money to produce. To provide these
things is the opportunity and duty of
those who do not offer their lives.
Winning this war is a matter of
money. When you buy a Liberty
Bond it means money for the United
States treasury. During the coming
year, this nation must raise 1924, 0O0,-
100000. About SIG, 900, 900, 900 of this
must be raised by loans and $8,000,-
0OO,0 by taxation. If we do not raise
this money, the United States treas
ury will have failed. When the
United States treasury fails, the war
Is lost. If the war is lost, democracy
is lost-the world is lost.
Thus we get some idea Of what
each individual must do. He must
save, do without luxuries, he must get
along with what he has rather than
buy things that are not absolutely nee
essary. He must do those things only
which are Of productive value. He
must simplify and cheaper his diet.
In short, he must in every possible
way use for his own comfort as little
Of the nations labor, time, and eff
cheney as possible. He must save
every cent of money possible and loan
it to the Government. In this way
only can a citizen live up to his patri-
otto duty and do his part towards win
ming and ending the a

Dumb with a%mazement, blind with

her.

Norine's color had returned. She
stood over the hammock, looking down
mistily. Don't you need me, want me

Esteban turned his tired eyes away,
fearing to betray in them his utter
wr%etchedness. "You have done all there

AGAIN In CHARGE,

Many people insist that the Ninth
District is the best organized Of any
group OF states. Results seem to prove
1t. The active workers in the Third
Liberty Loan campaign numbered over
thirty thousand out Of a little more
than S million people.
The men responsible to Washington.
the officers of the Northwest's finan-
cial army, are not taking the credit.
They only directed this great terri
tory's patriotic energies.
There have to be officers, however.
n everyone should know who they
are. The men and women who led to-
victory in the Third Loan will be in
charge during the Fourth campaign,
September 28th to October 3rd. =.

Esteban poised upon his elbow, his
face was a study. "What have you ar.
ranged?" he managed to inquire.
"Sh-h!" Norine laid q finger upon
his lips. "The guest of the republic is
to be married today"
"Norine! Oh, my dear quavered
the sick man.. II can't let you do this
mad thing. Think! I'm ready for the
grave"
"This will make you we'll. We're go
ing away when the very next expedi-
ton arrives"
II haven't the strength to refuse"
ESteban murmured. "And vet, how
can I leave Cuba? What right have I
to accept happiness and leave Rosa"
This was a subject which Norine
dreaded, a question to which she knew
no answer. She was not in a mood to
discuss it, and made no attempt to do
so. Instead, she laid the invalid upon
his pillow, saying:
"Leslie is waiting to wish you joy
and a quick recovery. May I ask him
in?"
She stepped to the door, only to be-
hold her late companion making off
down the village street in great haste
and evident excitement. Approaching
between the drunken rows Of grass
huts was a little knot Of people. Even
as Norine watched it grew into a con-
siderable crowd, for men and women
and children came hurrying from. their
tasks. There were three figures in the
lead, a nan and two boys, and they
walked slowly, ploddingly, as if weary
from a long march.
"Esteban!" NGrine cried in a voice
she scarcely recognized. She retreated
into the doorway with one hand upon
her leaping heart. "Esteban! Look

Isn't It Great?

The Northwest's crops are satisfac-
tory. The money returns from them
will be big. The Ninth District will
do It's full share towards feeding the
armies of freedom and then will turn

Surely this is a fine part of a wonder

In the Champagne more than 49,

The new attack reported in the

lowing the elimination OF the Marne
