The Third Liberty Loan is more I'M
pOrtant than the first and second. The
government needs your financial CO.
operation. You must do your 'bit'' by
subscribing for more bonds. Victory
demands sacrifice. To win without
paying would make q laughing stock
of the law of average.
Aside from the investment you are
assisting to promote world democracy.
Think of it! To make the world safe
from unjust ruling. Government bonds
are the last word in securities. Your
property and other investments will
be worthless, if we don't win this war.
But there's no such word as don't" in
the American patriotic dictionary.
Remember we are all Americans.
Let's get together. Invest in more
than your share of Liberty bonds. The
game of life resembles the famous
childhood game of 'Follow the
Leader" When you do your patriotic
duty, your neighbor will follow, and
so down the line. When our boys come
marching home with Old Glory way
ing proudly in the wind, you will be
thrilled with the thought that you have
done your ''bit.'
Let us all be stockholders in the
Bank Of Humanity. Come on!

president, international Harvester
Coz
Our country's call for funds, like It's
call to arms, admits Of no hating,
half-hearted response. The honor and
safety Of the republic require that the
Third Liberty Loan shall be promptly
subscribed.
This third draft upon our patriot
ism should be so met that it will be
most convincing answer to any who
have doubted our unalterable deter
animation to end this war only with
complete victory for the cause Of hui
man freedom. The greater our armies
and the greater the funds that sup
port them, the sooner will come the
victory.
Should anyone think Of this Liberty
Loan in terms Of investment, let him
consider that interest and repayment
are guaranteed by the largest re-
sources and soundest credit in the
world. But every subscriber should
reflect that his subscription Is more
than an investment-it is token of
faith and pride in our government, a
contribution to establish for all men
liberties like those that have made, our
country great and its people happy.
The same solemn obligation of de-
mocracy that summons our young men
to war now calls upon all of US who
cannot give our lives to give literally
of our means. It is the first and SIM
plest duty Of our patriotism to provide
our government with the money need
ed to win the war, and to provide 1t
quickly, fully and gladly.
