But It Isn't. It actually happened although ii is propaganda. There Is a physician and surgeon of high professional standing In San Fi-anclseo who, if he wasn't Irish, would be Scotch. He Is that canny. The other day he met a friend of his. a stock and bond expert, "roc," as his friends call him, is always look ing for information. He pumps every, body and they like hira for it. So the bond man wasn't a bit surprised when "Doc" shot this at him: "How about the next Liberty Loan It It going to get over?" "It sure will," replied the bondman. "It's going to be the last and the best of the Liberty Loans." "Advise me to load up?" persisted "Doo." "I sure do best security In the! world year from now It will be worth I liairagaln as much as you pay." "Well, I figured it out that way my self," confessed the physician. "Of course I was going to buy anyway, but I think I'll strain everything a bit and really load up." "Suppose you've got previous Is. sues?" asked the bondman. "Sure, and what's more I'm still pll In those Liberty bonds up. Every time a patient offers" them In payment I grab them. They look good to me." "You're a wise guy hang onto them. I'oc. Ive got a few myself. Gotta date with the wife so long." VICTORY LOAN TEST OF PATRIOTISM Wood Major General Leonard Wood, who at Camp Fnnston trained two divi sions of Americans for overseas service, has asked the American people to support the Fifth Loan. He says: "We have carried the war on suc cessfully so far and we must see It through. The Fifth" Loan, coming as it does after the armistice, will be a more severe test than the others, of the patriotism of our people. It Is Just as important as any loan we have made, and It should be carried through just as vigorously as the others. It is no time now to let up on our efforts. Reorganization Is even more diffi cult and almost as Important as the period of preparation. Put It over, and good luck. We must have It."

HALF BILLION SAVED ON AIRCRAFT BILL Half a billion dollars was saved by the War Deiwrtmcnt up to April 1st by cancellation of aircraft eontmer These contracts, according to the gor- ernment statement, are onlv a smnll '. part of the saving which has been made ! by abandonment ot contracts for war I material. In spite of these savings, the I statement adds, material costing mil- j lions of dollars will have to be paid for larnely through money to be raised la the Victory Loan. The city of Haines. Or., will tt.l.mH) bonds for the purpose of con structing a new suj modern school building. Regardless of what our feellne miv be as to the management of the war, our honor as a nation Is pledged to the payment of the bills for the war. No man who holds his own reputation for business integrity above reproach doubts that. He would seruoulouslv pay ms own debts and the debts nts country ate a very definite of his own obligations. The government has contracted cer tain debts. It has come to the people for the money with which to satisfy these obligations. Through statements or Us highest officials it has repeat edly made clear to all that It expects to secure this money not from the banks or the treat fl llHIietnl IniHfii- tions, but through the whole hearted support of the gieat majority of Its Hiu.eii9. It will be higher type of patriot ism that will be called to th tost during the coming days than respond ed to the former appeals of the gov ernment. Aside from a few technical ities the war Is over. The fifth loan will be raised without the spur of hos tilities because the American people are capable of reaching greater heights of patriotism than they have yet climbed.
