last night our little Willie had gone
of TO the war and was made a gem

"And we have bought a Liberty

one for her baby. Mr.. Bcecroft knows

they gave Mrs. Beecroft ten dollars
to let her take picture OF her baby
buying Liberty Bond, as The
Youngest American Buying Liberty
Bond in the news pictures. SO Mrs
Beecroft took the ten dollars and
made the first payment on the bond
with the money"
Couldn't you get ten dollars each
for our children as the next oldest
Liberty Bond buyers?" asked Mr..
Jarr.
IL wish you wouldn't be so cynical"
said Mrs Jarr. IL would have done
It, only they wanted a very young
child. Mrs. Beecroft was afraid her
baby might drop the bond and spoil
the picture, so she let the child sec
