One shutdown last June Raymond
Brown stopped his team at the end of
the corn rows. He swung HIS cult
yator around, lifted the shovels so the
ing surfaces and unhitched his team.
The next day he was on his way to
Camp Taylor and the next day he was
an khaki His younger brother was in
the field carrying on his work.
II was shutdown a few days later
when Raymond Browns father spoke
Of the war, war gifts and government
loans as he saw them There was
maybe dozen men in front of the
blacksmith shop as he talked.

him when he gets ever there. And
every dollar put in bonds is just that
much protection for him. 1t backs
him up and makes his fight easier
The man who goes deserves all we can
do for him and for the country that is

and better than the money we pay for
II when we buy bond. But you have
to feel this war come close to know
just why you ought to buy a bond"
There are more Raymond Browns in
the army now than there were last
June, and more fathers and kinfolks
are thinking about the lad who stepped
away from the home fires TO the hell
fires that never die down on the west
front.
There will be vim and a determi-

scriptions that will be greater than be-
fore. Then, too, the man who has no
relatives in the army, who is just a
plain God-fearing American citizen, is
feeling the thing a little harder. His
love of country may not be a thing
that he talks about very much, but he
feels it. He may not be able to drive
a bayonet through Hun, but he can
make his weight felt when 1t comes to
a war loan and he proposes to do it.
The man who thinks sees very clear
ly that when he puts his money into
Liberty Loan he is putting it into
something that will come back as sure
ly as his government lives. Only the
fool or the pro-German says that the
Liberty Loans are a poor investment.
The American knows that his govern
ment will 90 Just what it says it will.
He gives his money for a bond that
is solemn promise to pay his money
back at the end of certain number of
years. He knows that the interest will
be paid just as surely as anything can
be in the world. No |. w. w, no

is as good as American gold and Is

every man in America.
