A Debt of Honor
I 'THE war was won six months or a year ahead
of schedule because the Germans realized that
the tremendous preparations being made in this
| country would absolutely annihilate the German
j army when the full force of America was thrown
into the fight.
In asking us to subscribe to the Victory Lib
erty Loan our Government is only asking us to
loan our money so that the bills of victory can be
paid. It is a debt of honor which every individual
American must do his part to pay. f
This nation—your country and mine—owes
approximately $10,000,000,000 in unpaid war bills
—for a Victory that we are now enjoying.
The nation must pay this debt—if it is to con
tinue to exist as a nation among the nations of the
world.
There are only two ways that the nation can
secure the money—by bonds and by taxes. J
Taxes are already high and yet insufficient to
meet our outstanding war obligations.
Therefore bonds must be sold.
Again, there are only two ways that several
billions of dollars of bonds can be sold—to the
banks or to the people.
If they are placed with the banks, industry,
commerce, your business will suffer. The banks
v/ould be unable to purchase several billion dol
lars of Liberty Bonds and continue to loan money
in sufficient quantities and at a fair rate to the
business man. You cannot have your pudding and
eat it, too.
It is, therefore, YOUR BUSINESS and MY
BUSINESS to prepare for the Victory Liberty
Loan, that we may then invest as largely as each
of us individually can—for America’s welfare and
for our own.
EXCEEDS record
Predictions that 1919 would
be a banner year for every
body connected with the build
ing or construction business
are being borne out by the
way in which this class of work
is developing in Arkansas,
are having difficulty in gett
ing sufficient draftsmen to
prepare plans and skctees
says the Southern Constinot
ion News, of Little Rock. It
appears that within a few
weeks the contractors will
have all the work they can do
“With all this builing going
on and with the prospect of
! material and labor remaining
at a high figure as compared
wit h former years”, says
the writer i the above mention
ed publication, “that our cit>
councils and law-makers
would give some constructive
thought to building codes
and fire preventions regulation
any old way, inviting fire
and disaster by construction
that would not tolerated in
many communities? It is a
shame to invess new millions
in fire traps”.
“While the individual needs
and laws there are many steps
he himself cantake to safe
guard his own roperty. Such
steps will be a source of safe
ty and satisfaction to him
and an example to his less
thrifty neighbor. Arkansas
has ‘ expert fire-prevention
engineers whose services are
free to the public. Anyone
who has the energy can get
for himself the blessings oi
comparative safety against
fire. People who are putting
up new buildings or who are
remodeling old ones can gel
valuable help along these lines
by writing the Actuarialbureai
at the state capital. They have
nothing to sell, the service be
ing absolutely for the benefii
of the public.”
TO KEEP UNIFORMS
The act of Congress approv
ed February 23, 1919,provides
that any person who served in
the United States Army during
the present war may wear the
uniform after discharge pro
vided that it shall include some
distinctive mark to be pre
scribed by the Secretray ol
War. The red chevron has
been prescribed to be worn
by discharged enlisted men as
a recognition of duties pre
formed in the service of the
country. This is now also
designated as the distinctive
mark required by the before
mentioned act and will be
worn by discharged officers
and enlisted men alike. This
also applies to discharged
officers who accept com
misions in the Officers Reserve
Corps, until called to active
duty, when the red chevron
will be removed. A chevron
will be worn point up midway
between the elbow and
shoulder on the left sleeve
of the coat and overcoat and
on the shirt when worn with
out the coat. It is unlawful
under theNational Defence
Act for the uniform to be worn
by discharged officers or en
listed men without this distin
tive mark, and the offender
renders himself liable to civil
prosecution and punishment
by a fine not exceeding $300 or
by imprisonment not exceed
ing six months, or by both such
fine and imprisonment. A sup
ply of these chevrons will be
kept on hand at all demobil
ization camps and at all
quartermaster rooms for sale
to honorably discharged
officers.
All commanding officers are
enjoined to see that all officers
and enlisted men about to be
discharged are informed of
the provisions of this circular.
By order of the Secretary of
War:
PEYTON C. MARCH,
General, Chief af Statt.
Stopped Cough After Flu
“I want to say that Foley’s
Honey and Tar is the best
cough medicine I ever tried,”
writes E. B. McDowel, R. F. D.
1, Box 119, Arlington, Tenn.
“My son had Influenza. He
had the worse knid of a cough
and I tried everything, but
nothing did any good. God
sent me a friend with Foley’s
Honey and Tar and his cough
was better the next day and in
two days he had no cough at
all.” Foley’s Honey and Tar
stops harsh, racking coughs;
' eases wheezy breathing. It is
’ effective, yet pleasant to take.
