am still unable to itemize IL. the
estimated sum would seem absurd
ly high.

At Christmas
Make Gift of
Liberty Bond
ey VIM. GIBBS MeAooo
Secretary Of the Treasury
for the United Press

There could be no more ap-
propriate Christmas gift In 1917
than a United States Liberty
bond.
Let every patriotic American
this year determine not TO
waste money on Christmas gifts
Of no value. gifts that would
merely indulge appetite or van
ity.
Let every patriotic American
substitute for such gifts the one
present which would be OF gen
uine value to the recipient. and
AT the same time help to win
this great war for freedom
against despotism-namely. a
bond of the United States gov
eminent.
Give Liberty Bond
Every American who contem-
plates making a Christmas gift
OF iewelry or other expensive
things should Immediately de-
eide to give Liberty bond In
stead.
Wives, sweethearts and chill
dren would rather have a LIB
e~tx bond than anything else
that could be offered them.
Every Liberty bond an Amer
lean citizen buys will arm and
equip our gallant soldiers and
sailors. will help to make them
tnyincibie In the fight. The
more invincible we can make
them, the more quickly the war
will be ended.
BY the destruction Of the kali
sers brutallzed rule OF the bay
onet, the more quickly peace on
earth, good will toward men.
will be restored.

Recommendation to the cause of
freedom and humanity thruout
the world to tho ideals for
which Christ suffered cruci-
fiyion on the Cross.

make indefinite sacrifices TO
secure this glorious result.
The least we can do In 10
give up something Of our pleas
rre, something OF our comfort,
<inethIng OF our convenience,
.omething OF our needs, and TO
employ all the savings we may
thereby effect TO strengthen
