A DUTY AND A PRIVILEGE,

The people are called on to help
with the second bond issue of the lib
crty loan and will not be found wait
ing. The organization work in the
Ninth federal reserve district is com
plete.
In every county and town loyal citi
zens, women as we'll as men. are max
ing preparations to do their share
The least that we who stay at home
can do is to help furnish money to
keep our boy in the field fed, clothed
and armed while they fight for US
Can you step into bank few doors
from home and in buying a bond that
is as good as gold as pays you four
per cent imagine you are making a
sacrifice?
What does that mean in comparison
to the men who are giving perhaps
their legs, their arms, their eyes, their
lives, if necessary? Or how does the
simple act of making a safe invest
ment stack up with the giving of the
selected men, many of whom left their
families and good businesses to go tC
military camps
There is no comparison. There is
no excuse. We must buy our liberty
bonds and be glad that we are thus
permitted to help. Think of mar
