WHY ONE MORE
LOAN IS NEEDED
It Will Settle Nation's War
Debts and Will Care for
Sick and Wounded.
Once in a wbile some one asks:
"What's the need of another Liberty
Loan now that the war is over?"
Revenue from taxes will not be sufficient
to pay all the bills, so the
people will be called upon to provide
the money by subscribing to govern
ment bonds. This money is going to
Pay off the army of producers at home
?the farmers, merchants, manufacturers
and others.
America had just begun to fight
when the Hun decided it was time to
quit. Allied leaders expected the war
to last another year and the United
8tates government was turning out
ships, arms, ammunition and food to
overwhelm Germany in one big
drive.
Treasury officials have revealed
that in 1919 America would have had
a tank at the front for every seventyfive
feet of line. We would have had
ten tons of mustard gas ready for
shipment for every ton Germany
eoqld produce. Thousands of batteries
of guns would have been in action
for every one America had in 1918.
Everything else was being produced
In proportion.
This gigantie preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
thousands of lives. Victory Liberty
Bonds will pay for this work which
had been contracted for and was being
delivered when the armistice was
ligned.
There are other purposes for which
money is need. Part of our army of
1,000.000 men mast be kept in Europe
intil the peace treaty is signed,
rhese soldiers must be fed. clothed
ind otherwise maintained. Then they
must be brought home.
The sick and wounded must be carsd
for in hospitals. The army must
!>e demobilised. There are thousands
>f maimed soldiers, heroes of the
preat war, who must be taught selfinpporting
trades and given an oppor:unity
to earn their living.
This reconstruction work at home
nust be carried on. The job must be
Inished. The American people who
tarnished the money to win the war
nust supply it also to bring the union
back to a peace basis.

More than ever before the American
armer finds himself in the position ,
if comfort and prosperity which in
lis just due. Lean years are for him
10 longer. Last year the average of
arm earnings broke all records. Six '
nillion farms in 1918 produced crops
vorth $12,280,000,000.
This year it is estimated that a :
Teater wheat acreage than ever will 1

SOLDIER'S LETTERS
The following letter from Sergt.
David M. Coker was sent us by J.
Ralph McElveen of the Hebron community
for publication:
Franco, January 27. ia.9.
HoiW old sport:I
will answer yo ?r letter which I
r<<eived this <oon. Sure was
gla?' to hear from you to?>. You said
yo-i hoped I w is well and ?rjoying
Well, I am a'i O. K , except a
bad cold, and as for enjoying myself,
I should say I am for you know that
this is some place to enjoy ones self,
but then I guess after all you don't
know much about this place over
here, for as well as I remember you
said it had been some time since you
had been here. I guess there has
been a lot of improvements made
since you were here, anyhow, I guess
I might as well tell you something
about the place. I do not know which
you had rather hear about, this place
or the places I have been so I will
begin at the commencing of our trip
to F ranee.
Well, we landed one day late in
the afternoon at Ihe bottom of aj
great big*" thing which they call aj
hill over here, we would call it a
mountain back home, but never mind
about that, we were anxious to know
what was on the top of that hill, so
...A A ie u..?
we siarxea oui auuuu vi **r Hundred
of us, and what do you think
we found up there? We found a
whole lot of tents, and we were so
well pleased that we stayed there all
night. The next day we started out
to find a railroad for we had heard
that there were railroads over here.
Late in the afternoon we found one
with a long string of Pullman cars
with side doors about 8X14 feet sitting
on the track with an engine
fastened to them so we piled in,
about forty of us to the car. After
two nights and one days traveling,
we decided we had rather walk and
got off and after going down the
road a little ways we came to a
large hotel where there were some
soldiers just leaving. Near by was a
large wheat field with a river running
through it, which made an excellent
bath house so we decided to
go in, take a bath and have breakfast.
Well, after we had taken a
bath and had breakfast of canned
beef and bread, we started out again
and after walking about two hours
we came to a large town of about
seventy five inhabitants and a lot of
hotels which had formerly been oc-1
cupied bv horses, cows, hogs, rabbits,
chickens and such like.
After we had stayed here about 4
weeks we began to grow a little
tired of the city, so we decided to
leave one Sunday afternoon. We got1
up all of our belongings and packedi
them on our backs and started out. |
After we had traveled about five
hours we came to a small town with'
a 'ot more of the same kind of hotels
we had just left, after staying here
all night we concluded we did notj
lily? the town at all, so we moved on !
and about one o'clock in the after-:
noon we came to another town, but j
all of the hotels there were already
full of soldiers. We passed on
through, but just as we got through
an the other side we saw another
big hotel with a green floor and a
barbedwire fence for the walls.You
can imagine what kind of a hotel
' 1 1.?
tnis was. Tor it was on lilt' uanivs vi
another river like the first one.
It was a rather interesting place,1
so we decided to stop and take dinner.
While we were here we heard that
a train was coming through that
night about midnight so we waited
for it. Well, about 1:30 here came
the train; we all piled on and
in a few minutes we were off again
and after traveling the rest of the.
night and all of the next day until
about 8 o'clock in the evening we
were getting kind of tired and i
sleepy. We found ourselves in another
town and after looking around
for about one hour we found a large
_ I
building with a good many cois in
it. Well, we piled in, and in a few
minutes we were off in "dreamland".
I
After we had stayed here a few,
days we decided to do some more
traveling. We had not gone very far;
when we saw another town, so we
began to look for a place to stay all i
night. We soon found some more
hotels and fell in for the night. We
liked the place and stayed there a
few days.
The first day we were here we saw
a. large bird come flying over which
seemed to be about five miles high.
Some one on the other side of the
mountains began to shoot at it. Some
one got a pair of field glasses and
pretty soon we found out what it
was. It was an Aeroplane and some
one was shooting at it, so we decided
we were getting very close to where
the war was going on.
We decided we had better move on
to the next place so one evening
about 5 o'clock we started out. That
night after we had walked about 15
miles it began to rain so we began
to look for a place to stay all night.
About 1:30 in the morning we
1
V
came to another town full of oar
favorite hotels. We were tired and
wet so we tumbled into our beds and
were soon asleep.
We liked this place so well that we
stayed here over a week. We could
hear a lot of shooting just over the
hill, and we decided there was trouj
ble over there, so one afternoon
about 6 o'clock we thought we would
walk over there and see. Talk about
trouble! I guess there must have
been a lot of it over there, for it was
Continued on galley 3
Galley No 3
14 days and nights before we got a /
chance to leave. When we did get a
chance to leave we left right now.
In a day or two we came to an old
cotton mill. It looked like a very
good place to stay so we stayed all
r.ight.
Tne next day we found we had
hit a pretty good town, the best we
had struck yet, we stayed here
three or four weeks, then we got
tired of this place, and started walking
again. We walked about 20 milesam:
came to a railroad. Some one
told me there was a train coming
that way after awhile, so wo waited
and about 5 o'clock the next morning
it came along, so we got on and was
soon on our way again.

V<Kniora OO 101Q
Dear Mr. Tolley:"We
are now getting, along fairly
well again. A week or so ago our
schedule was slightly changed by
prefixing one hour, which, of course,
somewhat went against the'grain
with the "sons of liberty"?better
known as "the sons of rest" in civil
life?and the fact that, some good
influence has had the effect of re-,
moving the better part of the affix
and prefix, we are again settled and
are getting along about as well as *
could be expected, infact, much better
than I thought probable from my
first impression of France. I don't
mean to convey the idea that we
have gotten things arranged here
just like we had them in our homes,
or even like the camps in the States,
still we are faring well compared
to what we did when we first landed
irt France, and what fell to our lot
while on the front.
Most of the fellows in the line
companies had a harder time of ito11
the front than we of the intelligence
sections, though we were on duty 24
hours a day there the same as they.
This does not mean that we were
up and going all this time, as we
were arranged in reliefs and took
turns at our posts. The part I was
playing on the last front was to stay
at some good point of observation
behind out? lines and find out all that
T AAII 1A A U^iif f kii AHAtnir onthnnf
1 WUIU auvuw WtlU CliCIUJ r* auivm?
letting them find oat that I had
learned anything. The first part?
that of getting information of the
enemy, I do not konw that I did so
well; but the second part was carried
out excellently, for a German
mind reader could never have told'
that I had found out anything concerning
their plans or operations, for:
I had not. I don't think any of the
other fellows of our detail found out
very much more than I, though there
have been some awful tales manufactured
concerning what was found
out about the boche. Some of our
fellows really found out quite a bit
about the boche, but I am of the
opinion that the boys who got good
dope on the boche were the guys
wno uunnt'u <x unman uiuaviiu auu
went into their lines and conveyed
the information to our lines.
Of course these fellows , were not
chosen from the rank and file, and
it did not fall to my lot to be associated
with them. I imagine that is
quite fascinating work, but seems
most too dangerous for me.
Well, unless the bolshevists (?)
cause us some trouble, I guess our
long hikes and sleeping in horse
stables are about over, and some
time between now and another new
year's Johnnie (or Pete) will come
marching home, thanking his star
that his sojourn in France was not
so prolonged as it might have been.
As ever,
"Pete".
