The Now l. berty Bond Drive will corlnercc April 9th.
 There 1re two urgent reasons Thy we should buy these bonds.
 The first is Patriotism. When our forefathers sled their blood md gave their lives to establish he liberty we now enjoy - can 7e afford to lose that liberty?
 By lending our dollars to the Government we can help to pre- serve that liberty. It is not a question of what we can afford. ye cant afford not to.
 We know what Germany did .o Belgium and Northern France
 Do we want the same thing done to us.
 The second reason for buy ing bonds is 8 selfish one. An obligation of the U. $. Govern ment is the worlds premier security: it can be sold at a moments notice: you can bor- row on it at the lowest possible rate of interest.
 The three essentials of victory are men, materials and money.
