and why we ars at War.
For the purpose of
equipping with arms, clothing
nod food our gallant soldiers
who have been called to the
field;
maintaining our Navy and oar
valiant tars upon the iiigh
seas;
Providing the necessary
means to pay the wages of
our soldiers and sailors and,
if the bill now pending in th-
Con . ress passes, the monthly
allowances for the supporl of
their dependant families and
to supply them with 4ife in
surance; constructing a great fleet of
merchani vessels lo maint.tiu
the lie of communication
with our. brave troops in
France, and to keep our
commerce afloat upon .. tn
hiifh selis in defiance of the
German Kaiser and his sub-
marines;
. creatinga great fleet of aero
planes whicn will give com
plete supremacy in the air to
the United States and th
brave nations fighting with
us against the German mili
tary menace; and for other
necessary war purposes.
The Congress of the United
States has authorized the Sec
retary Of the Treasury t ) s al 1
the American pi ple bond.; of
the United States bearing
four per cent interest, with
va'ua le tax exemptions, and
convertible under certain con
ditions into other issues of
United i States bonds that may
be authorized by the Cone;rr.ss
The official circular, of the
Treasury Department j,ives
full details.
There is now offered to the
. American people a new isue
of $3,000,000,000 of bonds to
be known as the Second Libr
erty Loan. They will b is
sued in such denominations
and upon such terms .that
every patriotic citizen will
have an opportunity to a.isist
the Government by lending
5
his money upon the
of a United States
ment bond.
It is essential to the
of the war and to the
security
Govern-
success
su: port
of our srallant troops that
these loans shall not only be
subscribed, but oversubscrib
erT, No one is asked to give
or donate his money to the
Government: but every or a is
to lend his money to the Go em
inent; The loans will be repaid
in full with interest at the rate
of four per cent per annum A
Government bond is the safest
investment in the world: it is as
good as currency and yet better,
because the investment com
pares with it for safety, ready
convertibility into in any bank
in the United States.
People by thousands ask the
treasury constantly now they
can help the Government in this
war. Through the purchase of
Liberty Bonds every one can
help. No more patriotic duty
can be performed by those who
cannot actually fight upoii the
field of battle than tofurnih the
Government witn tne nrcces-
sary money to enable it to give
our brave soldiers and sailors
all that they require to make
them strong for the fighi and
capable of wincing a swift vie-
tory over our enemy.

Paciical Courses in Agriculture For Farmers.
Dean C B v ilihtms says that
active arrangements are being
made to putinfinalshape the short
c iursesin asrricuit-.-.ro for farm
ers. that are to start on October
.30 at the State College, Raliegh,
and continue for sixteen weeks.
These corr&es havr been especi
ally designed to gh-e tiiose who
come to the Johege for this
short practical instruction, infor
mation along different lines of
farming practiced in the State
that may be put into use on the
home farm by those who come.
The early farming in North
Carolina under pioneer condi
tions of society was a compara
tively simple operation, but in
this day and time as farming
has become more complex and
commercial enterprise and when
crop- arp raised on a large scale
for competition in world markets
the well informed and alert farm
er, oiher things beiug equal, is
the one who is going to make the
most out of his farming opera
tions. The courses, as arranged
will no doubt greatly aid those
taking them to become more
modern and businesslike in
their farming operations than
:ney could otherwise possibly
have been,

our mirier and our factories may
be carried into the harbors of
every friendly nation in the
world. Our welfare and pros
perity as a people depend upon
cur right of peaceful intercourse
wfth all nations" of the earth.
To abandon thee rights by
withdrawing our ships and com
merce from the seas upon the
order of a military despot in
Europe would destroy prosperi
ty and bring disaster and humil
iation upon the Americau people.
We fight to protect our citi
zens against assassination and
murder upon the high seas
while in the peaceful exercise of
those rights demanded by inter
national law and every instinct
and dictate of humanity.
We tight to preserve our, dem
ocratic institutions and our sov
ereignty as a nation against the
menace of a powerful and ruth
less military autocracy headed
by the German Kaiser, whose
ambition is to dominate the
world.
We tight also for the noble
ideal of universal democracy and
liberty, the right oi the smallest
and weakest nations equally
with the most powerful to live
and govern themselves accord
ing to the will of their own peo
ple. We fight for peace, for that
lasting peace which agonized
and tortured humanity craves
and which not the sword nor
the bayonet of a military despot
but the supremacy of vindicated
right alone can restore to a dis
tracted world.
To secure these ends I appeal
to every man and woman who re
sides upon the soil of free Amer
ica and enjoys the blesings of
her priceless institutions to join
the League oi Patriots by pur

dent Wilson.
New York, Qct 14. Governor
Whitman Republican, paid a
stirring tribute to President Wil
son in a patriotic address to the
con.greg'atton of St Paul's Meth
od th Episcopal 'Churcti.
''As we contemplate the solii
this ligure who is ruling over
the destinies of our hundred mil
lion people," the governor said
;anc' consider th tremendous
task he has before him, we are
no longer democrats, or republi-q
cans, or progressives, but Amer
icans all."
What certain persons termed
"apathy" in the attitude of the
American people toward the war,
he asserted in reality was "our
national poise "
"Today the United States
leads the whole world in muster
ing materials and in the sweep
of the human mind," he added.
'The European nations had the!
false impression that America is
the land of the dollar arid
thought the Yankees wouldn't
fight. All history gives the lie
to these slanders Our dollars
have carried food to the hungry,
help to the wouuded; and health
to the sick. Peace is our devo
tion. but not our obsession."
