.. The fighters back from the blood-soaked fields of
France are going to ask "who lives there?" when they pass '
a home without this certificate of citizenship in the window.
They are not going to have any patience with excuse
makers. Their only criterion is "you did" or "you didn't".
1 They have learned to value the "official" and this sign is a
Government certificate that you are an American who has
done his duty.
The VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN is a duty. It is more.
It is a question of national honor. The man who turns his
back on it is a brother to the man who deserts in battle.
It is a question of national honor because it is going
to pay the cost of vi&ory. We spent money like water to
win-spent so much in gigantic preparation that the Hun
saw the handwriting on the wall and quit, saving 500,000
American lives.
Right now we have enough munitions and material
to equip two entire field armies aggregating 2,400,000
men. That stuff was ordered before Germany quit. It
isn't paid for.
THE VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN WILL PAY FOR IT.
Subscribe if you are an American.
Subscribe if you believe in America.
Morrow County's quota of t lie FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN
is not yet known but whatever it is we must go through
with it.
Our boys are coming in almost every day from training
camp and battle field after having offered their young
manhood, their splendid bodies, their lives if need be for
the cause of democracy.
Do we appreciate the sacrifices they have made?
If we do we will not hesitate to prove it by subscribing for
our share of the VICTORY BONDS which will probably
be Uncle Sam's final call for money with which to pay our
boys' war expenses.
The government has already expended this money.
Our national honor demands that the debt be paid.
Morrow County has not failed in her duty to the National Government.
Will YOU allow her to fail NOW?
