YOUR MONEY COMES BACK
Every Cent You Invest in Bonds 10
Sure to Come Back and Bring
Crop Sales, Too!

Crop Sales, Tool
The only way you will increase your
own income is by making sure that
people have money to pay increased
prices for food.
The biggest buyer of foodstuffs to-
lay is u government. 1t buys for
soldiers and sailors. 1t buys for ship
builders and munitions workers. It
buys for Red Cross and Y. M. G. A.
1t buys for starving millions abroad.
The only way the government can
keep on buying is by raising the mon
ey through Liberty loans.
The fourth Liberty loan will go on
sale September 2Sth. If you buy your
full share, you are making certain
that the government, and all the peo-
pie, have plenty of money to buy food.
Backed by the Nations Wealth.
When you buy a bond, you do not
spend any money; you merely lend,
md lend it on the best security in
he world. Back of your Liberty bond
are the entire and all the
wealth of this country. The only way
your bond can be no good is to have
the United States of America go out
If business-which naturally isn't go
ing to happen.
When you buy a bond, you do not
give away your money, but you make
sure of an income, a regular income,
twice a year. For the use of your
money, the government pays you In
terest. The more bonds you buy, the
more interest you get.
You Sell Your Crops.
When you buy a bond, you get a
wonderfully safe investment, one you
will always be proud of. Each $50
Liberty bond you buy will give the
government enough money to buy
about % bushels of wheat. If you
should have the wheat to sell, you
IAN turn around and sell the govern
ment that % bushels, and thus get
back the $50 in cash. The net result
8 that you now own your bond. have
n regular dividend twice a year from
the government, and you have the
money from your wheat besides.
Is odICE imam SdSu.
When you buy a bond, you don't
tie your money up. but you get some-
thing readily sold or readily borrow
ed on. Bankers would rather lend
money on Liberty bonds than on al
most anything else in the world. Tt
is much handler, too. to be able to
borrow on Liberty bonds than to have
TO borrow on property-less trouble
and more economical.
How You Lend Money.
Buying Liberty bonds is as easy as
buying postage stamps. Either your
bank or your trust company will get
the bonds for you, fix it so you can
nay for them easily (all at once or In
several payments scattered over the
next three months) and arrange to
keep them safe for you besides, so
that neither thief nor fire can harm
your property.
Safeguard the Home.
Buying Liberty bonds is as much a
duty TO your pocketbook, and your
family, as it is a help to your country.
Buying bonds is your message to the
kaiser that you personally are going
