But, Mr.. Conscientious Director to
being Separated from Your Coin, If
you really want to help win the war;
buy more than one $50 bond. Their
power grows faster than their denom-
nations.
Three $50 bonds. fer instance, will
fully equip an infantry soldier for ser
! vice overseas Or it will feed him on
Uncle Sans rations for twelve
months. -Four of the little $5os-any
small office can contribute that many
will buy cavalry horse or mule
for the ammunition train, or to haul a
water cart of combat wagon.
Six of the baby" bonds will not on
ly equip soldier in full. but will
| feed him for year in France. Or
they will buy a motorcycle for 4 ma
chine gun company Eight $50 bonds
will buy an X-ray outfit. Ten of them,
the combined contribution Of ten stem
Cgraphers or clerks, will supply the
quota of bicycles for headquarters
company of an infantry regiment. Six
teen OF the little bonds would mean
four big strong mules to pull an ambu-
lance.
Bonds to the ~amount Of one thus
and dollars will send to the front an
X-ray outfit complete. or six cases
Of operating instruments for base
hospital, or furnish automatic pistols
| for the men in q rifle company or a mo-
tor power rolling kitchen, or eight ra-
| ton carts.
If the employees in some small shop
want to send to the front the fine big
horses that are required to draw a
gun Of the ammunition train, all they
have TO do is to get together and sub
scribe for twenty-four OF the S5Os.
They will do the work. Fifteen hun
dred dollars worth of bonds will pro-
vide a motor ambulance or five pas
scnger motor car for q machine gun
battalion. Forty Of the little contri-
butions-they are within the reach Of
every wage earner-will buy motor
truck or supply ration carts for
whole infantry regiment Of more than
5000 men, Or $4,000 worth will fur
nish rifles for field artillery battery
or supply horses for field signal bat
TALON. If eighty of the $50 bonds are
put together the result is big trac-
tor to haul supplies and guns. A hun
dred of these small bonds, $4,000 worth
will send to the front Liberty truck,
or seven Lewis guns or equip with
rifles whole company Of infantry
men.
Seven thousand dollars worth of
bonds mean new training aeroplane
and $4,000 worth-180 of the $50 bonds
put together-mean new observation
balloon to watch Fritz's movements
