RISKING THI FOR YOU Cee 2 1 . 7 This is your war. Its result will determine (he future welfare of yourself, your children and your children’s children. The stalwart sons of America now at the front are fighting your battles for you. They are determined on VICTORY; the sort of victory that you want; a victory that means LIBERTY. They are fighting for you with = _ cold steel. The least you can do for them is to fight for them with cold cash. <j A LIBERTY BOND WILL KEEP YOUR’ MONEY IN AMERICA AND SEND pox veverr voxels! | Prolong the Sound of our Liberty Bell BATES COUNTY. LET YOUR HEART TO THE FRONT. _ BUY A BOND FICER. ‘ The money you loan to your Government today will furnish food and munitions for the boys in Uncle Sam’s army who will be in battle tomorrow. We must get : behind these men who are giving their lives for Democracy, Humanity and Permanent Peace, with our money. : COLD CASH & COLD STEEL MUST “GO OVER THE TOP” TOGETHER In a meeting of the Bankers of Bates County, held in Butler, Wednesday, March 20th, it was unanimously decided that the banks would offer their assistance to the Government as well as to the citizens of Bates County in assisting in raising Bates County’s quota of $300,000.00 for the Third Liberty Loan Bond sale, And in order that every citizen who does not have available funds of his own, might be permitted to purchase a bond, the banks have unanimously agreed that for anyone who desires the accom- modation, upon payment of 10 per cent of any citizen’s purchase of Liberty Bonds, the bank will furnish the other 90 per cent at 6 per cent per annum for the coming year, pay- -’ able any time during the year, or in installments. This should give every citizen an opportunity to purchase one or more bonds, and for every citizen to either fight with his money or with his credit. : h If you wish to purchase a Liberty Bond, see any of the solicitors in your township or any of the banks. Go to the bank at which you are doing your business. They will secure your bonds, either for cash or credit, as you may desire. Loan your name to the Government. Buy Bonds.
