WAATISALIBERTY BOND

Question. What is q Government
bond?
Answer 1t is a receipt given by the
Government for money loaned TO
them.
q Why do they call it a Liberty"
bond?
A. Because the money you lend the
Government will be used to make this
world a safe place to live in, and to
fight the Germans in Europe right
now instead of having to do it in Tex
as in a few years time.
Q. Then we have to fight the Ger
mans anyway?
A. Yes. They will crush us with
out mercy. If we ever give them the
chance.
@. Why should | lend the Govern
men this money?
A Because money is more import
and than men. To send our boys 20
the front, without money to keep the
big artillery going, is murder.
z. Is my money safe If ! lend ii?
A. Uncle Sans word and all his
wealth is back of his bond.
Q. How much does Uncle Sam want
me to lend him?
A. What you can afford. even if it's
only $50.0 90.
Q. Will / be paid any interest?
A. Sure. $3.50 a year for every
$4,000 you lend.
Q. Will ! have to pay taxes on the
amount | lend?
A. No. And by escaping taxes the
bond is as good as a $50 investment.
Q. Suppose | need money later?
A. Take your bond to the bank and
borrow money on it. 1t will be the
best security in the world.
O. Must ! pay all of the money at
once?
A. No. Only $500 on every $4,000
you decide to lend. and the balance on
easy terms between now and August
30th.
Q. Where do ! apply for a bond?
A. At any bank.
Q. ] guess that as an American citi-
gen ] must buy a bond?
A. You have said it.
