THE FORMER KAISER"

Of men, trying to conquer the world

If war is to continue, buy bonds
and have your money fighting before
it is too late for you to be repre-
sented.
If it is to be peace, read the words
Of the wisest financial expert in this
country, buy bonds eagerly and self
ishly.
Mr.. Friend, who writes in the Chi
cago Herald and Examiner under the
name "Boersianer," knows more
about world finance than any other
man writing in this country. Said
he, discussing peace:
watch the bond market, and you
will see that men who know think
peace is coming. Good bonds are
rising and the nearer peace the high
er they win rise, especially good gov
eminent bonds"
You can buy your Liberty bond
now for $100--par value. After the
war ends hose bonds will no longer
be bought for 500. Steadily the
price will creep up. Read the fol-
lowing true story:
Years ago Morgan & Company had
arranged to buy government bonds
for less than they were worth, a
little over 100 for a A per cent Unit
ed States bond.
Joseph Pulitzer, a fighting news
paper man, determined that the bonds
should not sell for less than they were
worth to Morgan or anybody else.
He denounced the proposed deal in
his newspaper, the New York World,
demanding that the people be allowed
to buy their own per cent govern
ment bonds at 40.
One day his wife said: Joseph,
you talk about the bonds being worth
ITO. Why don't you buy some of
them yourself at that price?"
In less than a minute Mr.. Pulitzer
was at the telephone calling up Du-
mont Clarke, then president Of the
American Exchange National Bank,
saying;
"Mr. Clarke, bid 10 for million
dollars of those government bonds.
Buy them for me-"
Pulitzer bought the million dollars
worth of bonds, paid one million one
hundred thousand dollars for them.
That single purchase shook up the
deal that would have sold the bonds
to the Morgans.
The bonds were sold in small allot-
ments to the people-and ITO was
the lowest price pals.
Joseph Pulitzer kept his bonds and
sold every one of them FOR MORE
THAN A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
DOLLARS, making ten dollars profit
on each, besides interest.
Do you think peace is coming?
Then this is the time to buy bonds
and make profit.
Do you believe that the war will
go on, this is the time to buy and
prove that you are fit to share in the
prosperity awaiting those that de-
serve it.
Are we nearing the end of war,
is the fire nearly out TO STAY OUT?
If so, what blessing to humanity,
what a wonderful rebirth for the
civilization of the world.
Power, money and intelligence will
will go into construction instead Of |
destruction.
Having learned how to spend |
money and use men, the government |
will spend and use wisely for the |
worlds improvement.
Fo ra fraction of what it has spent |
in war, this nation can drain all its
swamps and destroy the mosquitoes,
disease carriers.
It can irrigate all its deserts, pro-
viding fertile homes for millions of |
families.
It can make Of the inland Lake
cities ocean ports connected with the
Gulf Of Mexico, and all the ports of
the world by great canal from Chi
cago to the Mississippi and out past
New Orleans.
The government can, in these
works, find useful employment for
The soldiers that viii come back en-
titled to good work and good pay in
return for risking Their lives.
The new day, the peace that is
hoped for, will mean the end of
financial superstition, the end of fool
shness that fears government power,
