Editorial

Out in Chicago two little
girls arc recovering from a
dose Of poisoning, in spite
of the fact that the most
noted toxicologist of that
city pronounced them in
durable, and even set the
probable time of their
death.
The doctors now say the
recovery is due to the I'M
wavering faith of the
father, who insisted that
they MUST get well.
1t is good for such
miracles to occur. 1t re-
wives our belief in the
power of faith. And just
now we all need a good
faith tonic.
Let us take from the
above incident a lesson,
and renew our faith in our
country and in our govern
ment.
We of this store firmly
believe that our pre-war
happiness and peacefulness
will soon be restored. We
believe in our fellow men.
Don't you?

THE war was won six months or year ahead
= of schedule because the Germans realized that
the tremendous preparations being made in this
country would absolutely annihilate the German
army when the full force of America was thrown
into the fight
In asking us to subscribe to the Victory Lib
erty Loan our Government is only asking us to
loan our money so that the bills of victory can be
paid 1t is debt of honor which every individual
American must do his part to pay.
This nation-your country and mine-cwes
approximately $l00OOOOO,OOO in unpaid war bills
for Victory that we now enjoying.
The nation must pay this debit it is 70 con-
tinue to exist as nation among the nations Of the
world.
There are only two ways that the nation can
secure the money-by bonds and by taxes.
Taxes are already high and yet insufficient to
meet our outstanding war obligations.
Therefore bonds must be sold.
Again. there are only two ways that several
billions of dollars Of bonds can be sold-to the
banks or to the people.
If they are placed with the banks, industry,
commerce, your business will suffer. The banks
would be unable to purchase several billion dol
lars of Liberty Bonds and continue to loan money
in sufficient quantities and at fair rate to the
business man. You cannot have your pudding and
eat it, too
1t is, therefore, YOUR BUSINESS and MY
BUSINESS to prepare for the Victory Liberty
Loan, that we may then invest as largely as each
of us Individually cantor Americas welfare and
for our own.

"A Victory Liberty Note in every

workers on the government reserva.

ed by the Indians in the success Of
the loan campaign. They seem to
grasp the fact that not only are they
helping the Great White Father at
Washington clean up the nations
wartime obligations, but they are de-
irving personal benefit by lending
money to the government.
That the Indian is doing his bit To
help the Victory Loan campaign is at,
tested by Cato Sells, commissioner Of
Indian affairs. "In the Victory Loan
campaign he said, "the Indians will
do their part for the government and
themselves"
The Indians have been in the war
school," said Mr. Sells, land they
have learned for themselves its ex.
pansive and intensive lessons. Nine
thousand Of them, or one-fourth of
their number eligible for warfare, en-
tered the military service, and, ming
ling with the white soldiery, earned
their full ratio of promotions. On the
reservation back Of these ransoceanic

LIBERTY WORKERS


There are no pessimists among the
women workers of the War Loan Or
ganization for the Eighth District, &C
cording 20 Mrs. Theodore Benoist, dis
trict chairman Of the women's division
OF the organization.
Letters from the state chairman
from all over the district show that
the women Of the states are keener
than ever to 60 sway over the top
In the Victory Loan campaign" said
Mrs. Benoist -The state chairmen
have been making trips over their
states calling on the county chairmen.
They report that in each county visit
ed the women are even more enthu-
siastic over the coming loan than they
were In the preceding Liberty loans.
ALREADY more than 10000 women
have made up their minds to put
over the Victory Liberty Loan and
are working to perfect the organtza-
Itions.
! "The government has made q pro
vision to give each worker In the
coming loan drive q medal made from
the metal Of captured cRnnonA We
have asked the state chaiFmen 10 send
in the names Of their workers 30 that
we may have a list OF those who are
to be given medals. think the gov
ernment WIN have to get some more
cannons II the women keep enrolling"
said Mrs. Benoist-
Mrs. Benoist expressed the belief
that patriotism would carry the loan
IL the investment inducement did not.
We must pay the bills for success.
The boys who went into the service to
win the war and who did win the war
have completed their job. We must
complete ours. 1t is for the honor Of
the nation. The honor Of each in
dividual depends on the honor Of the
nation. Women Of the Eighth District
will not allow their honor to be in
doubt and have made up their minds
to see that the Victory Liberty Loan
is success"
Mrs Sam Phillips, state chairman in
West Tennessee, requested that big,
inspirational meeting be held early,
but upon consultation with Mrs. Ben
DIST it has been decided to postpone
the meetings. Kentucky will be the
first state in which the big rally,
which will precede the campaign, will
be held. The date for the Kentucky
meeting has been set for April Z.
Mrs. Benoist plans to attend all
IN the district.
Up to date the two states in the
district which have the nearest to
complete organizations are Missouri
and Arkansas Mrs. Benoist said, In
these states the organizations are
complete. Other states are
fast completing their organizations
and it is expected that within few
days every state in the district viii
have been organized.

prosecution Of war! Before the advent
Of the Federal Reserve Banks then

times OF exigency, could not minister

loaned foreign nations &11 900 ,000, 900
