The Loans Come Back.

Most OF the vast sums of money
raised by the Liberty loans is spent in
America and while rural districts like
Orleans county do not get much of the
money back directly there is, neverthe-
less, some of the very money loaned the
government being returned to lis for dis
tribution. This paper knows of at least
four concerns in Orleans county that
are filling orders for war materials, re-
ceiving money from the government and
disbursing it to their men and to others
for material. So small streams of the
gold that has been flowing out for a
year or mose are beginning to turn back
to us. In general, business is becoming
adjusted to the war program, inconven
fences are expected, money is not quite
SO frightened and the situation from a
commercial standpoint is easier in many
respects. Business will proceed not as
usual, but proceed, nevertheless, and a
great day of reconstruction and prog
ress and development and growth will
be ushered in when the war closes. Al
most new world will develop before
our eyes and he who would win the
laurels of the new period must be ready.

ting your letter and cigars and have met
some of the boys that were in the old
company. It seemed good to see the |
faces of the good old Barre bows Alex |
was over to-day and spent couple hours /
with me. He is looking good and feeling |
fine, he said He sends his regards to |
YOU all Last night was the first time |
/ had seen him for at least two months. |
So we do get together sometimes.
Glad YOU received my little box for |
it was quite valuable Did you find the |
dollar bill in the box for my little broth !
er, There was nothing that | could
have sent him, so thought the. money |
would look good to him to help fill his ,
little bank. / wish II was so he could |
hit me in the eye for another quarter.
Send me that picture of the group of us,
for want to see bow you all look. 1t
seems as if | had been away for years.
The months are like years to me and if
il wasn't for those Hun Boches we
be here. | hope they are wiped
off the map. 1t looks like big job to do,
but it has got to be done before the
United States boys can go back.
April l0-I got your box this evening
with the good things, and the cake tasted
lust like homes II was very good. 1t
did not take long for it to go, for the
bows fell in Just as if it was their mess.
Now you can send me one just as often
