The little puppy dog that chased

with the H c.. of L. bugaboo. We're
all going around in a circle.
No one is getting anywhere We
may all think we are somewhere but
we're not. The janitors union goes on

the landlord hikes the rent, generally
a. bit more than the fattening Of the

the men need more money to meet
the rapidly advancing tide of high
prices. In alf probability the raise
will be granted, partially at least.
Coal is on the uplift and the present
cate anything more optimistic than a
raise of not more than dollar or two
per ton.
The railroads are the largest cob
leCtive consumers of COAL Even
at dollar ton more, the coal bills
of the great transportation systems
will be tremendous, To meet this,
the roads must, of course, hike freight
and passenger tariffs. Who pays the

And that's how our money goes, all
in a wild scramble, with everyone

getting is good. Street cleaners are

THE VICTORY LOAN
MUST Be FLOATED---
WE'LL FINISH The JOB
Fathers And Mothers OF Boys Who
Risked All Will See That The
Bills Are Paid

The Victory Loan, fifth and last Of
the national Liberty Loans, will be
put over in the campaign beginning
April q and continuing three weeks,
as enthusiastically and completely as
were the preceding loans That is GER
tain, as indicated by the responses
from the loyal workers who are ready
to give their services to their country
until the job is finished and the bills
all paid.
Whatever spirit of "let down" that
may have followed the signing of the
armistice is rapidly disappearing, and
the whole country is awakening to the
realization that the war is not over and
will not be over until the last OF the
American soldiers Is safe at home
again and every dollar of the gigantic
war bill paid. The fathers and moth
ers of the boys who went overseas or
to camp, who risked their lives for
their country-and many OF them gave
life or limb--will not quit until the
Job Is finished, any more than the sol
dicrs quit over there.
The Victory Loan campaign will
soon be on. The government has de-
cided upon a FIVE billion dollar issue of
short term securities. to be repaid
within Ave years. and bearing attrac-
tive interest rates. Secretary Glass
believes this form IT security will com
mand a better market price after the
campaign than would bonds issued for
longer term Of years.
Every man in the country viii be
asked soon to subscribe to the Victory
Loan. 1t is time 20 be getting ready
