JEWS CAMPAIGN
 SPREADING FAST

The nationwide campaign of the Union of American Hebrew Congre- gations, which was launched on Fri day, April 2, Passover. by J. Walter Freiberg, president, has made such rapid strides forward that committees have already been formed in more than. 100 cities throughout the eoun- try. The purpose of the movement IS to insure the survival of Judaism in America.
 The campeign, which will last Ss weeks, will be largely of an educa- to the conviction of Rabbis of na- tional repute that American Jewry was gradually being weaned away from the House of Israel. It is the intention of leaders to fami1iarize Jews throughout the country with the work of the U. A. H. c. and to ed ucate Jews up to the thought that the services Of the Union are availa- ble to members of the race through out the nation.
 The plan contenpIates establish ment of a pension fund. the purpose of which will be to care for ministers and leaders in the declining years of their lives; the extension of activities of the Hebrew Union College and widening of activities of the Depart ment of Synagogue and School Ex- tension.

PARAGUAY RICH
 IN RESOURCES

Buenos Aires, April 9-Paraguay is a land of wonderful opportunity for North Americans, says w. l.. Schurz, United States trade commis-
 sioner who has just completed sev-
 en months investigation of its re-
 sources. Ten million dollars in
 American money has thus far been
 invested in the little republic but in the opinion of Mir Schurz, million
 more of American capital would find
 profitable return there.
 Nearly the size of the state Of
 Missouri and with less than 1,000,- O0o inhabitants, Paraguay has un- touched resources of amazing variety and possibilities, MT. Schurz told a correspondent of the Associated Press.
 "Over half the country is forested with the finest hard woods in the world" he said. Its soil and cl1-
 mate are capable of raising anything | under the sun, including wheat and | bananas. Experiments have prov 1 ed that more cotton to the acre can i be raised on Paraguayan soil than on any other soil where cotton is culti- vated at present. It is good for to- | bacco and sugar, it is good for any, l thing. Oranges in Paraguay grow wild You would not believe that only one out of everey 100 oranges produced in
 Paraguay ever is eaten. But 1t Is so
 Billions of oranges lie on the ground | and rot.
 ''There are deposits of manganese | and iron of unknown extent that have | not been worked since the Paraguyan 1 war ended in 1870: It is waiting for | 44 hTxsI 4o l is also copper.
 '"The American investments in Paraguay at present are in cattle, meat packing plants and quebracho.
 There are less than 100 Americans in
 the whole country. They are popu-
 lar with the natives who think 8 lot | of the United States

PLEA MADE FOR
 LIBERTY BONDS

Tn view of the crusade that is being waged by the Savings Division, First Federal Reserve District against falk- CTS who are selling worthless stocks, especially to people who are being in duced to part with their government securities in order to buy them, the following circular prepared by one of the best known men in Boston is of special interest at this time.
 During the war we bought Liberty bonds for our country's sake and
 our part in the war, our way to fight.
 Now, when we can buy $1G0 Liberty
 bonds for about $90 each, let's buy them for our own sake. Because they are the safest invest ment on earth.
 Because they are now selling at just
 about the lowest prices at which | United States Government bonds have
 sold in 40 years.
 | Why the present low prices? l Because in the readjustment follow money, like the cost of everything
 interest on Liberty bonds is fixed, the selling price of the bonds has declined to meet the present cost of money. You can now buy a $1o0 Fourth Idlo- erty Loan 1-4 per cent bond for about $90 plus little interest, which you will get back when you cash the next coupon, and a commission of 5l cents and you will get $4.25 interest
 each year to October 15, 1888, unless the government decides to pay the bond off in 1883 as it has right to | do, and you will get $100 when the bond is paid.
 Let's say the United States Govern ment will pay the bond in 1898, then
 for about S90 you will get $180. T5 and
 your money will be safe and sure al the time.

founded, the truth preached religious truth: the
