SAN FRANCISCO, March 9—Prizes
for advertising copy to be used in con
nection with the advertising of the
third Liberty loan have been announc
ed by the Liberty loan general pub
licity committee. Eight full page ad
vertisments for newspapers are want
ed and $25 will be given the author of
each of the eight ads accepted.
The contest is limited to the seven
states of the Twelfth federal reserve
district.
The generic ideas laid down by the
committee, and to which each ad
vertisement should conform follow:
1. German Frightfulness—shown in
symbolic or specific aspect—and the
need of wiping it out for all time.
Without the money to do it we might
:us well accept German barbarity and
the new and permanent standard of
existence.
2. A Liberty Loan Subscription—is
one of the real tests to show the pa
triotism of foreign-born American citi
zens—particularly the German-Ameri
tan. A citizen is either a patriot or a
traitor. Vie must subscribe to prove
bis status.
3. Germany Levying Tribute.— Here,
you may assume the kaiser satanicallv 1
Triumphant making us pay his war,
costs—the United States at the mercy!
of the destructive and maleficent
German ideas of conquest and subju-!
nation It is needless to say that this
must not be. Not a cent for tribute— j
billions for the extermination of kai
serism with its shadow over American
Liberty.
4. Money for Munitions, Food and.
Equipment.— Our men and our allies i
must have equipment and food to sus- r
tain them and munitions to fight with, I
The Liberty loan is a premium paid |'
for decency and patriotism by a gov- j
eminent that allows its citizens the
most secure of investments.
5. Money tor Ships.— What boots
it if we raise a million men. produce
’millions of tons of ammunition and
millions of tons of food if we haven’t
the ships to transport them to the seat
•of war! Before we can get our ships
we must have the money to build
,them.
6. Two Kinds of Giving.— A Liberty
loan does not even take toll from the
miser—the man whose only God is
money. It gives him in return more I
than money—-the worth of his money |
with the greatest of all security. Con-i
trast this with the mother or father
who cheerfully and willingly give their |
sons to fight the great battle for world-!
wide peace.
7. Stars of Service.— There is a .
Liberty loan service flag in the heart ,
of everyone who owns a Liberty bond.
Every additional Liberty bond you buy
is an additional star of service indi
cating to your country and fellowmen
that you too are taking a part in this
fight for protection of the home, and
your country.
8. An Enduring Peace. America
must stand for an enduring peace and
self respect. We must realize that
we are a nation facing the sun with
the right to live in lasting peace and
honor. The whole civilized world
voices our opinion. If we are to raise
•cur heads high we must be heart and
^oul in the great cause. Money is
y.eeded to do the things that will en
able our men and our allies to make '
.tbe fight for everlasting peace.

THRIFT STAMP IS SYMBOL
OF Filin IN GOVERNMENT
LOS ANGELES, March 9—The
Thrift stamp and its relation to vic
tory in the war have displaced in
part the usual display and bulletin ad
vertising of some of the local business
firms, which have given their space to
help the campaign. Recently, a local
business house distributed several
thousand blotters, the printed matter
adorning them being entirely devoted
to advancing the Thrift movement.
“This blotter,” said the article, "is
devoted to another aspect of our busi
ness which we usually refrain from
mentioning. We refer to our partner
ship with Uncle Sam. No, not war
contracts. Just a plain partnership
in which we all share—our duty to
help put the flag over the top.
“Because we like our institutions
and our freedom, we want to keep
them from autocratic interference.
We know of no better way to accom
plish this, if we can't fight the bat
tles, than to furnish the ammunition.
“You know how small change leaks
cut of your pocket. You don't know
where it goes, but it goes. It is not
difficult to divert a little of the stream
into Thrift Stamps.
“This is a rich and powerful nation,
yet, to date, it has not given one-tenth
as much in proportion to its popula
tion as have nations which are small
er, weaker, and less prosperous. The
success of the war is our business—
md we are not accustomed to falling
in an undertaking to which we set our
lives and our fortunes.”
Then the man who wrote the blot
ter, and who showed real suprise
when asked for permission to quote
lis words, idealized the thrift stamp
ts follows:
“I am a symbol of faith.
“I represent the democracy of the
east and greatest.
"I am the will of man against the
lominion of autocrats.
“I am the ammunition of a just
•ause.
“I am the widow’s mite.
“I represent the eager labor of lit
le children.
“I am the staunch, unfailing bulwark
>f the nation.
“I stand for the glory of the flag.
“I speak the love of my country.
“I am economy.
“-self respect.
“-patriotism.
“I am the Thrift Stamp.”

SEMITE PIKES (IF FlSP
IN PACIFIC N01TSBT
A Seattle dispatch says that the
reduction of fresh fish prices in this
state has been determined upon by the
state food administrator, Charles lieb
bard, who has worked out a compre
hensive plan for the proposed reduc
tion, according to an announcement
made there. Mr. Hebbard was
co-operated with in this labor by A C.
Dunn, chairman of the fresh fish divi
sion of the United States food admin
istration; wholesalers, fishing vessel
owners, fishermen and retail dealers
in a two-day conference which has just
closed.
The reduction will he accomplish
ed mainly by fixing an arbitrary
wholesale price and the elimination
of all chances for speculation. The
fishermen will get no more than a
reasonable profit on their time and
labor.
The plan has been thoroughly
worked out and is ready to be put
into operation as soon as it has been
approved by the national food admin
istration, to which it has been forward
ed. There is no doubt that it will be
a p proved.
