This speech on Liberty Loan bonds was delivered at the LuUierau church meeting at Warren, Sunday evening, Octr jer 12, by Miss Tyra Rylcndcr. : Miss Rylander is 11 years of age nad : the speech is entirely her own effort and thought. American Citizens: We are again called upon in this great hour of need to serve our country ,vnd we can do this by buying Liberty Bends. Liberty Bonds mean more fighters, more guns, more ships, more am munition and a better equipment for our soldiers overseas. It means a speedier victory and a world free for democracy. The government calls upon every loyal American citizen to buy bonda and to loan our money on safe in vestment to help win this war. The soldiers and sailors are doing thel. bit. What are you doing? The United States Liberty Bonds t are the safest and best investment in the world. If you buy a Liberty Bond you will receive four and one fourth per cent Interest per year and they are redeemable in gold or silver at the end of twenty years. The Liberty Bonds are Issued in do- nominations of fifty dollars and up, co there is a size suitable for every one. They may be secured at any bank or poBtoffice. Now it is our duty to buy them ana urge all others to buy them, and let us heed our nations call for money to back up our soldiers "over there." A bloody tyrant has lifted the iron hand of war. He Is trying to tea. the torch from Liberty's hand, but let us hold Liberty's torch still high er than ever before by our aid. What has your country done foi you? Has it not fed, clothed ano sheltered you under Liberty's rays, and should we not now just loan our money to our government to help win this war. America gave you all, you have to loan it; she needs it now. Should we not buy bonds Just a. willingly as our soldiers and sailors sacrifice their lives for their coun try in order to preserve democracy. When the soldiers are over there the) are always wondering about home, wondering if we appreciate their sac rifices, wondering if the nation is go ing to back them up, whether thu Liberty Loan will go over the top, whether the people make real sacri fices too, and keep sending across the ocean that continuing stream of met. munitions and other supplies whtch must flow in unbroken current if w, are to win this war. America is proud of her soldiers and sailors ant. their unselfish sacrifice for Liberty, but let America be just as proud. 01 her bond buyers as her fighters. As we are now In war we must save and conserve such as to help wlu the fight, so let us save and produce all possible-to aid In this great strug gle for democracy. Every dollar you loan Uncle Sam will be returned with Interest. Buying Liberty Bonds is t privilege every American should take! advantage of for it not only helps our government, but also ourselves. We no longer say we must win this war or we will win, but we aay wt are winning, for there are four mil lion , men ready to help drive the Kaiser to Berlin. We will die but Liberty shall never die!
