PETITIONS APPROVED FOR
ANOTHER MILE OF PAVEMENT
Second Street to Be Paved to Sunny
side; Sherman From Seventh
Street to Railroad.

Already the original paving pro-
gram has been extended to the resi-
dence district.
At the council meeting Tuesday ev-
ening petitions were approved for
paving Second street west from Grant
avenue to the edge of Sunnyside ad-
dition and Sherman avenue from the
railroad to Seventh street.
The total amounts to IL blocks or
almost a mile of paving.
And we hear rumors Of more peti-
tions to be filed at an early date.
Some of the property owners on
North Kansas avenue are beginning
to make a noise, while there is con-
siderable agitation for paving Third
street from the Eagle grocery to the
Vickers Grain and Seed Company,
thence north to Sixth, passing the
court house and the new Liberal Hos
pital.
While neither of these movements
have assumed definite form there is
plenty of agitation along this line.

SEWARD COUNTY QUOTA
is SET AT $66,950
County Chairman c. E. Woods Says

"Raise it; why sure We'll raise it,"

Loan, Monday afternoon.

said Mr.. Woods in reply to ques-
ton, "but the money must be raised
and with this quota and everybody
doing their part as in the past, it
can be done, and Seward county can
not afford not to do it."
According to the message received
by Mr.. Woods the bonds will run four
years and bear Az per cent interest.
This makes them a good investment
for the man with a small amount of
money as well as those who seek in
vestments.
The stage is all set and everything
fast shaping up for the last bond
drive, and it is expected to make
quick work of it if weather conditions
are favorable.

TENTH DISTRICT READY
FOR VICTORY CAMPAIGN
Organization of Loyal Workers
Eager to Get Into the Three
Weeks Subscription Drive.

The campaign for subscriptions Il
the Victory Liberty Loan, the last O
the big Government war fnanc,
drives and the one that is to finisl
the job, is scheduled to open on Mon
day, April 21. The campaign is t.
last three weeks, May 10 being sci
as the closing date.
The campaign opening will find the
splendid organization of loyal work
ers in all the states of the Tenth
Federal Reserve District ready and
eager to apply themselves to the
great task of putting over this Dis
trict's quota, as they have put it over
in previous Liberty Loans.
Assuming that the size of the
Loan is to be $4,000, 900, 900 and the
distribution of sales of the Short
Term Notes among the twelve Fed
eral Reserve Districts is to be the
same as in the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign, this districts quota Of the
Victory Liberty Loan will be $780,
100000, or 4.33 1-3 per cent of the
total of the loan.
The Tenth Federal Reserve Dis
trict over-subscribed its quota of the
Fourth Liberty Loan by making the
subscriptions $295,95O,3O0, being
1883 per cent on the $260,000,-
600 quota.
1t is up to the people of this dis
trict not only to put over the full
quota but to over-subscribe the quota
of the Victory Liberty Loan.
Secretary Glass, in an address in
Baltimore Thursday night, said of
the Victory Liberty Loan:
"We are about to enter upon the
last Liberty Loan campaign. We call
it the Victory Loan, and it is that
But like to reflect that it is more !;
it is a thanksgiving loan. It is a
loan that should find lodgment not
only in the minds, but in the hearts
of the American people.
"The war is over in a sense and
the reactionary spirit is abroad.
Men think they can give their patriot
ism rest. l decline to believe our
people are Indifferent to the COM
mitments of the Nation. Four Lib
erty Loans have gone over the top
and nothing can shake my belief that
they will add the capital stone and
put the last over the top"

"PRICE OF PEACE" FILM
GREAT WAR EDUCATOR
Will Be Shown at Majestic Theatre,
Free to Public, April 22. Matinee
at 3 O'clock, Evening 7;45.

"The Price of Peace" official war
film that is now being exhibited in
many cities and towns of the Tenth
Federal Reserve District is attracting
more attention than any war film, due
largely to the fact that it shows the
American Expeditionary Forces in
action and tells better than anything
else how the victory was won.
"The Price of Peace" contains the
pictorial record of the first American
attack at Chateau Thierry, and the
spectator sees American soldiers
drive back the Germans when it
seemed almost impossible to check
their advance. This picture also
shows a spectacular air battle in
which the German aeroplane is de-
stroyed, and this particular feature
affords an opportunity to see Ger
man aviator in action. A field piece
and its crew are shown on the
screen and moment later it is COM
pletely wiped out by an exploding
she'll from the enemy's gun. At the
end of the picture the American SOL
der is registered" keeping watch on
the Rhine.
Activities of the army, navy and
air forces are shown in the "Price
of Peace" The American soldier is
seen from the time of his enlistment
in the service until he crosses the
Rhine. It shows his training prepara-
tory to going to France, his embarka-
ton, life on the transport, his de-
barkation, and then he is shown in
actual battle for peace. Because the
men who fall are really dead is why
1.-THE Price of Peace" is considered
one of the greatest spectacles in the
history Of motion pictures.
This wonderful series of war pic
lures is being shown by motion pic
ture men cooperating with the Vic
tory Liberty Loan Organization, free
to the public. Ten sets of the film
are now in use in the Tenth District
and Mrs. Fuller reports that as many
requests for its use as can be sup
piled are coming in from county
chairmen of the women's organiza-
ton.
Wolley's orchestra will furnish
music.

THE VICTORY LOAN

Within a few days you will be
called upon to redeem the pledges
of the Nation thru the purchase of
bonds of the Victory Loan.
When the United States cast her
lot with the Allies against Germany
it was for a purpose. Not of secur-
ing territory or material benefits, but
to help in exterminating militarism.
Men there were in plenty but food,
clothing, munitions, ships, and q
thousand and one things demanded
money.
The Government provided these
things. Without credit the equip
ping and arming of the army would
have been impossible. So the Nation
went into debt to do it. The ma
terial has been use and the glorious
result is known the world over.
America furnished the straw that
broke the Kaiser's back.
America makes no claim of win
ming the war, yet no one disputes
the fact that America made it pos.
sible for the Allies to win. Our men
our money and our effort put the big
deal across.
Now it is about all over.
There remains in Europe a large
army to be fed, clothed and eventu
ally transported back to America tt
their homes and their families.
Money must be raised to bring th'
boys back, pay them their meagr'
salaries, and settle the debts in
Cured in equipping them.
The purpose Of the Victory LOAF
is to raise this money. Just one NOR,
dig and it's over. Don't get craml
in your check hand. Don't take neal
as much nerve as facing a Hun ma
chine gun nest.
