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

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
