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.
1t 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 a job as world war.
In April or May Of this year the
time comes for the last chapter. The
Government cannot for a 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 Until
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 tn 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 ~ they
were before the armistice brought the
end Of the war
Staying to tn, end means taking W
the Fifth Loan Just as Pershing's men
fought through the Argonne Forest
1t Is backing the Government to the
finish in the war loan that crystallizel
peace and prosperity.

was to make marked dollar bill dis

he did successfully.
"That marked dollar bill will be
found in the vest pocket of that gen.

with his magic wand at Sam Lawslng.

Island Pond will certainly have an
honor roll of men who have served in
the great war just closed, of which
it will ever be proud Two of her
sons vahe made the supreme sacrifice,
Pvt. Claude Foss and Pvt Napolean
Castonguay. Two of her sons have
been wounded, Pvt. Barnes and Pvt.
Levi Castonguay, who is now at home
getting strength from a wound that
came fearfuly near being fatal.
Others have been through the trying
ordeal of severe service and battle.
Probably Pvt. Castonguay has expert
enced what no other of our boys has
A piece of shrapnel pierced his
lung, he was carried six miles on
stretcher. What those boys have en-
dured we know but little. But when
you read the commentator of off
GERS in the one word "excellence" in
their discharge papers, you know
they met the test. No town can do
enough to honor these boys and the
Herald believes Island Pond will have
a memorial on which can be placed
this honor roll of sons in this great
war. A memorial fitting to the
great honor these boys have brought
to the home town; fitting to the ap-
probation and pride we should show
in their service.

Out of the military and political wreck
Germany so far has zealously and successfully
guarded this secret No doubt it has others
securely locked away. There is only one pos
sib1e explanation, and that is a popular hope
which did not pass away with the old form
Of government, Of one day being in position
TO use these devices to win back what has been
lost
Germany has come to the peace table, not
penitent and sincerely promising to do better,
but With hate and revenge in it's heart and with
gun in its pocket Its diplomatic practices
are not unlike its military tactics when its front
ranks went forward with hands up and I'M
armed only to lie down suddenly revealing
the machine guns ready for action just behind
Germany deserves no sympathy. 1t has got
to go through at least the forms of doing pen
ance. Later there will be ways to Judge of
its sincerity and then it will be time to dis
cuss amelioration Of conditions.

Real Highway Progress.

Farmers living near "seep holes in roads
much used by automobiles have had a most
profitable spring. Never before have condi-
tons been SO favorable for turning an honest
penny by pulling stalled motors out of the
mud with teams. 1t has become what might
be called fixed industry in certain exception
ally favored localities, the classification being
used advisedly more appropriate than either
"commerce"zoS transportation"
This resignation to the necessity for pull
ing stalled vehicles out of mudho1es does not
denote much of an advance in our conception
OF highway ideals. They used to do it with
oxen. We now employ horses. That, of course,
is something.
An exception to this rule of backwardness
must be cited in favor of Black Hawk town
ship, which in one case has reached the stage
OF paying the farmer who assumes the rescue
role out of the public road fund. 1t is not
stated whether the work was let out under
contract, by the day, by the month on
piece work basis, but in any case it is a sim

Same Old Game.

The row between conservative and pro-
gressive Republicans over senate committee
and chairmanships offers nothing new. 1t is
political in it's nature and the motives are not
hard TO discern. They are the same motives
that have been actuating others in contests
of this kind as long as there has been senate.
The big noise is being made almost exclu-
siveIy by members who see nothing in reach
for themselves. Senator Cummins was little
restless, so they handed him the place as
president pro tempore. That is expected to
make a good Indian of him, though it failed
to work in the case of Senator Hiram John
son. Johnson, however, has his eye on the
White house and could not afford to be di-
verified from his duty by a relatively minor
consideration.
Senator Cummins probably will now feel
more confidence in the safety of the country,
even with Senator Penrose chairman of the
finance committee and Senator Warren chair
man of the appropriations committee.

he specify a certain time then?

to ask to take a girl any place after

girl to ask a young man to call
upon her, even if she has been in
troduced to him. unless he shows
some inclination to do so. Do you?

(2) When he leaves she should
say, Come again."
