LOAN APPEAL BY
SECRETARY GIL Ass
Valley Press,
Ell Centre, Calf.

l would be lacking in frankness if did not tell
you that the Treasury Department is apprehensive
concerning the Victory Liberty Loan. In view of
this serious situation secretary of the treasury
and as fellow newspaper publisher, appeal to you
to help impress upon your readers the urgency Of
subscribing to this loan by publishing in your edi-
tons Of Monday in first page box if possible, the
following message:
The Victory Liberty Loan campaign is two
thirds over but subscriptions have been reported for
little more than one-third of the loan
Is it conceivable that the American people, who
with heart and soul waged the fight for freedom, will
permit this loan of victory and thanksgiving to fail?
Our sons gave Of their health, of their strength
and of their lives that freedom might not perish
There are and one-haf million American boys
in France and Germany. Now that the war is ended
1t would be as reasonable for them to dshonor the
nation by deserving the flag as for the nation to dis
honor itself by deserving them. Is it large thing
that we are now asked to lend our money to pay
the cost of victory? Is American money less willing
than American manhood?
Let everyone of the millions who have bought
Liberty bonds buy Victory bonds, and success is
sure. CARTER GLASS,
Secretary of the Treasury

every section of the county.
Mr.. les statement is not mere hot
air, but is based on interviews he has
had with business men, architects, con-
tractors and prospective builders,
and given from his fund of expert
opinion on the subject. He is recog
nized as enc of tie best informed
men in the state On building and de-
velopment.
"Although your warm weather is
coming on, resulting in certain slack
ening Of building operations, the pros
pect of big building boom FOR the
Valley, and Ell Centre in particular,
is certainly looming on the horizoa,'
said Mr.. lies today.
Additional business rooms, residen-
ces and apartments seem to comprise
most of the embryonic plans that are
in the air. Their construction will
simply mark the naturalization of the
constant growth and development of
this wonderfully prosperous section.
"Everywhere ! have been there has
been shortage Of houses and Of bus
mess rooms. Almost overy town in the
Valley is ready To- expansion and
more accommodation must be prcvid-
ed for both hcuseholders and business
people. Frankly, | look for this fall
to be the biggest building period in
the history of Ell Centre"
