cates clearly that the people of this
country are not fully aware of the
seriousness of the situation in which
this nation has been placed by the
world war."
J. L. Johnson, president of the
German Savings Institution of St.
Louis, was introduced by Mr. Stephens
as a thorough Boone County product,
his parents having lived here for a
great many years.
What Failure Would Mean.
Mr. Johnson went over the advan
tages of the Liberty bonds, point by
point. In contrasting them with the
disadvantages of taxation or the con
scription of wealth. "A calamity on
the battlefield," he said, "would hard
ly be more disastrous to us than the
failure of this second Liberty Loan."
The speaker made it clear that it
was not only a duty, but a privilege
to purchase Liberty bonds now. "If
we ire fighting a war for democracy
we must fight it on democratic princi
ples," he said. "We send" the sons
of the rich as well as the sons of the
poor, so that all should support the
Liberty Loan movement," he asserted.
