L URGE LIBERTY BONDS Itecently, a class In Kngllsh com position at His hlKh school given the tusk of writing to certain J prominent men of the city (sup posedly) urging them to subscribe for Liberty bonds. The letter wets surprisingly strong appeals, many of them, for thd support of this caue. A few of them, average aamplcs of the whole, are reproduced: Dear Sir; I am going to approuch you on a sulijeil which Is of vital Interest to you, myself, and our country, ,1 urge you to buy a Liberty bond. Uuylng a Liberty bond is alwa sufe, Your money I necure with lit lerel. The boy of (ir.uili? 'uis did not IiuhIuim to volunteer 'rd oiftr their lives If n'cary ( iir muntry for Uberty w why siioul'l not c" ry cltl tun do his part anu buy a Liberty bond ? Trusting you will Cilnk over my letter and see lh neeeanlty of buy ing a bond in Its true light, I am Yours Sincerely, 1 MKMIA HAKKIl. Pear Hlr: ' , I am urging you, for the welfare of our nation, and the betterment. Indirectly, of the whole world, y buy a Liberty bond. It takes money as well as men lo win a war, and we must a I no be stronger than the opposing side. The government sends our men to training camps, transports, provides for, and supplies them with war am munitions. It has other numerous duties to perform, which It cannot do unless It haa sufficient money. Therefore, without our combined help, It can succeed only with great difficulty., If at all. .Many of ua are buying Liberty bonds under difficulties, while oth ers who can easily do so, have, as yet. bought none. , Think what It means If the allies are defeated. Think what It means If they are victorious. The whole world Is watching this movement with Interest, and It Is up to us, ss Americans, to show them that wo ore out to win. Yours truly, v MAIKJR HHATTOX. Hear Sir: I am sorry to hear that you have not yet bought a Liberty 'bond. Your country Is at war and liberty Is at stake. The people of England, Franco and the other allies are giv ing their money to help the cause, wnile you will not even loan your fovernmenl money nt four per cent Interest tliat It may the better pre serve liberty for you. I sincerely re-, quest that you buy a Uberty bond Immediately. Yours truly. rtEINHOLD SCHMIDT. Desr Sir: You are able to purchase a Lib erty bond and you should do so at once for a great peril still threatens the United States and her allies. If the people do not resimnd as they did to the first Liberty loan they are giving fresh hopes and energy to the Germans. Buy a band at once so that we may win the war and have pence. Viewed from a standpoint of eco nomics few Investments ran prove more satisfactory than government bonds. Money Invested In this form of security Insures a positive In come for a long period of time. Hoping that you will buy a Ube ty bond at onco for the sake of sav ing our country from the knlser and his people, I remain Yours truly, CLARA FIRTH. JapSntis Emigrant. ' Tetsti Mskl, a prominent sugar plan ter of Japan, who. recently contributed a seriea of live articles to the Tokyo Jljl, takes a gloomy view of emigra tion - from Japan. "Jspnn's foreign trsde Is not capable of sustaining the rapid Increase of the nation," he says. "Kmigrntlon Is therefore almost com liul.iory. Three handicaps exist for the Jai'iitieso eiiilgrant-llrst. lack of pio neer spirit among the emigrants them selves; second, unwisdom of the emi gration companies, mid, third, absence of guidance and support by the govern ment. .In ui iicm emigrants are sim ply thrown abroad." lie regards South America as llie best Held for ctntenilloii.
