OH BOY! AMT 1T A GRAND AND
GLORIOUS FEELIN'


notice from your Liberty Loan committee direct
ing you to appear at your polling place between the
hours of a. M and p. m. Saturday, September
%, to sign your subscription card for the Fourth
Liberty Loan. If you did not experience little
thrill Of pride and satisfaction when you tlnshed
reading this notice, there is something wrong
with your carburetor.
Taking it for granted that you are an average
American and gaugng your experience by our
own we are confident that you did register little
Jingle This proves that contact has been estab-
lished with the current of patriotic energy which
is pulsating through the nation today, radatng
from the central power plant at Washington 1t
is positive indication that you belong; that you
are one of the bunch.
And Oh Boy Isn't it Grand and Glorious
Feeling? --.. w.
Most of us, here in these glorious United States
of America, have drfted along, occupied with our
own AFFAIRS giving little attention to national mat
ters secure in the knowledge that we had coun-
try and that it was the best and bravest on earth
but content that others should manage this coun-
try for us, and feeling, down in our hearts, that
we personally did not count much one way or an
other:
Today we discovered that we do count; that
Uncle Sam has sized US up and has put us down as
one of the men who go to make up his great fam
ily, and as one of those whom he may depend
upon.
Somehow, it makes one feel sort Of different !;
it makes one feel more important and more re-
sponsble, and it brings home more forcibly the
fact that democracy is just you and l and Jack
and Bill and the other fellow all working together
-, oil tufi .
all holding much the same beliefs and ideas, and
all striving toward the same ideals.
Will we be there at our polling place bright and
early Saturday morning? You may bet your last
dollar that we will And will we whine or kick or
bubble when we discover how much Uncle Sam
figures we can help on this Fourth Liberty Loan
You can just bet your last red cent we won't For
even though it hurts and we don't expect that it
will even though it may mean sacrificing some
pleasure or foregoing some luxury we're not 60
ing to be found wanting when Uncle Sam is count
ing on -.
We're tickled all pink to think that after all we
do count; that among the hundred million people
in these United States we belong, and that Uncle
Sam is good enough to consider us one Of the
bunch.
If there's one thing more than another that an
American hates it is to be left out on good thing
to feel that someone has said, "Oh he doesn't
count-we can't depend on him-we'll just pass
him up, but we want Smith and Brown in on this.
No, we like to be in on good thing, and we don't
know of a better thing than this Fourth Liberty
Loan. Hs-..'. ....... ..s-.<
Citizenship is going to mean whole lot more to
great many of us after Saturday. Citizenship is
something worth having, in these United States
Of America, and anything worth having is worth
paying for, and we're able to pay, and ready to
pay, and by heck, we're going to pay. We're 60
ing to become stockholders in the greatest corpor
alton on earth, stockholders whose principal is
cured by the best collateral in the world and whose
dividends are guaranteed, in corporation whose
product is Freedom, For All and Forever.
