THINK STRAIGHT

This is q time for straight thinking.
Make sure the other fellow is not talk.
ing drivel. Analyze his thought. don't
follow it. He may be suffering with
phraseologi: hemorrhage. 1t is cpl
demic nowadays like influenza and
much more seriQ,1s.
For instance i'll regard to the Vic
tory Liberty Loan and these fellows
who thumb their vests, frown wisely.
and say Let the banks do it. They
are bursting with money" They are
talking drivel 1t sounds fine but it
isn't good sense. Nor Is it good
economics, which amounts to the same
thing.
If the government thought it was
wise to "let the banks do it, the gov
eminent would let them do it. There
would be no Victory Liberty Loan in
the popular sense. But the govern
nent knows better than to let the
banks do 1t.
This is the period of reconstruction
right now. 1t is period of many
possibilities economically. One posi-
bility is industrial depression. One
preventative OF industrial depression
Is plenty of money at favorable rates
of interest to stimulate private enter
prise. That means our banks must
not be clogged with government Sc
curities. 1t means that we can't af
ford to "let the banks do it," The
people must do lido it from theil
earnings. present and future.

AS America saves from this day on
SO shall she grow in benign power and
in the eyes OF mankind. "A bank &C.
count for every American citizen"
should be one of our national slogans.
The Thrift and War Savings Stamp
idea is freighted with mighty change
for the better in our national life.
The Thrift Stamp is backed by the
United States government. Without
doubt it is the greatest investment
ever offered and 1t is in such a form
that every American, big and little.
can take advantage o. it.

played a game that would do credit
to many college player. The final
score was 81 to 10 in favor of Wash

beat each other on their home

should play a third game on neutral
