MAKE YOUR COUNTRY A PLEDGE.

Pledge your aid to your country, not
for one single act of patriotism or
sacrifice, but for continuous service
throughout the year and until the end
of the war. Don't think because you
have bought Liberty bond you have
done your full duty. Even II you put
every cent You have into that bond
you have not done your full duty. You
must pledge your future earnings,
your future savings, to the govern.
ment to help win the war.
The Liberty Loan campaign will
soon be over. No one doubts that the
bond issue will be oversubscribed.
But the government will need more
and more money all the time. II is
trying to raise 1t by means Of selling
Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
II wants to sell these stamps regu.
larry, every day and every week OF
the year. It wants the money TO
come in regularly and ceaselessly, so
there will be no unsettling of financial
conditions. 1t wants the money taken
from current earnings and not from
accumulated savings.
Therefore, it is asking you-eyery
man, every woman, and even every
child-to pledge yourself to save some.
thing every week and purchase these
stamps. The saving may be small, or
II may be large, according TO your
means, but it ought TO be regular
1t ought to represent a real sacrifice
1t ought 10 be a measure of your self,
denial for the good of your country
II the people OF America are not
willing to sacrifice, but are willing
70 lend only from their surplus, how
do they expect American arms to be
victorious? How will the war be
financed after the accumulated sur,
plus is used?

PATRIOTIC INVESTMENTS.

Law and order underlie all invest.
ments. If life and person are insecure
everything else Is in danger. That is
the reason why the French poet wrote
the lines:
There is only one Future-that of our
Country!
There IL only one Foresight-Our
Country.
There is only one Economy--Our
Country"
No matter how many farm mort
cages you may have: no matter how
many skyscrapers you may own no
matter how many fiat buildings you
may have for rent, or how many fac
tories you may be operating-every
investment you have rests on the SOW.
ereignty of the United States Of Amer
lea. The slightest danger that con-
fronts the United States acts as a de-
probation of every piece of property
you own. Your farm is valuable to
| you because the United States of
America has enacted laws which in.
| sure your right to the fee and title Of
your land. Anything that weakens
the authority of the United States
weakens your hold on your farm. Any
| thing that cheapens the United States
| OF America in the eyes Of nations
\ cheapens all the investments you
have. Anything that tends to bring
the nation into subsection to foreign
powers tends to bring your invest
ments to position of danger.
Every shrewd investOr-every wise
property owner-every sane working
man knows that the safety of all per-
sons and of all property in the United
States rests on the safety of the
United States as sovereign power.
II the United States Is lost every dol.
lar Of our invested capital Is de-
preciated or entirely wiped out.
We are engaged at the present time
IN desperate war. The issue is our
right to remain free and independ-
ent." II the military tyrant of Europe
beats us we must be his vassals and
his slaves. To whip him and retain
our liberty and to insure our independ-
ence, we must win complete victory
over Germany. If we fail our mort
cages and flats are worthless.
The moral is: INVEST IN LIB
ERTY BONDS and WIN the WAR!
