Among other things we planted a collection of beans and peas and radishes in one geometrical square and had hustled water nightly to coax 'Well, those seeds came up | Job and what in the world he was after we don’'t know, but he was an ‘ex- tremely energetic animal, for he dug a hole in that garden that he could have been buried in and he pranced over everything in that vicinity. And we're frank to state what we said about it beat anything we remarked when we were toiling with a spading fork and the toughest bunch of sod and whatnot we ever tackled out their photographs and a lot of sickning guff about them? MUZZLE THE PRESS ‘MUZZLERS There isn’'t a fairer, more loyal, more conscientious class of persons in the United States than the editors of its newspapers, yet there are certain interests that would have them muzzled and told what they can and cannot publish. There isn’t an American editor, one with the in- terests of his home country at heart, but wouldn’t do everything in his power to uphold the United States and they intend to. Those personages in Washington who are so #nxious to muzzle the loyal American newspapers needn’t be afraid of the American editors. ‘We favor muzzling some of those would-be press muzzlers. Washington, May 26.—David F. Houston, Jr., son of the secretaary of agriculture, has joined the navy and is now in train- ing. He has shown great aptitude for the service. Six sec- retaries in President Wilson's cabinet have contributed nine of their sons to the army and navy. We're just dying to know who the other eight are.

You who wish to see the War ended quickly —you who desire the prosperity and safety of Amer- ican business—to you Uncle Sam offers today the opportunity to make the best financial and patri- otic investment of your life. Tc you Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo says: “The greatest imme- diate “service ‘the Ameérican people can render in this War for universal lib- erty throughout the world is to fur- nish the means for its vigorous prose- cution. This bond issue is the first- step. I earnestly bespeak the co-op- eration of every citizen throughout the length and breadth of the land in this great service of patriotism.” In asking you to subscribe to the Liberty Loan your Government is not asking you to spend your money. In- stead it holds out to you a splendid opportunity to save and mvest. ' When you invest in a “Liberty Bond” you get a signed promise backed by the total resources of the richest nation in the world—a wealth of $250,000,000,000. HOW THE FINANCIAL VOLUN- TEER AIDS HIS COUNTRY. The Liberty Loan is to be used to extend credit to our Allies, so that they may purchase our products and ma- terials. Not a dollar of this loan will leave this country or pay for other than American products. The finan- cial volunteer is enabling his country to extend this credit, and to market more American goods. The extension of this credit by our government is going to quicken the pulse of American business for years to come. It makes us the biggest creditor of our Allies and binds them more firmly than could any treaties It broadens the market for our goods, increases the demand for what we have to sell and speeds up production. b 31, PER CENT NET INCOME. Liberty Loan Bonds bear 3% per cent interest, payable semi-annually December 15th and June 15th. Our government has made these bonds ex- empt from all taxes, .except. inheri- tance and estate taxes, so that they yield an absolutely net income of 3% per cent. If before the end of the war, gov- ernment bonds bearing higher interest should be issued, you can exchange your Liberty Bonds for them. IN MULTIPLES OF $50, These bonds -have been purposely made in multiples of $50 so that every one might have this opportunity to be- come a Government Bond Holder. Liberty Loan Bonds mature in 30 years and are redeemable in 15 years. Bonds in multiples of $100 may be reg- istered, so that the income comes to you automancally The last great Government Bond is- in 1900. FOR EVERY PERSON IN EVERY FAMILY. . A Liberty Loan Bond is the ideal investment for every member of the family. sue sold for par in 1898 and for 110}./; For those in the family who are just starting to get ahead, Liberty Loan Bonds afford a prutected investment where their savings are profitable and secure. Why not buy Liberty Bonds for the baby now and provide for }us college education? Liberty Bonds are the best basis for credit in the world. When you find yourself short of cash or when collections are slow and you need cash to get your discounts, just pre- sent your Liberty Bonds to your bank- er and he will take them as security for a loan. He’'ll hold the bonds until you are ready to repay your note— when he'll return them to you—and all the while they will be paying you in- terest. Believing that it is the wish of this country to have this opportunity to in- vest and receive mterest for the finan- cial support they give in this war, rath- er than to carry the entire amount by taxation, your government is offering you this chance today. This is a solid business proposition—a chance to in- vest in the best securities in the world while at the same time performing as patriotic an act as you can do. Should this issue not be completely subscribed the burden of taxation will probably have to be assumed. Be a government bond holder in the greatest war of liberation the world has ever known. Make your subscrip- tion at any bank, bond house, trust company, department store or post of- fice today.
