ARE YOU A SLACKER?

IS THERE ANY EXCUSE WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY A LIBERTY BOND? ' Uncle Sam has undertaken a big, hard job. It will take billions of doll lars to finance this job. Would you 1 rather make an investment now abJ solutely good and paying a good interest? Or would you rather hold back and later pay a larger amount out in revenue and taxes for which there can be no return? Do you want to please the Kaiser and prolong the war by making it impossible for the Liberty Loan not to be fully subscribed. Failure to rally to the call of the government at this time is as dangerous as for the soldiers to refuse to charge when commanded. Over subscription means sorrow to the Kaiser. Under subscription means joy to the greatest enemy humanity has ever known. Immediate and heroic action by all just now will not only win the war but will hasten the end of the bloodiest conflict ever waged upon this earth. If you had a son in the trenches would you be interested in the Liberty Loan? You may buy a Liberty Bond or not now. Later every dollar you possess may be demanded of you. The wealthy men of this community should invest thousands. Every man, woman and child can meet the demand now by buying a bond on the installment plan and paying for it by a small weekly payment. Are you a patriot? BUY A BOND. Go to your bank and buy today. You are not giving. You are investing. Buy a Liberty Bond. This deed is full of wisdom and patriotism. Retain your liberty by buying a Liberty Bond. See Chas. Pefley for trees, vines and shrulbs of all kinds. Guarantee stock to grow or replace free of charge. For fall delivery.
