Hose a movement was started
in Illinois to see that each baby

start in life. The proper start

the certificates in trust and

put in more certificates to keep
the original one company.
A fifty dollar Liberty Bond
is the smallest member of the
Liberty Bond family. The
smallest member of the family
should have a bond. It will
form the nest egg for the early
schooling for the youngster,
the education that all parents
dream of for their babies.
Or it can be made the basis
for that savings account that
hundreds of families start and
maintain for each of their child
ren. It is an anchor that is
thrown far out into the future.
It is or can be made, the be
ginning of that financial inde
pendence that all people
dream of for their children.
Nor should it be forgotten
that the Liberty Bond will add
to its. self as the years go on.
It is a savings deposit in the
strongest financial institution

on the earth, the United States
Government.

the woman from close range

which he fired a shot at Meck

like to secure enough more to
make up the necessary mini

CONGRESSMAN AVIATOR
PLEADS FOR TEAM WORK
Representative Fiorella La
Guardia, of New York, in a
statement made public today,
tppealed to the American peo
pie to support the government
campaign o raise the necessary
funds through the sale of War
Savings Stamps and other gov
ernment securities. When
America entered the war rep
resentative La Guardia joined
the American Aviation Service
and headed the force of Amer
ican fliers co-operating with
the Italian forces. He served
through the last Austor-Italian
campaign and speaks with au
thority on war conditions. Rep
resentative La Guardia takes
the position that “the fighting
is over but the paying is not.”
His statement reads:
“Hostilities have ceased but
the government is yet under
heavy expenses. In order to
enjoy the blessings of peace,
obtained after a costly strug
gle, the government needs the
money—it appeals to its citi
zens. Every American citizen
should own Liberty Bonds.
This is a good investment and
at the same time a patriotic
service.
- me ouymg oi ±sonas ana
War Savings Stamps is conduc
tive to economy and encourag
es saving. To me it has even
a greater purpose, it will bring
every citizen closer to his gov
ernment. He becomes a part
of it and above ali things he
will see to it that as soon as
our boys are home and we get
back to normal conditions, the
government itself commences
to economize
“We must practice great
economy in the next few years
and it is the duty of every bond
holder to see that the govern
ment cuts down expenses and
that the country gets back to
normal conditions as soon as
possible. The government will
now help you save and in so do
ing you help the government
save.
“It is a great thing to be
able to loan your government
money.”
