SAYS ALL SHOULD
BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Lack Of Ready Cash No Reason,

Third Liberty Loan in Honolulu,

who cannot get the $50 between now
and August 3 without taking some Of
their savings deposit to draw from
those deposits the balance necessary TO
pay for the bond. If it can be bought

better.

every man, woman and, where possible.

scribe for at least a $50 bond during
