Don't BURY Your Bond.

When you and your neighbor have
bought your Liberty Bonds, don't take
them home and hide them in the cup
board. Take them to your country
banker and have him give you certifi-
Gates of deposit for the bonds. Your
banker can take these bonds to a Fed
era1 Reserve bank and borrow money
for your use in cas- you suddenly find
yourself in need of funds. Hiding a
bond is as bad as boarding money. Keep
the bonds and the money in circula-
ton and the country will pull through
this crisis all right.

The Safest Guide.

The much-praised optimist, although
to be admired, is not a safe guide. He
tells us all is well, when it is not.
He fails to see the pitfalls and urges
us forward and we fall into them.
Likewise the pessimist, although
Stunned and berated, leads us to be
over cautious. Under his influence we
hopelessly sit down for fear we will
fall into the pit, when there is none.
The cautious leader who watches.
waits, and withal is patient expecting
the world to move forward. is always
most trustworthy.

Every farmer knows how his boys

farmers boys are in France and the
farmer doesn't want them to go hun
gry over there. Liberty Bonds buy
food for them.
