M LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
Villas County Boy One of
Chosen Few From Camp
Grant Who Helped In the
Whirlwind Finish of Chi
cago's Liberty Loan Drive.

Villas county boys are forging
ahead. Their doings in training
camp and actual service have
filed many columns in this paper
and each week adds more laurels
to their record.
Below we publish an account
of how one Villas county boy
from somewhere in { a m p

Liberty Loan campaign:
Am dropping you a line from
Chicago which believe would in

I have been one of the few in the
}4lst Regiment detailed to go to Chi
cago and help make the Liberty Loan
a success in the final drive. This, we
men who were detailed, consider a
GREAT honor bestowed upon US. All
our expenses were paid by the Chica-
20 Committee and everybody in Chi
cago treated us in royal fashion. We
were welcome everywhere and in re-
turn we tried to show our apprecia-
ton.
Capt. Howard was in charge of
Liberty Loan detail. There were
eighteen of us and several were as

famous Hull House, in Bomen Hall,
to an audience of several hundred
people. 1t was cosmopolitan group
mostly of Italian, Jewish and Greek
blood The uniform on the stage
made a great hit. This talk was Civ
en- before the exempted men of that
particular district. With me also
spoke Corporal Lintils.
We made strong appeal to them
saving that if they had not been able
to be drafted into the national army,
that they could still do their bit by
buying Liberty Bonds. Also, that if
this country is worth living in, it is
surely a country worth fighting for.
That brought down the house and
after the meeting you should have
seen the two lines in the hall buying
up Liberty Bonds. This meeting of
exempted foreigners netted almost
$1,000.

therefore a fair amount of business

There was much inquiry for SO and

a considerable volume of business was
done. The narrow end OF the market

The government business is being put

good, and mills making these styles
came in for much business.

and Wabash railroads, while the West

Oil control. These roads, together with
Denver & Rio Grande and Western
Pacific, constitute the important links

"Foodstuffs exported were sold IN
February at an advance of GA per
cent above pre-war prices; manu-
featuring materials at ar advance Of
Is per cent; manufactured articles
at an advance of Al per cent.
These figures do not, as a matter
Ct fact, give an accurate measure Of
extra net profits accruing to industry
through higher prices for exports,
because it must be remembered that
costs have also mounted tremen-
dously. As an Offset to that, how
ever, is the fact that the figures are
based on the assumption of the same
volume of export business in the war
period as in peace, whereas there
was actually a great increase, so
that the higher prices-and profits
applied to a much larger quantity OF
goods than would have been exported
under normal conditions.
The increase in profits on foreign
trade, compared with pre-war times,
would, therefore, probably yield dur
ing the current year a tax revenue
as large as the estimate previously
given-that is, $75,OOO,OO0.
If that much could be derived from
taxation of the excess profits on for
eign trade, it is obvious that the
yield from extra profits made in do
nestle trade would be enormously
larger. Professor Il. NJ. Anderson,
ir., of Harvard, recently estimated
that the money volume" of domestic
trade in 1916 was nearly eight times
as much as the money volume" of
| foreign trade. Assuming that esti-

mate TO be correct, and that profits
on domestic trade. were in the same
ratio as those on export business, the
excess profits tax might be made to
Weld between S6O0,OOO,0OO and
900. 900, 900 on a rate of IL per cent
However, export profits have been
relatively larger than profits on do
nestle business, consequently the
above estimate is probably too large
by at least S100000,000.
