azine something that every man v ho

It la entitled "The Shepherd and the

shepherd, stands In th background, a '
tonlshed at the sudden Insanity dis
played by his flock. -
Johnson's cartoons are good because
they are always true and always well
done. Tbia one Is particularly true and
exceptionally well done. In a glance
it tells a story that every Liberty Bond
holder onght to heed.
The American buyer of Liberty
Bonds who lets go ot bis bonds for
fake stock, or even for stock that Is
not take, is playing into th hands of
wolves. The wolf always gets the bel
ter ot the sheep, if he dldnt he
wouldn't hav anything to do with th
sheep.
Every man or woman who owns Lib
erty Bonds can pat It down In his pipe
or her powder-puff any time anybody
offers something for Liberty Bonds
that the Liberty Bonds are worth more
than th thing offered. Johnson shows
his human sheep wearing silly smiles

or to sell them for less than they ar
worth. Even if on la offered the mar
