HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
If Absolutely Necessary to Dispose Of
Them, Consult Your Banker.

To successfully finance the war it
IS necessary that owners of Liberty
Bonds hold their bonds if possible.
Where for any good reason it is nee
essaTy for them to turn their bonds
into cash they should seek the advice
of their bankers.
Liberty Loan bonds are very desir-
able Investments, and crafty individ-
uals are using various means to Sc
cure them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters.
One method is to offer to exchange
for Liberty Bonds stocks or bonds
of doubtful organizations represented
as returning a much higher income
than the Bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used, some of
the gold-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
of the law. All offers for Liberty
Bonds, except for money and at mar
ket value, should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest Of
investpents and have nontaxable and
other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty Loan bonds,
# possible, Is patriotic. To consult
your bankers before selling them is
wise.

LabOr's Pledge
On Labor Day.

The following pledge of Amerl-

Of this country stand II the world
struggle for freedom:
uOn this Labor Day, the day
America gives formal pause to her
endeavors to pay homage to her
sons of toll, through whose creative
energy the great machinery of her
industries Is involved and guided,
we, the working people of America a
make this declaration to our native
land:-
We are engaged in great war for
the preservation of our democratic
institution and for all the oppor-
tunities that lie only in democracy.
In this great struggle we know no
cause but our nations, we know no
allegiance but to America.
We value above everything the
liberty for which America stands and
we declare that no sacrifice is too
great for the safe guarding of that
liberty.
We pay high tribune to the vail
ant American army in France, and
it is our pride that thousands In that
army have come from cur own
ranks.
We IN the workplaces Of America
constitute the Industrial army OF
our land, and we know full we'll, the
Importance Of this service. We know
full well, also, the honor and dignity
and responsibility of this service.
We declare it to be our inhexible
purpose to so order our conduct
that our service may be of the high
est value-to cur nation at war, and
we hold it to be a fixed principle
that conduct which cannot be iusti-
fed to our brother on the firing line
is intolerable and cannot be con-
doned.
We set above life itself the cause
for which America entered this war.
and we proclaim our condemnation
Of all men and agencies which set
themselves IN the way of our course
of victory.
We declare that the cause of
America is the cause of humanity
everywhere, and that he who OBJ
structs the defense of this cause by

We the working people of America
