 Today real Americans regard with aversion the man CT woman who lends aid Or comfort to or sympathizes with -ae common enemy of liberty.

an hay and straw must now be requi-
slti0ned FOR the exclusive use Of the
army Both barley and oats have like

And, fortunately. the American poo-

habits IN 1917, by buying bonds on =
colossal scale. The Treasury Depart
lheul has learned where and how TO

It has built up, through the splendid
and unslinled cooperation OF busi-
ness Interests generally. but through
banking institutions and bond houses
In particular, the greatest bcnl-selling
organization that has ever been known
Not only has tho public acquired the
habit OF lending but, more important
that OF saving in order that 1t may

But II we adrc TO win this war we
must realize thoroughly that a Stacker
dollar is on par with a draft dOdger
or @ shirker OF work.
We should remember in this counec-
tion that when we buy Liberty Bonds
we are really allocaing certain
amount Of labor 10 the country's ser
vice. BY purchasing these bonds we
are temporarily surrendering to tbs
government invaluable labor. receiving
compensation for its use. with the as
