"Finish The Job" Motto
Of Victory Loan Campaign
Everybody mates a quitter!

Everybody hates gutter!
Uncle Sam is going to finish every.
thing he has started
He finished one job in France when
he helped to drive the Huns back
across the Rhine.
Uncle Sam and the Allies are finish
ing another now, at the peace table
in Europe, where they propose to stop
wars forever.
We are going to finish another at
home, by paying the big bills this
war cost us.
The Victory Loan will attend to
that. The job is not finished until the
bills are paid.
We went into this war on big
scale, which was the only way to win.
We couldn't provide men and NUM-
lions and ships and food in a hand.
tO-mouth way. The big scale on which
Uncle Sam went to work was one
thing that made the Kaiser quit so
quickly. He saw we were in the war
to the finish.
There is to be just one more Lib

will wind up the job.
It will take around 1--WE billion dol
lars to pay the war bill Uncle Sam
proposes to borrow the money from
his nephews, on short term bonds at .

Every man in the country is to be
asked soon to do his share in finish

not everyone can wear even the be-

broidery in the color of the dark crepe

The sole difference between a sane

This Is the definition OF an English
authority who says that as long as
man Is able 10 alter his actions to
suit any change In himself or his en-
vironment, so long is he mentally nor

ton either by changing his circum-
stances, or by changing his own
actions.
The mailman fails 10 make the
proper adjustments and he does not
recognize such failure rs an error but
persists in IT, Thus. insanity might
be defined as permanent error.
Here Hes the boundary between
mistake and madness:

WHY
Statistics Are Unsafe Guide
to Conclusion.

Statistics. though often interesting,
are sometimes most misleading and
futile. FOR example, u is interesting
10 know from the census bureau the
number OF prison commitments among
the foreign born population Of the
United States, but II would be most
unsafe 10 base any congratulations
upon them, for the number Of commit.
msnfs 10 prison is no indication OF
the number Of crimes committed, and
there are many more criminals al large
than behind the bars
Those In prison were not clever
enough to escape. They got caught.
Those at large were able to commit
their crimes and eiude detection.
British statistics show that In only
Is per cent OF the Indictable offenses
that are committed Is the perpetrator
convicted.
The figures for America are probably
NOT very different. Therefore - per
cent Of the criminals are at large. II
Is fair to assume that this IS per

Funstens would make this their chief

There has been considerable rivalry
between this city and St. Louis for
the reputation OF being the fur centre

interests seems to have won.
The Grohs plant is one of the largest

prohibition won and the outlook for
the manufacture and sale of beer and
other liquors was bad, the Grohs Com
pany decided to turn its large brew

The idea for the novel alteration
was suggested by the increase IN the
fur trade in the Seventh Avenue dis

dealers had no place to store their
wears.
