GOVERNOR URGES
LIBERTY LOAN
Says State and Not Federal
Officials Should Push It
Along This Spring
The Pennsylvania Committee of
Public Safety has been urged by
Governor Brumbaugh in a letter
sent to George Wharton Pepper,
the chairman, to take the lead in
the work for the third Liberty Loan
in Pennsylvania and not to let the
federal officials do it instead of the
officials of Pennsylvania.
The Governor's letter is as fol
lpws:
"Dear Mr. Pepper:
"I note that Secretary McAdoo
has called for the third Liberty Loan
and that the plans are now forming
to make it a pronounced success. It
occurs to me that it is a curious
comment upon our loyalty and our
understanding of democracy if we
need at any point the urging of Mr.
McAdoo in sesuring the funds for
this war. Our accredited repre
sentatives in Washington decreed
this war and ordered the selling of

bonds to meet its cost. It is the
people's war. They have spoken in
the legal way. They should assume
completely the obligations of their
own at. The people are the Gov
ernment. The people ought to sup
port their own act and put in the
hands of their own agents all nec
essary funds to win the war. I sin
cerely hope our people will under
stand that it is their duty to tender
to Secretary McAdoo this loan in
full. We ought not to permit him
to ask us for it. We have no jus
tification if we must be importuned
by the federal authorities to give
the funds which are essential to
their doing the duty we have laid
upon them. if we lag and wa*i and
delay and in any way fail to take the
initiative in this we set a sorry ex
ample to the world of efficient de
mocracy.
"I am, therefore, constrained to
ask the Committee of Public Safety
to take this service in hand and ten
der to our federal officials gladly
our full quota of the loan and not
have the federal officials lead in the
campaign for this money. It is c\ur
duty. When we give our •money at
a fair interest we are not giving
much. I think of the boys that are
giving their all, of the fathers that
are sending splendfd sons, of the
blessed mothers that are giving
their heart's blood and love, of the
wives that are surrendering their
support and the provider of their
children. I think of the ideals of
this republic which our fathers have
set, and I should feel that we had
done only a reasonable service in
voluntarily giving to the Govern
ment the full sum required. If you
are like-minded, and I am confident
that you are, will you please lay this
clearly and convincingly before all
our citizens through the appropriate
channels?
"Very truly yours,
"M. G. BRUMBAUGH.
"Hon. George Wharton Pepper,
Chairman, Committee of Public
Safety, Philadelphia, Pa."

Washing; ton, March 29. E. E.
Dixon, of Cochranville, Pa., is a real
patriot and has won a letter of ap
preciation from the Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr. Dixon planted a war
graden last year and made a profit of
sl2 on the venture. He pondered
most of the winter as to what he
should do with the money, and
tinally sent it to the Treasury De
partment as a contribution toward
"winning the war." Secretary Mc-
Adoo directed that the money be in
vested in thrift stamps, which he has
sent to Mr. Dixon with this letter:
"My Dear Mr. Dixon—l have your
letter of the 21st of March, enclosing
your check for sl2, representing
your profit on your war garden,
which you desire to donate to the
government for the purposes of the
war. I was deeply impressed by this
double evidence of your patriotism,
and congratulate you on your loyal
spirit.
"Since the government, outside ofj
taxation measures, is only asking the!
people to loan their money to it, 1 I
am directing that the Treasurer of
the United States send you sl2 worth
of thrift stamps, which you may
convert into war savings stamps and
ilius have an excellent investment, at
the same time helping yqur govern-1
ment. j
"I hope your example will bo fol-i
lowed by others."

BABY GRAND PIANO
THE GRAND PIANO is the ultimate piano. It is the "can't-go-beyond" of
musical instruments. It is the unanimous choice of all musicians, of all
piano men, both dealers and manufacturers alike. There isn't a person in
the land who has a home in which he is interested hut who, ultimately, wants a
Babv Grand installed within it. But until the advent of this new and latest model
of The Bramhach Co., this has been impossible for the reason that Grands were of
such large size that they could not be accommodated in the average size room.
Besides this, their cost has been prohibitive.
But it remained for The Bramhach Co., an old and distinguished firm of piano
builders, of New York City, to build a Grand piano that would take up no more
floor space than an upright piano, and in such numbers that it could be sold at a
price within the reach of everyone. This beautiful little instrument, when placed
in a corner of your room, takes up no more space than an upright piano. Its
beauty as a piece of furniture and its excellence as a musical instrument is simply
not to be compared with any other form of piano.
