to our country-and those are the
things Of which most OF US are speak.
ing these days-why not buy Third
Liberty bond or two?
II ever thing was well named the
Liberty bond Is. 1t stands for lib
erty-for liberty not only for our own
people but for all the peoples of the
world-liberty from despotism. from
Imperialism, from militarism, and.
most Of all. liberty from Prussianism.

isms rolled into one.
And, likewise. it is a bond-e bond
of faith, bond of honor. n bond Of re-.
liability, a bond OF security. backed
up by the government Of the United
States of America, Its assets, its good
name, Its credits, its power. and Its
possessions Of whatsoever nature.
Flag 10 Worth Defending.
This generation Is Just now engag-
ing upon the tasks of preserving and
perpetuating what our forefathers
earned for us. II the heritage they
handed down to US was worth tnking,
it Is worth keeping; II the flag they
fought under is worth living under. 1t
is worth defending; II the government
they established Is a government that
should endure, II Its securities are
staple and stable, 1t Is our duty to In
vest in these securities, to prove the
value of our own citizenship to our
selves by the confidence and the trust
we show In our own institutions. The
Liberty bond issue gives US that chance
without entailing the slightest risk
upon our part.
When we buy Liberty bonds we are
helping our country. helping as right
eous u cause as ever sent nation to
battle, and at the same time we are
safeguarding our savings and earning
a decent rate Of interest on our money.
We can't lose; we are bound to win.
Thieves may break in and moths may
corrupt, but Liberty bond Is as solid
as Plymouth rock and as honest as the
Declaration Of Independence. II 1t
goes down, our government goes down
with 1t, and then your money wouldn't
do you any good anyway. II you had

Backing 10 the Best.
As long as the Stars and Stripes
float the Liberty bond will be aloft too.
The Liberty bond Is guaranteed by
every inch Of our soil, by every shred
Of our traditions. its promise to pay Is
predicated on every ship that files our
flag. on every pennyweight Of railroad
iron in our land, on every peppercorn
in our granaries, on every dollar of
our circulation, on every rod Of navi-
gable river, on every furlong Of high.

American harbor, on every pebble In
the Rocky mountains, on every blade
