PEOPLE'S DUTY IN THE LIBERTY LOAN All Must Do Tiiair Pari, Says Gr. Hiliis. CIVillZflTIOri i:i CALAnGE By Rev. Pr. NEWELI. DNIUHT H1LLIS. Pastor of Piymiu'^ ClMfwli, Brooklyn, N. V. It is the peo ple's duty to sub scribe to the lib erty loan, said 1 >r. Illllis, pas tor of Plymouth church, Hrook lyn. In the sev enth of his series of sermons. If the soldier pro tects the state, the business man must arm the sol $ dier; otherwise the republic and free governments cannot survive. In. 1 1 ; 1 1 ; ? /t. iiiiua viu'ftC for his text, "There is no discharge from this war." Like an advancing storm suddenly a prills lias come upon 6ur beloved coun try. Not since Fort Sumter was tired upon lias the sky been so black. \\ itli France and England we have now en tered upon the most terrible war that ever shook our earth. One hundred and forty years ago our fathers found ed this republic, dedicated to inde pendence. equality and self govern ment. In 177<> 3,000.000 of people, con trolling a little fringe of land on the Atlantic coast, founded free institu tions. Soon France and Switzerland followed our I ad until today there are more than twenty republics, including 1,100,000.000 of people, controlling nine tenths of tlie land of the globe. Over against the democracy of the free peo ples. with their manufacturing life, stands the autocracy of Germany with ber military life. In this terrible war autocracy and democracy are In a death grapple. Today we behold a na tion using every power of the intellect, every secret of science, every form of organized efficiency, not to build up and better the Germans, but to strike down and ruin peaceful Belgium and the peasants of northern France. Over against the free peoples emphasizing industry stands autocratic Germany, that lias turned its land into a military machine and has for years prepared for a calculated and remorseless use of steel, fiery gas, dynamite, torpedoes, for killing any people whose industrial prosperity either exceeds theirs or stands in the way of their ambitious schemes. Once Itoine was o\er against Carthage like two castles, with cannon shotted to the muzzle. Today German autocracy anil militarism is o*er against the free peoples as a castle with cannon belching flame is over against a cathedral, a I.ouvain library, a picture gallery, a shop, a factory and the home. Civilization In the Balance. Suddenly an unexpected crisis has come. Young soldiers have come for ward to protect the state, but busi ness men are not coming forward with money to equip their soldiers. In this black hour civilization is trem bling in the balance. Whatever our business men do must lie done quick ly. Startling, indeed, is the fact that events are unexpectedly turning for our enemies and against our allies In that great crisis in San Francisco every force seemed to conspire against noble citizens. The earthquake shook down their stores and homes; then tire was kindled in the streets; then the water mains broke, and wlicn the firemen were helpless a high wind strengthened the conflagration. In their despair men cried that the very stars in their courses fought against their beloved eit.v. Dut far more grievous Is the peril of our allies and our country. Witness brave little Bel gium prostrate, with her land left des olate, and yet that first week of hold ing back the German army saved Eu rope. Witness France, chivalrlc, true as steel, whose forts are not granite and iron, but the bodies of her sons now bled white. Witness England, in one week 400,000 tons of shipping de stroyed, with the threat against her food supply, the transportation of men and munitions across the channel, and without ships General llalg s line can not hold. Mobocracy In Russia. More terrible still the breakdown of Russia. The first revolution destroyed autocracy. Now the republic is threat ened by mobocracy. with trampled cornfields and bloody streets. German spies have spread the story among the Russian soldiers that the great estates are being distributed and that the Rus sian soldier must hasten home to se lect a pasture or meadow for his fu ture farm. What cunning subtlety in this scheme that is dissolving the Rus sian army, causing Innumerable deser tions nii*l enabling Von liiiidcnhurg t< withdraw from the Russian front <500. 000 trained Germans! On the morrow's morrow Von Hindenburg will fling a redhot thunderbolt against the French nnd British lines. We cannot wonder that the noble Russian reformers are all but heartbroken. It seems as If the republic was built upon the sand. No farmers are more prosperous than those whose homes look out upon the Alls ?ouri river, but their rich t>lack soil rests ou saud. Once t he treacherous curreut of the Missouri chauged its course, and after long prosi<erlty the farmer awakened to find the flood was cutting away the sand, and. fleeing for his life, from a distance he watched his house and barns fall luto the dark flood. Not otherwise for thoughtful men it feems as If the very foundations of civilization are being undermined, while free institutions are swallowed up by the black flood of militarism and autocracy. The Two Billion Liberty Loan. At the strategic moment the Ameri can people have entered the battle scene. We are 100.000.000 of folk, but we have but one thought and one pur pose -namely, "Government of the peo ple. by the people and for the people" shall not perish from the earth at the hands of Germany. Abraham Lincoln's confidence shall not be betrayed, and his hope for the common people shall not l>e burned to ashes. Germany shall not destroy freedom of the sea. nor be allowed to violate frontier lines, nor subjugate little peoples, nor turn treaties into scraps of paper, nor make northern France to be a wilderness, nor exhibit a kaiser as lord over a president, nor make a pistol more pow erful than the ballot, or a submarine captain to outrank and rule over an Inventor, a merchant or a fanner. To safeguard our country and our allies congress lias instructed Secretary Mc Adoo to put out $2,000.1 >00,000 of bonds called a liberty loan. These bonds are In denominations of $.">0, so that tlie school children, the widow, the work ingman as well as the rich farmer and merchant can buy a bond paying 3% per cent interest, with the pledge that If later bonds bring 0 per cent the in terest upon these- liberty bonds is au tomatically raised to the like level. Money to Arm Our Soldiers. This liberty loan Is to buy equipment for our soldiers. We stop a Hood with dikes; we stay an Invading host with soldiers. The French and British ar mies of 4,000,000 men mean many mil lions of workers producing clothing, shoes, tents, rifles, cartridges, automo biles, trucks, machine guns, cannon, wooden and steel ships to transport food and munitions across the English channel and the Atlantic ocean. It takes six men and women at home to feed and equip one soldier at the front. The English people subscribed loans up to $20,000,000,000, the French peas ants have bought $16,000,000.00) of French bonds, and for the moment the richer people of this great republic are asked to subscribe $2,000,000,000, pay able in Installments. Without this money our brave soldier boys cannot be equipped with their guns, clothing, shoes, tents and food. Germany calls us materialistic. Bernstorff has sneer ed that the American farmer and busi ness man will never buy these bonds. She hopes to trumpet from her house tops our Indifference, our sloth and our shame. But Germany shall be dis appointed. Henry Clay, white haired and aged, exclaimed one day, "I am an old man? quite an old man? but it will be found that I am not too old to vindicate my principles, stand by my friends and defend myself." Bern storff scoffs, saying, "America Is too far away." But we are not so far away but that this repijblic can vindi cate its principles and stand by its allies and defend its homes and ita freedom. Loyalty to Our Fathers Bids Us Sup port the Liberty Loan. Once more recall Edmund Burke s words, "Civilization belongs to the no ble dead, the living and the unborn." At great pri'*e our fathers bought our liberties. Five wars, hundreds upon hundreds of battlefields won us free dom on the land in 1770; freedom on the seas in 1812; the sanctity of fron tier lines in 1840; liberty for the slaves and unity for the nation in 1801; the rights of little lands like Cuba and Bel gium In 1898. The builder of some great castle or noble mansion erects the house and stores the hall and li brary and gallery, but makes it beauti ful and strong, not for himself alone, nor even for his children, but that the sound of laughter, friendship, peace and prosperity may fill the halls in far off centuries. Think you that a great man has no stake in his life work t John Milton lives in the liberty of the press; Shakespeare lives in his Hamlet and Macbeth. Dante still lives his "Far adise," the Pilgrim fathers live in our schools, Washington in our laws, Web ster and Lincoln In our liberties. Is your revered father dead? Or did jour noble mother die? AU good work is memorable and immortal forever. And your fathers have a great stake in our liberties and in free institutions of the England that gave us the seed corn of our social harvests and of France, whose soldier boj's in 1781, under I*a fayette, helped Washington win our liberty.' Our fathers gave vows for us during the Revolution, and during the civil war they made solemn pledges. Therefore not to buy these liberty bonds is for us to be known as the ig noble sons of noble fathers. Self Interest Urges Support, From the viewpoint of self interest and prudence our people should with instant decision boy these bonds and support their government. It is per fectly plain that we must fight Ger many with our allies or later on sin gle handed fight her army and navy. Once that little republic of Athens, protected by three buffer states against the militarism of Macedonia, lying fur ther north, through neglect of her three buffer states was finally herself despoiled and looted. For two and a half years England's battleships have bottled up Germany's dreadnaughts. But for that barrier protecting us our Atlantic coast would long ago have been bombarded. Should the German submarine starve England and make It Impossible to get her troops across to France, should Germany defeat France and Belgium singly tttid obtain Iron 1 and coal atul wheat front Kussia. the time would a?>on come \? beu In our un- ? prepared condition our cities on the j coast of the Atlantic, of the tfitlf and of the I*a<'itic would be attacked. An Indemnity of thirty <-r fifty billions, representing the entire cost of this war. uiay jet be saddled upon our chil dren and our children's children. Influenc* of Liberty Loan Cumulative. 'i I c crisis is imminent. We hate v\;>r. \\> licl'eve in the schooihouse and lot the fort, in the hook and not : f' ? I ?: i' shell, in the home rather than the ttisf :il and In free, happy, indus trious iliscs iind not in Krupp pun' works Hut when the burglar breaks Into your house and polnta a pistol it is useless to recite a text beginning "Blessed are the peacemakers." The ' burglar has dictated the weapon in ad- | vance. When the (ierman army en tered I.ouvain the priests and preach- j ers prayed, the nuns wept, the young plrls beseeelied brutal men for mercy, but all to no avail. You cannot argue with a drunken man nor preach to the lion nor persuade a murderous brigand j who is determined to loot every house and store and factory. The simple fa^'t is that when after Germany captured Austria's coal provinces and the iron provinces of France In 1870 she discovered that war was her best national industry, paying In a single summer's looting expedition from a 1,000 per ceut to 10,000 per cent, where j an iron foundry or a steel plant paid | her 10 per cent. Therefore this has been her motto for fifty years: "Let farmers raise grain; we will grab it. Let Belgian peasants build factories and invent tools; we will strip them. Let France and Kngland achieve wealth and gold; we will loot the storehouse and barn and bank." The Victory Far Off, but Sure. You stay the North sea with a dike, the lion with a hot iron, the soldiers, drunk with greed, lust and avarice for other men's houses and territory, by bayonets and bullets. Forced into this war, we propose to make it the last war that shall curse our earth. Look ing forward to a league of peace, we will include the German after we have i destroyed his autocracy and his mili tarism and freed the German people. We all hope mu(fli from the gradual progress of brotherly love and the in crease of kindness and good will. The world's future is in the schoolhouse, the legislative hall, the library, the halls of art and science, the temple of the home and of religion. We are in this war to say that there is no room left in this world for a czar, A kaiser or a sultan. We believe that every man is in the image of God and there fore should be a citizen king. Already a million young men have come for ward to defend our allies and our re public. Our government needs $2,000, 000,000 to arm, equip and support them. The failure of this loan and of liberty would be the most grievous failure our earth has ever known. Hut this loan will not fail. The American people 1 are patriots, loving their native land, 1 willing to live for it, but if necessary | willing to die for this dear, dear land. | And the victory of this loan and this war, safeguarding democracy, is to be the most glorious victory that has ever blessed the sons of God. "LIBERTY LOAN" FOR HUMANITY AND LIBERTY Dr. Hillis, Pastor and Patriot, Helping Government to Make Plain to the People the Loan's Meaning. Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, is making a tour of the country under the aus pices of t lie American Bankers' asso ciation for the purpose of arousing the interest of the people in the "Liberty loan" of 1917. The immediate purpose of this trip is to give the people of this country in definite form direct infor mation as to the tremendous task this country has undertaken in behalf of humanity and liberty. The flrst in stallment of the "Liberty loan" of 1917 would require a subscription of $1,000 from each of 2,000, (MX) persons. This simple statement makes it imme diately apparent that 1t is only by se curing small subscriptions from a very great number of people that the loan can be made a real success. To secure this wide distribution and to open the ' way for making easier the work of raising the vast sums that will be nec essary in the immediate future for the ; prosecution of the war the American Bankers' association has readjusted its organization of 17, 000 banks so that j every banker in the country may as sist in the effective distribution of the bonds. In conjunction with this great work Dr. Hillis has volunteered to assist. It is well for the people of the country to remember that the business sta bility and the future prosperity of the country depend on the willingness ' with which the money asked for by the government is subscribed by indi vidual citizens. The banks can do a great deal, but if the banks were to absorb the full amount of the loan or even a considerable proportion of it their ability to continue accommoda tion to business would be seriously impaired and prosperity would l?e placed in Jeopardy. As pastor and patriot Dr. Hillis is widely known. His preaching and his writing have commanded equal atten tion. The Way of It. "How could such a silent couple as they are ever make love?" "Easily. She has a speaking coun tenance and his money talks."? Balti more American. "MY COMPANY FIRST," THE RECRUIT'S MOTTO By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.

Hero comes Into play the faculty of attention. Every mail knows his own fallings and the merits of another. Financing the Farmer. Under the new Federal farm loan act, now being put into operation, the farmers of the country will find it much easier to secure money to make needed improvements or for the purchase of live stock, while it will be easier also for landless men to pur chase a farm. It is not merely in the reduction of the interest charges that the farmers will be benefited, but there will be be no commissions, no bonuses or expense for frequent renewals. While American money invested in foreign securities, which have been made so attractive recently, may be advantageous to the investor, the ad vantage stops there. Investment in the bonds issued by the farm land banks brings the additional benefit of increased national prosperity. No ef fort should be spared by the govern ment in educating the public to dou ble benefits derived from investment in farm bonds. The new rural credits system offers an opportunity for investments in such a way that Americans not only invest their money, but keep it at home for the development of agricul ture and industry! One hundred dol lars invested in a farm loan bond not only aids the fai'mer to increase the size and quality of his crops, but en ables him likewise to buy more im proved machinery. The money thus invested will keep on working in this country, aiding manufacturers as well as the farmers. ? Indiana Farmer. Belgium Declines Dismemberment. London, June 5. ? A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from Amster dam says: "According to the Taeglische Rund schau, the recent visit to Brussels of Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the Ger man Imperial Chancellor, to discuss with General Falkenhausen, the Gov ernor of Belgium, a plan for the par tition of Belgium, revealed the abso lute refusal of all the Belgian offi cials to have anything to do with it. The plan, therefore, will almost nec essarily have to be postponed." C roup, Whooping-Cough Relieved. Children's diseases demand prepar edness.

The Kid has gone to the Colors And we don't know what to say; The Kid we have loved and cuddled Stepped out for the Flap to-day. We thought him a child, a baby, With never a care at all, But his country called him man size And the Kid has heard the call. He paused to watch the recruiting, Where, fired by the fife and drum, He bowed his head to Old Glory And thought that it whispered, "Come!" The Kid, not being a slacker, Stood forth with patriot joy To add his name to the roster ? And God, we're proud of the boy! The Kid has gone to the Colors; It seems but a little while Since ho drilled a schoolboy army In a truly martial style. But now he's a man, a soldier, And we lend him a listening ear, For his heart is a heart all loyal, Unscourged by the curse of fear. His dad, when he told him, shuddered, His mother ? God bless her! ? cried; Yet blest with a mother nature, She wept with a mother pride. But he whose old shoulders straight ened, Was grandad ? for memory ran To years when he, too, a youngster, Was changed by the Flag to a man! ? W. M. Hersehell. NEVER NEGLECT A COLO.

It is as cheap as beef and the stewing cuts are the cheapest meats that can be purchased. Cleanly dress ed mutton is just as palatable as any other class of meat and many persons think the flavor is much better, as serts A. M. Patterson, animal special ist of the Kansas Station. A whole or half carcass of lamb can be used by the average family before it will spoil, says Mr. Patterson. Thus if a few sheep are kept on the gen eral farm, a constant supply of fresh meat is at hand. A 70-pound lamb will dress out about 55 per cent, or 38.5 pounds. This amount of meat can be used by the ordinary family before it will spoil. Mutton has not been used to any great extent as food by the Ameri can people. This is due largely to the strong taste and odor caused by im proper methods of killing. Spring lambs will produce cheaper meat than will any other class of meat producing animals. The sheep can be turned out in the pasture, the orch ard, or any small lot in the spring, and they will eat the weeds and grass es that other stock will not touch. Thus they keep the weeds down and at the same time furnish a supply of good fresh meat. ? Indiana Farmer.
