T H E DIFFERENCE
John Brown Smith, the successful business man im­
ports the materials for his clothing, shirts and underwear
from several parts of Europe. Anything under six cylin­
ders and real plush upholstery is beneath his consideration.
He thinks, sleeps, works and enjoys himself in big figures.
John Smith, the plodder, wears the cheapest grade of
ready-made clothing. He hopes, some day, to own a
second-hand runabout. He thinks, sleeps, eats and en­
joys himself always with a watchful eye to his manifold
responsibilities and a slowly growing rainy day fund.
The real difference between the two Smith’s, however,
is this:
John Brown Smith subscribes to a Victory Liberty
Loan with a check for a sum which would keep him in
high-balls, cigars, and dinners for one month. He is not
exactly ungracious about it but he expresses the belief
that the war’s end makes unecessary any further loan is­
sues and hopes “this is the last.”
John Smith confers with the real head of the family
and grins when he discovers he can take on a bigger load
than he at first had anticipated by paring his own weekly
budget a trifle more. So he makes the first payment on
two bonds instead of one and gets quite cheerful about it.
“ Great stuff/’ he says, “bring on some more bond
issues.” //

Who is the better American?
Union Hill district has $4000 to its credit in Victory
Loan subscriptions. Among them is a subscription by
Charles Hart, an honorably discharged soldier. Such sub­
scriptions ought to make the stay-at-home, able non-sub­
scribers ashamed of their Americanism and patriotism.
Are we satisfied to let the soldiers both serve and pay
without ourselves coming forward to meet our full quota?
* If you have the money, or if you can get it, it is your
solemn duty, as a good citizen, to buy Victory Liberty
Loan bonds. All share in the V ictory; all should share in
the cost. Every good citizen WILL,
He who says, “Let the banks take the, Victory Loan”,
does not understand that bank buying means additional
inflation of currency, more credit liability, and higher
prices. Every bond that a bank buys, lessens the purchas­
ing power of the money left in individual hands.
Clean-up day made a great change in the appearance
of the town, but there i3 still plenty of room for improve­
ment, and its not too late for further effort.
