Remember the newspapers are
doing their patriotic duty, and Just
now their struggle is not altogether
easy. This paper has been compelled,

subscription price 50 cents on the
year. This is hardly sufficient per
cent in raise to meet the require
ments but it will have to suffice
You appreciate our situation, and
you will not hesitate to give us a
lift, that we may be able to maintain
our present standard of efficiency.
DO YOUR SHARE.
Although the sheer weight of
America's millions of troops will be
sufficient to crush the Hun back of
the Rhine and batter down upon the
Kaiser's ears the remnants of the
world crown he thought to wear, It
is not the numbers, but typical
American mobility, which has saved
the day for the entente thus far.
Wilhelm and the German General
Stac, admitting the gigantic re
sources of the United States, made
the error of calculating in years in
stead of weeks the time necessary
for the shaping of those resources
for war purposes.
The day that we entered the war,
scores of our fleet destroyers sped
east across the Atlantic. To a ship,
they reported upon arrival at British
naval bases, "Ready for action."
When continued losses by sub
marines seemed likely to make good
the German threat to starve Eng
land, Schwab turned a hundred ship
yards loose on a shipbuilding pro
gram such as the wildest optimist
had not dreamed possible.
American railroad men built 2000
miles of track in France; hundreds
of huge warehouses were erected;
mountains of food, munitions and
other supplies were landed.
When the German masses, re
leased from all Eastern fronts, began
their ominous drive through Picardy,
American troops, months in advance
even of the hurry-up American pro
gram, began to pour through the
"hannel gateways, and the Hun was
held, then driven back.
Thus American ability to con
centrate quickly its war efforts on
any given point on the enemy line
has foiled every Hun attempt
whether by sea or land.
A really great demonstration of
this American faculty will be given
in the Fourth Liberty Loan. Con
fronted with the necessity of raising
a war loan of twice the size of any
of Its epoch-making predecessors,
we are called upon to finish the task
5n three weeks.
Only for the full and united
nffort of every man, woman and child
In the United States can this great
feat be completed in the time set. It
is as certain that it will be completed
successfully as that the grim courage
uf America on French battlefields
will continue to batter back the Hun. j
Be sure to do YOUR share.

Both are fundamentally false In
meaning. They should be sent to the
scrap heap of rubbish and supplanted
by "Buy until it helps" and "Give
until it helps."
Do not for one moment valn
gloriously think that this means
until It helps the country or the Red
Cross or the Y. M. C. A. organiza
tions. It means buy or give until it
helps you and gives you a clearer
understanding of your responsibility.
"Buy until it helps" you by broad
ening your vision of the war and the
struggle to save civilization.
Buy Liberty Bonds not out of the
surplus which you can spare without
feeling.
Buy not merely because the pur
chase of Liberty Bonds Is strengthen
ing the nation's power to fight.
But buy because your soul needs
the quickening influence of a wider
conception of liberty and humanity
and civilization. And the more
freely you buy the greater will be
the enobling of your own soul. You
I will be helping yourself, and In that
; way you will at the same time be
j helping the nation and civilization.
Buying Liberty Bonds is to save
: your wife, your mother, your daugh
j ter, from the last degradation which
I women can suffer, as In Belgium and
'France, and to save your property
.and your nation from destruction,
j It is no act of charity to buy
Liberty Bonds. It Is merely con
tributing a moiety out of your ability,,
great or small as It may be, for the
purchase of the engines to stop the
conflagration which, having swept
over much of the world, Is sweeping
directly toward your house, and you
must save your house by your own
work, or else recreantly throw upon,
your neighbors the responsibility of
saving you, while you stand off and
shirk your duty.
