The farm* of thia country could

We can «hip them with gun«.

We can whip them alth our money

which we can grow by mobilising our

people about us. and tblid, money
for Liberty Bonds
Thia la the crucial year of the war
Our soldiers are al the front, bun
4reds of thousands of them In tbe
trenches, and a million mere ready to
o. The whole burden of carrying on
iur own part In the war, and of aid
Ing our deter nations In arms, rests
on the United Htates Treasury
If the treasury tails or falters or
Bnda Itself unable to respond to every
call upon It. tbe war la lost
Do you
realise that*
Your son. and all the nation's eon«
are relying on the Vnltid Stataa
Treasury to furnish things with which
they may Bgbt
Their Ilves are lost If the treasury
fails. Our country la lost if tbe treas
ury falls.
Germany wins If the treasury falls
Therefore every cent you can rake
and scrape together belongs to th<
treasury, that our soldiers may come
back to us alive and victorious This
Is literally true. We can whip the
Germans with our money; hut not
with tbe money In our pockets or
bank accounts. It must go Into the
United mates Treasury In subscrip
