The United States is at War
As in any great business when abnormal
conditions bring extraordinary expenses
money must be raised to meet them.
When this Government installed its great,
new machinery to work out that proud dest
iny which shall "make the world safe for
democracy," when it began to raise its arm
ies and navies, to build and equip its fighting
ships and transports, it simultaneously had
to create means of raising the money to
meet these expenses and investments.
To do this quickly the United States Gov
ernment is issuing Liberty Bonds.
What is a bond? Take a dollar bill from
your pocket, read what it says "The United
States will pay One Dollar to bearer."
United States Government Liberty Bonds
read just that way, except that they state
the time after which the Government will
pay in gold their full face value.
So, United States Government Bonds are
practically like United States currencv, ex
cept that the Sicond Liberty Loan Bonds
pay 4 per cent interest.
WHAT LIBERTY BONDS ARE
They are the Government's promise to pay the face
value of the Lilicrty ISonds.'
They bear 4 er cent Interest payahle in I'nited States
gold coin November fifteenth and May fifteenth each
year for the life of the ISonds.
They can be purchased for as little as $50, $100,
$.00 and up.
Information will be given and subscriptions taken at
any bank, trust company, bond house, authorized Liberty
Bond station, or by Flying Squadron men. You need pay
only 2 per cent of the amount you subscribe when hand
ing in your subscription for instance, only $1 when you
subscribe for a $50 bond; or you may pay your subscrip
tion in full up to $1000.

There Should be
Liberty Bonds
in Every Home
"To own Bonds of the United Stales at
such a time as many s each of us can pos
sibly afford is a badge of honor. There
should be Liberty Bonds in every home.
"It is the duty of every man and of every
woman in this country, who can possibly af
ford to do so, to buy Liberty Bonds in order
that guns, ammunition, food and dollies
may be promptly and freely furnished to
our soldiers who go to the front.
. "The highest human service is (hat of the'
nan who offers his life to his country. The
need is for money; money from rich and
poor; money in large sums and small.
"There is every reason for buying these
Bonds. The patriotic reason is enough. But
in addition there is offered the best security
in the world, an investment backed by all
the credit of the Government and people of
the United States. We, ourselves, we the
people, are behind every promise our Gov
ernment makes, because in the last analysis
it is we who arc the Government. If the
security of the Government should fail it
would be because we, the people, were in
such a plight as no longer to be interested in
security.
"To the men and women of America, an
earnest appeal is made to lend their money
to the Government, and to DO IT NOW."
