PIGS AS MACHINE GUNNERs
shrew6 Trick Played by Germans When They Fled Before the Con-
 quering American Troops.

The crafty Germans resorted to all sorts of tricks to check the advance of the Yankees In the fighting just before the armistice was signed, according to a letter from Sergt. Sidney s. Foy, for merly of Detroit, Mich., now attached to a headquarters company in B classi- fcatton camp in France, to friend in the Michigan city.
 Foy writes that pigs were numerous during the advance and that the Ger mans used them to help in putting Yankees out of action. When the Huns were forced to retreat they would tie a pig by the leg to the trig- ger of 8 machine gun. When the Tanks would charge, the pig, becoming fright ened, would squeal and tug to free it. self. Every tug the pig made a shot was fired at the waves of oncoming American troops, and, of course, some of them were hit.
 This was only one Of the ruses adopted by the Germans, says Foy, and the Yankees had to use the ut most caution In going over the ground eyacus ted by the Germans.

JUST WHAT IS MEANT
 BY FINISH THE JOB!"

The people of the United States will be asked presently to subscribe to a Fifth Liberty Loan, the Victory Lib erty Loan. And they will be asked to do so in order that the Government may Finish the Job" of the war.
 What does that mean?
 It means, of course, paying the war bills, bringing the troops home, clear ing up the expense of demobilization, looking after tl.a wounded and making payments to the dependents of sol diers-in short, it means wiping the war off the ledger.
 But in a spiritual sense 1t means much more.
 The call for the Loan will be an- other call of patriotism. Is that call to go unanswered? It will be the last chance for the people as a whole to rally in unity to a national demand. In the great work for civilization which our troops accomplished glori- ously there should be found the inspt- ration for completing the task
 Finish the Job" has a spiritual sig nifcance as well as ,- material signifi- cance- It is the only way to prosper ity.

NOW COMES THE FLYkB0UT
Airplanes Seem to Bid FaIr to Take the Place Now Held by the
 Chummy Roadster.

There was a time, and not so ter ribIy many years ago, when the young man who invested his hard-earned cash in what was known as a best-girl luggy got some mention in the home paper. His purchase was chronicled with the added advice of, Look out, girls! With red running gears, rub Der tires, a tassel on the horses bridIe, and 8 whip that cost at least $1.25, this young man was so well equipped that he was a force to reckon with when love-making was going on.
 He has passed, and in his stead has come the long. low, rakish motorcar. It burns gasoline and leaves an un- pleasant odor in its wake, but it rep resents speed and exclusiveness. It is the chummy roadster. Too soon, it seems, it also will pass away. In New York newspaper Is the advertise ment of an aircraft concern. What about the boy who overseas has been roaming the sky, day after day, fly ing free In the glorious etheT?" 1t wants to know. When he comes home, the advertisement says, he will not be satisfied with a motorboat or an au- tomobile. "So why not meet the inevi- table" 1t asks, land buy him an air plane nOw?" Now that the stress of wartime production is over, this par ticular concern is offering flying boats seapIanes and chummy fiyabouts for commercial or pleasure purposes. 'An appropriate gift fer your son or daugh- ter," Is the concluding sentence.

NENOHER BACKS
 VICTORY LOAN
Duty Of People at Home Not Done Until Fighting Men Are Back, Says Commander of Rain
 bow Division.

Maj. Gen. Charles T. Menoher, whose service as former commander of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division demonstrated his fighting qualities, has placed the stamp of his approval of the W. s. S. and Victory Loan campaigns in the following statement:
 "The patriotic response of the Amer ican people in the matter of the pur- chase of War Savings Stamps and Liberty Loan Bonds has been one of the most remarkable features of this war. From the tales we had from time to time of the enthusiastic self-sacri- fee on the part of the American peo- pie at home we, who were fighting in France knew that these good people were behind us all the time and that they would remain behind US until we lad completed the task set out for us that of beating the Hun We were heating him, all right, when he cried Enough like the Hun he is.
 Now their task Is not done and will not be done until all our boys are re turned home and the great machine built up for our task has been dis mantled. I know that since the war has practically ended the incentive to concentrate effort Is mOre or less lack ing and that interests are again diver gent, yet I believe and have faith that the American people will continue their support until the task is fully com pleted and that we may expect the same patriotic response in securing the coming loan as was manifest during nreYinns Inansn

PRCSPERITY'S PROSPECT.

Of immediate interest to every man in the country is the business pros pect for the coming year. The war was a great upsetter of business, great and smaII-manufact curing, re tailing and agricultural. Business covers all these fields, so that whether a man is a farmer, Q manufacturer or runs a store his interest is-Business.
 The war upset business in three ways-it diverted labor, it diverted goods, 1t diverted capital. But the supply of labor Is gradually returning to normal, and goods are going to the people instead of to the army and the navy. But capital is still tied up be- cause of the war-biIls.
 There will be no return to business on the vast scale of which this coun- try has shown itself capable until the war-bills are paid, for not until then will the banks be entirely free to re new their normal activity, which fs the financing of business enterprises
 AS soon as the Victory Liberty Loan is taken by the people the war-biIls will be swept off the ledger. If busf- ness men want to do business they must buy these bonds as willingly as they bought them during war days.
 It is for the people to say whether the peoples business is to prosper.

ANSWER TO LOYD's
 THRIFT STAMP PUZz2 ES

A S5 bill is the smallest U. s. bank note that could pay for the young mans stamp order: 16 ones, F twos and fives are the smallest quantities to fit the proportions and amount to 85 cents. From a dollar bill only 15 cents would be left; from a 8 bill the change would be 30 cents. but from & 65 note the balance Is 75 cents, just enough for the three Thrift Stamps.

The United States government is a poor merchant.

The gov ernment assumes no responsibility states the government, as regards quantity, qualityor analysis. The bids shall cover each lot in it's entire ty and not for portion thereof but combined bids for two or morelots will be permitted Any demurrage charges shall be paid by the buyer. Failure to comply with conditions of sale makes buyer liable to forfeiture of deposit submitted with bid, without further no- tiee. No materials shall be removed until full value of same has been re- ceived by the government.
 ut etttiludt pA tlit HOACIumeul SdltS agents toward the purchasers is almost hostile. There is a note of abruptness and finalityin all of the governments propositions. The would-be purchaser is often bluffed because he fears that any difference of opinion as to the terms of sale will be settled arbitrarily by the government.
 If the United States government wants to do business with the people in the disposal of aeeucmulated war material and desires to realize any thing like the proper value it should change it's tone and be a merchant with the manners and frame of mind of a good merchant.
