VICTORY LOAN BOOST
 HELD WEDNESDAY
Gov. BrOugh Addresses Large
 Crowd at A-Muse-U-Army Aviator Makes Three Flights.

The meeting held at the A MuseU Wednesday afternoon in the interest of the Victory Loan was we'll attended. Gov. Brough delivered a masterly ad- dress which was well received by the large audience.
 It. Lenihan of Eberts Field was introduced and made a few well chosen remarks in regard to the Campaign.
 The names of the Victory Bond subscribers were shaken up in a box and four were drawn out. The fortunate ones were presented with a German Helmet each. Two more of these helmets are to be given out later, one to the person who buys the most bonds and the other to the party who sells the largest number.
 After the meeting closed It. Lenihan made a very thrilling flight over the city to the de light of many spectators. This was his third flight since he ar rived here. The weather for the afternoon flight turned out to be fine despite the gloomy prospect of the forenoon.
 This will be the last of the at fractions furnished by the gov ernment in this city in the in terest of the Victory Loan. If those already given have not been sufficient toi arouse the patriotism and pride of our cit izens enough to buy bonds the government does not care to be bothered with them.
 Drew county has raised over half her quota and will doubt less oversubscribe. Wilmar has already gone over the top and Tillar has met her obligation. A number of other smaller places have over-albscribed. Monti- cello has not quite reached her goal but is rapidly approaching it daily.

HUNS SPIKED HELMETS THAT NEVER GOT TO PARIS
Four of These Remarkable SOu- venirs Given Away Wednes-
 day. ? More to be Given Away

From the earliest days of the war, and who knows for how long before, the Kaiser had been dreaming of triumphal entry into Paris. And to add to the luster and general splen- dor of the entry he planned to send in his troops with polished: bayonets, speekless equipment, ]. dress uniforms and the "pickel- hauben' the spiked helmet on their close-cropped Prussian heads.
 In order that every true son of the Fatherland might be decked out for the occasion he had some hundred of thou sands of dress helmets made up with gilt and brass. But the schedule went wrong. Some thing happened to the last great drive. Something occur ed to change the plan and the Kaiser made a very unobtru- sive exit from Germany.
 Then Pershing's doughboys, chasing the retreatirg Germans arrived at Coblenz. Here they found whole warehouses full of the resplendent headgear that would have been worn into Paris had the Kaiser had his way. The doughboys took look at the helmets and then they had good laugh. They took an inventory of the lot and found that there were 1000 of the spiked hats that everybody in Europe outside of Deutseh- land, now hates. No one want ed them in Europe. But the U- nited States has found a use for the whole lot.
 Miss Fay Matthews, L. w. billiard, J. W. Russell and Mike Coburn were the lucky ones at the A-Muse-U Theatre Wednes. day afternoon to receive these trophies of war. Every one has a chance at the remaining two. All that you have to do is either buy the most or sell the largest number of Victory Bonds in Drew county.
 They are dressy headgear, but they will never be very popular here in America. As a trophy though, we'll that is an other matter as any fighting man who has been overseas can tell you. They will be a double reminder, a keepsake of the Great War and souvenir of the last great loan of that war. But they never saw Paris, thanks to the Marines and the hard fighting infantrymen who stopped the rush at Belleau Wood last summer.

YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.
 WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Terms of Victory Loan Payment So Easy That Any One Can Respond To COuntry's Gall.

The story has been carefully spread by enemies of the Lib erty Loan that the terms of the Fifth or Victory Loan will be very different and much harder to meet than those of the other loans. Secretary Glass has made the following official announcement as to the terms:
 Ten per cent must be paid with the application;
 Ten per cent must be paid on July 15;
 Twenty per cent must be paid August 12;
 Twenty per cent on Sep tember. 9;
 And the last payment, 20 per icent must be made on Novem- Der. II.
 Does that sound very drastic and unreasonable? And with the last payment made of course all the accrued interest is due, just as it has been with other loans. Payment can be complet- ed at any time on the install ment dates with the payment of accrued interest to the date on which the payment is made. There is very little difference in the character of the issues. Technically the Fifth ponds are not bonds but notes, but they are both long term promises of the United States of America to pay a certain sum of money with interest at a certain time. In brief, the bonds may run for, a period of 10 years or more, while the notes will run five years.
 As to affording the money for the bond payments, well that is an individual matter and each American will have to fight that out with his own con science. For it becomes a mat ter of conscience, this question as to whether a man shall or shall not support his government when that government calls upon him. The terms are made such that no man can conscientious ly point to them and say that they debar him from putting his money back of his gover- ment.
 The last payment comes a. way long over the shoulder of the year, in far-off November. The first really important pay ment of 20 percent does not come until August and the loan drive closes in May. This time last year few men could have been found who would have made the claim that they "could not afford it" and would have brazened that claim cut to the end. We could and did af- ford loan subscriptions then when the Hun hordes were threatening the worlds civili- zation. We can afford it now. We have won peace but that peace must be insured, and the way to insure it is to subscribe this last of the Liberty Loans.

ulSCONcl IilS IllS COIlCeIlSuS OI opinion as to the things most important for the improvement of Monticello and Drew county the following items received the heaviest vote.
 By a narrow marjority of one vote the Cotton Market won the place of first importance. The Chamber of Commerce did as a matter of fact take up the solv- ing of this problem first and invested it's first money to secure this desired result and our association is now a mem Der of the Arkansas Cotton Trade Association and we have the influence and expert assist ance of this strong organization with it's assurance that by next season Monticello will be an open cotton market equal to any in the State. Cotton will be bought by outside as we'll as local buyers of our City directly from the farmers wagon on grade. It behooves every Drew county farmer to see that his seed is the very best that he can buy and that his staple will be at least one inch, which will guarantee to him the top mar ket price for his cotton, and he can get this top market price in Monticello.
 The next two items that won public indorsement are good roads and profitable farming these two go hand in hand as each one naturally results in the other. It is impossible for us to develop our profitable farming enterprise, and especi- ally impossible to develop dairy, creamery and truck grow ing enterprises without first having good roads along which to build up.
 For the first time in our history we have good roads just within our grasp and we sincerely trust that every per son who has the interest of his community and people and self at heart will do all in his power to mould a modern progressive sentiment which demands good roads. If we get the good roads other things will follow.
 Our Profitable Farming Pro- gram is in full swing and is be- ing given more time, attention and money than any other item. This is the basis of all prosper ity and our business men are enthusiastic and liberal in their support and whole-hearted CO., operation in the Cottrell Pro gram. If our farmers will unite with us themselves in the work ing out of the program which has been formed Drew county in very short time will be the most prosperous agricultural county in the State of Ark ansas. We have every assur- ance for the good people of the county of their indorsement of this program.
 Receiving an equal number of votes with the last two items IS the demand that Monticello clean up her unsightly spots. We have the Beautiful Homes, Living Churches, Splendid Schools, and Wonderful Water, and in order to make our City almost ideal we have only left the task of cleaning up these Unsightly Spots
 One of the suggestions eX- pressed sentiment in the fol- lowing concrete form: Remove all delapidated building within the fire district, especially those on the Court Square. ' And another suggestion is that every Monticellonian: keep his yard clean and paint or white wash his house, barn and out houses just as soon as possible. Other matters suggested along this line have been referred to

Chamber Of Commerce Questionnaire Brings
 Many Suggestions

dustrial plants together with the extension of the railroad North were the next items of an equal number of votes. The Chamber of Commerce has now advertised in a number of trade journals and papers published in industrial centers, and also has the assistance of the State officials at Little Rock and of the industrial agents of both of our present railroads in an active campaign to establish in dustrial plants striving especi- ally for the securing of a hard wood factory for the manufac- ture of small articles such as axe handles, rough furniture, crates etc, canning factory; and a brick, pottery and tile factory.
 On the matter of the extens- ion of the A. & L. M. Ky. north has had the active considera- tion of our Organization and it's present situation has been pub lished in our local papers. We have the assurance that if this railroad can only be made to pay expenses for this year it will be built North without great expense or effort on our part. The road is now losing money each month and the only way in which this lost can be stopped is for the Monticello shippers to have their freight routed over this short line. Un- less this loss can be stopped the lease from Monticello to Cros- sett will be cancelled, the last possibility of a North and South road from Monticello will be gone so far as the present Monticellonians are concerned.
 On the matter of Better Merchandising and Home Trad ing the following unique sugges- tion of vast possibility was made to-wit; Every storekeeper in Monticello should offer one staple item which the farmer is most likely to want to buy, at cost. Advertise these items every week in our two papers and we will draw trade from a very much greater territory than we are at present. All we storekeepers are going to need more sales this year and we are not going to get it by sitting down and waiting for it like we have in the past two years. 1 suggest that our President ap- point a committee to canvass all the stores every week and get a list of red hot, sure enough bar gains to have for our friends in the country when they come to town on Saturday. In other words we storekeepers want to keep our own people so busy reading about our bargains that they will forget to read the mail order catalogue"
 Pursuant to this suggestion Mr. w. w. Hoover, as chairman J. A. Baxter and E. A. Fish were appointed as a committee on Better Merchandising and Home Trading to immediately work out a feasible plan and put it in operation carrying out the general idea of this sug- gestion.
 The Monticello Chamber of Commerce is rapidly becoming a very vital force in the affairs of our town and county and a man is being measured and judged by his attitude toward this organization. It is worthy of your support and it is urged that every reader of this article who is not already a member send or leave his check for $1O with the Secretary or at the Union Bank and Trust Go. before the sun goes down, thus making a member with paid up dues for one year, and every member of the Chamber of Commerce make it his business, even at some sacrifice, to se-
