Uncle Sam’s Eye on Financial Slackers
The article reports a government plan to list Liberty Bond buyers and refusers with yellow cards, allowing secret service access in the Treasury. It notes McAdoo’s guidance that forced investment will not occur, but reasons must be given by those who decline bonds. Congress may enforce fines or imprisonment for traitorous propaganda opposing the Liberty Loan.

A trainload of young porkers from Audrain County will travel to the St Louis market and enter the shambles to raise money for the third liberty bond issue. The pig idea, credit to Mrs. C F Clark of Mexico, gained farmer support as they agreed to load the train with pigs and invest proceeds in bonds.
