our Country Calls You, Americans

Inc average men and women. the people with
all savings are the ones to whom til new Liberty
an should appeal. and the most important
fk OF the managers Of the Liberty Loan campaign
20 educate the people to the value of this invest
Put. They must make the saving for Liberty
nds an automatic result of patriotism.
The man who wants to fight and can't because
has passed the age limit finds in the LibertT Loan
pple opportunity for service in the ranks Of those
hitting the battles of democracy.
Every woman who is unable to 90 to the front as
Bed C-oss nurse has in the Liberty Loan field
q action that is just as important as staunchlng
e flow of blood from a soldiers wound. 1t may
u be SO picturesque, but il is just as necessary
Here then is the great opportunity for the men
ID women behind the line, here is their chance TO
81 to the boys at the front in words forceful
IAN can be carried in any postcard or Christmas
|ckage that the folks at home standing by fill
.g every gap, bringing up the reinforcement when
eded, keeping up the organization doing their full
UIfysin a campaign that has a place for everyone
nd finds everyone in his or her place.
1T should also be remembered that part of the
tail in this particular assignment is not only to
FoviIe the money for the Liberty Loan but at the
Ime time continue the kindly personal messages of
Ne postcard and the Christmas package.

BIT mean a shifting of responsibility. 1t means
lore work. 1t means that each one must go out
make more money by saving more money.
Bear i'm mind at the outset that the men OF small
cans are the greatest gamers
IG0yernment bonds are the safest and the best in
kstment known to the world. In ordinary times
tese securities have not been at the disposal of the
kople with small bank accounts.
Now. the government bond bearing interest at
bur per cent-the same as the savings banks
Thin the reach of every man and woman, boy and
ri. who can save one dollar week for a year OF
fty.two weeks, and allow two weeks vacation or
NO dollars for Christmas.
That is not so very much of a sacrifice, if one
fishes TO put ii on that basis-saying one dollar
heh week for Liberty Bond while the boy who
representing YOU at the front is riskng his life
D fighting your battles.
Don't be afraid of small savings r..
This small savings is to be one OF the lessons
the war. The small savings, the frugaty of the
lain people, is what has saved France and made it
tower of financial strength. The small savings
what guarantees prosperity. The small savings
what keeps your business and the other mans
business going so that your job is worth while.
Remember that deypite the necessity of big guns
b smash the way through, battles are won by the
PASSES of men, the man on foot, the infantry.
The small savings constitutes the infantry of the
orces behind the line. The girl saving money for
Liberty Bond is just as surely doing her share
NJ the struggle her brother in the mass of men
|Ong over the top or cooking stew for the fighters,
Ir driving an ambulance.
DO not waste time arguing over what we have
ot done in the past. This is our war and the fight
INST be made to guarantee our future.
Your country calls YOU.
II You can't give your life, the very least you can
Ter is the loan of your dollar
