IN THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY
Brave Men Who Fought for the Union
Gladly Made the SuperIa-
tive Sacrifice.

We have the priceless privilege Of
decorating the graves Of some Of the
worlds greatest heroes. We must re-
member that herOism Is measured by
sacrifices for a worthy cause. The i'm.
mOrtals whose graves we cover with
flowers made the superlatiye sacrifice.
Among them were young men who
turned aside from college halls In
which they were seeking preparation
for a larger life. Among them were
farmers who left every interest Of
heart and hand to serve the country
they loved. Among them were mer-
chants who left their merchandise and
mechanics who left their trades, never
TO be taken up again.
Among them were boys who went
away from parents who needed them
as the staff Of life In hours when shad-
Ows were falling. Among them were
husbands who carried the memory Of
a holy kiss and q fearful face they
never were TO see again.
Among them were young men who
had but the day before led to the altar
the one they loved dearer than life It,
self. And all these went away to face
the storm Of flying bullets and stain
with their lifeblood the rank grass Of
many a southern plain to the end that
the Union might not be rent In twain
and that the banner Of liberty might
float from the Atlantic to the Pacific

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN
PER CENT u. S. BONDS
WERE SOLD AT Sl.4O?
Bankers Foresee Repetition of Such
Prices a Few Years After
Victory Campaign.

One does not have to have a long,
flowing beard to recall the time not 80
many years ago when a United States
government f~per cent bond sold with
in a fraction of 40. That meant that
the nan who had bought one of those
bonds for 500 and had been collecting
4 per cent interest on it while he held
1t could sell it for a few cents less
than $40.
Bankers and investment experts
freely predict today that the present
government securities will soon be re-
peating the rise of those other bonds.
The bankers prophecies are not
empty guesses. They point, among
other signs, to the fact that our loans
to European countries will be paying
us an annual income of $43O, OOO, 900.
After the Victory Loan has been
sold and distributed a few years will
see a return of money to the old 3
and 4 per cent basis and the investors
the world over will be out shoppin-,
looking for something to buy.
That situation can mean only pne
thing-higher prices for the invest.
ments.
The man with a Victory Bond then
will have a high.priced commodity on
his hands-and he won't want to sell
it.

WHAT THE GOBS DID
YOU can DOl

During the war and W directly
after the signing of the armistice, few
Americans knew about or had even
heard Of the great U. S. Naval Avia-
ton Supply Base at Pauillac, France.
This station, from the time it was
built early in 1918. has carried on its
work with the utmost secrecy, not
only because the work was of such
an important character that especial
effort was made to keep all knowledge
Of activities from the enemy, but be-
cause it was the navy's job: and one
seldom hears about the achievements
Of the navy.
For instance, the news of The
amount of money the men at Pauillac
station subscribed to the Fourth Lib.
erty Loan until now has been kept a
modest secret. OF course, the sub.
scribers undoubtedly realized at the
time they had established a record
which no other army or navy outfit
equaled But they would not talk.
On September %, 1918, when the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign opened
there were 3,16S men at Paulliac. Cap
tain F. T. Evans, U. s. ~, the com.
handing officer, set the quota of the
station at $500 0O, not believing for
one moment this amount would be
subscribed by his men. However,
they not only reached their quota, but
altogether they bought $513,6O0 Of
bonds, which averages about S1G2 per
man.
Comparatively speaking. the Paul
lac station had about as well an or.
ganlzed Liberty Loan campaign as any
town in the United States. The cam
paign was organized and put through
entirely by the men. On the opening
day of the Liberty Loan original post
ers designed by the artists among the
a%viators. sailors, mechanics, etc, ap-
peared in every available bill-posting
spot. The Pauillac Pilot, the daily
newspaper of the station, came out
with a Liberty Loan edition, just as
many Of the metropolitan newspapers
did. Aeroplanes circles over the sta
ton dropping Liberty Loan literature.
One of the Orders" dropped read:
From: Your Uncle Sam.
To: You. Sailor.
Via. Airplane. b
Subject: Fourth Liberty Loan.
Reference: P%aymaster.
ID You are hereby ordered to buy
a o~ne-hundred. dollar or f~fty.dollar

damnedest to boost the Liberty Loan

there dig down and come across. The

3) Duty completed, proceed to

II cost the United States about three
million dollars to build one of the
naval aviation supply stations in the
world, and IL is the pride of the men
OF this station that with their Liberty
Bonds they helped pay one-sixth of the
cost.
