Some of The Bits Your Liberty Bond
 Will Do

If you buy a $10G bond of the Fourth Liberty Loan you are lending the United States Gov ernment enough money to feed a soldier in France a little more than seven months. Or you have furnished enough money to give a complete outfit of winter and sumner clothing. including shoes and stockings, and slicker and overcoat and blankets. with enough left over to arm him with a good revolver. You have done that much to beat back the Hun.
 It takes $35 more to arm him with a rife with bavonet on it, and if you buy a second S1OO bond you furnish him this rifle and 1000 cartridges for it; and there will still be enough of your money left to purchase a good sized bonn b to throw in dugout, or demolish a machine gun to

"Yes, she is lovely. And see what

The last word caught serious-mind-
