No man or woman "gives" anything | by participation in Liberty Loan The word give" has nothing to do 1 With buying a government bond. When the Fourth Liberty Loan Cam l paign opens, Sept. 28, when the Ameri- Gan people begin to put down their
 names and lay down their dollars, they l will be getting the best security in the | world for every dollar invested People have discovered in the three | former loans that they are lending | money to the government, to their own government, and are not giving it. Secretary McAdoo has definitely an. rounced that the Fourth Liberty Loa1. | will bear interest at the rate of 414 l per cent. Men who deal in financial matters know that this is good rate | of interest when the value aul | strength of the security are taken intC consideration. Wise lenders alway. ] look to the strength of the securit! | first, and then to the amount of re- turns the investment will pay Back of every government bon. | stands the whole resources of the na- ton.

 wheat grows is security for the bond The whole property of the United
 States and it's people so long as thl government endures is pledged to the buyer that the bond and it's intc"cs
 will be paid exactly as stipulated. The United States has never repudi eted dollar of it's debts. It started right when it became nation. After | the Revolution there were good many Americans who thought that the debts of that war should be denied and forgotten, so that the new nation might have start free from debt But the wiser men who framed the government saw into the future. They knew that honesty is the best policy for governments as we'll as men. Sc
 they assumed the load of Revolution.

 People may give money to certain
 war work and war funds, but they are
 not giving one single dollar so far as
 the Liberty Loan is concerned. They
 
 ment, which is themselves, and they are supporting it with their dollars just as they do with their ballots and their bayonets. And unless that gov.
 ernment is supported by their dollars it will perish from the earth, in spite
 of all that can be done with ballots
 and bayonets.
 Modern war requires money in great CT sums than were ever known before in the earth's history. When the Unit
 ed States declared war against Spain Congress voted credit of $50,00O,0 ,00O
 tC back that war declaration That
 sum will not pay the presen. war eX- penses for more than a day. But every
 dollar that is spent in beating the Kaiser makes the security that is back
 of every Liberty Loan just that much i greater.
 The necessity of backing up the
 government is teaching every Ameri- | can to save money. He sees better
 what money can buy now-he under | stands it's value better, since he under | stands that his money is behind the rifles that are driving back the Hun on the west front. He thinks more of
 a dollar when he realizes that it is dol. | lars that keep the big battleships on | tie seas and that it is these same bat 1 tleships that keep the Hun from cross ing the sea and carrying the war into | America No man who buys a Liberty Bond I with his savings will feel like tax | dodger Liberty Bonds are exempt | from taxation. Taxes cannot touch it
 so long as it is loaned to the United States government.
 1 There is no one in the country too
 poor to buy Liberty Bond. Thou I sands of people in cities and country
 are buying on the installment plan,
 paying so much month or so much at 1 stated intervals. In the cities a tre-
 mendous amount of every loan is
 taken by people who are paid weekly or semi-monthly.
 The American people are learning to
 buy bonds as investments as we'll as a l patriotic duty.
