WOMAN PLEADS
 F0R BONDS IF
 LIBERTY JUAN

AS women we all love bargains. | Uncle Sam is conducting a real bar gain in sale" said Louise Cleveland, assistant attorney general in appealing to the women to purchase Liberty bonds at a neighboring gathering held at the home of Mrs. Charles Arnold yesterday.
 The young attorney made power ful plea to the assembled guests and her four minute talk brought prac- tical results for the Liberty bond campaign. Miss Cleveland said:
 Do you know that it takes more money every two hours for the United States to carry on this war than it did to build the Roosevelt dam? Its our country that is fighting. It's our country that has asked us to lend our money to carry on this war Are we going to shoulder this burden, or are we going to be slackers? The respon- sibility is with each of us individually; since we can't go across are we going to "come across?"
 l We American people, as a people, have never saved Why, a German l family could live comfortably on what an American family wastes. But this ! war is going to make us save We can't afford to waste money when we need eighteen billion dollars the first year of the war. The wealthy people ! of this country own only five per cent of the total wealth. That means that i you and l have to save Its got to ] come out of our pockets. It's up to us.
 If we don't lend our money to Uncle i Sam, how will he get it? Through taxation, of course. The United States has got to get this money. Would you rather be taxed than be drawing interest on your money lent to the 1 United States?
 But let's look at this as a straight i business proposition. The second Lib- ! erty loan calls for three billion dollars at f per cent, maturing in 25 years l and callable at the option of the gov ernnent at par, plus interest in 10 years.
 The way to make money is to save it. Start with a few dollars And that's just the way we buy a Liberty bond Any bank will make arrange ments to allow you to buy bond for l a few dollars down and a few dollars each month.
 As quickly as you pay your money you begin to draw interest on that money-four per cent-and when you pay the $50 your bond will be deliy
 cred to you and you draw interest on the $50.
 This bond is absolutely tax free i When the tax collector comes to your
 home he does not know how many Liberty bonds you own.
 The safest place you can have your
 money IS in the United States treasury and we want our money in a safe
 place in these times. Nobody car
 steal it, and it cant be destroyed. Il you lose it, you can get another one

 As women we love bargains. Uncl Sarn is conducting real bargain sale These bonds may sell above par be
 fore long, and that means that we ca . sell them tor more than we paid fo . them. Undoubtedly this will be th - case after the war. If the next iSsu pays more than per cent, these bond 5 are convertible. We can change ther t to the higher interest bearing bond immediately. We are buying some
 thing that is worth more than We ar @ paying for it; that is real bargain s Are we going to buy or lose out? v Every $50 bond gives you back SIC S in seventeen years. Your none g doubled.
