Wl at is Victory worth? What would we have given this time last year to have been assured of Victory? What pledse would we have not made? And now that our men have won will we hesitate to pay the bill? They paid, those boys of the Araonne, in blood and life. They will pay, many of them, through all their long lives in suffering and in weakness, "very soldier that we see is a challenge to oar hearts and to our pockets. They will not be a reproof. Their eyes will never say that we are, what they never were, quitters. We, too, can carry on. Generous they were and generous we will he. Our pride we will prove by thanksgiving, not in words but in dollars loaned to Uncle Sam to pay for bringing the Ifoys hack, for the guns that were never used, for the ships that were not sunk, for the care of the men who did not die, 'or the rebuilding of the men who almost "went West." All the wise men said it will be the fall of 'IS before the Kaiser will be driven into his own country. Our money would have gone throughout the year to make that hope good. But the Hun was driven hack. Me lost heart and cried "Kameradl" a year before the promised time.

I 4 "I appeal moat earnestly to the men j and women of America to lend their ' money to the government; and to do it now!" "I myself have invested in ths bonds. There is every reason for buying them. The patriotic reason is enough. But, in addition, there is of fered the best security in the world, backed by the credit of the govern ment and people of the United States." "The outstanding and fundamental need of the government, without which nothing can be accomplished, is money, in large sums and Email." "Buy Liberty Bonds the security 1 the best in the world." "Do rtot let Wall Street monopolize : the financing of the War and, if you do, then do not blame Wall Street but 1 admit that it Is more patriotic and far sighted than you are." OLDHERM!TJ!M'S LAS! Ill No one ever knew where Hermit Jim Hudson came from. None knew his story. tine day he was discovered in a little shack built of refuse '.umber from the dump down by the river. And there he lived for forty years. In summer he fished, worked a little, but never talked of himself. In winter ho hibernated, so to speak. , He was a. big, up-standing two tisted fellow, capable of much, but utterly indifferent to all about him. He was an enigma, a mystery, a town character. As the years passed Hermit Jim lost his robustness of figure and what remained of his ambition to work. Finally, at seventy, -the sheriff took him In charge and carted him off to the poor farm. Horniit Jim was a mere skeleton, his clothes in tatters, and his feet bound In burlap in plac. of shoes. His cupboard was almost as hare as Mother Hubbard's, yet right there he voiced the only com plaint he had ever been known to make. His shack was his castle, he declared, and shuuld be respected. Finally, however, he capitulated but not without protest. "I'm not objecting to having more to eat or a better bed Sheriff" he conceded. In English quite out of keeping w ith his condition, "but I don't like the prospective finish. It's a poor climax to my early training and ambitions." Then, despite the sheriff's efforts to draw him out, he became u clam again. Only once more he discussed his case. They were then in sight of the poor house. "My life has been a failure Sheriff," he declared, staring blankly ahead. "Why, doesn't par ticularly matter. I've been captain of my soul for sixty years, but a poor pilot, maybe," he chuckled mirth lessly. "I had a better start than most men, but things broke wrong, I lost ambition, interest in life, care fcr the future and regard for respect ability. I've been a lono wolf." Suddenly he straightened and his eyes flashed with a r.tw light. "God, Sheriff, how I might have died had t)iis war come half a century earlier! Maybe in a fight with a birdman three miles in the air! Maybe coins over the top in the gray of the morning! Maybe hand to hand with my fingers digging into a Boche's throat! And maybe far behind the firing line from a biff on the head from a bit of shrapnel! But anyway, any time, anywhere, gloriously! For humanity! Democracy! Liberty! What a death, Sheriff; what a death!" "Jim", said the sheriff, with a now, strange softness in his voice, "I've been told that you bought a thousand dollar Liberty Bond last October. Ue never believed ft. But, old fellow, somehow now I do. Did you?" Hermit Jim chuckled. This time it echoed the glee of the thrusli. sing ing in the haw bush by the roadside. "Yes, Sheriff, I bought it. And this morning, knowing that you were coming after me, I used it in kind ling the lire to conk my breakfast. I reckoned I probably would stay here the rest of my life. "It was the only way 1 could do my bit toward finishing the job." . X(H'N( 'KM EXT. Dr. M. M.
