They’re
Finishing
the Job
There are a million of our boys still “over there”
—there to stick it out to the finish.
And how about us? Remember we are their partners in the
big contract—that we have given our promise—one that will not be fulfilled
until we have paid our bills.
If the Victory Liberty Loan fails, so will we in our promise!
Buy to your full limit of cash and installments*—and don’t delay.

LOOK YOURSELF IN THE EYE ANo
THEN ANSWER SOME PERTI
NENT QUESTIONS.
HAVE YOU DONE DUTY?
Have you got the idea that you ve
done all you can afford to do for your
Uncle Sam and the boys who did your
fighting at the front?
Have you told yourself that you
have bought all the Liberty Bonds you
can carry?
That you have taken every single,
possible War Saving Stamp that you
can take care of?
And that you have given every pos»
sible red cent to the war aid societies,
including the Red Cross?
So you are satisfied, are you, now
that the war is over, that you have
done your part and that you will let
the rest of the country take care of
the balance of the war?
Do you stand up and stick your
thumbs in the arm hole of your vest
and talk whiningly about the way you
are being asked to subscribe?
And looking yourself in the eye can
you call yourself a red-blooded, 100 per
cent, a loyal dyed-in-the-wool sort of
an American?
Do you feel that you are just as
much responsible for the victory as
the chap who went across and lost an
arm? Or a leg, or an eye? Just a3
much as the lad who lost his hearing,
or his life, or all the future there was
for him*

A search party following a National
Guard Division through the woods
west of the Meuse came upon a Ger
man machine gun pit that had been
hit by an American shell. There were
five dead Huns in it. A few yards
avfay lay a lone American, who
been closing in on them. The top of j
his head was gone, but he lay facial j
the gun pit with his arms full of
grenades. Now, have you done every I
thing possible? Have you done your j
part as well as that lonely America |
who was boring straight in when tin J
Huns got him?
Have you done as much as the other|
fellow who stayed at home and
believed in the war, who did what h«l
could, who went into debt and is u0,j
saving and skimping and sacrifice j
to finish his bond payments?
You know whether you are a
or not. You know whether you
done all that you could. You ^ 1
whether you are in the mood to J

Are You a Slacker?
As a matter of plain fact there |
millions of Americans who never
do all that was in their power id
way of buying Liberty Bonds,
had the “quitting” strain in them’
along. They weren’t “slackers,
did a lot. But they never PJ»
