American hunitism On ths
Way Brought War to End.

The war supplies that have beea do

used were what actually brought ths
war to the sudden end 20 much car.
nsr than bad been expected. accord.
Ing 10 Lewis B. Franklin, director Of
the war boan organization for the
United States.
"Those are the things for which
we are going to pay with the Fifth
and last-Liberty Loan Mr.. Frank
lin explained at meeting of Liberty
Loan chairmen.
"That is what mean when l say
that this money you are going to raise
through the things already bought
with the credit of it's paying for the
saving of a half million American
lives.
"The speed and bravery of the
American dough boy affected the
German on the front line more than it
did the men at German general head
quarters; but the fact that America
had ten tons of mustard gas ready for
shipment in 1919, to every ton that
Germany had; the fact that we were
going TO have a tank on the front line
for every rs fee Of the line in 1919;
the fact that we would have thou
sands of batteries Of guns where we
did not have a single one in 1873
those facts had an influence on the
German General Staff.
And, far from that money, those
millions and billions of dollars wasted
in an unnecessary preparation, feel
that the fact that the money was spent
and that that enormous output Of
munitions was ready, was the con-
trolling factor in the weakening of the
German General Staff, and that it
caused their message to the Kaiser
that they were beaten, and that he
must sue for peace. And the way see
1t is that this money, instead of being
wasted, can be written down as hav-
ing saved the lives Of hundreds of
thousands of American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year.
II do not believe that we are going
to be troubled with this loan. look
for at least 100000 subscribers to

Fifth" Liberty Loan Just as they did
its four predecessors.
Prominent newspaper advertisers
in many parts Of the country have
recently, in response to inquiries from
officials of the United States treas
ury, declared almost unanimously
that they would prefer to again buy
newspaper space and give 1t to the
any new scheme for putting across
this last chapter of the war finance
program.
The talk Of dumping it on the banks
is mistaken and unwise in the ex-
treme.
1t would be mighty bad thing for
business in general if the banks were
compelled to absorb this fifth issue of
the Liberty Loan
1t would mean that If the funds of
the banks were tied up in government
securities the banks would have no
money to loan to business houses for
the expansion of their activities.
The Victorious Fifth" will be
taken by the people and newspaper
space mus be used to aid in this pur-
pose
The victorious Fifth" loan must be
sold both on motives of patriotism and
as a wise and profitable investment
that will involve an intensive cam

ATTENTION TAX PAYERS.

1t is drawing near to June ! on
which date the law imposes an
additional 1 per cent penalty for
delay in paying taxes. Also June
1 is about the last chance to pay
taxes as tax sales sfert on June
9, and as there is a very large
amount of the taxes still unpaid,
in the short time that now remains
it will be almost impossible to wait
on all even though they rush in
every day until the 9th, so prop
erty owners should give the matter
immediate attention as tax sale
penalties are quite severe. Per-
sonal taxes are also due and must
be paid now or personal property
will be levied On and sold for pay
ment. The law makes it the duty
Of the county treasurer to do this
and the county treasurer is under
a heavy bond to compel him to do
his duty even though it is IN
pleasant 1t is useless to argue
and dispute with the clerks at the
tax window. They do not make
the assessment or the tax books
and are not allowed to make
changes, but must collect the tax
just as 1t appears on the collectors
books plus penalties provided by
law.

County Treasurer.

ages that have kept US apart unrIl
the great war.
Lets give the general welfare of
the people the same sort of a
chance. Let's bring together the
powers that make for generosity
and kindness and righteouness as
the powers of prejudice and mean
ness and graft come together. Then
give US two sessions to talk over the
needs of this town. We shall not be.
vague after that. 1t isn't so much
that the town doesn't need anything.
The difficulty is rather to choose
out one or two of the larger needs
to concentrate upon.
Way down below the surface
lies value in this movement great
er than the building of sewers, or
the employing of nurses, or the
opening of the purse strings for the
education of poor boys, or the CIV
ing into the lives of all the people
the beauty of wholesome play as il
Illustrated in our army and navy.
1T is the value of having the peo-
pie meet together and to know each
other and come to trust each other.
The American people are all right.
They have their faults. But it is not
half so much their faults that make
them mistrust each other as this
misunderstanding of each other.
"One of the great losses of these
later days has been the passing of
old fashioned neighborliness. You
have felt it. Everyone of us has. our
working together for the Red Cross,
the Liberty loan, the welfare OF the
troops, the care of the wounded
this gave US back some of that
neighborliness.
Let US keep what we gained of it
for the good of this town. We shall
not fear bolshevism from those we
know as friends. We shall not lack
for social conscience among en-
ployers, or for loyalty among work
men, when they know each other
and esteem each other. Socialism,
anarchy, lawlessness, rape, boil
shevism are conceivable only
among classes that do not know
each other.
"Such knowing of each other,
such neighborliness such brother
hood, are the very essence of
democracy. If it fails, democracy
fails. If it succeeds it is the very
spirit of the Master at work among
men,"
