Buying Liberty Bonds Is
Not An Act of Charity

When you buy United States Lib
srty War Bonds you are not giving
away anything. Your act OF purchas-
ing is not an act Of charity. What
ever money you have you possess be-
cause you have lived and worked in
the glorious United States. Today the
United States needs ready money to
help win the war, to provide food,
clothing and transportation for our
soldier boys. So our government says
70 you: Loan us $50 or 800, or what
ever amount you like, and we will pay
you 31a per cent annual interest (pay-
ments every June Is and Dec 15), and
In addition to that we will pay You
back the entire amount you lent us.
Also, il the interest rate on our bonds
goes up, we will advance your interest
to the highest rate"
That's fair, square proposition
You can't lose. The United States
helped you get what you have, and it
Is both patriotism and good business
on your part to loan the government
some of your money now. Order
United States Liberty Bonds from
your banker or your broker. Do It
today.

U. S. Liberty Bond Button
Is Your Badge of Honor

Every man, woman and child who
buys a Liberty bond will be given a
government button to wear. This
badge Of honor will be a sign to the
world that its wearer believes in the
United States, in freedom. in man
hood, In Righteousness, and has shown
his faith by his works. Many or us
are not able to fight, but there is
hardly any one who cannot buy at
least $50 Liberty bond. Remember.
too. that this $50 is not a gift: it is a
safe and sound Investment, free from
taxation, paying interest and repaying
the principal in full. You can't lose.
IL you do not buy, both you and
your country will thereby be losers.
Don't be milestone around your coun-
try's neck. Order at least one Liberty
bond today.

Sixth Federal Bank District Has High
Hopes On Selling United States
Liberty Bonds

PresideN Wilson, The cabinet and
congress are keenly awaiting news OF
the subscription for Liberty bonds.
which the government has issued TO
help in the war.
The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and ac-
cording to their districts. Our dis
trict, the sixth, includes Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama and approximately half
Of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. Few sections OF the United
States have such varied resources.
From the orange groves OF Florida TO
the steel mills OF Alabama, and from
the cotton fields OF Georgia TO the
rice plantations OF Louisiana and the
stock raising section OF Tennessee al
most every kind OF crop and manu-
featuring industry can be found. 1t
will be strange indeed il the people Of
this prosperous section are not
among the largest purchasers OF Lib
erty bonds.
The government will be very great
ly disappointed unless this great sec
ton ranks at least third in the volume
of its purchases of Liberty bonds.
Bankers OF Atlanta. Birmingham, New
Orleans, Macon, Chattanooga and
Jacksonville as well as in every small
town in the district, agree that when
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman and child
must participate. Bonds sell as low
as $50 and as high as $4,000.
Make the war loan the chief subject
Of discussion in your home. Make sure
that each member Of your family
sees his or her duty and opportunity

Make up your mind today. Don't
