Get a Badge of Honor and Join
New England's Biggest Piece
of Patriotic Team Work.

"Two million subscribers for $500. :
900, 900" is the slogan of the New
England committee in charge of the
Liberty bond drive in this district.
Said N. Penrose Hallowell. vice.
chairman Of that committee.
Commenting on the total of $780,
CAT 900 which the combined actiW-
ties in all the New England states
had produced, as far as reported in
the first five days, he said.
"Only Fairly Satisfactory"
"This Is far ahead of what we had
at the end of the first week of the
first campaign. but it must be re-
membered that at that time we had
practically no organization, and our
efforts were devoted almost entirely
to educational work.
"Our beginning for this campaign
is only fairly satisfactory. It should
be remembered that the country must
raise not $4,000. 900 900. but $5..
900, 900 900, and that the New Eng
land district Is required to subscribe
$500 200. 900 instead OF $500. 900. 900, ),
as before. Therefore. our task this
time is almost twice as great as before.
I'VE urge the citizens OF New Eng
land to do two things:
First, subscribe now. Do not
wait until the end OF the campaign.
as your subscription now will tntu-
ence others.
Second. wear your Liberty. button :.
This is a privilege and a duty. ID
this campaign Is to be successful, in
another two weeks person not wear.
ing button will be very noticeable.
Remember this: Your example helps
others; your encouragement helps 9TH
'ers.
Talk to all your friends regarding
the loan and keep on talking to the
end OF the campaign. The whole
matter is simply one Of team work
and we ask you to join the team.
There were between 900, 900 and
1 900, 900 people who subscribed to
the 3 10 per cent. loan. This time
we want 1000, 900 subscribers.
s; 1--WE are sending out letter to all
the banks in this district requesting
them to send us each day their total
number of subscribers. When these
returns begin to come in, we will
publish them. Let our slogan from
now on be, Two million subscribers
for $500, 900, 900 bonds This can be
done with your cooperation; it can
not be accomplished without it."
