Look for the Red and White Sign The Racket Department Store ' Chain Usco' A Good Tire Year You have doubtless noticed the growing preponderance of United States Tires. 1* Every one is asking for tires of known value and proved dependability. f*f And that is precisely what 4& United States Tires represent in the minds of motorists here and everywhere. J} ..•■■ The idea back of United States Tires —to build good tires'*»_ the best tires that cad be built, is appealing to rapidly growing numbers. We can provide you with United States Tires to meet— and meet exactly — your individual needs. United States Tires are Good Tires Speeial Appeal on Behalf of Liberty Loan Issue is Sent Out by Washington Representative of National Grange. Every farmer in Aanerica is ex* pected to support the Victory Libei-y Loan, says Thomas C. Atkeson, the Washington representative of the National Grange Patrons ol Husbandry, who has sent the following letter to the officers of every farm grange in the United States: i " 'Victory Liberty' is the slogan for the new loan. The drive is to begin April 21, for the sale of six billion dollars in Victory Liberty Bonds. These two words visualize all that is best in American spirit. American farmers must respond to this appeal. "What the farmers of America did in sacrifice and in accomplishment, in food production and in bond buying during the war is a part of the record It is a war record of which any class may be proud. It must be made good now by meeting the obligations which result from the outpouring of American strength which conquered the enemies of Liberty and civilization. « Time to Get Ready. "It is time to get into this Victory Liberty Bond campaign. No appeal of the war has gone unanswered to the full limit when brought to the attention of the farmers. Men, money, wheat, other food—no matter what the obstacles or the difficulties—the answer has been full and certain. The answer must be the same in this coming drive. "Million, of soldiers must be brought home; thousands of sick must be cared for; thousands of wounded and mutilated must be made ready for future usefulness. We armed a nation and mobilised its resources into a war machine of such tremendous potential power that our enemies surrendered rather than face it, and thereby months or years of fighting and thousands of lives, were saved. Now we must pay the obligations created by this effort. Who can neglect to pay his just part for that which prevented bo great a sacrifice of life and blood. World Wants Products. *"-_tere Mas just outside the doors of the American farmer a hungry world, a world which needs all our products. American farming rests on the safe basis of need and service. The investment of the hard earned dollars ol American farmers in Victory Liberty Bonds is a safe investment with a certainty of fair return, and the money will come back into circulation making more business, increasing the market and the demand for farm products, and increasing prosperity Buying Victory Liberty Bonds will make farmers Victory-Li.erty-Prosper- ity-men. Do your part to put the Victory Liberty Loan over the top. "Make your investment in Victory Liberty Bonds the measure of your confidence in American institutions and that democracy for- which your sons offered the supreme sacrifice; a symbol of your determination that the .war shall not have been fought in vain; an offering of thanksgiving for peace." GO UP IN VALUE History of All Loans for a Century Shows That Advance Has Always Come with Peace How much will you lend for the use JIMMIFS JOB He has almost finished his How about you? Are you ready to say, "I have done my part?" When Jimmie comes inarching back, with gold stripes on both sleeves and maybe a cross on his chest, are you ready (or the glad home coming? Ready? you ask,—as if yon bad not been waiting and longing all these months' As if you had not visualized him again and again, pictured him from babyhood on up, and loved each memory, of toweled hair and grubby face—yes, and toothless grin, too; loved bis way of calling you "Mum- mey," when he had tracked mud on the best rug again, or come home from a most apparent encounter with the enemy. 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 now his services over there are almost ended and he will be coining home soon. He 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 feeling of dedication that comes from offering his life for an ideal, from laying his al! 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 hi_ knees where now he js grovelling; and yours has been to back him up—clear to the Rhine. You have done that, but 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 hi- effort necessary—one more pull. AH together now for the. Victory Liberty Loan!
