FINISH THE JOB

The success of the Victory Liberty
Loan, the fifth government war loan,
will depend largely on the savings Of
the people of the nation.
To insure its success we must be-
| gin to save NOW--tO practice anew
the great lessons of the war, thrift
and economy. Aside from the loss Of
respect for ourselves as a nation every
family will be unpleasantly affected,
If the coming loan is not fully sub
scrlbed. Uncle Sans war exchequer
is compelled to spend money at the
rate Of more than three hundred mill
lion dollars q week-tO maintain the
army of occupation, to rehabilitate the
wounded, to bring home the yictors
and to carry out the program of re-
construction. He has found peace in
its early stages more expensive than
war.
This money is being borrowed from
the banks Of the country, and Uncle
Sam is issuing shOrt-term notes on the
coming Liberty Loan and the Federal
Taxes due March To- If the banks
were not speedily paid back, their re-
sources would be gone, and as they
could make no loans, credit operations
would be hampered and business
stagnate.
How about it? WIN we finish our
jOb-that Of paying the war bills, as
our immortal heroes finished theirs of
vanqulshlng the Hun? They were not
quitters, even when called on to make
the supreme sacrifice. viii we be
cutters, when there is all to gain and
nothing to lose?
A little saving now is all it will
cost, and this saving will mean a
stronger grip on the future The Vic
tory Liberty Loan Will come in the
spring. WIN you be ready to do your

BUYING LIVES,
LOAN PURPOSE
Your Liberty Loan Subscriptions
Will Help Pay For Saving
100000 Yanks.

The coming Liberty Victory Loan
will pay the cost of saving the lives
/ of more than 100000 Yanks and thou
sands of our allies, according to Lewis
B. Franklin, Director of the U. S. War
Loan Organization.
"The speed and bravery of the Amer
lean 'doughbOy' affected the Germans
ON the front line more than it did the
men at German general headquart-
ers," states Mr. Franklin, but the
fact that America had ten tons Of
mustard gas ready for shipment In
1919, to every ton that Germany had,
the fact that we were going to have a
tank on the front line for every rs
feet of the line in 1919, the fact that we
would have thousands of batteries of
guns where we did not have a single
one in 191S-thOse facts had an infiu-
ence ON the German general staff.
"And those millions and billions of
dollars were far from being wasted
in an unnecessary preparation. l feel
that the fact that money was spent
and that that enormous output Of mu-
nitions was ready, was the controlling
factor in the weakening of the Ger
man general staff, and that it caused
their message to the Kaiser that they
were beaten, and that he must sue for
peace. And the way l see 1t is that
this money, instead Of being wasted,
can be written down as having saved
the lives of hundreds of thousands of
American men who would have been
sacrificed had the war continued an
other year.
"That Is the money we are going
to ask the American people for in the
Fifth Liberty Loan. We are going to
ask them for the money that brought
our boys home safe and sound, instead
Df leaving them buried in France. And
when the people of America realize
what this money did, we are not going
10 find that they are lacking in patriot
sm to come across"

NDER policy of "HOme Rule"
for all component parts of the
Liberty Loan Committee, John
d. Mason, Director Of the War Loan
Organization, predicts that the vic
tory Liberty Loan will be oversub-
scribed in the Third Federal Reserve
District.
Philadelphia is the center Of the
Third Federal Reserve District. which
includes Pennsylvania east of Johns
town; New Jersey, south of Trenton,
and Delaware. Letters are being sent
to all Liberty Loan chairmen in towns
In this district asking them to ar
range for meeting of workers to be
addressed by representatives of the
headquarters.
Mr.. Mason announced, however, that
chairmen in various localities will be
helped and advised by the parent
committee, but that no one would
be required to adopt any measure not
thought advisable by the authorities
in that particular locality.
Plans are now being completed to
have representative from Philadel-
phia visit all sections of the District,
and help the local committees in their
campaign. Mr.. Mason announced that
he expects to make a speaking tour
himself through the district in the
near future.
Il do not feel that we in Philadel-
phia have done enough in the past to
help our fellow-wOrkers throughout
the district" he said. sour problems
and theirs are not identical, and the
only way we can help them is to have
a representative study their prob
lemS at close range"

81 have but one request to make
and that is to bespeak for the Fifth
Loan the hearty cooperation of every
man and woman who worked so splen.
didly in the campaign last autumn fol
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
II think we all fully realize that we
still have a great task before us-the
task of raising the additional money
to meet the expenses Of the war which
have been incurred by the government
and for the return of our victorious
armies to American soil, together with
their demObilization and civil rehabili
tation. The Victory Loan will give us
the opportunity to finish the job in a
true American way and feel that un.
I'll this is done our duty to our splen.
did heroes. as well as to our country,
will not have been performed.
May take this public way Of
stating that those who will be in
charge of the forthcoming campaign
will need the assistance Of every
worker who took part in the last

Mason, Mrs. Henry D. Jump, George
Wharton Pepper, Joseph Wayne. Jr.,
and Lewis Parsons.
George K Reilly, of the Advisory
Committee for the State of Pennsyl-
vania in the Fourth Loan, was forced

Lain Waters, director of the WaI
Savings Committee, was appointed In
his place. The other members Of the |
Committee for the States are
Philemon Dickinson, for New Jersey, |

Nagging takes the joy out of life
It is nasty, slow, and sure death
to happiness. 1t is a loathsome, in.
leffectual mode of correction, and
wherever tried has been found want
ing.
The surest way to lose the conf
dence of your son or daughter-par-
ticularly your son, because it is 4
common masculine trait to detest
nagging-is to nag, day in and day
out, about this thing or that thing
about any and everything. Far from
amending the fault in the youngster,
it has more certain tendency of Gre
ating a spirit of stubbornness. If
correction is due, make it quick and
certain, hot and heavy, but get it
over with, and do not drag it out into
a continual complaint that saps the
sweetness of the hearth and home.
Nagging is a weak weapon for a
teacher or preacher to assume. It's
effectiveness rivals in potency the
veritable water on a ducks back"
Any teacher or preacher, who wish
es to retain only lax hand on the
steering gear of congregation or
school should adopt the habit of
nagging. ... ....
Poor husband, who has a nagging
wife and vice-versa! They deserve
sympathy-the nagged, also the nag
ger, for it would be a mean person
indeed, who got pleasure out of do
ing the nagging, which after all is
generally only an unconscious bad
habit, and we hope that some day
there will be organized for the par
ticular benefit of small boys and
down-trodden husbands, and such

uals of the human family, Society
