Buddy had kept pace with the older children in everything. singing when they sang, whether the songs were familiar to him or not. When he told about it that evening his mother asked: What was ii you sang?' "Oh, don't know what we sang," answered Buddy, still enthusiastic over his part the same"

WHAT FIFTH LOAN
 BONDS WILL DO
They Will Provide Funds Needed to Finance Peace and Recon
 struction Work.

The dollars of the United States supplied largely through four great Liberty Loans were of tremendous power In helping win the world war.
 Through the forces they added to the fighting strength of the Allies. they tipped the balance of power against the Germans for victory and peace.
 The fighting men and the fighting ships, the guns, the food. and S7,000,- 900 ,0O0 of loans to the Allies gave the momentum needed to hurl upon the Germans the avalanche that finally swept them back to defeat and de- ssroyed their menace to civilization.
 The four loans from the American people. by the American people, and for the American people. brought final victory.
 But there remains a great chapter to be brought out and finished.
 To provide funds for this Is the purpose and need of the Fifth Loan the VICTORIOUS FIFTH.
 It will furnish means to the Govern ment of this country to do it's part in the tremendous work of concluding peace, in restoration and reconstruc- tion.
 It is needed for the enormous de- mands created in the work of bringing our men home and in restoring them to their own places in the life of the nation.
 It will insure effective provision for the call of prosperity and peace. It will guard the interests of the United States commercially at home and abroad, for the present and for the future.
 The dollars of the Fifth Liberty Loan have a great duty to do, a great field in which to do 1t.

A MATTER OF COURSE

Many people have assumed that it
was going to be harder to place the
Victory Loan than it was to place the
several Liberty Loans.
That can only be on the assumption
that many Americans are patriots on
ly when the country is in danger, aud
have dropped out of the ranks n 4
that the danger is over. ~,
We don't believe that for minu e
The need of placing this loan is jus.
as great, and the duty of every citi-
gen to take his share of it is just as
binding, as when Germany seemed ON
the point of conquering the world.
1t didn't take any particularly high
degree of patriotism to induce CT
tizen to buy Liberty Bonds then.
1t may take little higher degree of
patriotism to induce the average citi-
zen to buy Victory Bonds now that the
danger to himself is over; but the av-
erage citizen HAS that higher degree
of patriotism. To doubt it is to des-
pair of the future of America.
We assume that it will be as mat
ter of course that the Victory Loan
will be placed, and that every person
will do his full share-which is to take
every dollars worth he can handle in
the six months to be spread.

But like the hole in the doughnut, no

Dugouts are usually inhabited by Of

Dugouts don't grow. They are built

later they must be built over again.
There is no money in building dugouts
but they are worth a million dollars

DUGOUTS

Dugouts are not dug out. They are
dug in. The only ones who ever dug
out of a dugout were the Germans
who dug out as soon as they saw the
9th Division stepping cover the
Top" Dugouts remind one of home
because they are so different. To
enter dugout, one must step for
ward in the dark and fall gracefully
down the steps. No real lady ever
comes into dugout! neither does a
gentlemen. They cease to exist as
soon as they start into any dugout.
A candle, several large families of
rats, many drops of water seeping
through the roof, and gas alarm bell
are the usual furnishings of the mo-
dern dugout.
Dugouts are denominations to man
kind until Jerry" starts dropping IT'S
and 1865 and a few airplane eggs
near by. Then they are in great de-
mand. Dugouts must be pumped out
