The boys who go to are but one division of the Great Am Every man, woman and child has a par has been exempted. The boys who go to war are but one division of the Great America. Every man, woman and child has a part in battle for Liberty. Your part is to lend government money. Dollars are needed as men. As Good as Cash and Paying Interest Your country is not asking you to give your money when it offers you the Second Liberty Loan. It asks you merely to lend your savings on the safest security in the world and the United States will pay you liberal interest on your loan. In buying a Liberty Bond, you do not spend—you save, and you invest your savings at 4% interest in a loan which is certain to be repaid to you. You do not have to wait 25 years to get your money back. You can always sell United States Government bonds. They are easily the most salable security in the world. Because they are convertible into any U. S. bonds issued during the war bearing a higher rate of interest, they should thus be always salable during the war at very close to the price you now pay for them. On the coming of peace, many great bankers believe these bonds will sell at a much higher price than you now pay for them. A Liberty Bond is almost as good as cash and it pays you interest. It may yield a handsome profit. Over in Russia, the German propagandists are telling the dazed, blundering revolutionists that they cannot depend upon America—that the United States is not a democracy at all, but an autocracy of wealth—"an autocracy with ten billionaire czars," they say. America's capitalists are getting ready to make peace with Germany and leave Russia in the lurch, they tell the Russians; why not make a separate peace at once and have it over with? Wouldn't you like to tell the Russians that the German spies are lying to them?

The to go to France Great American Army. ld has a part in this great to lend your dollars are needed as well Savings You’re Going to Make in the Future Current savings are looked to by the United States Government as the desired source for Liberty Loan investments. By paying for Liberty Bonds on the monthly payment plans made possible by the banks of the country, the people of America will cultivate the habit of saving. They will be putting away stated amounts of their current incomes, and at the same time they will be alding the Government in its stand for world democracy. Ready money is not necessary for the purchase of Liberty Bonds. A. C. Kalins, vice president of the Bank of the Americas, stated that side of the question when he said: "I should like to impress upon the public that this issue has to be taken up by the United States out of the savings that they are going to make. The savings that they have made are all expressed in the things that we see around us; buildings, good roads, etc., and everything that we have to make life pleasant. But we have got to increase our output of everything and this is a period of inflation." "Things will go up in price as soon as the operation is consummated. As practically no money goes out of the United States, it has got to go somewhere. It goes back to the credit on the books of the people at an increased ratio, and every bank instead of having smaller deposits will have larger deposits. We may think this is a very large operation, but as compared with what has been done by older countries, it is not a marker yet. "Probably England has already done two or three times what we have done. This is not a great thing in comparison with France and England. "And there is also the question of what might happen if the thing were not a success. We do not want to be a subservient nation." Heads You Win — Tails You Can’t Lose The Second Liberty Loan consists of 3 billion dollars in bonds paying 4% interest per year, due in 25 years, and convertible into any bonds issued by the United States during the war which may bear a higher rate of interest. When you buy a $100 bond you receive a promise from the United States Government to repay you $100 at the end of 25 years with interest at the rate of $4 per year. The United States has never failed to pay its bonds when they became due. The credit of the United States is the highest of any country in the world. As these bonds are convertible into any U.S. bonds issued later during the war bearing a higher rate of interest, you are practically sure of being able to sell them at any time during the war at about what you paid for them. After the war, if within say 5 years United States credit should sell as before on approximately a 3% basis, you could then sell these 4% Liberty Bonds as high as $115 for $100 bond. Is there any more attractive investment in the world? Over in Germany the common people, who still do not know who started the war, are being told that the United States has entered it only because Wilson is a slave of munitions makers. Their war lords are telling them that LaFollette and Stone and Big Bill Haywood are the real representatives of the American people—not Wilson and Roosevelt and Taft. Wouldn’t you like to tell the German people that again they are being deceived? out of the United States, it has got to go somewhere. It goes back to the credit on the books of the people at an increased ratio, and every bank instead of having smaller deposits will have larger deposits. We may think this is a very large operation, but as compared with what has been done by older countries, it is not a marker yet. "Probably England has already done two or three times what we have done. This is not a great thing in comparison with France and England.

Bonds are Easy to pay for. There's a payment plan to Subscribe for Your City and Your Country Four million people oversubscribed the first Liberty Loan, applying for 3 billion dollars or one billion dollars more than was offered. If 8 million people or only 13% of our population, subscribe the same average amount apiece for the second Liberty Loan, the subscriptions will reach 6 billion dollars. According to the terms of the offering, 4½ billion dollars of subscriptions will then be accepted. No greater blow at military Germany can now be struck than such an over-subscription. It will accomplish as much toward ending the war on proper terms as a great military victory. In order to reach this figure, it is necessary to secure subscriptions from twice as many people as subscribed to the first Liberty Loan. It is also necessary for many subscribers to the first Liberty Loan to increase their subscriptions to this second Liberty Loan. Our country has a mark to reach in the subscriptions to this loan. Its minimum is 3 billion dollars. Our Federal Reserve District has a minimum to reach of 210 million dollars. For the pride of his city, for the honor of the Pacific Coast, for the safety of his country, every citizen must make his subscription as large as he can possibly stand. Over in Belgium they are saying they know they can depend upon the American people to relieve them from the heel of the oppressor, even as the Amrican Relief Organization relieved them from starvation. Wouldn't you like to send them word that they are right? Bond! Liberal Subscription Government. ing Banks: German American Bank Southern County Bank
