In a statement by George Eastman,

phasis is laid on the fact that the sue

represent a realization of the great

Only the miser seeks money for itself.
Does not h same principle apply to

in The world by many times over, and
we have been accused by less success
full nations of being money-makers To
h exclusion of some of the higher
things of life, but the time has come
for us to prove that that charge was
without foundation, that we have
sought money simply for the higher
things it would buy and not simply
for h sake of amassing money.

he is about to shoot Pearl, is shot by
Gresham. AS he is diving, this man
says he was hired to kill Pearl. He is

the finest thing a nation ever had a
chance to do with its money. And the
finest thing about the way we are
finding the money for this realization
of IA great ideal is the perfect demo-
cracy, the perfect willingness behind
the contribution of the nations money.
1t is not being wrung from people by
an oppressive government. Through
the Liberty Loans it is being volunta-
rily dedicated to the purposes and the
needs of the nation. The Third Lib
erty Loan will be great in the number
of dollars by which it will be counted.
But it will be greater still as a token
of the unselfish determination of the
