we have put the pressure on the
young men, soldiers, to send them,
/; Is only fair for our government
TO put this pressure on the money
force To get the money for this
great work, We have two methods
ona is the direct way, or conscrip-
rion OF money, There should be a
eonseription OF money Tor wal as
well as a CONSUMPTION Of soldiers
The numerous taxes is method OF
CONSUMPTION. The other way is TO
borrow the money We know. and
must bear in mind. that this war
cannot be carried on without debt
1--WE have been asked that the peo-
fple or the United States shall lend
the government $4,000, 100000; the
government cannot borrow abroad
foreign countries are paying inter
est into this country. we couldn t
isell our bonds abroad we don I
want to: 80 there comes into this
loan, personal patriotism. We
can get little better interest else
where, we can get little better
interest at the banks, but we are
asked to show our patriotism and
help the government The Liberty
Loan Is a method of the govern
ment to borrow money. We notice
that this Ii In way we can all
help, all can be money lenders. A
few years ago the bond holder was
a marked man, while now we can all
become bond holders Here is

stration your patriotism, for $50
Will pay for bond SO that those
OF small means can help, as we'll as
those Of large means The presi-
dent OF the United States has set an
example and has bought $4,000 of
bonds, but learn that the youngest
| bond holder is babe at Twin
Falls, who has bond Of 500 the
grandmother bought bond for
this grandchild Of two days old. So
that, as the President and the babe
are bond holders. 30 may we be.
Rockefeller has bought $4,000
900 OF the bonds, and had the
privilege OF showing his patriotism,
but you may show yours and buy a
| $50 bond
Banks, post offices and various
places will look after your subscrip-
lions, for these bonds, and give you
any explanations The conditions
are for you to pay 2 per cent on ap-
plication, Is per cent on June 20,
20 per cent on July 80. on August
1t. 80 per cent. 80 per
cent on August 80. as described
In this pamphlet, and by the way
the applications must be all in be-
fore the 18th of June. AS you will
see 1t gives you until August 80
to pay for this, and there is an
other advantage, that II during this
war there Is another issue of bonds
hat a higher rate OF interest, than
the 3 " per cent, these bonds may
be exchanged for the bonds OF a
higher rate. No commission is
made for selling these bonds, you do
not have to pay for anything but
the bond itself, all of your money
goes to the government.
Dear friends, there Is so much |
more that could be said, but | ,
want to give one other motive, at |
this time 1t is not so much the
alone, but the moral influence, the |
effect on public and the world senti-
ment.
Germany has said that America
would not contribute TO the war;
now the great question Is, shall we |
give the idea to Germany that we |
are not merely commercial people, |
and money makers, but ready to
meet the Issue, as the German peo-
pie are supporting their govern
ment? There has been abroad the
impression that the American peo-
pie do not support this great war,
80 we can show now, that we do sup
port this great war in its time OF
need.
In one of the wars in this coun
try of ours, some one said millions
for defense but not one cent for
tribute" There has been the dec
laration that If we do not win in
this war, in place of having to pay
two billions of dollars, we may have
to pay the war debt of Germany,
which is twenty billions Do you
throw up your hands and say this
We do not know; there is not a
military power in the world can
handle them single handed; If we
do not fight Germany and conquer
with the Allies, we may have to
fight Germany ALONE, and 1t will
be a costly war.
For the sake of our country, for
the sake of this peoples influence
when the war is over we must be
a part, and a mighty part in this
great conflict. Then appeal to
you toy help the soldier at the front
as the man behind can do, by doing
your part We are nation att
war, the soldier with gun, the far
mer with hoe, all with a Liberty
Loan, THE Spirit of 1917" Every
soldier al the front goes to help,
am ! doing my part in the rear?
For the sake OF peace,
