Of Joseph Donahue. administrator, va
tho Mutual Life Insurance Co. Of New

Tho company issued a policy on the

Fargo was enjoying better rates to
certain competitive points than the

line. Exact figures procured from the
500 line prove that in January this

PROMPT SUPPORT TO LOAN WILL
SHORTEN THE WAR

(By Charles E. Snyder, Editor The
Farmers Review
To the Farmers of the Country:
Is the city man more patriotic thar
the farmer?
He is not.
But-the per capital subscription
to the first Liberty Loan was $66.74
in Chicago, and only $11.24 for each
man, woman and child in the state OF
Illinois outside Of Chicago. The rec
ord stands, with, however. the second
installment of the Liberty Loan
which we now face, offering to us an
opportunity not only to show our
patriotism, our loyalty to the Stars
and Stripes, but also to obliterate
that old record which we don't like
talked about.
Many men will give their lives to
the Government-to the Government,
you understand, and that is for you
and me, for your neighbors and mine,
because all of us put together make
the Government-theyw will give their
lives without complaint; many more
men will drop their own work and
give months and even years of SER
vice to the Government at nominal
pay, and they won't complain either;
but when the Government comes to
us and wants to borrow money, in re-
turn for which we shall be given the
best security in the world-a United
States Government bond bearing a
good rate of interest, non-taxable,
readily convertible into cash-we
just put it off, we let somebody else do
it. That is so easy.
Our government wants to borrow a
little of your money today. Must it
come to you where you live, and beg
for this money and get it only be.
cause you would be ashamed to face
your neighbors if you didn't open your
purse? Or are you at heart real
American citizen? If you are you
will walk right into your local bank
or postoffice this very day and say
81 want to subscribe for a Liberty
Bond"
From a business standpoint Lib
eerty Bond is good investment.
From selfish standpoint-to make
more certain our comfortable, stay
at-home, Observation-Disclosures
ness feeling-it is also a good invest
nessment. But most of all it is good
investment because it reflects the sort
of American Citizenship that makes
this Government what it is.
You want the money for some other
investment? If you were living in
France, my dear sir, you would be
lucky to have any money at all. And
we want no French or BELGIAN expert
ence here.
The more promptly and Loyalty each
one of us subscribes for our share of
the Liberty Loan, the sooner will this
war end. We can count on that!
