Armistice Day
Oaklcy's Celebration a Success
In Every Way.


anniversary of the signing of
the armistice. The program of
the day was carried out punctu-
ally as set out in last weeks
issue of the Herald At nine
thirty in the morning, the colors
were raised by the color guard
and the salute was fired by
squad of American Legion boys.
A short band con<ert followed,
then the citizens of Oakley
Valley gathe e at Howells thea
ter for well prepared program,
which was full Of patriotism and
the spirit Of one hundred per
cent msricanism. Patriotic
songs, band selections, vocal and
violin solos, qualtettes, drills
and speeches made up the pro-
gram. Probably the most out
standing numbers Of the program
We're the talk by Frank Hunter
on Life in the Army and Camp
Fire Songs by all the young men
in the service. The speech by
Hunter was filed with pathos
and sympathy for bereaved Bel
gium and France. He portrayed
as only soldier can, the actual
conditions as they existed over
there. He also put emphasis on
the clean ret ord that the Amer
lean soldiers made and the love
that shall always exist in the
hearts of our foreign Allies for
Americans as Americans. The
camp fire songs by the American
Legion displayed no greatly cuI-
tivated voices for harmony, but
/, illustrated to the general public
the way the boys would gather
Gound the campfres or how on
j the snnrch they wo64d I'll join
in merry song to keep up that
characteristic pep which contrib
uted about seventy per cent to
the winning of the war.
In the afternoon the crowd
was entertained by the band
until about three O'Clock, when
the Oakley Valley Veterans
assembled for short but snappy
drill. With over half of the men
, in ranks bearing one or more
gold chevrons, there can be no
doubt Of the class Of drill that
was exhibited. At the com
mand, Attention the boys
snapped into their former disci-
pline and proved to the on-look-
/. ers that the boys of Oakley val
ley were not merely boys in uni
form but that they had drilled
) and served that time in the
ranks which alone can make a
soldier. At five in the after
. noon the colors were lowered in
, due military fashion.
: The big success of the celebra-
ton however was the Armistice
2 dance given under the auspices
of the American Legion. The
: hall was elaborately decorated in
Q red, white and blue streamers
and flags. In the fore part of
8 the evening pink and white car
: nations were given to the ladies
as the favofJ of the evening.
> The programs bore the seal of
: the American Legion, and the
t idea carried out in the names Of
r the dances was to the duties and
calls which the soldier heard in
: his daily routine. The music
was furnished by the Oakley
orchestra under direction OF
Prof. West. The proceeds of
e the dance were for the benefit
of the American Legion. The
: sentiment that has been ex-
n pressed since the dance is to the
: effect that it was the most sue
r cessful dance this season.
The day in its entirety was
a great success and the citizens
of Oakley are to be congcatu-
lated upon their patriotism and
true Americanism.

ereignty.
There the statement usually stops,
as if that much were all-sufiicicnt;

ing it in that way, as if it were to
say to a man "by doing this you
lose half your life"
1t is a DOGGY, q mountain out of
a mole-hill, built up for purely polit-

What is sovereignty?
Simply the freedom to do as we
please, regardless Of its effect upon
others. 1t Is the same whether APP
piled to a nation or an individual.
The only absolute sovereign is the
savage who has no government, no
obligations, and whose only rule Of
conduct is his own sweet will.
Civilization has for thousands of
years been clipping Off some of the
sovereignty of each individual, for
the good of all, and we are all bet
ter for it. Nations have been doing
the same thing. We all give up
some of our sovereignty, for the pro-
lection Of organized, civilized gov
eminent. Nations do the same
thing. Every treaty we ever made
surrended some of our sovereignty
and the only nation that would not
recognize that fact, was the Hun
nation which made treaties scraps OF
paper and became an outlaw for sc
doing.
Every recognition by us of the
rights, of: other nations upon land oil
sea or in. the. air, surrender a part OF
our sovereignty. We surrendered {
part of our'sovereignty when we en-.
tered the war, and when we entered
the peace conference and are bounC
to do 50 every time we recognize
another nation as being our equa
and entitled to certain rights anC
privileges which are to be regarded
by us and not violated.
We gave mp a very large chunk o
our sovereignty when we promoted
and entered the unified command ar,
put our armies under the direction o
Marshal Foch, yet who is there t,
say it was not the best big move
made during the war? 1t won tn,
war and saved many nations. 4

for us in peace.

WOMEN BIG HELP ON
VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
Preliminary Work Is Well Mapped Out
Big Showing in Former Loans
to 30 Exceeded This Time.

Preliminary returns show that the
women workers OF the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve district are out TO make
a big showing In the Victory Liberty
Loan. Women chairmen and workers
are everywhere signing up for the
fifth campaign. There have been very
few designations, It Is reported, from

In the women's loan activities. the
women workers feel more strongly
than ever their obligation 10 get out
and personally go after bond subscrip-
tions. The very fact that individuals
are found who do not appreciate the
obligation resting upon the civilian
population has aroused i'm double force
the patriotic sense of duty in the
breast of the women workers. These
are asserting through letters re-
ceived at Chicago headquarters by
every mail that they intend to work
twice as hard as in any preceding
lOan-if that be posslble-in order to
counterfeit the "quitter" sentiment
that is manifesting itself among GER
tain individuals in every community.
Preliminary work is we'll mapped

larger number OF women workers en-
rolled everywhere than was the case
In the preceding loans. Workers al
ready are securing pledges from re-
crults and veterans and 1t is promised
that better showing will be made in
every state than in any of the Liberty
loans SO far placed.
The Fifth loan, it is pointed out. will
come at time when women on the
farms and in the smaller communities
can give an especially large amount
OF time TO the loan work. The drive
coming In April, Will precede the ac-
tive farm and garden work and the
women will. therefore, be in a position
to concentrate on the campaign In
way they were unable TO do In the
Fourthfe,an.
The results Of the Victory Loan are
expected to prove a monument TO the
patriotism and selfsacriflce Of the

mat will be issued next summer and
fall, there Will be q very much re-
duced balance for general business
credit accommodation.
Everyone knows what credit limita-
lions did To business In the days when
nghting was going on. The readjust-
ment pause that has followed has les
sened the demand but the minute
business starts forward on the recon
struction boom, as IL will in short
time, every dollar of credit facilities
possible will be I'm demand. and any
such lhnitation as failure of the
loan would entail would mean bust
ness Stagnation and unemployment.
Every loan worker in the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve district must realize that
the success of his own business. or the
size or his own pay envelope, is tied
up with the success OF the govern
ments financial plan.
Finally, the nation has such an
enormous amount of new wealth that
1t Is impossible TO assume that the
unless patriotism and common sense
were both stricken dead in every
American breast upon the signing OF
the armistice, the loan will be a sue
cess. National bank deposits in 1913
amounted to only $6,051 $780, s7; to-
day they amount to $1,000 OOO, 900.
Farm profits on the 1913 crop have
been enormous and the 1919 crop prom
ises to be the greatest In history. The
hard-coal mines of the country pro-
duced 78,649,91S gross tons OF new
wealth in 1913 and the petroleum wells
added 345, 500. 900 barrels of oil. The
national balance of trade-the excess
OF exports over imports-has grown
from 1922, 677 ,921 I'm 1909 10 $3.50, 600
600 in 1918. in four short years We
have changed from a debtor nation
owing $4,000 100000 abroad, To cred
600 by foreign nations and their people.
And lastly, American banks hold the
greatest accumulation OF gold ever
known in hiStOry--as much as is owned
by the next eight most wealthy ma
tons put together.
Any citizen who fears that the fifth
loan cannot and will not be subscribed
has little of the courage and conf
dence that made America famous at
Chateau Thierry and Cantigny and In

WOMAN FOLLOWS SAFE PLAN
Saves and Buys and Holds Her Invest
msnts-Estate Grows by Aecu-
muIating Safe Bonds.

This is the story of Miss Mary 10.
ceding her death worked in a Chicago
department store:
When Miss Hallam began to earn
her living she had the same quallfica-
lions for success that everyone has
average health and average intelli-
gence. Capital she had none. But
she had something else as good IN not
better-an appreciation Of the advan-
tages of thrift and an answering am
bition to succeed
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES salaries are not
generally regarded as the best stepping
stones toward prosperity. Yet Miss
Hallam prOspered. She saved a part
of her wages each week and invested
them well. She never specialized. She
put her money only into such invest
ments as would yield a sure interest
return. Upon her death she left an
estate valued at $4,000.
Had Miss Hallam. during the earlier
years of her progress toward pros
perity, had the advantage OF investing

been still more rapid In her younger
days there were no government bonds
available. In order TO be sure that
her investments were safe she care
fully studied the investment field and
accepted a comparatively low rate OF
interest. But she succeeded In spite
of that.
American men and women, starting
out today, have a great advantage.
The war has for the first time since
1865 made government bonds of the
United States available to the small
investor. Before 1917 the small gov
eminent issues were snapped up by
the banks for their own special uses.
But now Liberty bonds may be bought
by everyone and at higher rate OF
interest than would ever have been
possible had it not been for the war.
The government soon will offer to
the people one more chance to partici-
pate In a great loan. by that timo
the nation will have contracted a float
ing debt OF more than $1,000, 900, 900,
which must be provided for.
Miss Hallam's story shows that any
body can save and accumulate. And
common sense shows that everybody
who is saving can find no investment
quite as good as Uncle Sans Victory
Liberty bonds.

AMERICAN PEOPLE READY
TO COMPLETE THE JOB
Victory Liberty Loan Must Succeed to
Degree in Keeping With Success
Of Former Loans.
BY CHARLES II. scHWEPPE,
Director of Victory Liberty Loan Cam
patyn, Seventh Federal
Reserve District.

Despite the fact that hostilities have
ceased and preliminary steps 10 the
signing of peace treaty been taken.
our big war job is not finished. The job
will not be completed until the war
bills are paid and the slate OF the ma
ton is clean. Those of us who re-
manned on this side OF the water still
have work to do To polish off the great
victory won by our soldiers and sail
Ors. and the work before us is as pa
triotic and essential as that already
accomplished.
The Victory Liberty Loan must sue
coed to a degree In keeping with the
success OF the four previous loans.
This success can be attained only
through the efforts and enthusiasm Of
the entire people. Liberty Loan or
ganizations must put into their efforts
the same vim and fire that character
lied their work I'm the previous loans.
The people must do everything within
their power TO aid the organizations
In performing the task that is N much
theirs as I'm the time when the nation
was warning.
The spirit of thanksgiving should
permeate the American atmosphere
should dominate the heart OF every
citizen, for II il had not been for the
extensive preparation To fight the CEN
trail powers until victory perched upon
our banner the war would have been
prolonged indefinitely, with conse-
quent loss OF thousands OF lives that
otherwise were saved to us when the
German general staff acknowledged
the futllity of continuing the struggle
for world domination. The great VIC
tory was achieved very largely through
the shells that were never exploded,
through the soldiers that did not go
across, and through the general prep
arations in other directions. The Amer
lean people can give expression to
their thanksgiving by subscribing to
the limit OF their ability in making
the Victory Liberty Loan an over
whelming success.
The fullness OF the great victory will
not be realized until the war bills are
paid aid all the boys brought home
The expenses of the war have been
huge. but America set out 10 win the
war at any cost. and now, with vic
tory secure, the American people stand
ready to complete the job assigned TO
transporting the money necessary
to win the victory.

month.
Q. Suppose l bought bonds of pre-
ceding issues and feel | can't afford to
