STHHEY say, who have come bade from Over There, that at night

the troubled earth between the lines is carpeted with pain. They say that Death rides whistling in every wind, and

that the very mists are charged with awful torment. They say that of all things spent and squandered there, young human life is held least dear. It is not the pleasanfesf prospect for those of us who yet can feel upon our lips the pressure of our mothers' good-fry kiss. But, please God, our love of life is not so prized as love of right. In this renaissance of our country's valor, we who will edge the wedge of her assault make calm acceptance of its hazards. For us the steel-swept trench, the stiffening cold weariness, hardship, worse. For you for whom we go, you millions safe at home---whaf for you? We shall need food. We shall need care. We shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without failure supplies and equipment in a stream that is constant and never-ending. From you who are our resource and reliance, who are the heart and hope of that humanity for which we smite and strive, must come these things. Buy your country's bonds. Buy them, today! The United States Government Bonds of the Second Liberty Loan of 1917 are investments made safe for the people. They are in the highest possible sense a security off the people, by the people, for the people. They can be had in denominations so low and on such terms that virtually every citizen of this nation may share in the benefits they bring and the purposes they serve. They are today the safest investment in the world. Buy your country's bonds.

them as the mainspring of our holy endeavor. As your

uty to the cradle and your fealty to the tomb. Buy them, today!

This advertisement was paid for by the following Public Utilities so that every Richmond man and woman may realize the importance of buying Liberty Bonds at once.
