Must Do Oar Best.
Never. really. was there such 8
~timulant given rs to do without the
nonessential and save. Not only is ii
saving for our boys and helping them
to fight, but It Is saving for them when
they come home and saving for our
selves. Is there in Imagination, q
prouder parent than that father or
mother. who when his or her boy
comes home from serving his country.
can open drawer and pull out neat
little package of Liberty loan bonds7
That is what we mean by keeping the
home-hres burning" by backing up
our boys" by doing out bit The
only point is that we should change
the latter to doing our best" We've
done our pit in the past loans; ia
this fourth losn We should do our
best" We want to be able o show
our boy bond or two or three in each
loan not have him ask: "Oh. didn't
you get in on the fourth ,"

Our boys "Over there" are doing with

All We are asked to do Is TO do without
here something and there something
and by doing this We are patriots
And all the time while we are ad

IN the war and feed ard clothe our
boys. This ycsrit needs about $4,000
/ 600 GOO This amount it must get from
the people. And if the people won't
loan In bonds it must take in taxes.
Hence, the more we loan the less ~e
will have 20 give.
It's all o question Of saving, saving,
saving and never was there better
time TO begin than now with the Lib

man who has no ready money with
which 70 buy the bonds IS the very
man that the government wants above
an other classes of men "a loan il his

dollar and there with quarter. Il Is
the finest kind of money 10 give 70 our
country. the money that We save by
some act Of selfdenial II isn't the
money that We have in the bank that
we want 70 draw out and buy Liberty
bonds with: it is the money that next
winter we can save. month by month
That Is really helping your boy over
there !" helping the government Il
