Beginning to Sting 'Em.

Telegrams and long distance calls began to sting a few of the citizens but they managed to forget about them in a day or so. The Loan was moving along day by day but Jeffer Ochs was chuckling to himself and cautiously imparting his views to few of his intimates The humbling of Germany was a bitter dose for him. He would keep still when he had to, but he was more than pleased to see that Jefrersonville was not bothering itself about the fool loan. Ii pleased the Hunnish soul of him to feel that the Yankee pigs" were indifferent to their loan He could not forget that his brother and cousins had worn the helmets of the kaisers guard with "Gott Nit Uns" on their belt buckles and he had gloated with them. in imagination. over the spoil and the loot that was to have been theirs in Pari. and London So he strength ened the determination of his ac- quairtances not 10 sign for dollars worth of bonds and felt better for do Ing 50 every night

Inan Talk Avoided.

In the meanwhile the ships were bringing thousands of young Ameri- cans home And Central Europe was beginning to rumble and emit vol canic lightnings Jeffersonyille was not looking much further than it's immediate horizon-than the coun- ters and the ledgers and the farms and the fields, the getting and buying and selling Jeffersonville, as has been noted, was trying it's best to for get all about the war.
 The Loan started. All over the na- ton devoted men and women bent to the task of raising the money so UT gently needed for the financing of the United States of America in it's year after the war The Liberty Loan post CTS and literature sent 10 Jefferson vile were left in the express office. The town slept pIacidly on. It seemed to have been forgotten by the county organization. No one disturbed it,
 Nevertheless JeffersonYille could not entirely forget the Nic ory Loan. The newspapers were talking about it. It was in full swing all over the country with the usual agoniZing un- certainties as to what district was going to first clear the ropes with its quota subscribed. Jeffersonville stirred faintly in it's sleep and a few of the dyed-in- wool Americans placed their subscriptions and began to remon- strate
 However, it was tacitly understood in Jetfersonville that the loan was not a subject of general conversation. The weather was never more talked about anywhere than it was in that little town for few days. Then the workers, those who had beStirred themselves in the otl CT loans, began to feel uneasy and conscience-strick- en Men began to mention the loan, sort of tentatively.
 Then JeFersonville went through another curious phase. It began to try and persuade itself that the loan ought to fail and that it would fail. Teach these Smart Alecks down to than one Jeffersonvlle citizen to him self

 Before noon every human being n Teffersonvlle heard about it. Some were angry, some were ashamed. oth- PTS were enthused and the town )uzzed like hornets nest.
 A Town Redeemed.
 But flag here and there began 0 make it's appearance. Men began 0 do sums in mental arithmetic They also began to make up their minds to get to the night meeting. The thing vas more serious than they had bought. Sergeant Colvin spent . pussy afternoon. When Sid Price beard he was headed for his office he hurried out, climbed in the blackboard md struck out for the country to bo gone two days. Colvin made a house .ohouse canvass of the village. He ,aid some stirring things and some larring things. But Jeffersonyille was getting wider awake every moment
 Jeffersonville didn't like to look at it's own actions, when 1t became fully awake. The phones were busy that afternoon and early evening. The town was making up it's mind. There was much scanning of quotas past and present There was much furtive hur- rying to and fro in the early evening"
 Then came 7:30 and the hall was jammed early-eVery seat filled The crowd had hardly settled when Gid Brown rose and walked heavily up the aisle, elambered to the little stage and raised his hand.
 You know what we are here for he said We have been mighty foolish little town This day we were reminded that we were still in the United States. We had been acting IS though We had forgotten 1t or SC ceded from it.

Then something happened that drove Jeffersonville into hysterical wakefulness. It seemed that the towns indifference was being rather widely advertised and the time had come when personal and vigorous work had to be done by the district loan committed And the weapon, the very instrument came shaped to their hand
 He was boyish young soldier, with deep set eyes He wore wound chevron and the gold service stripes that told of months of overseas serv- ice And he hated stacker and he hated Hun and he had no patience with the mouthy l. who loved to carry morbid tales, who loved to hint at troubles between the Allies. And a few years before he had lived Tn Jeffersonyille and he knew every man and woman in it and most of the chil- dren. And-he had gone into Ar gonne Wood and the Mouse Elbow ana the barbed wire hell that the Germans had made of the old Hindenburg Line, elbow to elbow with the home town boys from Jeffersonville.

 Well" began the banker man, the town doesn't seem to be very much interested this time"
 You were interested last July, weren't you?' asked the Sergeant Interested when it looked like the Hun had tie Allies down.

That there are over a million Americans still in France and Ger many Don't you know that you sent them there to do your work and to do your fighting and that they did what they were sent to do? And don't you know that this community who died over there and who are buried three thousand miles from this little town?
 The crowd stirred uneasily Men looked at their neighbors. Why, the thing seemed different now. It was like voice from the half-forgotten army talking to them. Had they failed? Hadn't they made their word good7 Somehow all the indifference about the loan didn't seem so fine and so funny as 1t had a while ago,
 Forgotten So Soon.
 Are you gong to desert and forget those boys over there on the Rhine ?' went on the speaker Are you going to forget the chaps who died in shell holes, twisted with the gas-agony. the boys who were riddled with machine gun bullets. who died remembering this little place and knowing they would never see it again2 l want to tell you that they are watching you from over there. the chaps who have not been relieved They want to see if you meant what you told 'em when they left that you were back of 'em 10 the finish fellow thinks lot about such things when he is 5000 miles from home" :"
