II you are cringing, coWardly
Stacker with no red, patriotic blood in
your veins; if you are miserly skin
flint whose only God is the almighty
dollar; if you have no love for your
country or the cause of humanity,
don't read this article-it will not ap-
peal to you. If you are loyal Ameri-
can, prove it by buying one or more
Liberty Loan bonds. If you cannot
fight for your country the least you
can do is to buy Liberty Loan bond.
The United States is at war with
a powerful and resourceful enemy. 1t
requires money to furnish the sinews
of war-money is absolutely necessary
to provide and equip an army and
navy.
The United States has Issued Liberty
Loan bonds to the amount of $780,
100000 and appeals to it's own citizens
to subscribe for same A United
States bond is the best security on
earth. These bonds bear interest at
the rate of 31A per cent, run 80 years
and are redeemable at any time after
Is years.
If there should be further issue of
bonds at higher rate Of interest the
interest on the Liberty Loan bonds
will be correspondingly increased.
The Liberty Loan bonds can be had
in any denomination from $50 up
wards. They are good investment.
If the war should end within couple
of years the bonds would command a
premium of six or eight or perhaps
ten per cent. Government Us sold at
a premium few years ago.
The holder of government bond
can always easily convert it into cash.
The holder of a hundred dollar bond
could borrow almost it's face value by
pledging the bond as security. A
United States bond is the best securi-
II in the world.
You can buy $50 Liberty loan
bond at the First National bank in
