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.

Good Yield on Sod Land.

the University of Le$ds.
The land had been under grass for
at least 50 years, when last year It
was divided into plots and planted
with potatoes by Mr. Bedford, former
lord mayor of the city, and some of
his friends. The crop aggregated
three tons sixteen ? hundredweight, i
which Is at the rate of 11.4 per acre, as .
compared with 6.7 tons per a#cre, which \
