Victory Loan Is
the Thumb Issue

The thumb is not as graceful, uni
form and regular as the four fingers
but the dependability and the indis-
pensabflity Of the thumb needs no ar
gument OF defense. The other fingers
are, more or less, Of family like
ness. The thumb has a form and a
function of its own-and quite related
to the fingers. One has noticed the
pitiable efforts of a man who has lost
his thumb when he tries to do the sim
plest things like writing or welding
a hammer of buttoning his collar. The
thumb stands of to itself-but the
four tapering fingers, either of which
might be spared better than the
thumb, call on the odd member Of the
group when there is clinching. grasp.
ing, hitting to be done.
All the four Liberty Loan campaigns
have been more or less alike. The
Fifth stands of to itself, In date and
in setting and situation altogether.
Though different from the others, this
Fifth Is the most important of all. 1t
is the grasp effort, the clinch drive.

cesses. The thumb drive is a cold
blooded business proposition. It means
loyalty of patriotism which digs
down cheerfully and comes up with
the money to pay for what he has al.
ready been obtained and enjoyed in
considerable measure. 1t is the tesi
drive; it is the real crux of the trial
Of American feaity; it will reveal the
fine Americans who, having subscribed
their money for hope or pledged their
coin from fear, now plank down the
dollars from honest conviction.
The thumb drive is going to be the
biggest and the most American OF
them all.

FARMERS TIRE OF
"NATfON'S BACKBONE"
PHRASE AND YET
The Words Have Peculiar Significance
in Victory Loan Campaign.

Farmers have been told so often
that they are the backbone of the ma
TONS prosperity that they sometimes
grow tired of hearing the phrase re-
peated But this year the words have
more than ordinary significance.
1t costs money to raise and trans
port the produce Of American fields
and farms. The farmer made money;
he received higher prices for his crops
than had ever been paid before IN the
history Of the country.
II is true that the war has been
gloriously ended. But the Job has not
been ended.
When the American puts his hand
to the plow he does not look back.
When he puts his name ON q note he
makes good. It Is the American way.
And nobody doubts that the American
people will make good ON the Victory
Liberty Loan. In entering the war
they put their lame to q promissory
note to their government which Is
about to fall due.
These words are Just a reminder Of
obligations. The farmer has pros
pered, in some cases even beyond his
dreams. And prosperity is coming to
him in the future in even greater
measure. The world must come to
America for food. The war is over,
but the job is not. America will finish
1t in true American 100 per cent style.

Canada and the United States are

United States state that the bonds are

States may be issued under Act of
Congress, payable in foreign currency,

Gated by the fact that funds of
the district are not sufficient to
meet the needs of increased sal
aries, the school levy having reached
the limit permitted by the statute.
1t is evident from the above list
that many teachers must deny them
selves the necessaries of life in or
der to keep themselves looking up
to the standard of dress which their
position demands 1t is probable
that an attempt will be made to
remedy the situation in some way.
This year % new teachers were
engaged to take the places of those
who were compelled to resign on
account of their inability to live
properly on the salaries paid.
