What’s the meaning of your
Liberty Bond Button compared with
that of the old lady in this picture
who—not content with giving her
son—has given her all to the cause?
What’s the meaning of your button
compared with that of the artisan,
the clerk, the mechanic, the “carry-
my-lunch-to-work” man you see on
the street?

Americans all—are you doing as
much as you should? Think of the
terror that will reign in our land if
we do not see this thing through
with all our strength of heart and
ipurse!
Perhaps you feci thatyozr have done your full
'duty. Y ou say that you bought your share of
First and Second Liberty Loan Bonds.
Fine!
But remember—these two Liberty Ixians have
been exhausted.
Uncle Sam needs money to
“carry on”—to finish the job he’s set out to do.
And—he needs the money NOW!
The Third Liberty Ix>an is a summons to
duty—a call for “silver minute men"—a cry for
volunteer dollars — an appeal to the loyalty of
America.

HIS is only one of a hundred similar reports made
by canvassers for Liberty Loan subscriptions. Think
of the splendid loyalty of this courageous woman and
compare it with your own. Is not her patriotism finer
than your own. Is not her sense of honor and duty
and fairness nobler than yours?

Someone has said that this war was a case of
i
fight or four-Hush. How do you stand? H ow
about your Liberty Bond Button? Can you stand
before your fellow-men and say; “I, too, am help­
ing. I have not been chosen to rush up to the
mouths of cannon, but I have come to the front
with my money. 1 wore the first button and the
second, and now I’m wearing the third—<///</ /’//

Yes—it's only a bit o’celluloid—BUT WHATj
(DOES IT^MEAN TO YOU?

Upward from $50 to suit the con-
