tAe com rows. He swung his cult vator around lifted the sh0vsle % the vet earth would not rust their glitter 1As surfaces and unhitched his team. The next day he wAs on his way to Camp Taylor and tho nent day he vas m khaki. Ills younger brother vas in the fold carrying on his vork
 It vas sundovn . few days latav when Raymond Browns father spoAe of the war, war sffts and government l~Ans as he saw them. There vAs maybe . dosen mon in front of the blacksmith shop as he talked
 Yes, Raymond's gone" he said. 1t makes things look lot different. Last winter I gave . dollar to the Red Cross and helped out little a while back when the Y. II. c. A. wanted help, and that money was a aft. I bought some var stAnpe-mind you, bought thsm-and was slad I could.
 But let me tell you that when the next Liberty Loan comes around I'll buy two dollars worth whore bought one before. That boys going to be in France one of these days and 1t is . far country. l am not 0oing to fail him when he gets over there. And every dollar put in bonds is just that much protection for him. It backs him up and makes his fight easier. The man who goes deserves all we can dc for him and for the country that is sending him Across. And, after all, We are buying something that is As good and better than the money we pay for It when we buy a bond. But you have to feel this war come close to know just why you ought to buy Q bond"
 There are more Raymond Browns in the army now than there were lest June. and more fathers and kinfolks are thinking about the lad who stepped away from the home fires to the hell fires that never die down on the west front
 There will be a vim and . determt- nation in ths Fo1sth Liberty koAn ssb- scy1rttons that viii be greater than b. fore Then. too, the man who hos 10 rslativss tn the army, who is just . plain 0odfeaytnG American citasen, is feeling the thing . little hasoss. HAs love of c0antry may rot be . thing tlsat Ae talks abost very nsch. bot Ae fssls h He may net be able to ASive bayonst theo00h . Hun. bat he oAn make his velGht feit vAso it cones to . war loan and hs proposes to o 1t.
 The nan vho thinks sees very eaeAs- ly tAaa vAsu he puts his money into . Liberty Loan he is pstting 1t into something that vill come back as sure l,. as bis government lives. Only the fool or the pro German says that the Liberty Loans are a poor investment. The American knows that his govern ment will do just what 1t says it will
 He gives his money for a bond that fig a solemn promise to pay his money back at the end of a certain number of years. He knows that the interest will be paid just as surely as anything can be in the world No l. w w, no American Bolshevik with foreign name and foreign twist to his tongue is going to shatter the American's con
 
 ing to maintain,
 We simply lend. and the money comes back with interest The bond is as good az American gold and js backed by every acre of land, every piece of property and by the blood of every man in America.
 The more money we raise the sooner we finish the Job of smashing the Kai ser. That is about the sum and the substance" of the whole matter Amer lea is in the var with every man and a clean and quick Job of it.
 It ie evervbody's Wsr It Is no rich mans war no poor mans war, but H is everyb oiy's fight. The rich man is buying bi bonds and fighting in the army and the poor man Ia buyins what he oAn and lighting in the same avmy We are swing our men but we are lending our money.
 You can give money to the Amey1- can Red Crcss. and you ought to b. proud of the privilege.
 When the Y. M. c. A. asks fos money 1t asks 1t as . gift The Y. V. C. A. has no bonds to sell
 You can give money to the Knights of Columbus, to the Salvation Army War Fund and to other wnr>workins bodies, but you cannot give money to the United States of America.
 But you can lend 1t, and the interest Is at the fair and reasonable rate of %A per cent for the Fourth Liberty Loan that opens Sept, 2S.
 You have the best of reasons for lending 1t. Out from your doorway, or from that of the house next door, a young man in khaki has gone with the coiors" He is fighting in France today or Is training to go overseas. IL is the job of the stay-at-home to bach him up. The man back home must put . ride tp hts hands. cartridges in his seit, . uniform en his back and bread in his mouth. While the lad in khaki is offering and giving his rfe. the man who buys & Liberty Bond Is not gtv-
