the government has made to them. Through the five Liberty Loans they have served with devotion. with zeal. and with self-sacrific- ing patriotism. They have bought bonds to the limit of their pur- chasing power, and sold bonds to the limit of human powers of en- durance. or persuasion, and of steadfastness in purpose, Even with the armistice signed they have never ceased in their answering devotion to duty, In this Victory Liberty loan they have been pillars of power and towers of strength in the selling organization. Un- daunted by obstacles and discour- agements, they have held their posts. At this crisis of the loan the government of the United states again sounds the bugle of further advance. In keen realiza- tion of what women have already done in this and other campaigns, the treasury calls to them in these closing days of the loan for ser- vice in a final rush upon the field that will take the~ loan over the last trench"
