BUY BONDS NOW AND
ARGUE AFTER WAR ENDS
Continued from page y

1t is just a question of helping to
lick the Huns. And it is not thing
to be done just to help someone else.
The thing is right home to you, Mr..
.-nerican Citizen. You must do it |
to help yourself, to help your own
country, to help keep the home fires
burning.
We have cast in our lot with the
rest of the civilized world, in an eff
fort to overthrow the German saw
ages hat are now threatening to
enslave mankind.
1t is our fight, just as much as it
is that of any other nation, and we
are going to see it through to the
bitter end.
There is nothing else to do.
That is why you al asked to buy
Liberty Bonds.
That is why you are asked to lend
your money to Uncle Sam.
That is why you are expected to
do the very best you can when the
bond solicitors come to you.
And, by the way, speaking about
bond solicitors, these men are your
neighbors. They have no authority
over you or your property. 1t you
do not want to do your duty they
can not make you.
But do not forget one thing These
men represent the government and II
you refuse them you refuse the gov
ernment that sent them and they
have not only the right but it is their
duty to report you.
Treat the solicitors kindly, do not
waste their time. They have many
to see. They can not tell you when
the war is going to end and they will
not have time to GO into any argu-
ments about who started the trouble
in case you should be one of those
who will not believe the TRUTH namely
that the greed of the blood-thiis sty
beast, that rules over Germany did
the starting.
Hear the solicitors story as to what
a man in your circumstances should
do, and then come right out with your
proposition.
There is no time for arguments
now.
There will be plenty of time for
that later on.
Just now we are going over the
top and we are too busy to fool away
any time. We can sit down and argue
it all out when we get through with
Kaiser Bill. :,
It is a grand thing to have hand
in licking the worst enemy that has
ever threatened the freedom OF the
yorld.
You can have just such part by
buying Liberty Bonds.
EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED IN
A BOND is A FIGHTING DOLLAR.
Every dollar that you lend Uncle
4 Al. ;c la11 mt
to the highest and noblest use pos
sible-the service of God and man:
1t is your religious duty, as well
Liberty Bonds.
FOR IF THERE IS A JUST GOD
AS THERE CERTAINLY 1S-HE
WILL REQUIRE AN ACCOUNTING
OF THE DOLLARS THAT YOU
HAD AND REFUSED TO ALLOW
TO ENLIST IN THE CAUSE OF
HIS SUFFERING AND DYING
. CHILDREN.
This country considers that man a
traitor, who discourages, or tries to
prevent the enlistment of others. Is
! not the man who prevents the enlist
I ment of dollars under his control a
like traitor?
Surely, where there is just as much
need of dollars as there is of men, II
n, must be an act of supreme disloyal-
v to prevent their enlistment.
And, friend, listen to this, and then
think about it:
j You, who send your dollars to the
war are absolutely certain of getting
them back. In your case there IS nc
such thing as losing. No! You will
even get them back with big inter
est added.
Il But-and here is where you must
bow your head before the awfulness
/ WHILE You GET BACK YOUR
= DOLLARS WITH INTEREST ONLY
GOD ALMIGHTY KNOWS WHETH:
Err THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS
WHO ARE SENDING THEIR SONS
WILL EVER GET THEM BACK!
i This is not "THEIR WAR" this
is not the ADMINISTRATORS
n WAR,"-it is YOUR WAR, MY WAR
Until you get that viewpoint, yot
| haven't got the thing quite right
