How many men in America have
never been asked to buy Il Liberty
Bond? PROFESSIONALLY there are
many Of them In spite of the great
campaigns that were supposed TO
reach every human being in the United
States in the four preceding Liberty
Loans, it has been shown that q lot
Of people We're never solicited by
bond committee.
So every man who has failed to
buy Liberty Bonds is not deliberate
Stacker. Apparently great many OF
them were never given a real chance.
1t is matter OF record that very few
people who can afford to buy bonds
have ever refused when they were ap-
preached and asked 10 do so.
And we all know that with the Fifty
Dollar Bond to be had that the peo-
pie In America who could not. actually
could not, afford to buy bond are
very few indeed
But here and there, in a congested
city block. in a remote township, in
some other byway OF the country,
been lost in the shuttle OF the bond
drives
In some OF the counties OF the
United States, and there are a good
many hundreds of these counties, no
house-to-h house canvass was made at
any time. And lot of men who might
have been bond-buyers never had
chance to get bond
House-to-House Canvass.
A hOuse.tO-hOuse canvass is the best
way. 1t is the only sure way to bring
out the full bond-buying strength of
a community. Here and there a man
will be missed otherwise. And this
Is no time to miss anybody We are
finishing up a war and the money
is badly needed.
Where the house-to-house method
has not been used 1t will be surprising
to find how many people have been
missed. But they are not going to be
missed this time. In this last loan,
the fifth and Victory Liberty Loan,
all the missing ones heretofore will be-
gwen the closest attention.
Furthermore, the deliberate slackers
and bond dodgers are going to be
known to man. 1t is to be clean up
this time all over the country. The
idea Is to make the Victory Liberty
Loan as impartial as death. 1t is to
miss no man.
Yes, the great bond Stacker round
up Is on. The time has come for a
showdown on the man who refuses
to stand by Uncle Sam when Uncle
Sam needs him. And you can leave 1t
to the genuine Americans, the real
patriots. to say whether or not MIR. A.
Bond Stacker is going to have real
pleasant time Of It.
And his punishment will last
through the years. and the years to
come after.
In his neighborhood he will be
marked individual. His refusal, his
failure, his stacking will be carried in
the memories of his neighbors. For
the memory of this war is going to
last long, long time. And the slack 1
er's neighbors are going to be clipping
and cashing Liberty Bond coupons for
a great many years. Every time the
word Liberty Bond is mentioned, ev.
cry time a coupon is clipped, memories
will stir and it will recall that so.an-so
thought more Of his own affairs than
he did of those Of his country. That
HE did not buy bonds.
Public Opinion Active.
Now, just in case you are in that
crowd, or anyone you know is in that
crowd.-well, the part of wisdom will
be to climb out of it while there is
still an opportunity. That opportunity
is passing now. II you belong there
you will not enjoy your company. You
don't enjoy it now and you will en-
joy it far less in the future
It is the plain truth that public
opinion is going to deal rather rough
ly with the man who got away from
the draft from all sorts of service and
contributions and who at the final
test refused to do his duty. 1t will
be bad business to try and dodge this
last issue.
This last Victory Loan proposes to
clean up the loose ends. There is not
much use in trying to run away from
it. The man who goes over into the
next state to visit his wife's people
while the drive is on will gain very
little by it.
There will be mighty few lost in the
shuttle this time. 1t is not worth while
to try to dodge the issue. 1t isn't
American to try to do it anyway, it
is not honorable or patriotic
1t will be far better to face the &C.
casion as other Americans have been
facing their DUTY. to dig deep ana
make your bond purchases worth talk I
ing about. 1t is better late than never.
