You know what they would do to
you and your women-a fate far worse
than death. You know how Huns have
laid bare the countryside they have
conQuered-no animal Or plant al-
lowed to survive, wen trees and vines
cut or close to the ground. Rural
homes demolished, harms burned.
You know how the Boches enslave

This final struggle for the survival
Of the nttest among humans demands
every ounce OF our energy. every cent
Of our money. Noble men and wom-
en- are periodically devoting some or
all OF their time. without money and
without price. to help Uncle Sam win
q victory. Others are giving produce
or money to the good cause. Millions
Of our healthiest young men. the very
seed Of the race. are sacrificing their
lives that you and I and others may
live Ia peace.
The very least that each Of Us can
do now IL to lend our money to Uncle
Sam 30 that he will have the funds
with which to fight. The war is cost
Ing billions. The only way the gov
eminent can get the money is to Dor

Of them. The more the public lends
to the government. the less taxes Il
will have to pay.
You can help In this crisis by sub
scribing to the fourth Liberty loan-
These government bonds are the safest
investment on earth. They are abso-
lutely good. They yield good interest.
You can get your interest money twice
a year. II you have to use your prin-
cipal, you can sell your bond any min
ute, or You can use II as security at
the bank to borrow for temporary
wants. The latter Is the better way.
because 1t doesn't help the government
any for you to sell your bond or for
somebody else to buy your bond. Get
your bond direct from the government;
then your money goes direct to the
government and will be used by 1t to
pay the wages Of soldiers and sailors
and to furnish the ships and munitions
with which they shall win the VIC
tory.

In our rural homes. on our farms. IN
the trenches, In other branches Of serv-
ice, In subscriptions to the Liberty
bonds and War stamps, our American
farmers have repeatedly gone over the
top. Their efforts, their patriotism,
their loyalty. have been universally
recognized. Now In this fourth Lib
erty loan our rural folks will show
the same generous confidence in the
eternal principles OF human liberty and
Of self government that were cham
pioned by those Middlesex farmers:
