Please distribute It at once us wide

"TO ALL RURAL RESIDENT.!
OK AMERICA: It Is a matter of
supreme importance that the Trea
sury of the United States shall be
supplied at all times with the am
ount of money needed to furnish
food and clothing, the guns, and the
ammunition required by our soldi
ers to fight successfully for the
safety and liberty of America, to
pay the allowances made by the gov
ernment permits every soldier to
'buy from it. The Treasury must also
have the necesary money to extend
credit to valiant Brlttian, France,
Belgium and Italy who are fighting
alongside of the American soldiers
on the bloody battlefields of France
Belgiam and Italy. If the American
people tail to lend their money to
their government for this noble pur
pose how can we gain a victory In
this cause? Everyone can help
by lending their money to the gov
ernment. They do not make a gift
of their money; they merely lend it
on Impregnable security and are paid
interest on the loan. At the same
time the farmers of the nation can
render genuine patriotic service by
lending .11 the money they can to
the government and encouraging
everybody else to do the same. It
makes no difference how small the
loan it will be helpful. Those who
can only buy thrift stamps, should
buy thrift stamps; those who can
only buy war Huvtogc stamps, should
buy war seVings' stamps; those who
ym- km i Liberty' Bend always.
They sbuld bay as many stamps
and as many Mpds as they can in
tead of ae few. The government has
now put these loans in such conveni
ent form that there Is no citizen in
the land who cannot help to some
extent If be is patriotic enough to
do so. I rely upon the farmers,
than whom are no more vitally in-
treated in protecting of American
future and the liberties of the
world, to do their utmost to help In
this great Liberty Loan work. The
farmers are already performing pat
riotic service of the highest value in
raising feed stuff needed by our own
military forces and citizens at home
and by the soldiers aud civilian pop
ulation of the great nations associ
ated with us, but they have a fur
thier duty to perform. They should
invest all their available money In
these obligations of their govern
ment. In doing so they will be help
ing to defend their liberty, their
rights and their farms against the
threatened aggression by the most
powerful autocratic .and military
government eve.r created
The farmers of the nation tradition
ally are freedom loving people. One
hundred, and forty-three years ago
on the 19th of this month the farm
ers at Lexington and Concord fired
the shot for Liberty and it was
heard around the world. I know
the American farmers of today are
just as liberty loving as their heroic
ancestors. I know that they will
join with other Americans, of every
business and profession, In provid
ing the money which will enable
their government to fight to a vic
torious conclusion this great war
aired rights."

Executive Chairman, Oregon Central

Washington, The American creed
for which the city of Baltimore of
fered a prlxo of $1000, was made
public here today. Us selection was
tha result of a "national oitliana"
creed contest" approved by President
Wilson, Speaker ("lurk and a host of
famous Americans. The author of
the creed, who wins the $1000 prize,
is William Tyler Pug" of Friendship
Heights, Md. The creed follews:
"The American's Creed I believe
lu the Putted States of America as
a government of the people, by the
people, for the people; whosu just
powers are derived from the con
sen tof the governed; a democracy
In a republic; soverlgn nation of
many soverlgn states; a perfect un
ion, one aud inseperable; established
upon these principles of freedom,
equality, Justice and humanity for
which American patriots sacrificed
their lives aud fortunes.
"I, therefore, believe It Is my duty
to my country to love it; to support
Its constitution; to obey Its laws; to
respect its flag and to defend It
against all enemies."
Tha Idea of laying emphasis on
the duties and obligations of citizen
ship In a national creed originated
with Henry 8. Cliapin and was first
announced by htm in September,
1916. The idea was approved by the
president and indorsed by the Vigil
antes, a nonpartlzan organization of
authors, artists and others for pat
rlotic put poses.
The creed awarded the prize was
selected from several thousand sub
mitted. William Tyler Page Is a decendant
