the people for ro-elec,ion. and we
think the people of Bolivar county
are fortunate i'll having the oppor-
tunity to show their gratitude to
this splendid public spirited young
man who so ably represented them
last session. The people of Boil,
var county and the Mississippi
Levee District are under lasting
obligations to Mr.. Sillers for the
splendid single handed fight which
he waged during the last Session
against the bill to allow the Levee
Board to contribute funds for the
construction of the Beunswick
levee, and which fight he won,
thereby defeating the bill, This
bill had already passed the Senate
and was supported by some of the
strongest members of the House.
Many members of the House were
pledged to support the bill and II
was almost sure of passage until
Mr.. Sillers took the floor. and
after he had concluded a nearly
two hour speech and replied TO the
cham pions of the bill. it was placed
on passage anCkw defeated by a
handsome majority IF this bill
had passed it would have cost the
people of Bolivar County many
thousand dollars in taxation and
would have cost the Levee District
millions of dollars; which i'll these
times stress and war would have
been an unjust burden on them.
We are satisfied, from the record
Mr.. Sillers has made, and his
marked ability, the people OF this
county could select no better man
for the place, and we confidently
predict his election by an over
whelmingly majority.

1t Is Good Business $s
to Subscribe to the
Victory Liberty Loan

TT is freely stated that the VICTORY LIB
ERTY LOAN should be loated on a business
basis. 1t is contended that the of interest and
terms should be attractive to banks and investors
with idle funds.
We are assured that the terms of the Loan
will be attractive, but it matters not what the terms
are, there is not enough idle money available to
take up loan of five six billion dollars.
1t would be bad business for the banks to ab-
sorb the Loan 1t would be bad for the banks and
it would be bad for our community.
Good business demands that the banks keep
their funds in such shape that they can loan money
to their customers when it is needed If the banks
use their funds to purchase Liberty Bonds, their
ability to loan money to business rnen and farmers
is lessened The question is shall the banks loan
tleir money to Uncle Sam or to our people?
If our people buy the Bonds the banks will lend
them the money they need to complete the pay
nents This will affect the ability of the banks
to take of the loans to our business men and
farmers; because the banks redscount the
notes given for Liberty Bonds and thus replen;sh
their funds.
1t is good business for our people to subscribe
to the VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN ard thus
keep the banks free TO take care Of their regular
borrowers.
If business can get the money it needs, more
crops will be grown, more goods will be made,
more people will be employed.
For purely selfish business reasons our people
should subscribe to the VICTORY LIBERTY
LOAN. For patriotic reasons, also, we should all
do our part. The money raised by the VICTORY
LIBERTY LOAN will be largely used to pay for
bills already contracted in winning the We
must keep the credit of Government unfair
nisfed. What American would refuse to do his
&c
country?
We are not cutters. Let's finish the Job as
only real Americans know how
