THE LIBERTY LOAN FEEDS AND CLOTHES
OUR SOLDIERS


Since the beginning of the war, we have spent
for Army use S37, 900 900 for -four; $14,000,0oO
for sugar; $40, 900 900 for bacon s12 900 for
beans; $4,000, 900 for canned tomatoes, and S3,-
100000 for rice. These are only some OF the
large items in our Armys bill of fare We have
spent s126, 900, 900 for shoes; over $500,0O0,O0O
for clothing, winter and summer; nearly $780,
0O0,O 900 for blankets
Our axes for the Army have cost over S6,00O,-
600; our rolling kitchens $47,ooO,0OO and field
ranges s1,50o,00o
The army is using 100000 shovels costing
ST apiece. Our motor trucks to carry supplies
nd ammunition cost $240000,000, and for horse
drawn wagons and carts we have spent $37, 900
ooo Our $4,000 horses and $4,000 mules have
cost over s60,ooo00O and the harness for them
nearly $50, 100000.
These figures are large but we have nearly
1000. 900 men in France and nearly as many in
cantonments here, and the United States and the
people of the United States, through the Liberty
Loan are making these soldiers as safe an das
comfortable, as powerful and effective as pos
sible
Every subscriber to the Liberty Loan has
helped, and every subscriber to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will help to win the war.
The American people will ego over the top
with the Fourth Liberty Loan with a rush
This Loan will be the best marketed Loan in
the history of world finance. AS result of the
house to house canvass which has been developed
d11rinu the three ,ravio,1c F;hoyt.y r oar COW
paigns the various Liberty Loan committees have
built up wonderful organization which probably
will be represented by the largest number of
bond statesmen who have ever engaged in such a
crusade. The whole nation has become keenly
alive to the necessity of winning the war.
1t has also become conversant with the i'm
portant details of war finance. It stands to
reason that with government expenditures
Tor war OUTLAWS and loans to its Allies of more
than S50,000,000 day an immense amount of
money is required to finance the needs 1t has
been of great benefit to the people to place these
government bonds among little investors every
where. Several million people in the United
States own today one or more government bonds
who never before knew what it was to possess
DoSiA q eSooI ne i1luICdtiOnS are therefore
that after the war is over, the United States
will rival France as nation of government bond
holders. The war savings stamp and thrift
stamp campaign has also been helpful along the
same lines The American bond market is to-
day the strongest and broadest bond market in
the world No other belligerent nation has any
thing like the potential bond market to appeal
hoe
an immense achievement which will be of the
greatest advantage to all classes of the popula-
ton
