XIII SOLMS GIO KOT LEI IIP And the Nation Will Show That It Stands Behind Them in the Victory Liberty Loan Drive. More than a million of Uncle Sam's boys are "over there" looking after the common good of the world. And they will have to stay upon the job until it is done; until things are right ed again; until order is brought out ef chaos. While they are overseas they must be taken care of adequately; tfcey must be clothed and fed and lodged comfortably. Uncle Sam estimates that it costs $423.27 a year to equip and maintain a soldier in Europe. Part of the proceeds from the com ing Victory Liberty Loan will be de voted to caring for the "doughboys." Part of it will go into the rehabilita tion fund for putting the injured sol diers back upon their feet. Part of it will go for insurance claims. The rest of it will go to meet the hundred and one other demands for this great est of world emergencies since the dawn of civilization. Every mother's son of them did his part, helped insure liberty and justice for the world at large and restore Uncle Sam to his rightful position in thj estimation of the nations of earth. They did their duty fully, these boys who won. They fought to the end. through fire and flood. They never talked about letting up. This is no time for Americans to think of letting up. The nation must stand by its guns, by its records; by Uncle Sam and must make the next loan another big success. FINISH THE JOB Success of the Victory Liberty Loan, the fifth government war loan, will depend largely on the savings ol the people of the nation. To insure its success, we must save NOW-to practice anew the greal .lessons of the war. thrift and economy. Aside from the loss of respect for our selves as a nation, every family will *e unpleasantly affected, if the com' ing loan is not fully subscribed. Uncle Sam's war exchequer is compelled tc spend money to maintain the army ol occupation, to rehabilitate tho wound ed, to bring home the victors and tc ?carry out th? program of reconstruc tion. This money is being borrowed froir 'the banks.of the country, and Uncle .Sam is issuing short-term certificate? of indebtedness in anticipation of the ?oming Liberty Loan and of the fed eral income taxes. If the banks were mot speedily paid back, their resourcei would be gone, and as they could make no loans, credit operations would be hampered and businss stagnate. How about it? Will we finish oui job-that of paying the war bills, ai ?ur immortal heroes finished theirs oi vanquishing the Hun? They were nol quitters, even when called on tc make the supreme sacrifice. Will we .be quitters, when there is all to gait .and nothing to lose? A little saving now is all it will cos! and this saving will mean a strongei .grip on the future.
