A letter was received recent
ly by the officers of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank at Dallas
that made deep impression on
all who read it. We quote it
in full:
"Your circular, The Victory
of the Ages has just reached
me today, and l assure you !
endorse it with all my heart.
| am a widow of a soldier, also
a mother of one-and l have
but one son. He enlisted in the

of him. He was my al. / am

Der to buy even a $4,000 Lib

son was on the sea at that time
and could not send me any
money until he reached his des-
tinatiOn, but l have saved five

before the people? / believe
that will be April the 9Th.
Kindly advise me.
81 am with you for victory
or death. Oh, how / wish was
a boy just like mine, so l could
do more to help win the war"
On receipt of the letter Mrs.
LeBow was requested to write
again, and, in her own way, tell
just why everyone should buy
Liberty Bonds. Her reply to
this request is also quoted:
why should all people be
glad to subscribe to these Lib
erty Bonds?
Because it takes money as
we'll as men to win this war.
We have the men, let's have
the money. This is our part
the part for us who stay at
home in ease and comfort. It
is also the very least part that
we can take, to loan to Uncle
Sam our money, when he pays
us tack with interest. Our
sons have said so gladly,
Here am ], send me, Uncle
Sandstone are now this min
ute in the trenches facing shot
and shell, and shall we who
have no hardships to endure, be
less patriotic than they, who
give their lives if need be, for
our homes and country? Let
US give as cheerfully of our
money as they have of their
lives and hopes for the future.
For they are young men, they
have laid their all on their
country's altar. Let us not hes
itate to pledge our last dollar,
and more, if Uncle Sam calls
again. l do not think that the
American people will be found
wanting, and may the God who
rules over the destinies of ma
tons make us strong to lift
high the Star Spangled Banner.
and never let the old flag fall,
at home or abroad, and, like
Patrick Henry said, Give me
liberty or give me death Then,
and only then, will we win this
dreadful war;"
Is there one among us who
can not or will not catch the
spirit of this dear old Spartan
mother?
She responds in spirit and in
reality, to the call of country
and humanity. She gives her
all, husband, son, and carefully
boarded scanty savings, so that
the world may be made a safe
place to live in"
What a demonstration of ma.
triotism, sacrifice, and whole
hearted cooperation is present.
ed in the viewpoint of this
aged mother!
With the same spirit having
possession of all our hearts and
minds, it can easily be seen
why the Third Liberty Loan
will be subscribed with a rush.
and Uncle Sam will have the
benefit of our efforts toward
maintaining our nations share
of the worlds fight for a last
ING peace, a peace not dictated
