It has two churches and a hotol and there is the "corner" where the men gather after supper to consider politics and "the state of the Union." Its population is about 2,000. When war was declared it gave its sons with a glad heart, and they marched away bravely-many with a sob in the throat, perhaps, but with a splendid vision guiding their feet. From the training camp these boys went to France and were moved up into the battle line. The Hun was making a desperate effort to destroy eivilization In a bloody drive on Paris. Then The richest man In the village met the hotel barber and they gripped hands In silence. Their two sons lay dead In the Argonne. The village butcher boy-red-hend ed and Irish-smiled for the last time. ?Ie died fighting that freedom might not rer!t. The town's Boau Brum mel-he had never amounted to much-won the Croix de Guerre-but lost both eyes. Gas claimed the son of the widow who lived in the little greeni (Ottage. At first she could not speak when she received the brief telegram. Thnn -"John was nil I had. I hoped he would conme hack. If T had a wo sons I iwould give them too." That was all. Buit America as a whole never felt the real hand of war--not as Prance felt it-nor as En;;land--nor oven as Can ada. Why? Because our dollars stopped the war. They made p)ossible those tre nmondous preparations for a long war that i~sualted in a short war. Never was such a stupendous aso'mblage of munitions. Giermany wilt'd.

Tho war is over. Victory is ours. America escaped the frightful burden of debt which would have been ours if the war had lasted two years long er. We still have those dollars in our pockets. And the boys are coming homa. But the debts the government did contract-the debts that won the war -must be paid. They will be paid. America has pledged its faith, and the faith of America has never been questioned. We are now asked to lend the gov ernment some of those unpaid dollars we still have in our pockets, and, to secure the loan, Victory Liberty Bonds will be issued-the safest in the world. Then let our hearts-and our purses -say how thankful we are that, per. haps, half a million American boys were saved. HE HAD THE GRIT THAT WON THE WAR Carter Glass, secretary of the 'ireas' uiry, copied the following note, among others, from the note book of a Red Cross nurso when ho was in F'rance: "One b)oy I shall always remember. Ills right shoulder was lpractieally shot away and he had a hig wound in his back and one in his loft eye. But ho sat straight up and wouldn't let anybody help him. ie dlidn't say a word while they pulled off the tight elingIng gauze from the red, rawv, wet flesh that quivered in spite of him. When the first wound was finished all he said was: "Do you think I could rest a niinnIte, Doc, before you don the seco)nd one?" "Red. rav., wet flesh" --Amerleam flesh. It was hot yellow.
