SIXTY THOUSAND OF OUR
AMERICAN BOYS
lie among the poppies of Flanders' Fields in
France. To them onlv is the war over. Thpv
have paid the price in full. To countless other thous
ands of these boys returning home maimed and
broken the war will still go on; they will be paying the
price every day, during the remainder of their lives.
Can we who stayed at home carelessly and thought
lessly assume the "war is over" attitude until our bal
ance of account is paid until we have redeemed our
pledge to bear the final cost no matter what its amount ?
THE VICTO
is in liquidation of the debt for men and munitions we
amassed, and which brought about the end of the war
saving fdr every day it was shortened billions more in
money and thousands more in lives.
MEN and WOMEN of OREGON!
The imprint of fame upon the name of our fair state will turn to a stain of shame
if we do not meet the obligation this Victory Loan represents. You are face to
face with the real tesl: of citizenship true Americanism. Let this tesl find you
measuring up one hundred per cent loyal.

The Parent Bond of Them All
The government bond is the Parent bond of all bonds. Back of the gov
ernment bond are all the assets and all the resources that supply the value
of all other bonds, all other securities, all other investments.
The government bond is a prior lien on lands, homes, chattels and every
thing else, and the bonds to be issued under the name of the Victory Lib
erty Loan are the highest of the high in government bonds. They constitute
a contract of the United States government, entered into by unanimous vote
of congress, and therefore a contract and mortgage behind which stands the
possessions of One Hundred and Ten Million American people with their
entire resources developed and undeveloped; the intelligence, ambition and
ability of these One Hundred and Ten Million people mortgaged to pay the
The Victory Liberty Loan Bonds will bear an attractive rate of interest
and, together with all other desirable elements, when compared wth other
investments as to strength, collateral and return, have no equal.
This is one of 176 advertisements inserted simultan
eously in every newspaper in the State of Oregon on
behalf of the success of the Victory Liberty Loan for
we oclteve in tms cause ana are willing to contribute
