What The Success Of The
Victory Loan Means To You.

uIOAVb 6VASs svlvUOO ~ sVU'
Some men are saying that with the
incentive of emotional patriotism
lacking the public will not buy Vic
tory Loan Bonds. An analysis o.
this attitude reveals the fact thai
men who make such statements have
in mind the sacrifices they have al
ready made-the sacrifices of taxes
paid and bonds already purchased
But what are these when measured
by what has been endured in Fland-
ers and France.
The banks will take the bonds
in any event." they say. Yes, the
banks will take the bonds willingly.
The terms of the loan as announced,
offer an extremely attractive short
term investment.
Attractive as the loan may be, if
purchased by the banks without. the
whole-souled support of the American
public the result will be detrimental
to business.
The working man, the employer
of labor and the investor all will suf-
fer.
Why? Because the banks exist
primarily to extend credit to the
business community. The banks
cannot buy billions of dollars of Vic
tory Loan Bonds and still continue
to loan money in sufficient quantities
and at fair rate to the business man.
The purchasing power of the mon
ey you withhold will decrease, be-
cause your bank must buy your share
of bonds. causing additional initiation
of currency, more credit liability and
higher prices.
Higher prices for everything-that
phrase has been nightmare to the
average citizen for sometime past.
II you buy your share of these Vic
tory bonds you will aid in lowering
the cost of living. If you refuse to
buy you aid in advancing the cost of
living to a still higher pland.
Think this matter over while the

the College Journal, the students
averred that many young men "pre-
ferred for all practical purposes to
take their degrees from inferior col
leges which were better advertised to
the outside world by those handling
the bat and ore than those thumbing
Liddell and Scott and Forcellini."

inevitable that aQuatics should form
