you can save many dol
lars.

In considering what make Of tire IS
to your best interest to buy, consider
the following facts:
The Pharis Paramoid tires made
and sold represent an investment by
the public Of millions in thousands Of
tires.
The output Of Pharis Paramoid tires
exceeds that OF any other standard
make OF tire that has only been man
ufactured since 1913.
This shows the universal appreeid
ton Of the Pharis Paramoid tire, and
it should convince you of its supreme
merit and that it is the tire you
should buy.
It is a product that will sustain its
merited reputation with you also.
The Pharis Paramod tires are stan
dard hand made tires,
The Pharis Paramoid tires are made
by a company that has had years OF
experience to teach it what is worth
knowing in tire and tube building.
Is it any wonder that the Pharis
Paramoid tire pleases the most ex-
acting buyer?

over II per cent heavier than most
other tires. They are full of life and
fresh from the factory. When you
see them you will like them and
when you use them you will always

One of the biggest problems faced

nationalities. 1t was the difference
existing between the Balkan peoples
that set the whole world afiame in
1914. Now a lot more small indie
pendent nations have been created.
Some of them are constituted of
turbulent peoples, accustomed to
warfare, and with rival ambitions
and ancient feuds. Unless they can
live in peace and quiet with each
other, the provocations leading to a
world war may be even more serious
than before.

WOMEN BIG HELP ON
VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
Preliminary Work Is Well Mapped Out
Big Showing in Former Loans
to Be Exceeded This Time.

Preliminary returns show that the
women workers Of the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve district are out to make
big showing in the Victory Liberty
Loan. Women chairmen and workers
are everywhere signing up for the
fifth campaign. There have been very
few designations, 1t Is reported, from
women who felt that their obligation
to the nation had ended because the
fighting in France was ended.
On the contrary, it is asserted by
Miss Grace Dixon, director for women,
Seventh district, and by other leaders
in the women's loan activities, the
women workers feel more strongly
than ever their obligation to get out
and personally go after bond subscrip-
lions. The very fact that individuals
are found who do not appreciate the
obligation resting upon the civilian
population has aroused in double force
the patriotic sense of duty in the
breast of the women workers. These
are asserting through letters re-
ISlNCu oL SlllIuSO w
every mail that they intend to work
twice as hard as in any preceding
loan-if that be possible-in order to
counteract the 'Quitter" sentiment
that is manifesting itself among GER
tain individuals in every community.
Preliminary work is well mapped
out in majority of the counties in
the district. 1t Is planned to have a
larger number of women workers en-
rolled everywhere than was the case
in the preceding loans. Workers al
ready are securing pledges from re-
cruits and veterans and it is promised
that better showing will be made in
every state than in any of the Liberty
loans so far placed.
The Fifth loan, it is pointed out, will
| come at a time when women on the
farms and in the smaller communities
| can give an especially large amount
of time to the loan work. The drive,
coming in April, will precede the ac-
tive farm and garden work and the
| women viii, therefore be in position
to concentrate on the campaign in
way they were unable to do in the
| Fourth loan.
The results of the Victory Loan are
| expected to prove monument to the
patriotism and self-sacrifice of the
women of the Seventh Federal Re-
serve district, for the spirit of service
| is the animating principle of the Amer
lean people at this time.

that will be issued next summer and
fall, there will be a very much re-
duced balance for general business
credit accommodation.
Everyone knows what credit limita
lions did to business in the days when
fighting was going on. The readjust-
ment pause that has followed has les
sened the demand, but the minute
business starts forward on the recon
struction boom, as 1t will in a short
time, every dollar of credit facilities
possible will be in demand. and any
such limitation as a failure of the
loan would entail would mean BUSH
ness stagnation and unemployment.
Every loan worker in the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve district must realize that
the success of his own business, or the
size of his own pay envelope, is tied
up with the success Of the govern
ment's financial plan.
Finally, the nation has such an
enormous amount of new wealth that
1t is impossible to assume that the
loan will fail. Everything says that,
unless patriotism and common sense
were both stricken dead in every
American breast upon the signing of
the armistice, the loan will be.a sue
cess. National bank deposits in 1913
amounted to only S6051, 6S9,OS7; to-
day they amount to $15,051 900 900.
Farm profits on the 1913 crop have
been enormous and the 1919 crop prom
Uses to be the greatest in history. The
hard-coal mines of the country pro-
duced 76,649,91S gross tons of new
wealth in 1918 and the petroleum wells
added $40, 100000 barrels of oil. The
national balance of trade-the excess
of exports over importS-has grown
from $3.50, 677 ,921 In 1909 to So, $780, 00,-
00O in 1918. In four short years we
have changed from a debtor nation
owing 4,00G,000000. abroad, to a cred
itOr nation that is owed S10,000,OOO,-
900 by foreign nations and their people.
And lastly, American banks hold the
greatest accumulation of gold ever
known in history-as much as is owned
by the next eight most wealthy ma
tons put together.
ANY citizen who fears that the fifth
loan cannot and will not be subscribed
has little of the courage and conf
dence that made America famous at
Chateau Thierry and Cantigny and in
the Argonne Forest.
