Victory Loan viii PROBE
Staying Power of Americans


On April 2lst there will start three weeks cam
pagn for the Fifth Liberty Loan and about seems
to be good time for look ourselves and what
we going to do about it.
Some Of the prophets say that this loan is not going
to go down easily the other oans The over
the world is made safe for the democrats of the
boys back, and the rest their way so why
wory2 Moreover the price Of living going up and the
market price OF H. S. bonds is below par where do we
get off anyhow?
It is not worth while to discuss the truth allacy Of
the above for it has not much bearing the situation
appears to live Americans IF brother friend
has got himself into jam and needs some money to help
him out we don't begin to talk profit and loss with him
before help him. The most ask for is fair chance
to get our money back and don't always ask for that
And it relations, lodge get into hole and call
for money hand it and think about it afterwards
get it back consider ourselves just that much
to the good Every live in Arizona and particularly
in Pnal county, lets go of his loose change and some that
he really needs Just though he had barrel full at home
and at the end OF the month he forges it and starts
again.
And that the government is making a last call
not for Gift but for Loan, which it will pay back in
full and with interest let us consider why we should
come
We should buy these bonds not because they will
make 1ich not because don't need the money not
because can't have fun spending it for uxuries
or other things but because government country
mas undertaken and successfully finished abig job for
benefit has thereby gotten into financial hole and needs
our money, as loan, to help it out;
We should buy these bonds to prove that our former
purchases OF Liberty bonds made sober Judgment
with full sense Of duty and responsibility Ameri
can citizens and not carelessy moved by hysterca
enthusiasm which influences those of feeble purposes
We should buy them to pay our share for the bene-
fits OF being Apercan citizens, and all foreigners should
buy them more to help pay for the benefits Of
living under our flag
We who stayed at home in peace and comfort and
prosperity should buy them to balance accounts
compared with the accounts of the enlisted men, who gave
up everything they had and took up the toughest job
ats ~ 11C tho 0ho Of
broken up or killed. IN order that country might
dure and the rest of live peace There are 100000
or SO of them who have taken the biggest chances who
are waiting to get back. They live and when
they arrive they will want to know what have DONE
and must be able to tell them that if did not fight
we at least helped pay the bill.
We should buy these bonds because it is our cold duty
men, to hold up ends towards helping our organi7
zaton government pay the bills after it has borrowed
the material and successfully finished the Job for u.s. If
other did the fighting for Gods sake let us do our
share OF the paying!
The war is not The fighting may be finished but
the hardest most monotonous and most trying work is
still ahead OF ushe work OF picking the pieces after
the has passed over and enthusiasm has
cooled This is the time which will show whether we who
stayed at home are stayers cutters.
Any can dance while the music is plaving but it
takes seadfastness OF purpose to stay and clean up the
floor after the band has gone
Pinal county has gone way over its quota in all the
previous loans and had the best record in the entire 18th
Federal District the last two oans If we fall down
this time will appear Happy Enthusiasts who can
KICK up quite dust when the music plays, but who lack
the Staying Powers to do business in the Cold GREY
Dawn
Every man who bought bonds Of the other loans and
who is able to and does not buy bond of the 9Th loan
shows himself to be of light purpose who does his
duty only as his fancy may him, and with the
cold determination that men should have.
Pnal county has been singulary favored in the class
OF men who have leone to it, both Americans and for
egners residents and transient They have always held
up their end If they dance they insist upon helping to
pay the fiddler and if it has so happened that some one
else has done their fighting they have so far insisted
doing their share of the paying loaning towards the
payment and we know that they will do it in the 5th loan
