to IS cents upon every
bushel OF wheat harvested next seas
on. Having given this guarantee to
the farmer, he will make II good.
That Is Uncle Sans way. But what
is Mr. Farmer going to do for Uncle
Sam in the Victory Liberty Loan?
In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer, as a class has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able meantime
to get more sugar and everything
else upon which the government put
a restriction, than others have.
The big question now, when he
stands to cash in at Is per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is what
is he going to do next Liberty Loan
drive?
Some Liberty Loan officials are
suggesting that the farmer should
buy a s1O0 bond for each 100 bushels
Of wheat he sells to the government.
He has made the profit and should
have no hesitancy in taking high
grade security in payment for the diff
ference between what the govern
ment gets and what he receives for
his wheat

4,765 YankS Captured.

Official records of prisoners of war
captured by the Central Powers from
the American forces, show that there
are 1876 prisoners whose status was
still doubtful on March 20. A list
of these names has been forwarded to
the Central Records Office, A. E. F.,
for checking and investigation. The
War Department records compll ed
from reports on prisoners from all
sources show total loss by the
American army of 4,765 military
prisoners and 2S1 civilians. OF the
military prison ers, 4,376 have been
reported officially as released and 233
died in German prison camps.
Only one American officer of as
high rank as lieutenant-colonel was
captured during the war. Four ma
jors, 27 captains and 1863 lieutenants
were taken prisoners.

WHY ONE MORE
LOAN IS NEEDED
It Will Settle Nations War
Debts and Will Care for
Sick and Wounded.

Once in a while some one asks:
whats the need of another Liberty
Loan now that the war is Over?'
Revenue from taxes will not be suf-
ficient to pay all the bills, SO the
people will be called upon to provide
the money by subscribing to govern
ment bonds. This money is goine to
pay off the army OF producers at home
the farmers, merchants, manufac-
turers and others.
America had just begun to fight
when the Hun decided it was time to
quit Allied leaders expected the war
to last another year and the United
States government was turning out
ships, arms. ammunition and food to
overwhelm Germany in one big
drive.
Treasury officials have revealed
that in 1919 America would have had
a tank at the front for every seventy
five feet of line. We would have had
ten tons OF mustard gas ready for
shipment for ever" ton Germany
could pr tice. ThOusaL3s Of batter
les of guns would have been in act
ion for every one America had in 1918.
Everything else was being produced
in proportion.
This gigantic preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
thousands OF lives. Victory Liberty
Bonds will pay for this work which
had been contracted for and was be-
ing delivered when the armistice was
signed.
There are other purposes for which
money is need Part of our army OF
2 0OO,O 900 men must be kept in Europe
until the peace treaty is signed.
These soldiers must be fed, clothed
and otherwise maintained. Then they,
must be brought home.
The sick and wounded must be car
ed for in hospitals The army must
be demoblized. There are thousands
of manned soldiers, heroes OF the
great war, who must be taught self
supporting trades and given an oppor-
tunity to earn their living.
This reconstruction work at home
must he carried on. The Job must be
finished. The American people who
furnished the money to win the war
must supply it also to bring the ma
tion back to a peace basis.

HOLD ON TO WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS
Secretary of Treasury Urges
Citizens to Keep Govern
ment Securities Until They
Shall Have Matured.

Carter Glass, Secretary OF the Unit
ed States Treasury, has issued warn,
ing to patriotic American citizens
against unscrupulous persons who ad-
yertise that they are willing to pur-
chase War Savings Stamps. Mr.. Glass
does not wish to have the government
securities sold at sums below their
actual value.
He points out that people who are
actually in need Of money may take
their War Savings Stamps to post
Office and receive cash. Mr.. Glass
lrges holders to keep their stamps
until maturity.
He states that War Savings Stamps
belong only to the individual who first
purchased them and that people who
offer to buy stamps at low premium
are violating the letter of the law In
so doing. Men and women selling
stamps are not only losing money
which rightfully belongs to them, but
are aiding INSCRIPTIONS agents to
reap profits.

Loan Of Thankfu|ness

Just suppose you are driving along
peaceably in your automobile, not
speeding nor driving carelessly, yet
making progress for all that; suppose
that, rounding a turn in the road,
you suddenly see chasm ahead,
made by a washed-out bridge.
In this crisis you accept the one
chance of escaping annihilation. You
automatically shut off the power and
jam on the brakes hile the machine
skids up to the edge of the abyss and
stops. After an intense moment of
waiting, you all step out unhurt.
You find, however, that the effort of
stopping has ruined two expensive
tires, burned out your brake Innings
and damaged some minor braces.
If this really happened to you,
what would you do? Would you be-
moan the damages to your car and
regret the prospective repair bill?
Or would you thank God that you
had been able to save precious lives,
no matter at what expense? IT you
are Il regular man, you would he de-
voutly thankful and when the time
came would pay the expense bill
thankfully.
So each and all of us ought to feel
toward the coming Victory Liberty
Loan.
A year ago now just previous to
the great enemy offensive-the effort
which Germany promised would
quickly end the war in favor of auto
cracy-a certain Prussian nobleman
gave an outline of his country 5 peace
terms. They'included, in addition
to the annexation of Belgium and
northern France, the payment into
the kaiscr's treasury of an indemnity
of which, the minimum shall be
forty five billion do liars, to be paid
by America if France and Great
Britain are unable. ." These brazen
terms also included conditions that
would have left autocracy frowning
at us across the Atlantic and await
ing a favorable opportunity to strike
and subduc America also.
How different it is today!
Exactly like the folks in that au-
tomohile, we Americans, we people
of the Fifth Federal Reserve District
have all miraculously escaped "A dis
aster, dreadful in its potentialities
for evil. As nation, we have not
only escaped almost unhurt but have
emerged with added riches, renown
and prestiage. Never again will any
autocrat dare tlaunt America. Sue
cccding generations will be safe from
that peril. 1t has cost Uncle Sam
tidy sum of money and it will cost
some billions more to finish the job"
to repair the damage caused by the
effort of suddenly stopping the war.
But what is mere money compared
to the saving of lives and the main.
tcnance OF the great principles upon
which this Republic is built?
We ought to be glad and thankful
we do not have to pay some of that
minimum of forty five billion dollars.
We ought to be glad and thankful
we escaped disaster last spring and
summer. We ought to be supremely
thankful that victory was achieved
for us at SO low a costa cost we
can pay by loaning Uncle Sam our
money at fair rate of interest.
Let us thank God, from whom
all blessings fow." Let us put our
thankfulness into deeds by buying
more Victory Liberty Loan Bonds
next month than anyone expects us
