An Easy and Profitable Job For This Week.

The Indiana Council of Defense urges every Hoosier who can do so 'to invest immediately in a bond of tile Liberty Loan issue, You do not have to go through any long rigamarole or ceremony. Have a talk with your banker. He will tell you how to enter your subscription and he will explain wh the purchase of a bond is a good investment. * Do not hold off because you have no large sum to invest. Remember that when you buy a bond, you are performing a patriotic service and you are getting something that never can shrink in value. _ Indiana set an example to all the Union when enlistments were called for. The state made another fine showing on registration day. Now comes the third test of Indiana’s loyalty. ... Hundreds of loyal citizens, who had good reasons for not enlisting and who were too old to register, now have a chance to do their share. Don’t depend upon a few wealthy citizens or some man living around the corner to perform a duty which is squarely up to YOU. An interest-paying bond with Uncle Sam as securty—isn’t that gilt-edged enough to suit any one? The State Council of Defense is sending out this appeal because Indiana must subscribe not only a large total but must line up a host of subscribers. If the bonds had been issued m large denominations and turned over to banks and corporations, the government would have been criticised for failure to recognize the investor of small means. Ever since you can remember, you have longed to be a bond-holder. Now is your chance. Every shrewd business man in America is subscribing to the Liberty Loan. Later on you will be asked to make sacrifices. , ... Now you are given a privilege—the privilege of getting in on a profitable investment. . _ Take advantage of it. “2
