BUY A BOND

"Buy Bonds and Back, our Boys" is
the call that is being answered today
from everywhere in the great north
west.
The whole great country is rallying
to the cry to get behind the men that
are going to fight for our rights, our
liberties and our homes.
It is going to be said that
the people Of the United States OF
America let their men go into battle
%unprepared to fight or without the
shoes and clothes and food that they
must have, or the means to take care
of them if they are bowled over.
The great truth is being realized
that the Government is not asking
anyone for money, but wants only to
borrow it and is giving for it the fin
est security that exists in the whole
world. And patriotism and loyalty TO-
day are words that are synonymous
with Liberty Bonds"
Men everywhere in North Dakota,
Minnesota, South Dakota and Mon
tana, in northern Wisconsin and in
northern Michigan are being told not
to let the week end on them without
having their names on the Liberty
Bond subscription lists and they are
needing it nobly.
The Liberty Loan campaign in the
Ninth Federal Reserve district has
| started so well and with so many Nevi-
dcnces already that counties and town
ships are going to oversubscribe that
it all spells Success and Honor fol-
! the Great Northwest"
