When the house Is ripped from stem
TO stern and back in the garden the
fires burn and at night you trip and
stumble and fall on the painters truck
scattered thru the hall, when the
sitting rooms bare as baby's face IS
and the dining rooms filled with
dozen book cases, when you sit or lie
wherever you're able and eat standing
up at the kitchen table. when you
hike for home with an aching head
and find all the pictures piled up on
your bed. when from cellar to garnet
amid the waste, the whole mouse
stinks Of varnish and paste. when the
paper is lost with the evening news
and you mislay your shirt and lose
vour shoes, when your bedroom
windows are open, damned. and the
bathrooms as cold as billy be damned
when the porch is Uttered with pans
and jugs, and a coon in the front yaru
is beating rugs, when you prowl the
house like a hungry cat. eat what you
get and little of that, when she glares
from a window at you in the street
and orders you fiercely to clean your
feet and you give attention to what
she said and don't dare open your
ding blamed head-why it's spring

SAYINGS OF UREY WEISSMANN

Some latter day historians have
attempted to rob General Sherman
of he honor of saying, War is hell
However most people would rather
credit him with the remark than
any of the other Civil War errors,
because he certainly practiced what
he preached.

medal. Children then brought bask-
cts of flowers and painting was un-
yelled and presented to the unit to be
loaned to various communities until it
will finally be placed in the Metropol-
titan Museum of Arts in New York
city. The painting is by M. Masse,
distinguished. painter, who was
present on this occasion, and for
which he received 1000 francs or
about $3.50, from the people of that
region. The unit also presented the
mayor with tortoise shell cane tell
ing him he could use it to walk over
to America, where he would be most
cordially welcomed. The mayors
gift to the unit was steel engraving
of the battle of the Marine, also
drawn by Masse.
The reports of the chief of staff,
which are sent to the Woman's Medi-
cal Journal, are full Of experiences of
a most varied nature. One young man
was brought into the hospital to die,
having his skull badly crushed, and
when he died he left a 17-year-old
wife and nine months baby. The
Cure of Luzancy buried him, and
himself paid for the tolling of the
bell, though the boy was a Protestant.
One midnight fire broke out ire a
house where lay the dead body of an
aged woman. A call was made at the
hospital for a stretcher, and while the
villagers with bucket brigade from
the Marine worked putting out the fire
two of the hospital doctors like true
heroines entered the burning building
and carried out the body, taking it to
the hospital morgue.
DR.. Fairbanks is now in London on
furlough, visiting her brother, Rob
ert N. Fairbanks, but expects to re-
turn to her work next month. The
work of the unit will then be at Bla-
rencourt where German prisoners
have erected barracks containing rs
beds for the use of the American
medical unit She expects to re-
main with the unit until September
when she will return to st. Johnsbury
and resume her practice

HOW WAR BONDS
RISE IN Value
History of All Loans For a Cen
tury Shows That Advance Has
Always Come With Peace.

Will history repeat itself? That
question is in the minds of many bond
buyers these days. Records show that
tho prices of bon1s were way dowr
during war times of the past hui
soon after peace was declared ad-
vanced rapidly
During Napoleonic wars prices Of
English per cent consols ranged
from 81 IL, the high, and 81 IL, the
low. in 1914 to 90 7-S, the high and
"a IA, the low, in 1924 During thiF
same period French 5 per cent
rertes rose from 50, the high, in 1914
TO 1O4.8 in 1924 They also went as
low as As in 1914.
French 5 per cent rentes during
the Franco Prussian war ranged in
price from ISL to 1878 and 5O,S to
Sill
United States bonds during the
Civil war sold for IS ga. the high.
and SO, tho low, in 1901, but from
then on they had practically a steady
rise until 1873. at which time the
high was 1873 18 and the low Ill IL.

ADVERTISING WILL
PUT over THE W
The Newspapers The Greatest
Asset in Distributing the Lib
crty Loan.

The newspapers will be counted
upon TO put over the Victorious
Fifth" Liberty Loan just as they did
its four predecessors.
Prominent newspaper advertisers
in many parts of the country have
recently, in response to inquiries from
officials of the United States treas
ury, declared almost unanimously
that they would prefer to again buy
newspaper space and give it to the
government rather than to resort to
any new scheme for putting across
this last chapter of the war finance
program.
The talk of dumping it on the banks
is mistaken and unwise in the ex-
IRENE.
1t would be mighty bad thing for
business in general if the banks were
compelled to absorb this fifth issue Of
the Liberty Loan. y
1t would mean that if the funds Of
the banks were tied up in government
securities the banks would have no
money to loan to business houses for
the expansion of their activities.
The Victorious Fifth" will be
taken by the people and newspaper
space mus be used to aid in this pur-
pose.
The Victorious Fifth loan must be
sold both on motives Of patriotism and
as wise and profitable investment
that will involve an intensive cam.
paign of education.
When leading newspaper sdverti-
sers and the directors OF advertising
in the federal reserve districts re-
Gently held a council on the loan of
1918, men who paid for space in 9TH
er loan drives were almost unit in
declaring that they stood ready to re-
peat their orders.
Three lines of appeals will be dom
inant in the Fifth Liberty Loan.
The first Of these is Finishing the
Job" The argument VIII be made that
Uncle Sam must be kept in funds I'M
til the Job over there is definitely
done, ana until provision Is made 1of
the proper care of all the sick and
wounded
The second topic will be Peace
and Prosperity" This takes account
of not only the obligations but the op-
portunities of the nation in our new
position of world leadership.
Finally, the theme of investment"
in the safest security on earth issued
for short term and this exceptionally
attracts to buyers.

SAFETY BONDS
VS.. WILD CATS
Buy Victorious Fifth" Liberty
Loan Bonds to Keep, and
Avoid Regrets,

About the saddest thing in the world
is to undergo self-denial for years, to
save money and then see the rainy
day fund" wiped out by the failure Of
some wild cat" scheme.
This happens every day. widows
and Woodworking men are credulous
They listen to the oily promises of
get rich quick" promoters and hand
over savings to slick statesmen prom
Using impossible profits,
And when the bolt falls out of the
clear sky the careful savings OF years
disappear. THE Bonanza Co. has gone
up" Then there is nothing to do but
begin all over
Whatever the temptation may have
reen in the past to do this thing. there
IS no excuse for it now Hundreds
of thousands of experienced publicity
and investment men have been ri
work nearly two years, under the All
thority of the Government, educating
millions Of people in the art of safe
investing More people are saving
money today than ever before in the
history of the world. Literally mil
lions have been taught to buy Gov
eminent bonds.
The Government will offer another
chance to "get in on the ground floor"
during the spring when the Fifth Lib
erty Loan is offered
The money will be spent to pay the
cost of maintaining and restoring to
their homes the valiant soldiers who
have won for America the world
greatest victory. The bills must be
paid and the American people must
pay them. The bonds will provide the
funds.
To buy them when they are offered
everybody should begin saving now.
Set aside all the money you can
spare and have it in the bank for
the initial payment on Fifth Liberty
Bonds.

HOW AMERICANS
STAY ON THE Job
The Victorious Fifth" Loan Will
Prove That We Garry Out a
Task, However Great.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will give the
army of patriotic buyers the chance
which all good Americans welcome.
IT will let the millions of buyers OF
bonds prove that they are stayers
They will show that they are deter
mined to finish job to the very end,
even SO great job as world war
In April or Mey of this year the
time comes for the last chapter. The
Government cannot for moment drop
the great task upon which we entered
in April. 1917. until firm and lasting
peace is secured throughout the world.
1t cannot stop until the Armies of
Occupation are brought home. Untll
then the Treasury Department must
borrow from the people to finance the
expense of the war establishment At
ter that our expense will come from
taxes.
The reserves at home whose dollars
have fought with the men in the field
must mobilize now for rehabilitation
of the troops. They have stood by the
nation in time of stress. The critical
period Is past. but the work is yet to
be completed Completing it rests on
the VICTORIOUS FIFTH Loan.
The responsibilities of the nation.
like It's hopes, are as great as they
were before the arrnistice brought the
end of the war
Staying to thu end means taking up
the Fifth Loan just as Pershing's men
fought through the Argonne Forest.
It is backing the Government to the
finish in the war loan that crystallizes
peace and prosperity.
