The financial slacker the individual who can but does not buy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps. Slacking at home means more blood spilled by tnio blue American boys in France. Slacking in' America means starvation for innocent women and children in England, France and Italy. Slacking at home is a menace to the success of the American, British and French, arms in France. THE SLACKER'S REWARD The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America will not forgive slacking. The slacker is a marked man. Net only during the war, but as the war goes on and the casualty lists come in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent citizens. After the war is over he will bo. an object of contempt. He will bo without the regard of decent people in his community. His children and his children's children after him will pay a bitter price for his disloyalty For his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by humanity. , Inexorable fato is setting him apart and he will not escape.
