The Natchitoches enterprise., 1919-04-24

On Monday, April 81, we shall
have an opportunity of showing
10 what extent we have caught
the spirit Of the new and en-.
lightened patriotism that the
World War gave birth to.
Selfishness is. dead. The sac.
riice of money, future, even
life itself, has become almost a
commonplace. Today, one
would be ashamed to talk or act
selfishly.
The people Of the Eleventh
Federal District have always
lived up to the highest tradi-
tions of our race and now they
will add to their record the
GROWING act of a great over
subscription to the Victory Lib
erty Loan, which of all loans is
the true test of patriotism.
The people of this section are
well informed. They know that
the payment Of our just debts
is the orly course consistent
with our dignity. They know
that what they are lending
money for today is not actually
war material but American
boys live3-if it were not for I;
our vast preparation, Americans
would be fighting and dying in |
the trenches today. !

DON'T TIE HIS Hands

If any foreigner was to ster
up to you and declare that Tn.
Gle Sam wasn't sincere, didn't
live up to his obligations, fail.
ed to make good his promises,
you would probably try to
knock his block off.
Uncle Sam is sincere, is hon.
orable, tries always to make
good, backs up to the letter his
ideals and endeavors to attain
his ambitions.
And when he fails anywhere
along the line it's the folks at
home who do not toe the line
of duty. Who tie his hands.
Right now Uncle Sam is ask
ing you to help him meet the
greatest obligation he has. ever
faced. e.
The task Of finishing this
war job rightly.
He asks it in his name, in
the name of every khaki clad
soldier iK the lana.
In the name of every one of
those 10000 boys who never
came back!
And the size Of your bond
measures the depth OF your
gratitude for all they haze saw
ed to you.

SOLDIERS Plan FOR
FIGHT BACK HOME
Disturbed by Reports Of High Cost Of
livina-Y. N. c. A. Offers
Help.

Fluctuations Of the political baTom'
eter black home" are watched with
interest by the American troops In
France and Germany, according to re-
ports coming from Paris. From men
who have reached America they have
received reports concerning the cost
of living which have caused wide un-
rest. This has sharpened the soldiers
determination to equip themselves
with increased efficiency for the re-
turn to industrial life.
To offset the growing apprehension
the Y. NJ. C. A. has introduced new
business system in it's program with
the army. Secretaries have been in
structed to take up with the men the
question of work after the war.
Signs reading, "What are you going
to do when you get back homer" are
prominently displayed in the Red
Triangle huts in Germany. No matter
what profession or what special work
q soldier wishes to pursue he vii! be
able now to develop that bent by en-
rolling at the ~" hut. There he will
be placed in direct touch with the
people back home who need and can
use his services.
The T. NJ. G. A. will give men every
opportunity to study books that con-
tain professional and technical infor-
nation so when they do reach home
they will have obtained \rudimentary
knowledge at least Of the enterprise
on which they desire to embark. Com
ment made by the soldiers on condi-
lions is indicative of the fact that
they intend to take pronounced in
terest In the affairs Of the nation once
they are again on this side Of the At
lantic.

needed to complete the war task
Of the nation.
The honor of the Govern
ment is at stake. The graft
tude of the nation to it's heroic
defenders must be proved. We
must show the whole world
that we are loyal to the pledg-
ed word Of the American ma
ton.
The Victory Liberty Loan
will be the best investment ever
offered by any government. It
will have less risk, pay better
interest, and have more advan-
tages than any security obtain

QUESTIONABLE
PERPLExiNG PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
m educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men to
work. Would not similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer.-It is learned that such q
plan is in effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works Of war to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is no
real surplus Of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
thA necessities of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
Improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now off, and there. is
scarcely town, city, a factory,
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
q crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-;
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical. No matter, what
1t costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost of neglect. No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill in
and decay.
