goth, 1919, will run for. a period not
to exceed four years, bear interest at

The safest security in the world to-
day, and the income exceptionally
attractive. An opportunity of a life
. time to invest savings with no risk,
no worry and good returns.
Uncle Sam" is not going to use
this money to buy ships, airplanes,
guns nor shells but to vouchsafe
your integrity, to protect your honor
in fully meeting the obligations and
, thoroughly complying with the CON
tracts made when autoGacy had its
hand upon the throat of Democracy,
and to bring back home and de-
mobolize those noble boys who fought
humanity's battle and won "A
Glorious Victory"
How you would spurn the boy of
that great and victorious army who
skunk behind and failed to throw
his all, his very life into that last
charge, and with what pride he, his
children and grandchildren will re-
cite the part he played.
This is the last financial charge
The part that you have played in
winning this great war, while not as
hazardous, was as important as that
of the boy at the front. You have
acted well your part. You have met
every financial demand, and Ohio
county's financial banner stands we'll
at the front.
The bankers of the county have
guaranteed that this last charge shall
not fails but the department asks
that every patriot rally to the colors
and as many buyers participate in
the loan as in any of the others.
have great faith that this will be the
case. Ohio county has very few
slackers, she has few rich men, but
she has thousands of noble, red
blooded patriots, who will do their
duty under all circumstances.
No one is going to importune you
to buy these bonds, you will not be
visited by a solicitor, but all you will
have to do is to call upon, write or
phone one of the banks of the county
and they will furnish you what you
want. This is to be test of indi-
vidual patriotism. You will either
willingly help to finish the job or will
fully desert. 1t is up to you.
hope that you will see in this
plan of distributing these bonds,
only saving of expense, econ
omy of time and confidence in your
patriotism.
In conclusion allow me to publicly
thank the Bankers of the county. who
have so solidly stood by the nations
credit during the entire war. Every
vestage of personal. selfish interest
has been swept aside and the decks
kept fully cleared ready for any kind
of financial action asked by the de-
partment. Not an order has been
not an exemption asked.
The student of future history must
dof his hat to such unselfish, sacri-
flcing patriotism. To the scores of
men and women who have practically
their individual business
and given their whole time as con-
mittee in the sale of the various is
sues of Liberty Loan Bonds. J want
to extend the thanks of a grateful
heart, and say, yours has been
a great service. To the many
thousands who have shut their
eyes to any possibility OF financial
gain and bought these various is
sues of bonds at a sacrifice, be-
cFlso it was their dpty TO fiAance the
aaI, bend tn, hree of respect AM
r. erence, ans say hold on 10 them.
yDu have a grea: treasure, sorething |
If which you glll always be proud.
For the traitor and Stacker, ii such I
here has been, have no condemna-
ton. The lashing of his own
as he reads the names
Of those who have made the supreme |
looks into the sightless eyes, |
touches the empty sleeve, or hears

but good wishes and cheers and only |
