SAMUEL G Samuel Gompers, for many years head of the labor movement in the United States and at present one of tho leaders of the labor movement at the Peace Conference at Paris, urges labor, both organized and unorganized, to support the Victory Liberty Loan. He says in part: "The Victory Loan is the forerun ner of a happier state of society, a guarantee of peace and tranquility of the world, the hope of a better day and a brighter light. I heartily join with my fellow citizens in urging every worker and every organization of workers to take part in this splen did effort to finance our democracy's peace 'with the wealth and savings of - all our people. Invest your savings made safe by the Victory of our arms." COUNTRY HOLDS THIRD OF Tremendous Guarantee Back of Every Bond Issued by United States to Pay Its War Bills. Gold is the basis of all credit The United States is now about to enter a -fifth great popular campaign for the sale of government bonds to the citi wni of the nation. America has con tracted more than $5,000,000,000 of debt since last November in paying war bills, and this money must be rais ed by the people. Every reader of this paper knows that United States government .bonds are the safest investment on earth. But many of them do not, perhaps, know just how to explain their belief. One of the reasons why United States government bonds are the saf est investment on earth is that the United States now possesses one third pt the world's gold. This has come about as a result of the war. It had large gold holdings before the fighting began in 1914, but since then the nations of the earth have been fAnH to srefr needed sunnlies and maintain trade relations. ' j The Federal Reserve banks do not hold, probably more than two-tuirds : of this nation's supply of gold yet ; they have in their reserves more than ; onehalf as much as the State banks j of the next fourteen most wealthy na- j tlons, and-abroad the State banks have i collected practically every gold piece that the people possessed. SOJG OF SAVINGS STAMPS Sing song of Savings Stamps. The cost ot living's high. But have you counted all the things- Those Savings Stamps will buy? They help to take that summer trip, Or buy some fussy clothes. Howmuy things they'll help to gt, Goodness only knows! Increase ycrar savings not tomor fav, r ne ly but N0W 1 &sr - r.:vv.

GET THE HABIT This year, with battles fought and won, with Pea:e the lead ing Paris style, there comes the urge -to spend for fun, to fall for Folly's gilded guile. I know myself the day I heard the ar mistice was really signed, I or dered up a nice hot bird and sat right down andt dined and wined but just as we are crea tures all' of habits we allow to grow, my conscience started to recall some better way to use my dough. It's got me. You have guessed it Thrift the !x yeast that swells the penny's size, that teaches us to make short shift of things in which no value lies. Each morning when' I seek my job, I plunge at least for one Thrift Stamp; perhaps I buy it from a gob, perhaps it's from a baby vamp I do not care" so long as they are working toward the self-same end for Thrift, the thing, which day by day informs us what we ought to spend. ) mi J1I1IPS JOB AND YOUR He has almost finished his Hew about you? Are you ready to ay, "I have done my part?" When Jimmie comes marching back, vi'th gold stripes on both sleeves and naybe a cross on his chest, are you ady for the glad home coming? teady? you ask, as if you had not e.in waiting and longing all these ncnths! As if you had not visualized lim again and again, pictured him "rem babyhood on up, and loved each .nemory of towsled hair and grubby 'are yes, and toothless grin, too; ovedhis way of calling you "Mum ney," when he had tracked mud on tho best rug again, or come home 'rem a most apparent encounter with .he enenjy. You loved him most of all that day when he came home, very quiet and serious, and put his arms around you while he told you that he wanted to go to serve his country. That day you first knew he was no longer a boy, but a full grown man, ready to assume his own responsibilities in the world. That all seems a long time ago, doesn't it? , Since then he has proved himself. He has served his country faithfully and well, even "beyond the call of duty." until nov his services over there are almost ended and he will be coming home soon. lie is coming home to you but he is coming back a different man from the boy you knew. The boy will be there, too. but he, has .-known the feel ing of dedication that comes from of fering his life for an ideal, from lay ing his all at the feet of Liberty. His eyes have seen the vision have -yours seen it too? He has almost finished his job, have you finished yours? His was to drive the Hun to his knees where now he is grovelling, and yours hs been to back him up clear to the Rhine. You have done that. Sut.you have not fin ished. Your boy is still over there. He must not be deserted now when he is almost finished. When he is ready to come home you must be ready too; ready to look him in the eyes with the knowledge that you have served your country at least so far as the call of duty. There is one more big effort neces sary one more pull. All together now for the Victory Liberty Loan! CAPTAIN SWIFT'S TALE O, Captain Swift, of the Twenty fifth, tell us a warrior's tale, of the rifles' rattle 'and the bloody battle and the shot that fell like hail. "It was at Belleau," and Captain Slow, or Swift, as the case may be," and my brave command plowed up the land in support, of Battery D And from over the hill, when all was still, came the Boche at double quick, and I thought for the nonce that gone was my sconce till my sergeant feaved the trick. - With i hand grenade and a bomb, home made, he hid by a shat tered tree as the crafty Huns all trained their guns on the boys of Bat tery D. Then over the top on a darn ed fast hop came the - rest of the shouting horde, and snorting tanks on both our flanks came near to hav ing us floored, when Sergeant E. fryn behind that tree let loose his hnd grenade, and the tanks stopped short and ceased to snort and a pause in the dash was made. With great aplomb he loosed his bomb and the slaughter was good to see as the (Ger man hound3 into bits were ground by that blast of T-X-T. Arrtl I'm pleased to tell we gave them heU that day in Bellea Wood, and all of you, if you wanted to, could do a deed as good. Though, the flfch tin's done and the war fas won, the bills must still be paid; so a bon4 you'll tak& It will help you maka your pur a a hand grenade. w iMcln mil you lend r the ie of. your..
