What will it profit man If he
noard his dollars, and his country
lose its cause for lack OF money?
iibcrty Bonds not only measure your
patriotism, but stand out as the SAT-

HOW BUSINESS MEN CAN HELP.

The suggestion has been made
and it is Il good one, we think--that
merchants and other business men
%.an help materially In the sale of
Liberty Bonds by notifying their GUS
tun.rrS and clients that they will ac-
sept lE>crty Bonds in payment OF ac
counts now due, or in exchange for
purchases to be made or other iinan-
~ial transactions in the due course of
current business. There arc doubt
less many who have the ready cash
and would like to purchase bonds,
but who may have obligations out
standing that would possibly not be
met promptly If their spare cash now
ON hand is invested in Liberty Bonds.
These bonds will be just as good Sc
"uritS as cash itself, and we commend
20 tn" merchants and business men OF
our town, county and State the patri-
DtiSm and sound business principle
involved in the suggested acceptance
bY them OF Liberty Bonds in payment
Df accounts or in the transaction OF
current cash business. Thousands

this manner find its way into the
