STAR—MONDAY, OCT. 22, 1917, PAGE 4 Speed Up, Seattle! Speed Up, Washington! ' —THE NATION IS WATCHING YOU! SPEED UP, SEATTLE! SPEED UP, WASHINGTON! Have you so soon forgotten the debt you owe the Nation for gifts and favors bestowed? Whence comes this Stream of Gold that flows through Shipyard and Factory, Mill and Forest, Farm and Mine? Who gave us America’s Greatest Cantonment and the Puget Sound Navy Yard, millions for Alaska’s develop- ment, each with its vast orders for supplies and local products? What stilled that cry for a® greater Payroll, satisfied that lifelong craving for a real “dinner-bucket”’ brigade? You merchants, you manufacturers, you bankers and professional men; you farmers and orchardists; you fish- ermen, lumbermen and mine owners; and you, too, Mr. and Mrs. Wage-Earner—what excuse have YOU to offer for “Slacking” on Liberty Bond buying? Every man, woman and child in the great Evergreen State is a war “profiteer” and owes a debt to the Nation that must be paid—you cannot escape! Liberty Bonds are an obligation that future genera- tions will help discharge. War taxes are something that you, and you alone, must pay at once. Which do YOU prefer? Only Five . Days More! WAKE UP, SEATTLE! WAKE UP, WASHINGTON! Show your gratitude for gifts and favors bestowed. Let us all pull together and “put one over” on the rest of the country—steal a “home-run” and win first place! Think what fame, what honor it would bring us if the news that Washington was first to subscribe its quota was i to every home, every reader under the American ag! Liberty Bonds are like money, except that they draw 4 percent, with interest payable to YOU every six months; they are earning money for youevery minute, every hour of the day. Merchants and business people will be glad to take them any time. _ You can buy Liberty Bonds on the easy passnent plan through your banker or employer, or at Liberty Loan Headquarters—just a very small payment down. You pay no interest on deferred payments. Printed blanks explain all the details. : But six days are given us to choose between Liberty Bonds or Taxes. ACT QUICKLY lest Uncle Sam rises in righteous wrath and takes from us by force that which he seeks only to borrow on the world’s best security and on which he will pay promptly a high rate of interest. Don’t wait for committeemen to call on you. Go to your bank, your employer or to Liberty Loan Head- fiend to department stores and other places where iberty Bonds are on sale and buy to the limit of your resources.
