It combines the spirit of Christ mas and the spirit of American patriotism as nothing else could. In my estimation, there could be no more fitting gift between friends and families this year It is not only a present from the giver to the reciptent, but it fs also an urgently needed loan to the government, and an earnest of one’s faith and fn- terest In the fighting success of every American boy In t war. Nor do its advantages end there <A Liberty bond given this Christmas {s many Christmas presents tn one, for it will multiply ft#elf into oth- or Christmas presents for many Christmases to come. This plan also will keep many of our badly needed American dollars from disap- pearing in the form of useless fripperies.
