You Want Your Job,
Don't You?

Brother, you don't want
business depression we know.
You don't want factories
closed down, shops closed up,
men out of work, old people
and little children without
enough to eat-the very poor
starving. We know you don't,
but you haven't realized the
danger yet. But we are at war.
AT WAR-and dangers go
hand in hand with war and
cannot be separated from it.
And if you do your part, if
you make a real sacrifice and
subscribe to as much of the
Liberty Loan as you can stag
ger under if yourally shoulder
to shoulder with the ten mill
lion regular Americans who
MUST buy these bonds, in a
few months time you will
see a further flood tide of
prosperity as that S2,OO0.O0O,-
900 is spent ON TOP of our
present active business and
this community, and every
worker in it will share in the
business victory you have
helped to win.

Brother, you don't want to
be a Stacker, do you?

But there is something you
CAN do, and MUST do, some
thing that everyone of us
MUST do, and that is sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan.
The nation must have ST.
100000, NOW. There are
bonds of $50, 500, $500, and
upwards. They pay 31a per
cent and are the safest invest
ment that has ever been
known. They are a first mort
gage on the wealth of the
United States, now the great
est wealth of the world. It's
like buying a ten dollar mort
gage on a million dollar bank
building.
1t is only common sense to
put your money in them-but
you must WAKE up to it.
The Liberty Loan MUST be
subscribed by June 18th. Your
subscription is N E ED I'D
NOW. :
When our boys abroad are
called on to go through a cur
tain of fire, there will be no
hanging back-they'll go IN
in spite of every ones
knowing that only some of
them will go THROUGH
alive. And they'll laugh, and
sing "There'll be a hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight"
just as they did at Santiago,
because that's the kind of
stuff that's in them.
What kind of stuff is there
in you, brother? We want you
to go in NOW. The nation
needs your help-very badly.
Are you going to hang back?
We don't believe you would
knowingly be a Stacker.
You'll do your bit if you know
about it. And you know about
it now, and the call has come
the nation needs you to do
your bit today.

How to Do 1t.

If you have a bank account
go to your bank and sub
scribe. Your first payment
need be only 2 per cent of the
whole and the balance in four
payments up to August 80. If
you buy a 500 bond your first
payment need be only So.
If you have no bank ac-
count go to your employer
and subscribe through him.
You can buy a $50 bond and
pay $3.50 a week to him until
all paid for.
There is no excuse for your
NOT doing your bit-and
every one will know it.
Do your bit NOW.
Subscribe to a Liberty
Bond before the day is
over, And when any,
one asks you, show him
the receipt from your
bank or boss and grin,
and say "YOu betcha,
friend! You betcha,"
like a regular American
who did not wait until
the last day or until he
was ragged into it, but
who VOLUNTEERED
who didn't hang back a
minute when his country
called.
