UNCLE SAM MUST
HAVE YOUR help
POSTMASTER J. A. SCHOENHOFF
DISTRICT CHAIRMAN FOR
VICTORY LOAN DRIVE.
CAMPAIGN STARTS APRIL q
YOUR ALLOTMENT WILL BE
ABOUT THE SAME AS IN
LAST LOAN.

The Victory or Thanksgiving Lib
erty Loan drive will start April FL,
and plans are being made to put the
loan over in a hurry.
The issue will probably be for S.
600, 100000. It is not known what
rate of interest this loan will carry,
but Secretary of the Treasury Glass
has announced that the rate will be
attractive. The forthcoming loan will
be in the nature of short time govern
ment notes maturing in five years.
Conditions today are entirely differ
ent than when the Fourth Loan was
put across last fall. At that time
America was just striking her stride
in the world war. 1t was also ex-
pected there would be at least two
more liberty bond issues.
War is over now, but the govern
ment is under a tremendous expense.
Statistics show that it costs 5000 to
transport every soldier from France
to his home town. 1t costs $1,270 a
year for the sustence of each SOL
der. 1t is not expected that it will be
possible to demobilize the army within
ten months, or an expense of $1,058.30
per man.
1t will cost the government nearly
$1,000,000,000 to pay the farmers the
guaranteed price for their 1919 wheat
crop. The $5,OOO,O0O,0 bond issue
next month will not clean up Uncle
Sans war bills but it is positively
stated that it will tide the government
over so that another bond issue will
not be necessary.
Uncle Sam must have the money.
If he cannot get it by the sale of
bonds additional taxes must be levied.
There are just two ways the govern
ment can raise the money.
The great American heart is de-
voutly thankful that the terrible war
is over. Fifty thousand of the best
young manhood Of this nation made
the supreme sacrifice for humanity's
cause while a hundred thousand others
are more or less crippled and manned.
The stopping of the Hun at Chateau
Thierry and the cleaning out the
Argonne Woods cost a heavy toll of
American man power, but the latter
brought the German War Lords to
their knees.
Patriotism will not put the next
p,,f4 ha q
will surely show their gratitude by
buying their allotments which very
likely will be about the same as in
!. the Fourth Loan. We must finish the
job.
Fred Schilplin chairman of Stearns
County in the Victory Loan is work
