Speaking of patriotism and opr dr.,
to our country-and those are tb,.
things of which most of US are snas,.
ing these days-why NOT buy a Tbir,.
Liberty bond or two?
If ever thing was well named rh..
Liberty bond is. IT stands far Ip.-
erty-for liberty not only for our own
people but for all the peoples Of tbs
world-liberty from despotism. fror,
imperialism, from militarism. and
most Of all. liberty from Prussianisr
which, summed up, Is the other three
;sms rolled into one.
And, likewise, it is a bond-a hopd
OF faith, bond of honor. a bond of re.
liability, bond of security. backed
up by the government of the UDitee
States of America, its assets. its gooa
name, its credits, its power, and its
possessions of whatsoever nature.
Flag is Worth Defending.
This generation is just now engag-
ing upon the tasks of preserving ana
perpetuating what our forefather1
earned for us. If the heritage they
handed down to US was worth taking
it is worth keeping; if the flag they
fought under is worth living under il
is worth defending; if the government
they established is government thar
should endure, If its securities are
staple and stable, it is our duty to in
vest in these securities. to prove the
value Of our own citizenship to our
selves by the confidence and the truS.
we show in our own institutions. The
Liberty bond issue gives US that chance
without entailing the slightest risk
upon our part.
When we buy Liberty bonds we are
helping our country, helping as right
eOus a cause as ever sent a nation to
battle, and at the same time we are
safeguarding our savings and earning
decent rate of interest on our money.
We can't lose; we are bound to win.
Thieves may break in and moths may
corrupt, but a Liberty bond is as soii-
as Plymouth rock and as honest as the
Declaration of Independence. II it
goes down, our government goes down
with it, and then your money woIlln'r
do you any good anyway. If you had
kept it stored up it would be couds-

Backing Is the Best.
AS long as the Stars and Stripes
float the Liberty bond will be aloft too.
The Liberty bond is guaranteed by

we are on the subject, l might add that
