Let's be ready with our Investment
and not waste the time of the com

Patriotism calls for SACRIFICE. It
Is up to us to make the sacrifice of
our lives. Uncle Sam will pay 4
per cent Interest on the bonds a
high rate for such sound- security.
We must dig deep and invest every

THK LI1SKUTY LOAW
(By Floyd Kyle, sophomore at O. A.
C. and graduate of .the Central
Point high school.)
The American nation is now en
gaged in a great world war which is
to determine whether democracy or
Prusslanism shall reign. For suc
cess, every possible means shall be
utilized. The men are now in the
trenches and more men are going
daily, but men alono can not win a
war such a3 we have to contend with
In central Europe. As war Is carried
on today, money Is one of the Im
portant, if not the greatest determin
ing factor of the war. Ready specie
to buy food, clothing, ammunition,
etc., will give the United States
forces a distinctive advantage. The
United States, which leads all other
nations In the possession of gold, is
going to subscribe her wealth to com
bat the Hun Prusslanlsm.
The wealth of the United States is
not stored away in bags lying idle
In the national treasury, but Instead
is circulating among the people.
Therefore, now that the time has
come when the government is in need
of part of the gold, she must call It
in from the public. Not as a dona
tion, but tho opposite a loan to the
federal government with a fair rate
of Interest, making a profitable In
vestment for the people, and at the
same timo enlisting their money for
a righteous cause.
It Is well understood that the U. S.
will not receive any Indemnity from
a vanquished foe, no matter how de
cisive the victory. Tho money,
therefore, must be raised by taxes
and other sourcs of revenue here in
the states, it behooves 'every man
and woman in tills free country of
ours to be n Liberty bond owner, and
then by vlrtua of this thrift and
economy to Bave the amount of his
bonds. If, however, bonds are pur
chased and sold again, little" good Is
realized. For each Individual should
help bear the financial burden of tiie
war, und try to save enough in the
ensuing months to cover the amount
of his loan to tho government.
Sacrifices of the most rigid order
must be In vogue. "It Is our duty,"
says Treusurer McAdoo We, the
American people, must wake up to
the confronting facts that this war
hi now and has been for a year laid
at our doorstejn and that the hereto-,
fore far away dreams are now clearly
outlined realities. We must cut
down on somo of our extravagant
ways and save, not only foodstuffs,
but on everything In general. We
should enter the spirit of the game
iii
more and feel in ourselves the true
meaning of this mighty war.
There is not a saner or safer in
vestment open to the people. What
more could a money lender want
than a negotiatble note secured by
the government? The payment of the
bonds Is certain. The boy's who are
following the colors can see the value
of the bonds and are turning in from
one-half to two-thirds of their wages
to buy Liberty bonds. They have al
ready sacrificed their occupation,
personal conveniences and comforts,
and have suffered the pangs of part
ing from their families and friends.
Can not we who are enjoying a
democracy made possible by the flow
of American blood part with a few
paltry dollars?

Soldier's Letter.
The following letter was received
this week by Mayor and Mrs. C. B.
Lamkin, from their son Charles, who
Is with Battery E, C5th artillery:
"Camp Merritt, N. J., Mar. 18.
"Dear Papa, Mamma and All: I ex
pect you have been looking for let
ters from me for some time, but no
one was allowed to send any mail
until we got to where we were going
into camp. I am feeling fine with
the exception of a bad cold, which I
think will be all right soon. How
are you all?
"Well, I am going to try and tell
you of our whole trip. You know
we left Fort Stevens the night of
February 26. Our trip from Ashland
to 'Frisco was very common to m3,
but to some who had never been
over the road It was great. We
pulled into 'Frisco Friday morning,
March 1, and marched right onto the
Northern Pacific steamship. They
wouldn't give us any liberty in
'Frisco, so we were on the boat two
and one-half days before we left.
"Leaving 'Frisco at 2:30 p. m.
Sunday, the weather was sure fine
really hot. Two days out of 'Frisco
we all thought we were going to
croak with the heat. We all had our
underclothes off and taking at least
two shower baths a day. But at the
Panama canal It was sure tropical.
We were Just seven days from 'Frls-
co to Panama, and saw all of every
thing that it took to make tropics.
Banana trees, pineapples, cocoanut
palms, oranges and lots of tropical
ferns.
"Panama was the first city we
came in sight of. The first locks we
went througli were the Mari-Florls.
To explain these Is pretty difficult,
so I'll just give the names of them,
and when we are all back I can tell
you about them better. The next
locks were the Pedro Miguel. They
were about the same as the first.
Then the most interesting of all the
canal was between the Pedro Miguel
and Gatun locks. It was ten or fif
teen miles of the most beautiful
scenery I ever saw, including the
Culebra cut. You have read lots
about that. It still shows signs of
several landslides. The navy band
played all down the canal and the
boat you might say just floated
along, so we had lots of time to see
it all. Gatun locks were the last and
were about the same as the rest. We
pulled up at the docks In Colon at
6:30 p m.
"The next morning we left Colon
and sailed Into the Caribbean sea.
Were about one and one-half days,
then up the coast of Florida. The
next stop was Norfolk, and then up
to Hoboken. Landed here at about

always works. "Gets-It" makes cut

here to Camp Merritt at 8 o'clock
Sunday night.
"Camp Merritt is an embarkation
camp, holding about 40,000. I don't
think we will be here long, as some
fellows told us that all the troops
who were put In this place where we
are, averaged about three and one
half days' stay here before going
across. When we get across I'll
write as soon as I possibly can, tell
ing of our safe arrival.
"Well, folks, I have two or three
other letters to write, so will close
now, with love to all,

Tidings from France.
Mrs. J. J. Morton of Grants Pass,
formerly of Ashland, Is In receipt of
the following letters from her son,
Oliver Morton, who Is with. the 400th
Construction Squadron, 3rd Avia
tion Instruction Center, A, E. F., In
France:
February 3, 1918.
Dear Folks at Home: I received
Alta's and mamma's letter of Decem
ber 3 last week. You ask, mamma,
if Norman Tyler is In this company.
Yes, and be is one of the finest men
we have. We work together all day
In the office and then sleep In the
same set of bunks at night. He is
cur sergeant-major, has charge of all
the paper work and records of the
squadron.
You perhaps wonder at the new
heading on this letter. The govern
ment has a new scheme for number
ing aero squadrons in order to show
the kind of squadron by the number.
All squadrons between 400 and 699
will be construction squadrons.
Since we were the first one formed
we have been given the number 400.
Did you ever think that I would some
day be one of "the four hundred"?
However, the name 29th will always
be a pleasant memory with us, as
that was the name which belonged
to all the old crowd. In reality,
though, by the old scheme of num
bering we should have been called !
the 4thv, because there were only
three aero squadrons In the army at
the declaration of war, and we were
the first formed after that. But
there were other squadrons formed
and numbered up to 28 while we
were called the Foreign School
Squadron.
All the squadrons were mustered
together last week In a large grassy
field near here. It was Inspiring to

Hoosier contains all wanted features. And only those
that are practicable.
