Good for 4 per Cent.

Have you any money at inter-
est? Anything laid by for a
rainy day? Work for your first
dollar, but as soon as you get it,
make it help to earn your second.
This principle followed will pre-
clude the possibility of your ever
becoming a public charge, and
make it possible for you to be a
blessing to the world that gives
you existence.
Suppose you had in your hand
to-day all the pennies, nickels,
dimes and dollars that you have
spent during the past year for
that which you could just as
well have done without, what
would you do with it?
Your home and the home of
every other citizen in the United
States is threatened by a power
ful enemy. Already thousands
of our sons, brothers, and hus-
bands are marching to battle.
But, while they are fighting, they
must be fed. They must be
provided with warm clothing, and
munitions with which to fight.
Then, they must have wages.
All this takes fabulous sums of
money. The money must come
from the people.
Now, you are not asked to con-
tribute this money as a gift. The
Government wants to borrow it
from you and the Government
will give you its note (Bond) and
pay you four. per cent, paying
you the interest every six
To get into this game you do
not have to wait until you have
accumulated a great lot of money.
You may have but fifty dollars.
Take it to the Bank and tell the
cashier you want to help win the
war; that you want to buy a
Liberty Bond; that you have fifty
dollars that you want to invest
at a per cent interest. He will
understand. And when you re-
turn to your home you will have
the feeling that you are of some
account to the Government, and
that you are a-BONDHOLDER.

Do Il Now!

Ifyou knew that by lending your
friend fifty or a hundred dollars
or more it would save him from
a great loss of property, and that
he would be absolutely sure to
pay it back, you would scarcely
think of the interest your money
would be earning for you. Now,
your Uncle Samuel is in a tight
place; he's mighty good, but
he just dosen't have the ready
money. He asks you for a loan.
Will you turn him down? Ask
your banker, or postmaster how
to do it. Four per cent. ought to
look good. BUY A LIBERTY
