Lovers of Home and Country
 Called to the CoIorS.
ALL CAN BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Wives, Sisters, Mothers, Sweethearts Never Before Called Upon to Play Such a Vastly Important Part
 Lend Your Money.
(By DOROTHY Dlx.)


 Buy a Liberty bond, ladies. No mat ter how many you have bought before, stretch point and buy another.
 You can't shoulder gun and go off and fight for your ountry, as the men are doing. You can't put on n nurses uniform and go and nurse wounded soldiers or drive an ambulance or work in munition factory, as many other women are doing, but you can do your bit by backing up these other men and women, who are risking their lives to defend you with your money.
 Without guns and munitions, with out food and clothes, without hospital supplies, the army in France is just so many sheep led to the slaughter; if we let them die for the lack of the things that money buys. their blood Is on our heads, and OUT crime against them will be blacker than the Boches because they trusted us.
 It takes money, money, money and yet more money to carry on war, and this war is to be the war of the long est pocketbook. It Is the last ton of bombs the last load of shrapnel, and the last big gun that will thunder out victory. Therefore if we want to win this war, we must find more money and it is particularly up to us women, who can fight with our hands, to fight with our dollars, and pour them like water at Uncle Sam's feet.
 
 In no war in all history have wom- en been called upon to play such a tre- mendous part as in this war. Never before have women had to give so many of their husbands and sons and brothers to be cannon fodder. Never have women before gone into the trenches and fought side by side with men. Never have they gone into fac tories to make munitions of war with their own hands. Never have they had to take upon their shoulders the heavy burdens of hard physical labor that men laid down when they went forth to battle. And never before did their country call on women to make such sacrifices as they are called on to make now.
 It is because this war touches wom- CD more nearly in every way than any other war has ever done, because more women's hearts have been broken by 1t, more women impoverished and made homeless, more mothers have seen their babes slain before their eyes hAhnl1 daughters ravished, that women must use their utmost effort to put an end to war.
 Women must see to 1t that there is never another war to lay waste to the world and drench it with women's S tears, and this can only be accomplish ed by our winning this war
 And to do that We must have money. So, let every woman who has some loved one at the front buy Liberty bond. Let every woman who has q hearthstone that she would keep safe buy Liberty bond. Let every wom- an who has a babe that she loves, or young daughter whose purity she would guard, buy Liberty bond.
 Reasons Arc Numerous.
 Let every woman who has particle of sympathy in her soul for tae for lorn women and children of Belgium and France buy a Liberty bond. Let every woman who believes in justice. and freedom. and right buy Liberty bond. Let every woman who hates war and crayes for peace buy Lib erty bond.
 The trip that you had planned, the new frock you were going to get. how pitifully small Is the sacrifice Of these for the sake of those who are sacri- ficing their lives to protect you and yours.
 Buy all the Liberty bonds you can, and then go In debt for some more, so shall you prove yourself worthy daughter of Uncle Sam.
 This is a time when money talks and tells the kind of patriot you are.
 The woman who hasn't bunch of Liberty bonds If she's rich, or who isn't paying on q Liberty bond if she's poor, is traitor to her country and should hang her head in shame every time she passes a man in khaki or feels the fold of the red, white. and blue floating over her unworthy head.
