FINISH THE JOB"
VICTORY SLOGAN
WAR OVER BUT NOT PAID FOR,
SAYS THE COUNTY
CHAIRMAN
Women Workers in Loan Drive to
Meet in COlvilIe, Saturday,
April II

"Finish the job. Do it cheer
fully is to be the slogan of the
Victory Loan campaign to begin
April p. G. w. Peddycord and
Mrs. l.. c. Jesseph, county chair
men of the Liberty Loan workers
in Stevens county, returned the first
Of the week from the state meet
ing OF district and county chairmen
which was held in Seattle last Fri
day and Saturday. They both re-
port interesting sessions and an en-
thusiasm among the workers which
is bound to carry the campaign to
a successful close.
"The war is over," said Mr. Ped
dycord in an interview upon his re-
turn from the conference. "but it is
not paid for. Our country must not
repudiate its debts. 1t was our war
and we must pay for it now. The
loan worker' will have more diff
cult time of it to sell bonds now
that the war is over, because the
public mind is not so receptive as
before, but this campaign must go
through. The terms are more
liberal than ever before. One tenth
may be paid down and 20fa each
month for five months, giving the
subscriber until November for final
| payment"
/ That the government is going to
set aside one billion of this loan for
the purpose of guaranteeing two
dollar wheat to the farmer, was
point emphasized by Chairman Ped
| dycord
"All workers must get together
in this last drive" he continued" "and
we are going to take no refusals
from those leaders who wish to
drop out on this, their last oppor-
tunity to help in such a manner We
must not fall down and we viii have
some rousing meetings to give the
public the idea of this Victory cam
paign."
Mr.. Peddycord has appointed Miss
Violet j. Hallowell of Colville coun-
ty chairman of community singing
activities in the coming drive. Miss
Hallowell has been an exponent of
community singing in small towns
and has done much to further in
| terest in this movement, so Mr.. Ped
dycord's selection of chairman is
| considered most fitting.
Women Have Big Part
County Minute Women are to be
called upon to do their final bit in
the coming Victory Loan campaign
and Mrs. L. c. Jesseph, county chair
man, has come back from the
Seattle meeting with ideas of orga-
nization and methods for the work
of the women in this county. Mrs.
Jesseph has called county confer
ence to be held in Colville, Saturday,
April IL, and hopes to have all local
councillors present. Subjects dis
cussed at Seattle included, accord
ing to Mrs. Jesseph, organization,
coordination with mems committees,
publicity, children's original Victory
Loan parades, character of selling
appeal, quotas, booths, bank and
street sales, house-to-house can
vases, Victory Loan medals, speak
| ers, etc,
"All workers in the coming drive
are to receive the Victory Loan
medals made from captured German
cannon" states Mrs. Jesseph, "but
| those who worked in previous drives
who do not come to the front in the
Victory Loan will not receive them.
This county had about 300 women
workers in the former campaigns
and it would be splendid if all of
them would work together in this
last drive and receive the war trophy
medals, which will be highly valued
in years to come.
Characteristic Of the meeting at
Seattle was the spirit of harmony
and coordination between men and
women workers. The men are more
than anxious for the help of the
women committees and give them a
large share of the credit for sue
cess in past drives" said Mrs. Jes-
seph.
