' Mr. Doubtful: “I don't see how I can buy any more Liberty Bonds. I bought all I could last fall. Tm not a rich man and I don't think it*s fair or just to expect me to do anything more than I have done." %r. Right: “Let’s see —your next- door neighbor’s boy enlisted, didn’t he?” Mr. Doubtful: “Y esj he’s over in France now. Mighty fine, stalwart boy, that!” . Mr. Right: “Exactly, and some day ' that splendid boy, the pride of his par ents’ hearts, may go ‘over the top’ in a gal lant charge, stop a German bullet, and fall in the mud and debris of No Man’s Land. Isn’t that asking too much of him, and of his family? Is that ‘fair?’ Is that ‘just?’ ” Mr. Doubtful: “Why, it’s awful, of course, but it can’t be helped. This is war, end men have to be killed in it.” Mr. Right; “You’ve said it —this is war! To win the war it might be neces sary for the government to take your factory away from you, and ruin your business. It might be necessary to take your house and turn you out in the street. What-of that? Is that as great a sacrifice as your neighbor makes, or stands ready to make, when he gives his boy to his country? Yet you don’t think it’s your duty to pinch and save, and borrow if need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds, and thus help shorten the war, make vic tory certain, and save the lives of thou sands of American boys who will other wise be uselessly sacrificed. X ^ 's S' Mr. Doubtful: “I guess that’s true, Mr. Right, I have been thoughtless. I’ll stop complaining and criticising, and put up my last dollar if need be ( to help win this war.” W. * * » % Give Your Little One?, - # • ■ ' • An Interest in the Future • N This Space Paid For and Contributed By r Walterboro Coca-Cola Bottling Works -7T ! * . 3 ; / X \ One Hundred and Forty-TwoYears of Labor and Struggle / no Imme diate mtti tetfccbnrest- meatof aw money in LIBERTY BONDS!
