SAVE NOW FOR OLD AGE

Where Will You Stand at Blxty-flv% What You Do Now Provide* for tho Future. Do you want to be dependent on friends, relatives or charity when yon are sixty-five years old? If not, get ready to buy Victory Liberty bonds to the utmost of your present ability, and lay them away against old age. This advice Is founded upon the researches of the statisticians employed by the life Insurance companies. They have devoted much study to the problem of dependency, and they know. They have found that of one hundred healthy average young men who start out in life at the age of twenty-five years: Thirty-six will be dead before they reach the age of sixty-five, most of them leaving families unprovided for. Of the remaining sixty-four men, at the age of sixty-five years: One will be rich. Four will be fairly well-to-do. Five will be supporting themselves by working. FIFTY-FOUR will be dependent upon friends, relatives or charity. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE NUMBERED AMONG THE FIFTYFOUR, FORM THE HABIT OF SAV- ! ING AND THRIFT. THE BEST AND SAFEST INVESTMENT FOR YOUR SAVINGS IS IN UNITED STATES : GOVERNMENT BONDS. HELP “FINISH THE JOB.” Get Behind the Victory Liberty Loan. “Peace must be financed as well as war, and the Initial stages of peace may be found ever more expensive than war. Therefore, get behind the Victory Liberty Loan when It comes.” —Secretary Glass. HELP “FINISH THE JOB."

THE MISER AND THE WOMAN.

A miser, born in a land afar, Who’d gained a fortune over here. Where Liberty is the guiding star, Looked up from his gold with a bitter leer. “I got it by pinching and going without; They call me greedy; I am,” said he. “The Nation’s call to lend I flout. For bonds theyll get no gold from me.” A woman gazed on a star of gold. She’d given all she had to give, And sacrificed to lend, ’twas told. That Liberty and Land might live. “And I’ll lend again and again,” she said, “To help to remedy war’s ills, And to keep true faith with our hero dead By helping pay our wartime bills.”
