One Bond Not Enough
The fact that a man or woman
buys a $50 bond is not sufficient to
tag that man or woman with ne
plus-ultra badge of patriotism, ac-
cording to team workers to-day.
With banks and employers ready to
finance bond purchases on the pay
ment of 81 week, said the work.
ers, it is a mighty simple matter TO
purchase bonds in much larger de-
nominations and totals than $50.
"A man who has $500 with which
to buy bonds outright owes it to
the nation to buy $400 or $500 worth
of bonds. pay the 5000 down and
) mortgage his future earnings for the
balance. It's what we save that
counts
Will Have to Hurry
Harrisburg will have to hurry
if it is going to buy $6,OOO,OOO worth
of bonds" said Donald Mccormick
this morning. while many indi-
viduals are doubling their previous
purchases there are a great many
more who are buying simply what
they did in the Third issue. That
won't put us over. Out quota is
twice what it was in April. 1 don't
suppose. there is a man or woman
in the district but who knows what
the Liberty Bond is and who also
knows that it is his or her duty to
buy bonds-just as much a duty as
to support the family. That being
understood, it should also be under
stood that the United States is trying
through voluntary subscriptions to
| finance the war.
II suppose a law were passed max
| ing the next loan compulsory one
that is, each man would have to
| buy bonds in direct proportion tc
his earnings, no matter where the
| shoe pinched. We can avoid con-
| scription of this sort if we buy bonds
voluntarily"
