 to our country-and those are the things of which most of us are speak ing these days-why not buy Third Liberty bond or two?
 If ever a thing was we'll named the Liberty bond is.e It stands for lib- erty-for liberty not only for our own people but for all the peoples of the world-liberty from despotism, from imperialism, from militarism, and, most of all, liberty from Prussianism, which, summed up, is the other three isms rolled into one.
 And, likewise, it Is a bond-a bond of faith, bond of honor, a bond of re- liability, bond of security, backed up by the government of the United States of America, it's assets, it's good name, it's credits, its power, and its possessions of whatsoever nature.
 Flag Is Worth Defending.
 This generation is just now engag- ing upon the tasks of preserving and perpetuating what our forefathers earned for us. If the heritage they handed down to us was worth taking, it is worth keeping; if the flag they fought under is worth living under, it is worth defending; if the government they established is government that should endure, if it's securities are staple and stable, 1t is our duty to in- vest in these securities, to prove the
 value of our own citizenship to our selves by the confidence and the trust
 we show in our own institutions. The Liberty bond issue gives us that chance
 without entailing the slightest risk upon our part.
 When we buy Liberty bonds we are helping our country, helping as right eous a cause as ever sent nation to battle, and at the same time we are safeguarding our savings and earning a decent rate of interest on our money. We can't lose; we are bound to win. Thieves may break in and moths may corrupt, but Liberty bond is as solid as Plymouth rock and as honest as the Declaration of Independence. If 1t goes down, our government goes down with 1t, and then your money wouldn't do you any good anyway. If you had kept 1t stored up it would be confis- cated by a gentleman in spiked hel- | met with spiked mustaches and spiked way of saying "Verboten" to practically everything you wanted to do.
 Backing Is the Best. As long as the Stars and StripeA float the Liberty bond will be alOft too. The Liberty bond is guaranteed by every inch of our soil, by every shred
 of our traditions, its promise to pay is 1 predicated on every ship that flies our flag, on every pennyweight of railroad 1 iron in our land, on every peppercOrn | in our granaries, on every dollar of our circulation, on every rod of navi- | gable river, on every furlong of high way, on every gill of water in every 1 American harbor, on every pebble in | the Rocky mountains, -on every blade of growing grains on everything that | we, as people, own and ever have 1 owned and ever shall own. And, while we are on the subject, I might add that l 1t Is predicated on something more be- | sides. It is predicated on Bunker Hill on Independence hall; on the little apple tree at Appomattox on the cor nerstOne of building at Washington, D. C., called the national capitol. A
 man who wouldn't be satisfied with that collateral wouldn't risk a pewter dime for the hope of eternal salvation. Don't wait for somebody else to take your share of the best investment that is open to patriot. Our great Revo-
 lutionary granddaddies weren't that sort. Their motto wasn't, "Let George do it." They helped George do it Don't sell Uncle Sam short. Don't be bear on the Old Glory market. Don't make your own country ashamed of you.
 Buy Liberty bond!
