|ANKs TAKE OVER
| ENTIRE QUOTA
But Citizens May Buy Bonds
From Banks and
Save Time.

The Bankers of the county get
Iogether and subscribe for the
sounty's entire quota of "Victory
Loan United States Government
Notes" This is a small and very
attractive loan especially to the
bmall investor Ohio County's quota
Is only $164.2O0 an overscription
will not be accepted by the depart
hent.
1t is to be issued in the form of
hotes and not bonds.
They will be issued in Denomina-
lions of $50 or multiples thereof to
suit the purchaser will run for a
period not to exceed four years,
lbear interest at the rate of "a
Iper cent 'anneum, payable Semian-
nually, and may be either coupon
Tor registered.
The safest security in the world
to-day, and the income exceptional
ly 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, airdunes,
Guns nor shells, but to vouchsafe
your integrity, to protect your hon
or in fully meeting the obligations
and .thourghly complying with the
contracts made when autocracy had
its. hand upon the throat of Demo-
cracy, and to bring back home and
demobolize 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
J 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
recite 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
i and Ohio County's financial banner
stands well at the front.
The bankers of the county have
guaranteed that this last charge
shall not fail, but the department
asks that every patriot rally to the
colors and as many buyers partici-
pate 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 no
BILE red biooded patriots who will
do tier DUTY under all circum-
s:artos
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
a test of individual patriotism. You
will either willingly help to finish
the Job or willingly desert. 1t is
ND to you. / hope that you will
see in this plan of distributing
these bonds only saving of ex-
pense, economy of time, and conf
dence in your patriotism.
In conclusion allow me to public
ly thank the Bankers of the coun-
ty ty who have so solidly stood by
the nations credit during this entire
war. Every yestige of personal
selfish interest has been swept aside
and the decks kept fully cleared
ready for any kind Of financial ac-
tion asked by the department, Not
an order has been questioned, not
an exemption asked. The student
of future history must doff his hat
TO such unselfish, sacrificing patrio-
tism. To the scores of men and
women who have practically sus-
pended their individual business
and given their whole time as COM
mittee in the sale of the various
issues of Liberty Loan Bonds, l
want to extend the thanks of a
greatful heart and say yours has
been a great service. To the many
tn >ends who have shut their eyes
10 any possibility of financial gain
and bought these various issues of
bonds at a sacrifice because it was
their duty to finance the war
bend, the knee If respect and rever-
ence and say, hold on to them you
have a great treasure, something of
which you will always be proud.
For the traitor and Stacker. II
