Building is Vital

A greater and better America is
the object Of this vast campaign.
The building program contemplated
by the department will mean d
transition from war to a peace
basis; it will furnish employment
for large numbers of the men to be
demobilized from the Army and
the war industries; and it will stand,
after the readjustment is completed,
as a monument to American labor
and enterprise. 1t will mean a
tremendous addition to the material
wealth of the country and to its
public resources.
States and cities are being encOur
aged to put full steam ahead on
their plans for betterment, held up
nearly two years as a result of the
war. Private builders are urged to
begin their work at once. The
average WOrkinsman, who has been
steadily employed during the war
probably has more money than
ever before. and now is the time
for him to begin an investment in a
home
Building, in short, is an impor-
tant part of the Governments plan
for peace. Stopped during the war,
this industry is far behind its nor.

One More Loan

0nly one more big war loan drive
is planned by the Treasury Depart
ment 1t will be the Victory Liber-
~ Loan, to be floated probably the
last three weeks in April. The
amount will not be more than
$6,OOO,OOO,OO0 end may be $4,000,
100000.
Il expect the Victory Liberty
Loan to be the last intensive cam
paign for the sale of Government
bonds" said Glass. Reports that
there would be two more bond is
sues this year, aggregating $l2,
000,000,000, are entirely without
foundation, not only as to mount,
but also as regards the number of
campaigns"
More bonds probably will be is.
sued by the Government even after
the next campaign, but it is plan
ned to market these quietly through
banks and other financial institu
tons, without the usual campaign
of advertising and soliciting
The amount Of securities to be
sold in this manner will not be de
termined for months until the
Treasury gets a more definite idea
of the volume of expenses growing
out of liquidatine of war contracts,
the Allies needs for further loans
and the demands arising from con.
tinuing the policy of making loans
to railroads, financing the next
wheat crop. continuing ship build
ing and other internal obligations.
One result of Glass announce
ment that the next intensive loan
campaign would be the last is that
Liberty Loan organizations through
out the country will make this d
Dig selling point in the campaign
Citizens will be urged to do their
utmost on the plea that it probably
will be the last opportunity 10
make loans to the Government for
war purposes.
The misapprehension regarding
the number and amount Of remain
ing loans may arise, Treasury offic.
ials explained, over the fact that the
Treasury had planned to float two
loans issues aggregating about Sl2,-
000000.000. this fiscal year The
fiscal year began last July /, how
ever, and ends June 80. and the
Fourth Liberty Loan of nearly
$7.000000,000 already had been
fl3ated in that period

that the terms of the Fifth or Vic
tory Loan. will have to be made
more attractive than those OF the

rate above A Id per cent, or by
some other means.

Death Lois Liberty Myren.

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter n. Myren, OF
this city have the sympathy of many
friends in the loss last Thursday of
their beloved little daughter, Lois
Liberty, who passed away after a
three weeks illness from Lethargic
Encephalitis, an inflammation of the
brain, without meningitis, known
for lack Of knowledge and a better
name as sleeping sickness. Every
thing that medical aid could do was
done for the child, but it was of no
avail. Lois Liberty was a bright and
happy child always, and she was
born in DEBORAH on July 4, 1917, and
was p months and six days old,
when the angel Of death claimed her.
She was the. light and joy of the
home and her loss is a severe blow
to the bereaved parents, who have
the sympathy Of many friends in
their loss. The funeral services were
held Sunday afternoon at $50 from
the home. Rev. Glesne officiated and
intetment was in the Norwegian
cemetery

THE RETURN OF THE SOLDIER.
Few Forms of Anxiety That Quite
Match the Continued Strain.

People who sent no boys to war
can not realize what it means to the
soldier coming back safe and sound
/ There are few forms of anxiety that
quite match the long continued
strain these home folks have borne.
To many the anxiety must have
seemed harder to bear than the
strain Of critical illness in the fam
| lily. In the soldiers case the worry
was so continuous and prolonged.
1t was augmented by the difficulty
of communicating with the absent
one. 1t was far worse in this war than
in the civil war, because of the great
distance and irregularities in de-
livering mail.
| The people who have had this
load to carry have borne it amazing
ly. Most of them here in DEBORAH and
Winneshiek county have maintained
a fine show of cheerfulness. Those
of a hopeful temperament of course
ais uSu ludI Ouly SIIdll plOpOl IlOl
are killed. But the ordinary father
and mother and sister and sweetheart
carried a load the weight of which
few people guessed.
Well, it is all over now, thank God.
AS in all life, the bearing of bur-
! dens brings ample reward. The peO-
pie who took up their loads with
brave heart grew stronger every day
1t is a good deal like the case of un-
used muscles. The man who never
exercises is weak and flabby physic-
ally, and never knows what he can
do. So the people who have borne
the burden of this anxiety proved
stronger than they knew, and are
better men and women today.
They have the intense satisfaction
of seeing their boys improved
physically in most cases, broader,
stronger men, better fitted for life,
with improved prospects OF success,
with the admiration of the. whole
community. AS they now look back
on this trying experience, they must
feel it was worth all it cost.
