" Every dollar that goes into the Third Liberty Loan should be sub- scribed with the fom re- solve that it is there to stay as long as the coun- try needs it. Our men are in the front line, with the causualty lists mounting daily. They cannot turn back until their work is done. Our dollars must not turn back. Our ships are setting out along the hazardous 3000-mile line of com- munications. In spite of all attacks, they must go on to the end of the voyage. Our dollars must go on to the end. It is easy to subscribe to a Liberty Bond. But as Secretary McAdoo has pointed out, sub- scribing does not help, unless we actutlly mean to pay for the bond, and to keep it. To hold it for only a few months and then sell it or turn it back to the bank, or use it to pay the grocer or tailor, is like enlisting in the army for 3 months and then going home when the guns begin to roar. & EVERY subscriber should take all the bonds that he can pay for in cash and with the sav- ings of the near future. If this does not come up to his share he should of course borrow frem his bank in order to take more. But whatever amount he borrows, it should be with the posi- tive intention of paying it off out of additional savings or increased earnings. There should be no home which does not buy its Liberty Bond, and every bond should be bought for the dura- tion of the war. Subscriptions will be received under the gov- ernment plan which is 5 per cent. on the date of subscription, 20 per cent. on May 28th, 35 per cent. on July 18th, 40 per cent. on August 15th, or on the weekly or monthly basis extending over a period of 50 weeks or 10 months. An initial pay- ment of 4 per cent. will be required on subscrip- tions taken on the monthly or weekly plan.
