The feature stunts of the fifth cam­

S THE GRIT
THAT WON WAR
Sorely Wounded Soldier Sees
the Job Through.
Carter Glass, secretary of the
treasury, copied the following note,
among others, from the note book of
a Red Cross nurse when he was In
France:
"One boy I shall always remember,
ids right shoulder was practically
all shot away and he had a big
wound in his back and one in bis left
eye.
But he sat straight up and
wouldn't let anybody help him. He
didn't say a word while they pulled
off the tight clinging gauze from
the red, raw, wet flesh that quiv­
ered In spite of him. When the first
wound was finished all he said was:
' ’Do you think I could rest a min-
ute. Doc, before you do the second
one?’ "
"Red. raw, wet flesh”—American
t osh. It was not yellow. Think of
that when you are asked to buy of the
Victory Liberty Loan, ye who think ye
have done enough.
WHOSE WAR WAS IT?
Was ft Smith, the banker's war or
Jones, the truckman's war? Was It
Labor’s war or was It Capital's war?
Was It Autocracy's war or was it Lib­
erty's war? Whose war was it?
Figure It out. Then sacrifice every­
thing and subscribe to the Victory Lib­
erty Loan. For it was The People’s
War.
It Isn't paid for. It must be pail
for. The Victory Liberty Loan will
pay for It. The people must buy
because it was their war. The people
are Smith and Jou is. Labor and Capi­
tal.
If it wasn't the People's war. It
wasn't anybody’s war. So don’t say
"let the banks do IL” It was not the
bank's war. You might as well say it
was Jones' war—let Jones buy the Vic­
tory Loan. He would have as much
chance to subscribe five or six billion
as Smith would.
Tbe man who says "let the banka
do it.” is yellow. There are about
1,000,000 American leda over In Europe
who are sticking It through. They are
not saying let somebody else do it
It's the last loan. Play square.
"The scope of thrift le limitless."-
Thomas A. Edison.
The war will not be over until the
United States government has bon
orably met every commitment made
in order to win the war.—Carter
Glass, Secretary of the Treasury.
OUR DEBT 1 O THE DEAD
Subscribing to the government’s
fifth Liberty Loan, called In out

moot patriotic thing any of us can do
at the present moment. While actual
lighting waa In progress It was not
hard to arouse ourselves to active and
unqualified support of any war meas

that American blood was flowing on

not be any tbe less hesitant In re

The imprint of fame upon the name of our fair state will turn to a stain of shame
if we do not meet the obligation this Victory Loan represents. You are face to

The Parent Bond of Them All
The government bond is the Parent bond of all bonds. Back of the gov­
ernment bond are all the assets and all the resources that supply the value
of all other bonds, all other securities, all other investments.
The government bond is a prior lien on lands, homes, chattels and every­
thing else, and the bonds to be issued under the name of the Victory Lib­
ert} Loan are the highest of the high in government bonds. They constitute
a conti act of the I nited States government, entered into by unanimous vote
of congress, and therefore a contract and mortgage behind which stands the
possessions of One Hundred and Ten Million American people with their
entire resources developed and undeveloped; the intelligence, ambition and
bül % of these One Hundred and Ten Million people mortgaged to pay the
. The Victory Liberty Loan Bonds will bear an attractive rate of interest
investments as to strength, collateral and return,"nave noneoua. “h
This is one of 176 advertisements inserted simultan­

we believe in this cause and are willing to contribute
to the full extent of our pozeer.
