HOLD. YOUR LIBERTY BONDS!

The American who buys Liberty
Bond and forthwith sells it has per-
formed only half a Service for his
country. To buy bonds and then sell
them Immediately tends to make the
war burden Of the country heavier
instead of lighter, as it decreases the
market value of the bonds.
Liberty Bonds are the safest and
soundest and one of the best invest
ments in the world. To sell them UNI
less imperatively required is not good
business, is not good Americanlsn1.

capture, illness and injuries have all

be very careful IN repeating such re-

Dying For Nothing.

nate to die-and SO do you-it's
such a foolish thing to do. We
feel, when we are cashing in that dis
solution is sin, it S such waste of
hair and bones, and all the flesh a
mortal owns. We lead our safe and
sheltered lives: we rear our kids and
teed our wives; we've lived in fat
commercial times, resolving every
thing 10 dimes. Our frugal instincts
show that waste is sin by which we
are disgraced, and so 1t causes us
distress to lose the number of our
mess; for death is waste, the thing
we dread; there is no rakeoff for the
dead. The war some consolation
brings; it's showing US a lot of things;
It's teaching US how men may die
and make noble gain thereby.
uHow sleep the brave who sink to
rest, by all their country's wishes
blest! The soldier out IN yondel
strife who gives his warm and arden,
life, that tyrants and their plots M y
fail, that freedom shall again prevail,
is wasting nothing when he dies, blu,
drawing down golden prize, and
men will see that lilies bloom abou,
the portals of his tomb. uAnd free
dom shall awhile repair, to dwell, a
weeping hermit, there" And so we
spoke in maudlin haste when we de.
clared that death is waste.

@One of the vital points of vantage
in the Vlctro1a is that 1t requires
less than half the weight to hold the

exclusive, superior advantages,
which Roark will be glad to demon
strate and explain.
