MUST PAY FOR OPPORTUNITY
Those to Whom Good Fortune Comes Usually Have to Make More or
 Less Sacrifice.

Lack of opportunity Is the lack we most frequently bewail. Yet those at whose door opportunity seldom knocks and upon whom it bestows only the most grudging gifts may still cherish some consolatory reflections Oppor- unity never presents itself to any one as a wholly munifieent fairy; it always manages to exact some sacri- ice for the benefits or advantages hat it promises to confer. And usual y the sacrifice is more or less com nenSurate with the opportunity. The nan who laments the rut in which he must travel finds when the opportun- ty to struggle out of it occurs that disturbing consequences follow break ng of ties that on being threatened -ake on a sudden new formidableness. The step upward means nearly al ways q step away from the old asso- ciateS and the old associations. So many deferred considerations are suggested in the advances that oppor- unity makes that everyone can well appreciate the remark of q successful man T believe that some of my un- happieSt times were those when 1 was given chance to get ahead.

"Whats the need Of another Liberty

Officials of the War Loan organlza'

outlining some of the purposes 1o1
which money will be needed by the

1t is shown that the amount raised

of nearly two billion dollars month
