Im: m i 1*1 ua have that neat job of print- 1 : I /; ;;; ? ^ v ? npHE United States has ten billion dollars of unpaid war bills that must be paid if the nation is to maintain iff credit standing before the world. And it must get the m^ney with which to pay them from pa ? in cither loans or taxes. . There's only one choice ? to oyer subscribe the Victory Liberty Loan now, or to pay even higher taxes lhtcr on. And anybody would rather subscribe to? a Victory Loan than pay a tax. But granting that you would rather pay taxes, the matter doesn't end there. The consequences of such a choice would affect the prosperity pf this country ? your individual prosperity-? for years to come. Figure It Out for Yourself 'A' . , ; ???? ? . | J'.'.-., ,, ~ ^ The Government has already had to borrow from the l>anks a large part of the money with which it is meeting current bills If we don't raise the money now to pay off those borrowings by oversubscribing the Victory Liberty Loan, the banks in turn cannot lend to American merchants, manufacturers and exporters the money needed for the expansion of American business and the payment of good wages. .. ... : _ Each bank has only so much money to lend. It can't ? Jetfd Tt to business. men and to the Government at tilt tame time. V ' ? ?? The business men MUST have bank loans in order to ?tart industry humming, pay good wages, and bring about the period of prosperity we arc all looking forward to. THE VICTORY LOAN MEANS B&SfNESS^new enterprises started, factories enlarged, business expan sion, export trade secured, plenty of employment and good wages. TAXES MEAN TIGHT MONEY, business curtailed, credits cut down, building plans held up, export oppor tunities Iostrfactories shut down, and an ever-increasing army of unemployed. ? " There's no question of patriotism or sentiment in volved in that ? just hard-headed business sense It is true, we want to "finish up the job." We wa^nt to see i hat every last one of the boys who fought or prepared to fight for us is brought home, ijie wounded cared for, good jobs found for all. We want to ^go^over the top in (he Victory Liberty Loan, as we have each time the Government ha$ called on us. We want to do all these things BECAUSE WE ARH AMERICANS It just happens, in the matter of the Victory Loan *?. Taxes, that it is also to our best interest to do so. Victory Liberty Loan Committee ?

The last notation I made was on a Friday, the 18tb, and, while not of a superstitious nature, a strange feeling permeated my soul as I penned the fol lowing: ** 'For s wedding present I believe Mary Jane's pa will give her at least $100,000 in cash or collateral.
