THE $500 BOND.

1t has been carefully estimated that
the proceeds of one 500 Liberty
Loan Bond will fully clothe, arm, and
equip one American soldier. Each
purchaser of Liberty Loan Bond for
500 may feel that his or her money
is. doing its individual part in the
arming and equipping of one of our
country's soldiers. To some who wish
that they could actively serve their
country in the field but who have
been denied this privilege this gives
a specific. tangible nature to an in
vestment in a Liberty Loan Bond.

Music is NECESSARY in war. There
is inspiration in the sound Of the fife
and drum. Men OF normal courage
will fight bravely when across the
field of battle come the thrilling notes
of the fife and the muffied beat OF
the drum.
1t was the fife and the drum that
led our forefathers up Bunker Hill
and even the days of the late wa'
were marked by the encouraging rhy-
thin of the fife and drum.
At the beginning of the European
war Lord Kitchener advised against
the organization of fife and druin
corps. He declared it was a useless
waste % men. and men were needed
to fight. not to play music. This
sounded odd. coming from a veteran
of many campaigns. He must have
known the important part that music
has played in all wars since the very
beginning of time.
When he advised against contin-
uation of the fise and drum coros in
the army he was met with loud and
bitter protest, not only from the men
in line. but from the officers and the
press of England.

declare in print that the idea was alb
