Show HEBER J. GRANT URGES PEOPLE TO SUBSCRIBE TO LOAN NEXT LIBERTY DRIVE MAY RE FIRST 1 1XAXCIAL TEST OF AMERICAN PEOPLE. "It will be expected 'that every American subscribe his honest proportion pro-portion of the third Liberty loan, and those who have money and do not support the government will find that there will be other ways to make them do their duty," is the warning sent out by Ileber J. Grant, chairman chair-man of the Utah Liberty loan state central committee, in an appeal call-i call-i lng attention to the next rssue, which will be announced within thirty or ! sixty days. "The third loan must be a success, suc-cess, and, while it may ue the first financial test of the American people, the loan must succeed, and the government gov-ernment looks to every man, woman and child in Utah to do their duty," Mr. Grant says. "From present indications, in-dications, the people will be asked to loan the government more than In the past, and you are therefore asked to make such arrangements as you find necessary so that you can give this loan financial support. "Every red-blooded American wants to win the war. That is our aim and our life at this time. This cannot be done without money, and the only source from which the Government Gov-ernment can obtain money is from the people ,which it protects. It will undoubtedly be more difficult for the people of this state to subscribe sub-scribe to the third Loan than it has been in the former two, but it is a duty that must be performed. Utah's allotment must be raised. The Government Gov-ernment must have money to prosecute prose-cute the war. There is no American who can consistently fail to answer this call. After all, subscribing for first-class Government securities is asking but little compared with the sacrifice of those who go to the trenches. "Your boy and your friend's boy who go off to the' tront can earn at least $65.00 per month at home. They are paid only $30.00 a month by the Government so they are really losing $35.00 a month financially. The man who subscribes $21,000.00 worth of bonds loses $420.00 interest inter-est while the boy loses $420.00 per year, so that the man who subscribes $21,000.00 worth of bonds is doing no more financially than the boy who goes away to fight, and besides this the boy offers his life." |
