/ PERSONAL MESSAGE
FROM Mr., KADOO.

On January alst Mr.. McAdpo
Issued q personal message to all
holders 81 Liberty Bonds, In
which the following very wise
and timely remarks occur. They
ohould be read by every Bond
Holder:
1T has been brought 10 my
attention that 9 large number
Of patriotic citizens who sub
scribed to Liberty Loan Bonds
Of both the first and second Is.
sue are being approached from
time to time by Agents who
have, with too frequent suo-
cess, induced them to sell their
Liberty Loan Bonds and take
In exchange securities which in
q number of cases have been
Of q very questionable value.
II therefore warn investors
In Liberty Loan Bonds against
exchange of these evidences Of
their patriotism for any secur-
tiles or so-called securities.
While some Of the securities, or
so-called securities, offered in
exchange for Government Bonds
are Of sound value, there is no
doubt that a large percentage
Of them are worthless.
II believe it is for the best
, interests Of the people at large
as well as for their actual pro
lection, that they disregard al
p such offers and hold fast to The
r best investment in the world
that is, Bonds of their owl
o Government.
1T is my earnest hope tina
e every purchaser Of a Libert!
S Bond will realize that the onl!
y genuine help he gives his Gov
!. eminent is by keeping his Bon,
e as an investment as long as it !
e possible for him to do so. Wher
J. because Of misfortune or imper
J. alive necessity, the holder Of
y Liberty Bond is forced to sci
N there can, Of course, be no OF
10 lection"

SHALL WE SEE IT
THROUGH OR QUIT2

The Government is finding it
necessary to call upon us three
times within a year to provide
by subscriptions to Liberty
Loans, sums of money hitherto
considered of fabulous proper
tons. These facts should inn
press upon us as no mere words
could do, the intense serious
ness, the stern necessities, of
the situation.
Continued acquaintance with
the more serious aspects of life
is apt to breed indifference, and
to dlstort our mental vision. As
the soldier shudderS with hor-
ror at his arst sight of carnage,
but later becomes hardened, so
are we apt to become compla-
cent under conditions which
call actually for increasingly
strenuous effort.
The Liberty Loan with it's
original accomplishments Of nov
city and noise appealed to our
national love of a new sensa-
ton. In the Third Campaign
much Of the novelty will be
lacking, but the serious purpose
behind the campaign will have
grown. Our money was need.

have grown, the necessity Of

grown. No longer can we hop,
that the entrance Of this COun

Our. Exclusive Process Gives
TroCo It's Real Butter Flavor
COMPARE TrocO zcith the
Best Creamery Butter

The test Of Troco is on the
table, in comparison with the
best creamery butter. This IS
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal,
either in results or from the
standpoint of economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel us to label
it as an oleomargarine. This IS
extremely misleading.
Troco is a quality product
used in homes where only the
best is tolerated. Here flavor,
quality and the assurance Of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.

Solves the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. 1t tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestible as butter, with the
same high nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter SO
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for smut
butter" or nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
flavor.
Ask for Troco and get the real
butter favor.
