DUTY OF ALL IS CLEAR War More Than Armi.s-To Provide Food, Clothing, Weapons and Hun. dreds of Other Things is Oppor. tunity of Those Who Do Not Offer Lives-Buy Bondsl America is the Atlas on which the world is resting. Not only must Amer ican soldiers fight and win the war for democracy, but American dollars must equip and maintain American armies and, in addition, they must -maintain the armies of the Allies. Never has so colossal a task fallen to the lot of any nation; never before in the history of the world has any nation been in a position to accom plish such a task. America can do ill that she is expected to do, but she can only do it if every citizen of this greatest republic does his full share. The war in Europe is more than the splendid army of young American gpanhood fighting under our banners in Flanders; it is a matter of food, Shelter, clothing, munitions, weapons, "oads, engines, cars, ships, hospitals, medicines, of hundreds of other im portant things that take labor and /iL _ .4 . * 6. Ii ! " 1f/4' /"loll iirrS; h(I fm hell oui~.whoewers for me.i money to produce. To provide these things is the opportunity and duty of those who do not offer their lives. Winning this war is a matter of money. When you buy a Liberty Bond it means money for the United States treasury. During the coming rear, this nation must raise $24,000, 100,000. About $16,000,000,000 of this must be raised by loans and $8,000, )00,000 by taxation. If we do not raise :his money, the United States treas ary will have failed. When the iUnited States treasury fails, the war is lost. If the war is lost, democracy is lost-the world is lost. Thus we get some idea of what each individual must do. He must save, do without luxuries, he must get along pith what he has rather than )uy things that are not absolutely nec ?ssary. He must do those things only which are of productive value. He must simplify and cheapen his diet. In short, he must in every possible way use for his own comfort as little ,f' the nation's labor, time, and effi diency as possible. He must save avery cent of money possible and loan .t to the Government. In this way ,nly can a citizen live up to his patri ,tic duty and do his part towards win aing and ending the war.

Many people insist that the Ninth District is the best organized of any group of states. Results seem to prove it. The active workers in the Third Liberty Loan campaign numbered over thirty thousand out of a little more than 5 million people. The men responsible to Washington, the officers of the Northwest's finan cial army, are not taking the credit. They only directed this great terri tory's patriotic energies. There have to be officers, however, and everyone should know who they are. The men and women who led to victory in the Third Loan will be in charge during the Fourth campaign, September 28th to October 3rd. Isn't It Great? The Northwest's crops are satisfac tory. The money returns from them will be big. The Ninth District will do its full share towards feeding the armies of freedom and then will turn around and loan the Government its full share of dollars to make the Fourth Liberty Loan a great success. Surely this is a fine part of a wonder ful country in which to live. CALL THE ICE MAN You will need him this weather and he will come on the jump be cause he knows that you need his ice.
