Somehow the very first mention of . Fifth Liberty Loan left the little town of Jeffersonville cold.
 And yet JeffersonviIle had been patriotic enough in the flaming days when the men of America were set ting their faces toward the East and moving by train and truckload to the Atlantic ports. Its boys had gone, sofne by enlistment, some by the slower process of the draft It's women had worked their fingers sore in the Red Cross rooms over the Town Hall. The war drives had gone through with . whoop. The Liberty Bond quotas, those. of the First, the Second, the Third and the Fourth had been over subscribed at the last minute. Yes, Jenersonville had been average pa triotic.
 Maybe 1t was war weariness. May be 1t was just indifference. a feeling that as soon as the boys came home everything would fall back into the old comfortable ways of the days be- fore the kaisertngs went mad back in 1914. and that a restfui. even a slumberous peace would again des- cend over the old-timey brick and frame houses and the maple-hned streets that wandered on out into the country and lost themselves in pleas ant country highways through corn fields, alfalfa meadows, elumps of woods ard gently rolling hills.
 But this time Jeffersonvilie was sort M rescntful, The boys were coming back one and two at time. Jenersouviile wanted them all back at once. Tho oracles under the maple trees, the loungers by the stove in the cobbAer's shop. the drugstore hang CTS on, the pool room followers. they were sN airing their views.
 Je6ersonville was tired of the war. It vas tired of reading about it, tired of hearing about it. The gentry who backed up against the depot wall and watched No 24 come in from the east every afternoon were busy criticising tho Government. They were divided about the League of Nations, some holding that it would be mighty fine thing. others inclining to the belief thst "Wan Street must be mixed up in it somehow" but on the Liberty Loan there was little difference of opinion.

 It vas in Jake Jackson's harness shop that most of the under-current of old JeRersonville's opinion was formed. Around the glowing stove. wh11s old Jake stitched on set of 1oather tugs, the talk swung and cir cssd.
