ARE YOU A GUTTER?
 ARE YOU 4 PATRIOT?
 HOLD ID YOUR BONDS
McAdOO Gives Seven Good Reasons Why You Should Hold on to Your Liberty Bonds.

Washington, Dec. 12-Secretary of Treasury, w. G. McAdoo has issued the following stateemnt in regard to Liberty Bonds:
 Hold your Liberty Bonds and War Savings Certificates.
 ."Hold them first because they are the best investment in the world, backed by every resource in the United States.
 "Hold them because you have made a sacrifice in order to buy them. Why pass on to someone else contract you have entered into with your Govern ment?
 Hold them because even though the war may be over it has not yet been paid for. The Treasury Depart ment must soon issue more bonds. Every sale now made by you makes future Government issues more diffi- cult and more expensive. Thus expense can be borne only by the people of the United States, therefore, why add to the already large burden? "Iold them because the time may come when such an investment will prove to be true friend in time of need, a guarantee against the fear of death sand insurance against real hardship.
 Hold them because the need for saving is not over. Government ex- penses are today larger than at any 1 time during the war. Our boys in France and Germany must still be paid and fed and clothed, and when their work is over, transported home. They have not 4uit-why should you? | Hold your Liberty Bonds instead of exchanging them for some other se- called Security" Because you know 1 the security of your United tSates lbond and you cannot know the worth tof what is offered in exchange. The r"getrich quick" crook is ready to steal
 your bonds from you at the first op- lportunity.
 "Hold them because of the interest they pay. Hold them because it is good
 business to do so. What good will the idle pleasure and needless luxuries
 bought today with the proceeds of your bonds be to you year from now ::
 Your bond works for you, drawing in- lterest day and night, week days and Sundays.
 Hold your bonds---don't be a quit ter, be patrio."

 In addition to giving reasons why Iall should hold their Liberty Bonds MT McAdoo calls for a faithful con-
 pliance with your obligations to buy
 war securities in the following ap- lpeal:
 "I most earnestly urge upon you
 that your organization make every
 possible effort to the end that pledges for the purchase of War Savings Stamps be fulfilled before the close o1
 the year The governments monetary requirements were never greater nor , more pressing than they are today Expenditures for November were
 greater than in any similar period . These expenditures growing out of the
 war must be met by borrowing from
 the people and their magnificent re sponse heretofore to the governments f requirements make me confident thai
 they will not fail to continue thell : resulting from war necessities will Ot l support to the end that all payments promptly met. Much remains to Dc
 done. Our brave troops must be main
 tained and paid until their work + fully accomplished and they are re turned to their homes. This is not ; , time for us to relax our efforts ant f the treasury department is making
 plans for larger and even more i'm portant work during the coming year Please make every effort to bring thi l statement before the people in you $ district and to urge upon them tn continued holding of their war saving certificates.
