WHY YOUR MONEY IS
NEEDED-H0W 1T HELPS
This Brief QUESTIONABLE Gives Inter
estng information on the
Victory Liberty Loan.

The government already is exploit
ing the Victory Liberty Loan, which
will be fiOated Il april, in order that
the people may start saving for the
purpose of investing in bonds Of the
Victory issue" The following brief
questionnaire should tend to clarity
the mind Of any reader regarding the
Victory Loan:
Q. The war being over, why is there
need of another great popular war
loan?
A The proceeds from the Fourth
loan, according to Secretary of the
Treasury Glass, were exhausted last
December, and the government must
have billions more with which TO main
tain our forces overseas, bring the vic
tors home and carry out its reconsruc-
tion plans.
Q. If Uncle Sans strong-box is
empty, how is he paying his after-war
expenseSf
A. This is being done with money
borrowed from the banks at the rate
of $600,000.000 every two weeks, short
term anticipation certificates of in
debtedness being issued in return.
Q. AS long as the banks are advanc-
ing the money, why not let them con
tinue to do so?
A. Because in order to continue to
extend credit to the business interests
big and little OF the country the banks

must get back this mOney-amourting
to 20 per cent of their entire re-
sources-when it falls due, as only
thus can the prosperity we now enjoy
be continued.
Q. Will the Victory Loan be offered
to the people on a commercial basis.
or will their patriotism again be an
pealed to?
A. Secretary Glass says the patriot
ism Of the American people will be re-
lied upon to send the loan trlum-
phantly "over the top" 1t, however
viii be made particularly attractive
as to rate Of interest and period of
maturity.
Q. What are the monthly war ex-
penditures Of the government at the
present time?
A. The latest official figures show
that Uncle Sam is expending money
at the rate of more than $2,O00,O00, 900
a month.
Q. Suppose I bought bonds of pre-
ceding issues and feel 7 can't afford to
buy any more Liberty bonds3
A. Uncle Sam has to pay his bills,
and you must afford it. even if you
have to continue for a further time
denying yourself luXuries and appar-
ent necessities. Unless the Victory
Liberty Loan is a success the govern
Beat~wiN be compelled to raise ale-
money it needs by direct taxation, and
there are no interest coupons on tax
receipts.

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

Despite the fact that hos-ilities have
ceased and preliminary steps to the
signing Of a 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
ceed to u 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 o.
ganiZations must put into their efforts
the same vim and fire that character-
lied their work in the previous loans.
The people must do everything within
their power to aid the organizations
in performing the task that is a. mdch
theirs as in the time when the cation
was warning.
The spirit of Thanksgiving should
permeate the American atmosphere
should dominate the heart Of every
citizen, for if it had not been for the
extensive preparation to fight the cen
tral powers until victory pCrched upon
our banner the war would have been
TlypIODU Und iDJafnftoIy- with - a,Dco-
quent loss of thousands of lives that
otherwise were saved to US when the
German general staff acknowledged
the futility 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
arati0ns 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 and all the boys brought kome.
The expenses of the war have been
huge, but America set out to win the
war at any cost, and now, with vic
tory secure, the American people stand
ready to complete the job assigned 10
incorporating the money necessary
TO win the victory.

GARY LINE I
MAY RUN HERE
Proposition Is Laid Before Com
mittee of the Common
Council.
From Milwaukee Journal:

From Milwaukee Journal:
Possibility of the extension Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Gary belt line to Milwaukee from
Rockford, ILL.,, thru Beloit and
GAINESVILLE, was presented to the
common council railroads and
bridges committee by Frank
Barry, traffic secretary of the AS
sociation Of Commerce. This
road has been in operation be-
tween Delmar and Rockford for
eight years. It is now planning
to extend to Milwaukee and
Gary, completing the original
scheme, Mr.. Barry said.
This line would be important
to Milwaukee, Mr.. Barry said,
because it would connect Mil
waukee with the Illinois Central
and other lines to the south and
southwest, thus avoiding the
delay of going thru Chicago. He
said southbound traffic from Mil
waukee was neglected because
the roads claim the business does
not pay.
Extension of the Gary line hsa
been indorsed by the Association
Of Commerce, Chamber of Com
merce, City club. Real Estate as
sociation and public land commits
Sion," said Mr.. Barry. "Our in
formation is that plenty of land
for right of way and terminals
IS available in the southwest part
Of the city. A survey, which
would show a feasible route and
The price of the land, would pro-
badly cost $4,000. The city will
probably looked to for the initial
support"
Chairman Mckinley said the
common council would undoubt-
adly do whatever was asked to
support the plan, but said some
assurance would be expected
that the road would actually be
built before any large amount
would be spent. Members of the
committee said the council had
granted right of way through
Mitchell park, but nothing had
come of it, because the influence
of the roads entering Milwaukee
was powerful enough to block
financing Of other lines.
Mr.. Barry said the 500 line
was also considering an exten-
sion into Milwaukee from Muk-
wonago. This would connect
Milwaukee directly with the Ca
madam Pacific system, but was
not as important as the Gary
line"

BADGER BOX NOT
T0BE rebuilt

The people of Grand Rapids
will be disappointed to learn that
the Badger Box & Lumber Co.,
will not rebuild their factory here
which was recently destroyed by
fire.
Last week, J. S. Thompson, the
manager, made a business trip
to Black River Falls. While there
a friend suggested that he re-
vive his company and operate in
that city, saying that the busi-
ness men there he was sure
would literally subscribe to stock
in the company. Mr.. Thompson
told them to make him a PROPOSE
ton which they hastened to do.
The mayor Of Black River Falls
and a delegation Of business men
visited Grand Rapids to investi-
gate the old plant. They went
home and called a public meeting
to which Mr.. Thompson was in
vited. The result was that 2
new company was organized and
in an hours time 100000 worth
of stock was subscribed by 10
cal citizens. The company was
called the Badger Box Mfg. Co.
and is capitalized for $4,000, all
stock fully subscribed.
The erection of spacious build
ings to house the plant will be-
gin at Black River Falls at once
and the plant will be put in op-
Grafton as quickly as possible.
There is an abundance Of box
timber about Black River Falls
which is not being utilized and
can be purchased very reason
ably while labor conditions are
much more advantageous than
in Grand Rapids.
Mr.. Thompson has long been
connected with the manufacture
ing interests of this city and IS
highly respected by the commun-
ity, where he has many warm
personal friends. We are sorry
| to see him leave Grand Rapids
where he still has a saw mill.

Saves and Buys and Holds Her Invest
ments-Estate Grows by Accu-
muIating Safe Bonds.

This is the story of Miss Mary E.
Hal1am who for forty-five years pre-
ceding her death worked in a Chicago
department store:
When Miss HaIlam began to earn
her living she had the same qualifica-
tiOns for success that everyone has
average health and average inteIli-
gence. Capital she had none. But
she he'd something else as good if not
better-an appreciation Of the advan-
tageS of thrift and an answering am
biTiOn to succeed.
Departments ore 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 specuIated. 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 $70,O00
Had Miss Hallam, during the earlier
years Of her progress toward pros
perity, had the advantage of investing
in Liberty bonds, her pace would have
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 d comparatively low rate Of
interest. But she succeeded in spite
of that.
American men and women, starting
out tOdaA, have a great advantage.
The war has for the frst time since
1865 made government bonds of the
United States ayaiIabIs 60 the small
investor. Before 1877 the small gov
ernment issues were snapped up by
the banks for their own special uses.
But now Liberty bonds may be bought
by everyone and at a 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 time
the nation will have contracted a float
ing debt of more than S5000,O0O.O 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.

STRUCK down
BY AUTOMOBILE

Richard Hougen, the six year
old son of DR.. and Mrs. Edward
Hougen, was run down by an au-
tomobile Thursday noon, while
crossing Second street near w.
c. WeisePs store. The Ford au-
to truck was driven by Edgar T.
Kellogg. The boys head was
badly bruised and cut and blood
was oozing from his nose and
mouth. He was picked up un-
conscious and taken to River
view Hospital, where an exam
inatiOn was made and later TAX
en- home.
'Dickie" was on his way home
from the Howe school building
at the noon hour to join his mo-
ther at his fathers office when
he received his injuries. Just
why he attempted to make the
crossing at this point is not
known to the writer. Everyone
will be anxious to know that his
injuries will not be serious. He
never regained consciousness un-
til 3 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t
certainly was a close call and no
blame is laid to Edgar Kellogg
as the accident was unavoidable
under the circumstances as the
boy attempted to make the cross
ing just back of a wagon and
could not see the approaching
automobile travelling in the op-
posite direction.
