Benjamin Franklin Produced And Paid For First
War Loan Ad In l755 To Secure Horses and Wagons
Bv HOWARD Il. Y

To the countless other virtues
and accomplishments Of Benja-
min Franklin must be added the
distinction o. not only having
produced but o. having produced
at his own expense, and eistrib-
uted, Americas sirst War Loan
advertisement. Thus. one OF the
men who did mach to help Amer
lea achieve those blessings for
which we are fighting today be-
came the author OF our first eWar
Loan" poster as well as D finan-
cial contributor to the cause.
The event occurred in 1875,
during the campaign OF General
Braddock against the French and
Indians in toe West. Brad6ock
was in dire need o. horses and
wagons to haul supplies. He had
appealed to the colonists in vain,
so he sought and secured Frank
Inns help. The first war Loan"
poster was the result Of Brad
docks request
It is recorded that results were
obtained in the form Of $50 Wag-
ons and 259 horses, all Of which
were obligated to Braddoek for
the duration of the campaign.
In 1862, while the nation was
in the throes Of civil war the
then Secretary of the Treasury,
Salmon p. Chase, was faced with
the necessity OF again borrowing
from the people for the purpose
of financing a war. And again
advertising played a large part
in the success of such efforts.
Advertise Civil War Issue
Chase was a finaneier Of con-
siderable note. II was al his sug-
gestion that a national banking
system was organized. The sys-
tenn secured an immediate mar
ket for Government bonds. so it
was through this channel that
Chase decided to float his war
loan issue, He requested the
banks to advertise the bonds to
the general public.
The advertisements appeared.
in the daily press, but they were,
for the most part, rosters of the
officers and statements Of con-
dition Of the banks with merely
one or two lines OF small type at
the bottom telling of the Govern
ment's war bond issue.
The plan. Of course failed.
Secretary chase's next move
was the appointment Of W. z.
Shattuck, a former Ohio publish
er, as a special agent to put over
the loan. Shattuck's first efforts

VETERANS GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

| lull, and you may note that they
 don't seem to be looking at you.
 This is easily explained. The pam f phlet or the article they read said. Don't stare at the returning vet
 eran. It will make him feel like an
 object of curiosity" So they may
 carry this to extremes and, to avoid staring, not even look at you much.
 Also they'll insist on your staying
 in bed in the morning until all
 hours. It won't make any differ ence that you cant sleep well in a
 soft bed anyway. Besides you're
 used to getting up before HOO. But the folks back home may feel that you should have a change; so, by George, you've got to stay in bed for a change.
 After week you'll get fidgety and restless. Nothing to do. But don't dare drop hint that you're think ing of going to work or taking a course in radio repair or engineering under the GI Bill. Make the ar engagements and, when eyerything's set, then break the news. It can te a terrible shock to some people to think of the returned hero going to work after only two weeks rest. But don't let them talk you out of it.
 If you're ex-seryice because of a disability and you walk into room on crutches and no one makes move to give you a chair, it's OK. They may have read they're sup posed to treat you as though nothing has happened to you. And when you drop your pipe, they'll still sit. You can hook the crutches with one 1 hand, scrape the pipe toward you, and try to avoid breaking your good i, leg as you lean over to recover the ! pipe. Never try to help disabled i the articles said Tt will 1 make him lose confidence that he has built up"
 The above, of course, is intended | as nonsense; but to introduce one l selicus sentence, I think you'll find, 1 as ex-service people, that re-adjust- ing to civilian life won't be nearly | as hard as it was to adjust to the service, if folks will forget stuff i about how to treat you and just re- member to help you.

WASHINGTON--If you are now a veteran and have just returned to your home town after a couple oi years foreign service you need some advice, because you're likely to dis cover that the people-perhaps the members of your own family-now act strangely You'll have to get used to humoring them.
 For instance when you again meet Harry Dunlap, who runs the corner grocery don't te surprised by his greeting. Harry didn't get induct- cd into any service. His was a scr vice at home You knew him very well, but he'll say How do you do, oe,"-very formal like-'I don't be- lieve I've seen you around lately"
 This will kind of push you back on your heels because you expected him to say, Well, old Joe Brown, himself Back from the wars How the hell are you? Let's celebrate tonight"
 The reason I.arry ilas gone distant on you is because he read some place in a magazine about how to treat returning veterans. He learned he was supposed to treat you just as though you had never left town. Consequently he may talk about Mrs. Upton Ramsey or fig newtons or Mrs. Coverly or cabbage heads, but he won't ask any questions at all, so you'll practically have to beat him into listening to some of your ser vice experiences.
 You'll be dying to tell him about that blonde English nurse or the dame you met over in Australia but Harry saw in a book that he was supposed to avoid many questions although it said to ask the veteran about the folkways of the people of countries he has visited is quite in order" So it will appear to you like he isn't bit interested in you. This will seem quesr-but forgive him. Somehow the word has spread around that all vets are sort of psy- cho-neurotios and they must have time for mental adjustment
 At home, too, they'll be glad to see you back, but after the first quick happy hug, etc, etc, etc, there1l be
