women MUST HELP
RAISE WAR FUNDS.
Lovers of Home and Country
Called to the CoIors.
ALL CAN BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Wives, Sisters, Mothers, Sweetheart
Never Before Called Upon to Play
Such a Vastly Important Part
Lend Your Money.
(By DIx.)


Buy a Liberty bond, ladies'. No mat
ter how many you nave bought before,
stretch a point and buy another.
You can't shoulder q gun and go off
and fight for your country, as the men
are doing. You can't put on a nurses
uniform and go and nurse wounded
soldiers or drive an ambulance or work
in a munition factory, as man othe,
women are doing, but you can do your
bit by backing up these other men and
women, who are risking their lives to
defend you with your money.
Without guns and munitions, with
out food and clothes, without hospital
supplies, the army in France is just
so many sheep led to the slaughter if
we let them die for the lack of the
things that money buys, their blood
Is on our heads, and our crime against
them will be biacker thar the Boches,
because they trusted US.
1t takes money, money, money and
yet more money to carry on war, and
this war is to be the war of the long
est pocketbook. 1t is the last ton Of
bombs, the last load of shrapnel, and
the last big gun hat will thunder out
victory. Therefore, if we want to win
this war, we must find more money,
and it is particularly up to US women,
who car fight with our hands, to
fight with our dollars, and pour them
like water at Uncle Sans feet.
Women's Greatest Sacrifices.
In no war in all history have wom-
en- been called upon to play such a ire
mendous part as in this war. Never
before have had to give so
many of their husbands and sons and
brothers to be cannon fodder. Never
have women before gone into the
trenches and fought side by side with
e. Never have they gone into fac
tories to make munitions of war with
their own hands. Never nave they
had to take upon their shoulders the
heavy burdens of hard physical labor
that men laid down when they went
forth to battle. And never before did
their country call on women to make
such sacrifices as they are called ON
to make now.
1t is because this war touches wom-
en- more nearly in every way than any
other wal has ever done, because more
women's hearts have been broken by
it, more ome impoverished and
made homeless, more mothers have
seen their babes slain before their eyes,
more mothers have beheld their young
daughters ravished, that women must
use their utmost effort to put an end
to war.
Women must see to it that there is
never another war to lay waste to the
world and dreneh it with women's
tears, and this can only be accomplish.
ed by our winning this war.
And to do that we must have money
So, let every woman who has some
loved one at the front buy a Liberty
bond. Let every woman who has g
hearthstone that she would keep safe
an who has a babe that she loves, OF
q young daughter whose purity she
would guard, buy a Liberty bond.
Reasons Are Numerous.
Let every woman who has a particle
of sympathy in her soul for the for

/ and France buy a Liberty bond. LIE
every woman who believes in justice
and freedom, and right buy a Libert.
