The banks have subscribed
literally, but the funds of the
banks, are, for the most part,

How 1t PAYS

Now let's look on the other
side Of the picture. When this
issue is all subscribed by the
people you will find that bust
ness is increasing markedly. And
business is exceptionally good
now. But on top of present
good business there will be two
billion dollars $1,000, 600, OOO), a
staggering sum, spent in a few
months for every conceivable
kind of product. Metal of all
kinds, fabrics of all kinds, food
stuffs of all kinds, workmanship,
labor of all kinds, will be called
on to fill the needs of our gov
eminent and foreign govern
ments' buying in this market.
The entire nation will be called
on to produce as never before.
The workers of the nation will
be buying freely of all necessary
articles of merit. Right here in
our city the demand will be felt
and those things we produce be
consumed as never before. The
money we have put into Liberty
Bonds will be coming back to us
in a great volume ON TOP of
the present high tide of good
business which we'enjoy.
You will find that the sacri-
flee you made to buy Liberty
Bonds is not a sacrifice but the
best stroke of business you ever
did for yourself, your family
your friends your community.

lar.

What YOU Must Do

The need is for you, yes you,
to buy these bonds. The nation
needs the money to equip it's
men; for food; for ships. You
must not fail to protect your
country from disaster at arms
through faulty or slow equip
ment of it's men who go to fight
your battles. You must protect
yourself, your, family, your
friends, your neighbors, your
community from the disaster of
business depression and hard
times.
Remember, our panics of past
years started quickly, but we re-
covered very, very slowly from
them. And this loan must be
subscribed by June 18th.
If the average subscription
should be $400, then five million
people MUST subscribe. You
MUST be one of the subscribers.
Every family in this community
MUST subscribe to protect their
own interests, their own income,
their own livelihood, their jobs,
their future.
Subscribe all you can. Make
a real sacrifice. And remember,
that if you want our prosperity
right here to be all that it can
be, you MUST make a real sacri-
flee.
The man who does not SUBJ
scribe to these bonds will be
looked upon as a citizen unwill-

How Easy It Is

See how easy it is to subscribe
and to meet the payments. A
payment of only 2 per cent is
made with your subscription.
The balance is payable in four
instruments, up to August 3Oth.
Thus if you subscribe to a $500
bond, you pay with your SUBJ
scription, ten dollars ($1O). On
June 18th you pay ninety dollars
$500 more. On July 30th you
pay one hundred dollars ($1OO)
more. On August 18th one hun
dred and fifty dollars ($15O)
and on August 3Oth the final
payment of one hundred and
fifty dollars ($150). Thus you
can pay for a considerable part
of your subscription from your
income meanwhile.
If you have no bank account
If you have a job you MUST
subscribe just the same for we
need your help-your country
and you fellow citizens here need
your help just the same. You
can buy a $50 bond and you can
go to your employer and SUBJ
scribe through him on the par
tial payment plan. The banks
of this city have already asked
him to help you and have Of
fered to help him help you. But
you must help, too, and exert
every effort to have every friend
you have subscribe. You must
do your part to aid your coun-
try, to protect YOUR job and
make it better, to protect you
family and help us all protect
the families and the workers of
the nation.
You can buy a $50 Liberty
Loan Bond-you can do your bit.
You can pay $3.50 a week for
twenty weeks. Then you have
saved against a rainy day, a fifty
dollar bill which pays you inter-
est. You can be a real American
and fight shoulder to shoulder
with all the rest of US to keep
our flag flying high and u
families safe and prosperous and
content.

you can now? Disaster if

you do.

ment Bond-a first mortgage on
the whole United States, paying
you steady interest at 3R per

the -wealthiest nation in the
world. No investment you have
today, can compare in safety
with these Liberty Loan Bonds.
But we do not advise your
throwing over other investments
to buy these bonds, attractive
though they are. A great many

ments at the same time unset

which threatens every family in this city,
every family in the nation.

But subscription in the WRONG
WAY means disaster. Read every word
of this advertisement-cut it out, take it
home and study it. Your help is needed
and needed seriously.

EXEMPTION BOARD.

The exemption board for Carroll
County has a very important task
to perform. 1t is not only an inn
portant duty, but it carries with it
much responsibility. The men,
bers of the board deserve and
should have the hearty coopera-
tion of everyone. They are not
working for remuneration, but
their time and service is given in
patriotic response to the call of the
government, and what they do will
be in accordance with positive in
struction from the government.
The work will be ardous, trying,
and, at times, unpleasant duties
will have to be performed. These
duties, however unpleasant, can not
be shirked, and it will be viola
tion of law, with a heavy penalty
attached, to show partiality or fa-
voritsm.
These men deserve the assistance
of every patriotic citizen of. the
county, and you will be doing a
service to the country by aiding
them in the proper performance
of their arducus Carroll
