out of the First Lberty Looan. This method of finance has been
maintained ever since; the Government always being in debt. It
is a fact that nearly ail of the Fourth Liberty Looan money has
already been spent and very soon the Government will be spend-
ing the money which you must supply in the shape of subscrip-
tions to the I\fth Liberty Loan.
GOOD TIMES COMING.
We hope, and with good reason, that after the close of the
war, we shall find ourselves with an enormous international bank
account, with the people of Europe owing us possibly five hundred
million dollars yearly in interest alone on our Looans to them,
that we shall find ourselves with a magnificent merchant fleet
which will carry our goods promptly and cheaply to every part
of the world, and that the demand for our manufactured products
will be so great that we shall have an era of prosperity unknown
in the history of the nation. It takes capital to conduct business
and now is the time for every sensible business man to put by
money for use during that period of activity and prosperity that
we look forward to in the near future.
PATRIOTISM AND GOOD SENSE.
There is no better way of hiking care of this money than
by investing in Liberty Bonds. Fvery dollar so placed is arsplendid
investment and the placing of it constitutes an act of the truest
patriotism.
THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT OF ALL
is the fact that al of our sacrifices, including those of our
noble dead in France will have been in vain unless we finish the
task which we have undertaken. We have poured out our blood and
treasure in order that we may ensure to ourselves and the world
freedom, democracy and happiness. Having won the right to
institute these principles on a world wide basis, shall we now draw
back at the very moment when our object is within our grasp?
It is unthinkable.
READ WHAT THESE MEN SAY.
These men representative of what is best in the business
l>fe of the community.
Hon. W. P. Hobby,
Governor State of Texas.
“I am apprehensive that the citizens of this State might
overlook their present and future obligations to the Government
incident to victory. It is hoped that holders of Liberty Bonds
will not place them immediately on the market, but that they
wili continue the conduct of their business affairs on a war basis
holding themselves in readiness to further finance the Govern-
ment and to refrain from doing any act which night impair the
value of outstanding Government securities.”
Jas Callan,
President of the Cattle Raisers Association of Texas.
Menard, Texas.
“The country is not restored to normal conditions by the
signing of the Armistice, nor is the drouth-stricken area
restored to normal by reason of recent rains. The people should
be implored to preserve their patriotism, economy and industrial
endeavors to the end of supporting our Government and them-
selves.”
Hon. W. P. Hunt,
Governor of Arizona.
“The people of this State and elsewhere will speedily come
tn a realization that the sacrifices the allies have made will be
unavailing unless the reconstruction is in accordance with true
democratic principles. Those principles necessitate a direct re-
sponsibility by every individual in the Government, a responsi-
bility which can only be met by continued retrenchment including
the holding of all war securities, foregoing luxuries until every
soldier has returned to his home and above all it is necessary
to maintain production wherever possible and to convert war
industries into normal peace activities. The sacrifices that have
been made must not be followed by domestic chaos."
Hun. R. L. Williams.
Governor State of Oklahoma.
"Citizens must not make the mistake of thinking the war is
over. Remaining tasks of the war demobilizing of armies and re-
turning to normal industries of millions of soldiers and laborers i
war factories demand patriotic co-operation from every citizen.
CONSTRUCTION to an extent hardly to be com-
prehended by the human mind is to be our work
during the coming years.
And to perform this task calls for a degree of abil-
ity ami courage and steadfastness that will, if
properly displayed, give to our generation an en-
viable place in history,

THE COUNTRY NEEDS ITS PATRIOTS NOW
MORE THAN EVER BEFORE
Because eeveral essential matters have yet to be attended to.
For one thing we have not yet made pcuce with Germany, and
there is no telling what amount of police work may have to be
dene. Germany has no proper government, and revolution and
opposition may be met with at any time. An armyof over two
million men and about a milion men belonging to our sea forces
have to be paid, fed, transported and then returned home Fnor-
mous government contracts for supplies cannot be repudiated,
but the goods must be paid for in full. Our great ehip-building
activit es designed to make us at lenst the second greatest carry-
ing power in the world must be carried out at a cost of many
millions of dollars, to the ultimate advantage of every business
man in this country. Our allies, if they need money, must have
it.
To draw back now and to refuse to spend money would Im
to place ourselves in the position of a business man who having
sunk an enormous amount of capital and effort in a businens,
quits just at that moment when the business is on its feet and
is ab out to pay dividends.
HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS.
It is really not a question of whether or not we desire to
spend more money we MUST do it. A word of explanation as to ।
the manner in which the United States Government collects and
spends money will make this matter perfectiy clear. When the
war started, the Government contracted for goods to the value
of many hundreds of millions of dollars without having tthe
money te pay for the goods. The Government then borrowed
from the banks on Short Term Certificates of Indebtedness the!
necessary money to keep matters going and then repaid the banks'

upon us for the food which will keep
them from starvation.
With food the United States made
it possible for tbi' force* of democ-
racy to hold out to victory. To insure
democracy in the world, we must con-
tinue to live simply in order that we
may supply thiese liberated nntions of
Europe with food. Hunger among n
people inevitably breeds unarchy.
American food must complete the work
of making the world safe for democ-
racy.
Last sear we sent 11,820,000 tons of
food to Europe. For the present year,
with only the European Allie* to feed,
we had originally pledged ourselves to
n program that would hnve increased
our exports to 17,500,000 Inna. Now,
to feed the liberated natlons, we will
have to export n total of not less than
20,000,000 ton* practtcally the limit
of loading capacity at our ports. Ite-
viewing the world food situntion, we
find that nome foods will be obtninable
in quantities suflelent to meet nil
world need* under a regime of eco-
nomteal consumption. On the other
hand, there will be marked world
shortages in some Import ii nt commodi-
tie*.
Return to Normal Bread Loaf.
With the enlarged wheat crops
which Ameriean Turmer* have grown,
and the supplies of Australia, the Ar
gentine and other markets now acces
elide to shipping, there are bread
grains enough to enable the nntions to
return to their normal wheut loaf,
provided we continue to mill Hour ul

avoldance of waste,

nge—about 3,000,000,000 pound* in
pork products, dairy produets and
vegetable nil*. While there will be a
shortage of about three million ton*
in rich protein feeds for dairy mil*
mills, there will be suflelent supplies
of other feed sluff* to allow economical
consumptlon.

fielent to load these shlps. There will
be a shortage in the importing coun-
tries, but we cannot hope to expand
exports materlally for the next months
in view of the bottle neck in trans-
portation.
We will have a suflelent supply of
augur to allow normal consumption in
this country if the other nntions re-
tain their present short rations or In-

will furnish more than 00 per cent.
The United States including the West

20,000,000 ton* of food of all kinds HH

about 6,000,000 fans.

casual survey of the world supplies

conclusively that Europe will know

There are condition* of famine in

Additional Loans are to be floated. It is unpatriotic now to
throw bonds on the market needlessly. The next few months of
effort will be the real test of patriotism. Real patriots will obey the
requests of their Government leaders just as cheerfully as they
obeyed them a year ago.”
Senator Morris Sheppard,
Washington.
"Absolutely essential that it lm everywhere understood that
sacrifices and restrictions are needed to keep the Government
properly financed and our soldiers clothed and fed. Any attempt
at this time to throw off all restrictions and resume normal con-
ditions might have serious effect on our entire economic and busi-
ness foundations ad fatally impair our abil ty to mhke certain
the glorious fruits of our great struggle for human Liberty."
