"Mntered in the postorice at winnetka, Ilinois, as mail matter of the second elass, under the act of March 3, 1879. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1918 Dollars And Victory "Before the War," said a veteran of that war which ended 53 years and selfish personal interest there is the issue of War Savings Stamps in which the patriotic bond holder is asked, even urged, to invest his in- terest money from his Liberty Loan bond, the government thus re-investing with those smaller sums which have accrued from the invest- ment in the larger bonds. It is not asking a charitable dona- tion to urge the investment in these small securities of the government. It is good business to put these in- terest dollars themselves to earning interest and it is good citizenship as well, because it lends again to the government what is paid by the gov- ernment upon an earlier loan. The conversion of the interest on the War bond into the War Savings Stamps should be so regularly done as to become a habit, automatically done as the interest periods roll around. ago--"Why, haven't we always had war?" asked a seven-year-old, in surprise. So completely has the world been changed in the last four years that we do not allow ourselves to think that just over the threshold of the future, Peace may be waiting! We have not allowed ourselves to think that the time may come again shall country into another in safety; when when men cross from one ships may sail the seas with port holes shining and bands playing; when airplanes may circle over cities without raining down thunder bolts! This is the stake for which we are fighting and lending--the time when the all. Against the walls of militarism, the world shall be {free for waves of common life can wash in- It take a tidal wave of American effort definitely without result. will to overthrow this tyranny. That tide is rising. We must make it irresistible. Not tomorrow or next year, is the Victory to be won. With the shells that are being machined today, the soldiers now in the ranks, the dollars we in Winnetka put into THIS WEEK, Victory is to be won. Liberty bonds The supreme crisis is now, and the supreme effort must not be post- poned. BUY THAT BOND He Knows and Is Glad That full page dedicated to Dins- more Ely which the Winnetka Weekly Talk for Septem- ber 20, is one of a series of Liberty appeared in T,oan adpertisements which was ar- ranged by the National Publicity Committee at Washington. During this Liberty Loan campaign, it will appear many times in papers and magazines circulating throughout the United States. To Winnetka, rightly the home village, belonged the honor of its first 'publication. Dead in France, Ely's words of fire today written the skies are across of America, contributing as no one man could contribute to the success of this greatest of all drives for liberty. We cannot but feel that Dinsmore Ely knows--and is glad. BUY THAT BOND Buy W. 5. S. With Your Liberty Bond Coupons It goes against the conscience of the really patriotic to cash the in- terest coupons of their Liberty Loan bonds. When there is so great need for money to finance the country in its war undertakings the collection of interest for a loan made the gov ernment v the spirit which prompted invest- ment. the | BUY THAT BOND As To Old Clothes There will be need in Wilmette for warm clothing if the demands of the organized charities are to be met.
