seen pcihaps CO per cent, of the

them frOtn North lind South Carolina.
I met a negro the other duy, black

One Hundred and Forty-Two Years
of Labor and Struggle
THE American people fought their first
battles (or liberty and the rights of self
government one hundred and forty-two
years ago.
^ At that tune, and for many yean thereafter,
their realization of their national r spirationt and of
the goal toward which they were really striving
was vague and indistinct. But step by step they
struggled onward and upward toward a light which
grew clearer as tkeir eyes and minds slowly opened
to its significance. Today, as a result of their strug?
gles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy our
priceless American institutions.
?J These . institutions must be preserved. The
structure so laboriously reared in these one hun?
dred and forty-two years will be utterly destroyed
if we do not spring to its defense with every atom
of our energy and determination. This is not a
situation which may be trifled v \ or evaded, or
put off. It is ore which must be met now?today
?no matter what sacrifices it may entail, or what
the cost may be.
The imme?
diate need
is the invest?
ment of our
money in

How Do Your
Sacrifices Compare
With These'
THE American boy who goes to war
gives up the position which means
so much to his future, or the little
business which has just begun to show
promise of success.
He severs home ties; gives up home comforts;
leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart
He faces the probability of being obliged to
take up life anew when he returns; of losing all
the advantages which years of hard work have
won for him.
He faces the possibility of coming back in?
capacitated for earning a living, and of being
dependent upon his friends or upon charity.
He faces the possibility of never coming
home at all.
Facing these things, he goes to France to
fight for us who remain safely at home ? and
when the moment comes for him to go over
the top ?he GOES!
What will he thin\, how wili he
feei, if we complain because we
are asked to make a few sacri?
fices for him ? sacrifices so insig?
nificant when compared with his?
Show him that to invest in Liberty
Bonds is not a SACRIFICE
but a PRIVILEGE ?an appre?
ciation of his sacrifice!
And When You Buy? Buy!
