 Are we true Americans!

DISTRIBUTION IF
 BONDS VALUABLE
 IN FUTURE YEARS
LIBERTY SECURITIES NOW HELD BY 20 PER CENT. OF THE
 AMERICAN PEOPLE.
BoNDHoLDERs INCREASE
Government Will Become h. tensfled.

Ono of the most hopeful of all the factors in the business and industrial outlook of the United States is the wide distribution of Liberty Bonds among all classes of people. This makes for stability that will be very valuable in the coming years. It will alss exert . profound influence in the immediate problems of after-the-war resdjustment
 Just now when industrial and finan cial situations as affected by the change ef the country from a war to a peace basis are holding a very i'm portant place in the public mind, this factor Is being th0ughtfully regarded. One reason for the undoubtedly opti- mistic outlook Is the fact that Liberty Bonds are so widely distributed anon. all classes.
 The bondholder who owns Liberty issuss has in his possession. securities that represent the very best invest meat in the world. He knows this and hs knows that so long IS the Government stands his bonds will be worth exactly what they represent themselves to bs worth, principal Ind interest, down to the last cent.
 Stockholders Increased.
 A few years ago very small per centage of Americans were bondhold- ers, In fact. the bond-buytng element was represented by only few hun dred thousand people out of our 100.- 100000 citizens. It Is vastly different now. kt the close of the Fourth Loan It was found that about 20 Ser cent of the population of the United States wore holders of Liberty Bonds.
 Despite the sales made by the hold CTS who were unable to retain their bonds, 1t Is estimated that IS per cent of the population still retains it's bonds. and is planning to hold on to them as long as possible. These own. CTS represent the millions who arc interested in sound prosperity, in sound and safe government, and they are backing the nation in all its en- deavors to speedily bring the indus tries and general conditions back to the normal.
 Every one of these bond holders has a personal financial stake in the future of the American government. and gives an added personal interest in it's progress.
 To Buy All They Can.
 Knowing the securities to be the bsst in the world, millions of bond holders are planning to buy all they they are making their influence strongly felt, even in that class of Americans who were non-buyers in the Fourth, the Third. the Second and the First This is tending to fur thss distribute the bonds more thor 00o Americans
 The French have often been called the hriftiest people in the world. When they got together few francs they straightway put these into gov eYnment securities. The financial condition of the French government remained amazingly sound through four years of storm and strNss. and one of the greatest reasons for this soundness was the thrift 6 the aver age Frenchmen. and his wtilingnsss. at all times, to buy government bonds.
 Americans who are watching the sale Of the last of the great war loan issues of the United States will do well to take leaf from the French mans book
