Buy Victory BondsYour Duty la Before You. This is no time to dl;u the issue, for you are ohlirated by your citizen ship to buy bonibi of the government in order that the financial debt of this war may bu met. The part of the man who stayed at home is cany. tTho soldier who offcicil hit all is the man who deserves the credit, nntl whether he (rot overseas or re mained in cantonment he is the out standing figure of the war. Jf he did not get overseas it was not his fault, if he did ko over he did excellent work. . The mere buying of security that returns a Kood interest anil i safe is not u heavy net of patriotism and no one should object lo economizing in 1 order to do that much. Tho fact that Union county s quota has been pledged by Mr. Kiddle anil the banks have become Bellini; accntr. for the bonds does not lesson anyulics' individual responsibility. This pli'de; hi!: was done to place Uniun county' at tnc top of the list, fin" we all know the bonds must be sold here and what was the use lauKmif behind' It was proper to pledge Union county ove; the top, for over the top she will. t;o. Hul to do this gracefully every citizen must remember his duty and instead of bcihjr drtiKKcd in by the neck to buy a bond' he must show his patriotism by stepping up to his banker and ask ing for tho security. (Jet ready to be the first at your bank when the bonds ko on sale.
