Page Two M y Liberty Bond and I. w I earned my Liberty bond by picking wild blackberries, rasp berries and prunes. No one had to tell me what to do with my money, for I decided from these points: I knew the government would be safe, if we kept buying Liber ty bonds and war saving stamps. My Liberty bond is good be cause of the signature of Mr. Houston Teehee, who is one of the officials in the treasury de partment of the United States. Liberty bonds cannot be count erfeited because of the exactness of the materials from which they are made, and from the care taken while handling and count ing them to make sure that none are lost. They are made in a mill among the Berkshire hills. Pure white linen rags and pure spring water are mixed into a pulp and left to dry. When almost dry they are sprinkled with red and blue silk threads. This makes our three national colors, red, white, and blue, the paper being a perfect white. The ink used for the printing of the bonds is care fully tested and kept so that any other ink used in printing could be easily detected. I have sold seven Liberty Bonds and hope 1 can sell many more. I have also earned fiftv-fivedollars worth of War Savings Stamps. We are sending enough food and supplies to the allies and our soldiers to keep a bridge of ships, fifteen minutes apart across the Atlantic ocean. Are we going to keep this up? Yes! If you buy another bond. Every man and woman in the United States should have a Lib erty Bond. Some can not have them, but those that can, should buy enough to make up for those who cannot. We are doing two big things when we buy a Liber ty Bond. The first is, we are helping the allies toward victory and the second is; we are en couraging a world wide thrift which is of much value to a nation. When they held the meeting for the Fourth Liberty Loan at our school house, three other girls and myself took all our spare time for three or four days and all our afternoon Saturday to practice patriotic songs. Some were to sing alone and others were to lead the audience. Our meeting was a great success and was attended by many who gave liberally. Some people can not afford to buy Liberty Bonds and pay for them all at once, but they are willing to pay some each month. So the government has let them pay five dollars down, ten dollars in November, ten dollars in De Thursday, April VA, 1919 » EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS cember, ten dollars in January and fifteen dollars in February. I bought my bond to help the government buy food and supplies for our soldiers and the allies. Every one must do his or her best and we must not stop but keep right on buying, so that we will influence others to buy. A person who will buy a bond one day and sell it the next just to cover up the slacker in him, is a piker patriot and should be taught some patriotism. Buy a bond and keep it. Give the other fellow a chance to buy one, thus you are helping sell two instead of one. Do you want the war to end in the fall of 1919? Just help them along then. They are doing their share! Are you doing yours? I am going to buy another bond, are you? Doris Finch. GARDEN TOOLS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION!
