OF LIBERTY BOND
Buying It Is Merely Lending
Money to Yourself for a
Great Necessity.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MEANS US
Stupendous Amounta Are Needed to
Pay for Work and Materials, So
Our Old-Time Extmvagancce
Must Da Dropped.
By JOHN PALMER GAVIT.
Onu of the good results that will ac
crue to the American people from their
participation In the war Is a better
undei standing of the purpose anil
function of money. Also, they will
more fullj appreciate their relation to
the government and the fact that it Is
their government us much theirs ns
4helr homes ami farms und factories.
For purposes of poetry and .entlment
U Is well enough to talk about "Uncle
Hnm," your deotlon to him, your will
ingness to lend tohlmbythe purclmso
of bonds, Wnr Savings Certificates and
Thrift Stamps, ami to give your own
life and the lives of your sons on the
actual fighting front; but you must not
lose sight of the fact that after all, the
United States, "Uncle Sam," U. S.,"
"Our Country," and so on whntever
poetic phrase we use to represent the
nation In Its united action and aspi
ration Is Just US, ourselves In our
own proper persons, working and sav
ing and nppljlng our Joint strength, for
ourselves, our children and our chil
dren's children.
Too much hnvo wc thought of the
jmverninent, the nation, Uncle Sam,
and so on, as something sepniute from
ourselves; something to which we give
und lend, eagerly or willingly or
grudgingly or under compulsion, as the
ca.su limy he. We have had too little
of the piactlce of team work for a
Kieat common purpose our own pur
pose. The Liberty IN ml campaigns fur
nish occasion for lemliidlng ourselves
that It Is our country, ourselves In our
organized capacity, that Is engaged In
the war to abolish autocracy; that
"Uncle Sum" Is us. In common de
termination to do and give all of our
selves to an enterprise as thoroughly
woith while as the American Itevolu
tlon or life war to preserve the t'nlon
and free the slaves. Ami one of the
"vviijm In which we can participate di
rectly and actlvel.v In this cnteiprl-e Is
to turn our monc all of It that Is not
absolutely and honestly necssar.v to
the essential purposes of living and
keeping well and etllclent for the other
things we have to do to help along the
-enterprise over to ourselves In our
organized capacity; that Is, to the
government, for the work of the war
lilcli It Is conducting for us.
Money Useful Only for Exchange.
Money Is nothing in Itself Just pa
per and metal. It Is useless unless
somebody else will accept It In ex
change for .something he has or some
thing he can do. The measure of Its
value to you Is the other fellow's need
of the materials or the labor which It
will In turn command for him. Spend
ing money is the way we have of gt
ting from other people the things they
liavo or the woik the can do "(!oods
and Services." Our responsibility,
therefore, lies In the question of the
Kind of things for which we choose
to exchange money, and the time anil
circumstances In which we exert that
choice.
Now, we have been n very wasteful
and extiavagant people; we have not
thought much about the effect upon
ourselves and other people ami upon
the nation as a whole, of the n.s In
which we .spent our money, or the time
and circumstances In which we spent
It. Hut the wnr Is compelling us to
think about that. Not even the great
est nation, or the most poweiful gov
ernment, or the shrewdest llnanclers
can make something out of nothing.
And when war, the most ravenous kind
of waste and extravagance that man
kind hns devised, comes along to take
workers out of Industry and oft the
farms, nnd to turn them from produc
tion to high-power consumption and
destruction no matter If the ultimate
purpose of the war be quite woith Its
cost In life and propeit there simply
nre not material and labor enough In
the country to permit both the contin
uance of the old kinds of expenditure
und the taking on of the new.
Why Wc Must Do Without.
For the purposes of the war the
government of the United State must
have stupendous amounts of mateilals
nnd work, and theie is not enough of
these to give the government what It
must have and at the same time allow
the people generally to have as much
material nnd work for their prlvato
uses ns they have In ordinary times.
Therefore we must to the greatest
possible extent keep out of the market
for materials and labor, so us (1) to
GATHERED FACTS
A puro white mineral wool Is being
manufactured at Yurravllle, a suburb
of Melbourne, from busult rock or
"blue stone."
Spanish Inventors have developed n
method of treating coik so as to form
a substitute for wool In mattresses,
cushions nnd other articles.
A powerful wireless station In New
Jersey now in government control 1

things nnd work for us Instcnd of for
the government nnd so that (2) tha
things nnd tho work that would bo put
Into products nnd efforts for our per
sonal uso nnd onjojment shall be com
pelled to turn to tho kinds of prod
ucts and work that the government
must hnvo to win the war. Every dol
lar, evory cent, thnt wo spend for
something thnt we could go without
competes In tha mnrket with the gov
ernment, nnd by Just so much Impedes
the big cause.
liven if wo saved tho money and
burled It in tho buck yard we should,
be helping the government. But thete
Is a better thing to do with It. Tiitf
government must have money, In Im
mense amounts, In order to buy ma
terials und work. And we are nskod
to lend It to the government for that
purpose, In addition to vvhut we pa,
us taxes.
Bonds Aro Mora Than Receipts.
The Liberty bonds ure the receipt
which the government gives us for thl
loan. Hut they nre mote than ro
celpts; wu get receipts for the taxes.
A Liberty bond Is not only the gov
ernment's acknowledgement that you
have loaned the money; It Is Its prom
ise to pay It buck upon a ceitaln day,
and to pay jou In the meanwhile, at
certain Intervals, for the use of tho
money. AU of the resources of tho
country In materials and the labor
of the peop.c our own good faith to
ward each other, our permanence as u
civilized nntlon-nre pledged to tho
pnyment of principal and Interest lu
strict accordance with the terms of
the transaction ns printed on each
bond. There Is not n safer or more
vnluable piece of pnper In the world.
When this war Is over there will be
only two kinds of folks In the United
States thosu who did nil they could
and gave all they could, and those who
didn't. Among those who didn't will
he the ones who tried to keep on using
nnd enjoying things and the work of
other people, us they used to do; thnso
who failed to do their utmost In tho
way of really useful work, and those
who demanded for themselves unnec
essary things und labor which might
have been used for the purposes of
the government In winning the wnr.
All You Can, Is the. Measure.
Cvery man knows In his heait what
lu can do ami whether he is doing It.
lie may be able to deceive the govern
ment ; b.v loud-mouthed piofesslons of
put i lot Ism, saluting the tlag, cheetlng
at meetings, ami other noisy and con
spicuous dlspla.vs be may deceive his
neighbors; but he cannot fool himself.
He knows whether he has done all he
could! And "all he could" honestly,
on the level, every man the Judge of
his own effoit In the squarest kind of
dealing with his own soul In u kind of
Judgment da that Is the meastiie.
He Is a poor cicntuic who thinks of
the Llbert.v bond solely as an Invest
ment a gi mining gift to bis country,
with a suing on It. Hut no one need
be ashamed to lend to the govern
ment. Uncle Sam will take whit be
needs without money return, In tho
form of taxes, and we shall pay In will
ingly, cheerfully. We are doing a vvoil:
for the luturc the world will be
cleaner and better to live lu for all
time b.v reason of vvhut we are doing
now; tlteiefoie It Is right that a part
of this Inn ilen should be met by those
who will come after us and reap the
long-time benefits.
In the llnest spirit our young men
are going to the battle front to offer
their utmost, theli very Hesh and
blood, In uuutteiable toll und ugon.v,
In doing what must be done there. They
hope to come back, but they are will
ing to die there if that must be. And
thousands of our best are doing Just
that. In like unswerving spirit we who
stay at home must do our part going
without things and making those we
have serve to the utmost and through
this .self-denial furnishing to the gov
ernment jour government which Is
taking cine of our bojs, the means to
get the enotnious amounts of materials
fd labor needed to take care of them
und to equip them for what they hnvo
to do.
This Is the meaning of the Liberty
bond.
Uncle Sam Turns Tightwad.
The money which you are lending
Uncle Sam b.v put chasing Liberty
Bonds, and with which he In turn pur
chases foodstuffs for the boys In khaki,
goes much faither than one at first
realizes. Formerly all scrapings from
plates and all iefu-e from camp kltdi
ens was burned. The old order has
changed. CJnibngo waste Is now sepa
lated Into vailous classes such as
bread, raw fats and meals, cooked
meat, cooked grease, bones ami other
gin huge.
These mateilals are weighed after
each meal, and a statement of the
weights forvv in tied to the conservation
and leclnmatlon olllcer In ench camp.
In this way, the army has an absolute
cheek on wastes of unit kitchens
which enables It to prevent over-rationing
and Individual wastage. The gar
bage float these separations ,1s tinned
over to reduction plants, which In
turn utilize these wastes for the man
ufacture of nltro-gljcerln and for fer
tilizers. Feast of the Assumption of the Vlr-
gin Mary, commemorating her resiir
rectlnn and her miraculous ascent Into
heaven, Is celebrated August in.
