THE VICTORY LOAN
WHY IT Is NECESSARY AND HOW
IT WILL BE FLoATED SET
FORTH.
LAST OF LIBERTY ISSUES
sani<s Cannot Handle Il Alone, and
! Everybody Must Lend a Helping
Hand.

q Maybe the following ,catechism will
help to set you right on some OF the
Questions surrounding the Fifth, the
Victory Loan, the last OF the historic
Liberty Bond Issues.
r. q Is this to be the last OF the Elt-
tsfkt L6ansf, ,g.s .f
A. Yes; on the authority OF no less
person than the Secretary Of the
Treasury. Carter Glass, who has made
that announcement.
Q. Is there a possibility that the
Governments mind may be changed
and that the Loan will not be floated,
as announced2 'f' sTs'
A. There is no such possibility.
Congress has authorized the Loan, it
has been formally announced and it
will ba offered to the people of the
United States and all others who wish
/ 10 buy. It.
The war Is over peace is being
made; what Is the ~se Of another
Foam FOR several billion dollarsl
A. Last fall re raised the Fourth
Loan n a time Of war The proceeds
from the Fourth Loan have been used
W IN the extraordinary expenditu IS
that accompany rehabilitation. The
Government must haze billions more
On order to maintain our overseas
forces, take care of the expenses Of
rehabilitation, bring the soldiers
home and carry out the necessary RI
construction plans.
After War Expenses. y
Q. If the United States has very
little money In its treasury and now
needs loan, how are we paying for
these after-the-war expenses?
A. This is being done for the most
part with money tn was borrowed
from the banks at the rate of 5000, O0O,.
900 every two weeks. We have been
Issuing to the banks what were called
short-term anticipation certificates in
return for the money, and these must
pc taken up and paid off. A goodly
part of the Victor Loan will be used
n paying up this short-term indebt-
sdness.
@, Well, If the banks are willing to
advance the money why not let them
otinue to do so?
J "A. For the very good reason that
b order to continue to extend credit
% the businesses OF the country, both
big and little. the banks must get
back this money when 1t falls due.

ELKS PUT ON A BENEFIT
"A Tidy Sum Realized Which Will
be Spent in RemOdeling The
Home.

The Elks benefit last Thurs
Day which started off with a
baseball game in the Afternoon
between the married and the
single members Of the Lodge,
and ended with a social, band
concert and dance at the Home
in the evening, was successful
from every standpoint.
The ball game produced every
thing that was ever shown at
ball game since the game was in
augurated. The runs were plen-
tiful, 26 all told the errors more
plentiful number deIeated), the
Umps were on a par with all
Umps (not very long on beauty
or eyesight), and the comedy
(not intentional) was good for
Indigestion. The married men
we're less inclined to soar and
thereby annexed sixteen of the
twenty-six runs, which accord
ing to one Of the Umps was suf-
ficient to win the game. A fair
sized crowd saw the frolic and
pronounced it good.
IN the evening on the lawn OF
the Elks Home there were good
things to eat, good music by the
Concordia band, and OF h Ell
things. Here an immense crowC
gathered and were entertained
"a quartet composed of Messr'
Harry X. st. Clair, VIM. Aull
5r., E. D. Hix, and John J. Price
megnaphoned several selections
and Miss Garvia Johnson SAM
two songs. Their efforts werl
heartily applauded. Refresh
ments were in great demand
and all together the effort wa
rewarded with a net sum Of
bout $4,000.
Those of the Lodge who pu
the benefit over with such mark
ed success are to be congratulat
ed and are deserving Of tn
highest praise. 1t was wort
while, and will help very mate
rally in the realization of NOR
modern appointments for tn

it is a miracle that he was not

saved him, and with the excep-

a pretty tender spot on his head
he seems to be none the worse
