Saturday, October 12, yvill be lib-
erty Day. It has been so proclaimed
by ('resident Woodrow Wilson. It Is
fitting that tho president should hav
chosen this day to stimulate a sonor-
ous response to the fourth Liberty
Loan, for it is the l'our hundred and
twenty-sixth, anniversary of the dis-
covery of America. Among other
things the president says: "Every day
the great principles for which we are
fighting take fresh bold upon our
thought and purpose and make it
clearer what the end must be and
what wo must' do to achieve it. Wo
now know more certainly than we
ever knew before why free men
brought the great, nation and govern-
ment we lovo Into existence, because
it grows clearer and clearer what
supreme service It is to bo America's
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Am-
erica must therefore have for us la
this fateful year a peculiar and thrill-
ing significance. We should make it a
day or ardent rodedication to the
ideals upon which our government is
1 founded and by which our present
heroic tasks are Inspired." The pres-
ident suggests that commemorative
addresses, pageants, harvest home
'festivals, or other demonstrations bo
arranged for In ovory neighborhood.
