The Guns Have Ceased Firing, But the Bills That Kept
Them Firing Are Still To Be Met

realized when the refuse of war has been washed away. These bene-
fits cannot be enjoyed until the debts contracted during the war are
met Buying Victory Notes means securing this peace and pros
perhy in the shortest possible time. Are they worth anything to
you as an American citizen? If SO, buy them now.
Do you realize that before the guns ceased firing over there that
$4,000 of our brightest and our best had given up their lives? Can
you think OF those graves and then refuse to meet your war obiga-
tons by refusing or neglecting to buy your Victory Notes? You
say you "simply can't" What would have happened to you, Ameri-
can citizen, if the boys at Chateau Therry, or in the Forest of Ar
gonne had said, 1--WE simply cant?" Every man in khaki did his
duty and did it for you. Will you lay down now or will you finish
the job? Will you be the thoroughbred dog that never quits until
he wins or he dies, or would you rather be classed with the mongrel
that yelps and quits when the going gets a bit roughp
The time is here to show whether you are a REAL American or
a parasite living on and clingng to the real article.
Germany shrugged her shoulders and said, "The Americans will
not raise this loan because the people are no longer carried on by
the war excitement" Has Germany sized us up rightly? A thousand
times NO. We must, we will raise our quotas, and more, and throw
the lie in Germanys teeth.
There were 100000 men in our army when the armistice was
signed, and 100000 more in our navy. They are being demobilzed
and sent home, but it means a terrific expense. The money that
was spent in beating Germany to her knees during the last six
months of the war is the money that must now be raised through
the Victory Liberty Loan. The Government has but two ways of
getting it-either by selling these Victory Loan Notes or by direct
taxation. Which would you rather have, a tax receipt or a Victory
Note +? It's up to you.

Your Last Chance
Get your savings account to work now and have it earn 4 "a
per cent backed by the best security in the world. Loan the best
government on earth all you can and help bring back the boys; help
pay the doctor and the hospital bills for the boys who fought for
you; help pay the war bills.
It's your last chance
There was a race on between the President of the great United
States and one Won Hindenburg; and Wilson won. But he won
simply because America did not haggle over pennies when the free
of the World and the lives of thousands of its sons were in
volved. Why haggle now? Dig down into your jeans, your tomato
cans, or your savings accounts and pay the debt you owe, the debt
YOU incurred and pledged yourself to stand for when the first hand
full of American soldiers were called together to start the "6nish of
the war for democracy"
Every Eureka County soldier is requested to wear his uniform
at the Victory Day celebration, and to be the guest of the Eureka
County Council of Defense at the War Play to be given in the after
noon.
