UNCLE SANS BILLS
MUST BE PAID
Up to America to Show World That 1t
Does What 1t Promises
to Do.

The argument, sometimes heard.
that there should be no need of an
other Liberty loan, because the war is
over, indicates there are some persons
so short-sighted and unpatriotic that
they are forgetting the grave dangers
that not so long ago threatened civili-
cation.
One Of the teffofs Of the past strug-
gle was the frightful havoc created by
the enemy on the high sens, which may
be illustrated by an incident, one of
ten thousand similar ones. 1t was told
by stranded sailor, a lone survivor
of a torpedoed ship. He related how
German submarine, after sinking the
ship without warning, came to the sur
face and helped to rescue the few
who were swimming or drifting about
in the water. They were permitted
find refuge on it's deck. An empty
rowboat fleated by, and the COM
mander of the Sub ordered the sur
vivors to avail themselves of it, be
cause in five minutes the U-boat would
submerge
The rowboat had no oars. There We're
no provisions aboard, no shelter against
storms in this unseaworthy shell.
1t was half-filled with water-salt wa
ter-which the survivors had to scoop
out with their bare hands The cap
tain and his men descended into the
interior of the sub The matches
we're closed and gradually the instru-
ment of destruction sank out of sight,
leaving the craft, with it's human
cargo at the mercy of the waves. This
happened in the middle of the Atlantic
ocean.
There Is only one thing that can
save the world from an upheaval far
more disastrous than that which we
lea and the American people to hold to
law and order, to abide by free institu-
tons, TO rebuild, to succor and com
fort those who have been bowed down
by the terrors of organized intolerance
1t is for us to give more, pay more, do
more. 1t is for us to prove that a
wrong acknowledged becomes an obi
cation and that America does what
ever it promises to do.
This can be accomplished only by
periodically getting back of the Vic
tory Liberty loan and backing it up
to the very limit of our financial abil-
ity. Uncle Sans bills must be paid
and the boys brought home. Until
then the job won't be finished.

From the Republican, Mt.

Farming in Norway.

The hill far. ers of the Norwegian
fjords have a curious way of drying
the grass, or making the hay. They
erect ee-barred fences, the bars be-
ing about "a foot apart, at intervals in
the fields, and hang the grass on the.
bars. where ii is quickly dried by the,
sun and wind. These districts are for
the most part very sparsely populated.
and in many cases the farms are as
much as two days Journey from thes
nearest village.

The Debt
BY RANDALL PARRISH.

A young fellow came bach To our !
town the other day, struggling along
on crutchesi he had left one leg in
France A friend met him, and said |
sympathetically: I'm mighty sorry,
Fred, you lost your Leg" The lad |
looked at him and smiled. Il didn't |
lose my leg Charlie" he replied quiet
w. 81 gave it,"
That Is just what they have been
doing, those splendid lsds of ours.
They have been giving their legs, their
arms, their eyes, their very lives, that
y we might have our homes, our shops,
our farms; that we might live in
peace, in prosperity, in freedom of
thought and action.
Don't we owe them anything?
Haven't we a debt unpaid to the dead
in France, to the MANNED and crippled,
who are coming home from the battle
front?
ing Victory Liberty loan. 1t is debt
we owe-to the aviator, who went
crashing down in flames; to the dough-
boy, who went cheering over the top
through Il rain of shrapnel; to the gun
ner, who fell with the lanyard in his
hand.
We can never pay it-no! Money
does not work that miracle. Just down
the street from here flag hangs in
the window of little cottage contain
Ing two golden stars. What is my
money, or yours, balanced against the
priceless gift of the heart-broken IA
Their and mother there? If every man
| in this town should throw his dollars
into the SCALE those lives would weigh
the most
Cheer and welcome those who re-
turn; honor their manhood, and thus
| pay to them, in small measure, the
debt you owe their service.
4 But do not forget those others, who
will not return-the voiceless dead.
/ You owe a greater debt to them. They
died with faith in you.

to be used for the purpose of main

I The Germans. not the Americans,
were the cutters, but our work Is not
finished until we have brought the
victors home. Let's finish the job by

Loan as we did all its predecessors.

Loan as peace loan or victory loan,
