"To our task we dedicate our lives
and our fortunes. president Wilson.
"Let us make the bondholders' and
the people interchangeable terms, =
Theodore Roosevelt.
Every man and woman in the
county must get behind the Liberty
Loan.'- Secretary McAdoo.
america is privileged to spend her
blood and her might for the principles
that gave her birth and happiness, and
the peace she has treasured."-Presi-
dent Wilson.
America is in the war and only one
outcome can be considered possible by
Americans. That is victory. To
achieve victory the country must fur
nish the sinews of war. With victory
will come peace and therefore each
purchaser Of a Liberty Loan Bond
may be considered an agent for peace.
The Uses of the Liberty Loan
To the American citizen who gives
some consideration to features OF his
investments other than the mere mon
ey return from them, the uses to
which the money raised by the sale OF
the Liberty Loan Bonds is to be devot-
ed will prove patriotic inducement to
purchase such bonds. A ceretain dig
nifty attaches to money invested IN a
high and noble cause.
The Liberty Loan is made by the
United States Government to purchase
arms and equipment for American sol
diers and sailors, food and supplies for
the American Army and Navy. The
money is to be spent in America for
those Americans who are fighting
Americas battles on land and sea.
Part of the money raised by the sale
of Liberty Loan BONDS is to be loaned
to our a lies; this too is to be expended
in America. 1t is to be spent for food
and supplies for the Armies OF our
allies fighting on our side on the vari-
GUS war fronts in Europe. 1t is
Americas first contribution towards
doing her part in the war we are en-
gagged in.
II is billions for defense in the
worldwide war Autocracy is waglng
against Democracy, but not one cent
for tribute.
The Fifty Dollar Bond
In issuing Liberty Loan Bonds in a
denomination as small as $50 the Sec
retary of the United States Treasury
has put it in the reach Of almost every
American citizen TO do a real and ac-
tual service to his country.
Not all can fight, not all can render
personal service in other ways, but
those who are denied the privilege OF
serving their country in person have
the privilege of serving her by lending
their money to win her victories.
But it is not patriotism alone that
urges the buying of Liberty Loan
Bonds. Thrift and wise economy IN
investing small savings commend
these Liberty Loan Bonds to small IN
vestors. They are safe, and consider
ing their tax-free quality-free from
an federal. state and local taxes lin
heritance taxes excepted) and free
from any war tax that may hereafter
be levied, aifording an absoluly net
income Of 3la per cent, they eonsu-
tute an ideal investment for savings.
Nor is there any reason for waiting
for a later bond issue in the expecta-
ton of higher rate Of interest being
obtained, for the law provides that
should such bonds be issued later, LID
erty Loan Bonds may be exchanged
for them at par.
