A Victory Note For an Arm.

One of the first duties the United
States government has taken upon
itself Is the rehabilitation of It's sol
diers-sailors and marines-bringlng
the MANNED back to a mans place in
the economic life of the Government.
And in this movement it is the only
Government, with the exception of
Canada, that has taken official cogni-
zance of nations debt to its wound
ed soldiers.
When the Bureau of Compensation
and War Risk Bureau have cared for
the disabilities of soldier or sailor
Of the United States, he is turned over
to the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. The latter Board has been
chosen by Congress to assume the en-
tire task of the re-education and plac-
ing in employment of every wounded
soldier, sailor or marine who has been
so disabled that he Is entitled to COM
pensation from the War Risk Bureau.
1t is big job, of course, but one
that heretofore In this country, and
generally in other countries has been
matter of voluntary enterprise. But
as a matter of pure economics, how
much better plan 1t is than leaving
such large task to voluntary dena-
lions, sentiment, and maybe, later, to
forgetfulness. The price OF several
Victory Notes-a loan, mind you. not
a gift-will go further towards the re-
Mobilization Of a soldier than twenty
times the amount donated for use in
private rehabilitation.

VICTORY LOAN TERMS
ASSURE ITS SUCCESS
~ Per Cent. Notes to Appeal
/ to Small Investor-May Be
| Bought in Installments.

The terms Of the Victory Liberty
Loan, announced by the Secretary of
the Treasury, are such as to assure the
overwhelming success of the issue.
The Notes, which bear AZ per cent
interest. will appeal to investors OF
moderate means, and the securities
with 3% per cent interest will be taken
eagerly by those Of greater wealth.
AS in the Fourth Liberty Loan CAM
paign, the new securities are is
sued in coupon and registered form in
denominations of $50, 500, $500, ST.
900, $4,000 and $4,000 for coupon
Notes and $50, 500. $500, $1,000, s5.-
600. $4,000. $4,000 and 100000 for
registered Notes.
The Victory Notes may be paid for
in full or may be purchased on partial
payment plans. The Government plan
of payment calls for 10 per cent. with
the application, 10 per cent. on July 10,
20 per cent on August II, 20 per cent.
on September 9, 20 per cent. on Octo-
Der and 20 per cent on November IL.
The Victory Note bearing Az per
cent interest is most profitable and
safe investment for the man or wo-
man Of small income, for it is exempt
from normal Federal income taxes, and
the provisions of the revenue law re-
garding super-taxes do not affect a
person of moderate means. The hold
er may draw this interest-the high
est the Government has paid in half
century-without rebate. The Az per
cent Note. OF course, is subject to es-
tate and inheritance taxes. The 81
per cent Note is exempt from all
taxes except the estate and inheritance
taxes. In this respect it is like the
Bond of the First Liberty Loan. but
the interest is one-fourth per cent.
higher than for the first issue.
1t is likely the Az per cent. Note
will appeal strongly to the great ma
jority of people and that a large pro-
portion of the $3.50. 900, 900 quota for
this district will be made up of SUBJ
scriptions for this class The more
~ per cent Notes taken by the peo-
pie OF this district In small amounts
the fewer 3A per cent Notes will be
allotted in large subscriptions. This
will mean that the people who wish to
own 81 per cent. tax exempt Notes
will have to buy Az per cent. Notes
from the original subscribers and then
convert them. The purchase of AZ per
cent. Notes in the open market will in
crease their value The terms of the
Victory Liberty Loan, then, are dis
tinctly favorable to persons of mod
crate means who wish profitable in
vestment. Thus the Secretary of the
Treasury. although he believes the pa
triotism of the American people is
sturdy enough to underwrite the entire
Victory Liberty Loan, offers an issue
which will appeal strongly to the bust
ness sense of the people.

THE LAST CAMPAIGN.

II am exceedingly sorry that this
will be the last Liberty Loan cam
paign," said a county chairman who
has been through three Loans. "One
of the greatest experiences of my life
has been the participation in scores
of Liberty Loan meetings In the little
schoolhouses in various parts of the
state, where folks foregathered in the
genuine spirit of democracy and
busted themselves about democracy's
business. 1 had always envied the
women who lived In the days when
America was In process Of building,
but l don't any more, for / feel as
if We women of this day have been
able to play as interesting a part as
ever they did, with the schoolhouse
very often the stage again.
"In these Liberty Bond meetings we
felt that we were not far from the
real heart of the people. Thee we
came face TO face with altruisl., self
sacrifice and white hot patriotism.
Also painful as it Is to tell 1t, with
distrust, seifishness and disloyalty.
The work called for every ounce of
equipment we had. but it was a great
educating medium for us as we'll. We
have no fears about putting over the
Victory Loan. We have a wonderful
organization this time, and expect to
go through all the little forests of
doubts and hesitations engendered by
the Glooms Of every community like
a tank"

Must come to such mortals as ss

How often, indeed, some unfortunate
sinner
Has missed the last call to his break
fast or dinner.
How many have missed, to their sad
ness and shame,
The last call of Fortune, the last call
of Fame!
Full many a spinster is finding life
stupid
Because she was deaf to the last call
of Cupid.
Full many a man went to prison to
board
When the last call of conscience by
him was ignored!
Another Last Call will be sounding

And don't miss this Call, folks, what
ever you do!
Don't miss the Last Call of the Flag
