Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 April 1918 — Be a Fighter and Buy Bonds. [ARTICLE]

Be a Fighter and Buy Bonds.

It is time that we all realize the country is at war. The railroads found themselves relieved of the management of their properties over night. Prices have been set for food and steel and coal. The draft is in full operation. It is no longer a question of patriotism in supporting the government, it is an absolute necessity. If the soldiers refuse to fight, the war is lost. If we at home refuse to buy bonds, the war is lost because the government will be unable to finance the operation. The man who refuses to buy bonds in this great crisis is ;n a class with the soldier who refuses to fight.
