Why Should We Buy Liberty Bonds?
What are government bonds and what
good are they to the country?
A little piece of paper is all you re-
ceive. But they do lots of things. They
help to pay the war expenses, buy am
guns and equip the soldiers
with comforts and needs, furnish ships
to carry all these across the seas.
A bond is a receipt for money loaned
to the government by citizens. 1t is also
a promise to repay the money, with in
terest. at a certain time.
The loaned money goes to compiler the
Germans, who, because of their actions,
we call terrible enemies, although if their
rulers were taken away the people would
probably be content to live in peace with
he other countries.
There is one way the boys and girls
If America can help back our soldiers
md make them win this terrible war.
There are lot of men in America who {
annot shoulder guns, but who can help
heir country by buying Liberty bonds ,

The money which is invested in the
,onds is in safety and draws interest,
While if il were in the house it might be !
burned or stolen.
The name, Liberty bond, is very appro-
'riate, as the money goes to secure
american liberty. d
The government is asking the people h
o have at least one Liberty bond in
very home. 1t is now having its third S
Aoerty loan drive, which lasts until b

itizens, as we all hope they are, and p
an afford it, they will buy bond. q
hey will be proud of you for having re- o
linded them of it.
The government bonds are sold at al a
lost any bank and some stores and bust n
ess houses, so ii is not hard to get them 81
