Why People Should Buy Liberty

By Betty Seward, Lake school, Aged 1s.
Omaha, Neb, Eighth Grade, Miss
Roys, Teacher
think the reason people should
purchase Liberty bonds of the third
Liberty loan is to show how much you
stand by your president, country and
dag. Also as the old saying goes,
Where your money is, so is your
heart" And l believe it is so with
everybody who buys Liberty bonds.
Remember Belgium!
Altman swihart. Age II, 1880 South Twenty
sixth Street, Park School, Omaha,
Neb. Miss Newcomb. Teacher.
Remember the fate of Belgium. The
Huns would delight in repeating their
oarbarous acts in America. Will you
let them? No! Then give till it
pinches. Buy bonds so the onward
march of the most cruel despot may
De checked. Our future depends on it.

Every person should have enthu-
siasm enough to help buy Liberty
bonds. Think of the terrible things
he Beast of Berlin" has done. Then,
why not help in any way to win.
Americans, get a little more pep"
IN yourselves and see what you can
DO. Bonds are great part of this
war. Don't try to be behind in this
'espect.
g.. The Third Liberty Loan.

High School. Seventh Grade. Miss
Sovereign. Teacher.
The soldiers need food, clothing,
ammunition, guns and airplanes. How
do you think they will get these?
They can't unless you help them.
Don't be a Stacker. If you can't go
to war, you can buy a bond. Some
have given sons and surely you can
give money.
