NJ could have been the FIRST Liberty bond holder. In
the Revolutionary when the young government had
no funds whatever to meet current expenses Washington
supplied part Of the necessary money from his private
fortune In order to get this ready cash he compelled
to sell property in Virginia. He lent in all about $4,000

These sacrifices on Washinstons part chcerfulIy
made to government in the making; to one in fact that
he was trying to establish Had he failed in his purpose
no payment would have been forthcoming, and it was

Americans Of today are not asked 10 make such sac-
fees. The government to which Washington gave Of him

1t, bonds are backed by better security than any others
on the world market.
The father Of his country did not doubt nor hesitate

MILES To LEAD
N. D. NEXT YEAR
SCrappy PLAYER Unanimously
Elected Captain of Gold
and Blue Team.
BY CHARLES \. GRIMES.

Frank (Rangy) Miles Of ST. Louis,
Mo, was unanimously elected cap
tain Of the 1920 baseball nine imme-
diately after the varsity alumni
game Monday afternoon.
The past season was Miles first
on the college nine although he is
a junior in the engineering depart
ment Unknown and unheralded he
turned out for early season practice
last February and showed marks of
"A conner from the start. From the
beginning OF the outdoor season
there was never a doubt that Miles
was slated for the regular shortstOp
berth. Hard luck at the beginning
of the season failed TO stop him ana
he went into every game fighting to
the last ditch A better side-kick
around second could not have been
picked out for the veteran Capt Sjo-
berg. Miles proved a steadying cog
in the inield machine. His fielding
rapidly developed as the season
progressed. and more than one big
league paid secret visiter to Notre
Dame TO see him in action. His hit
ting has been fully as spectacular as
his fielding In the Purdue game
he gathered five blows, including
two triples.
