There Is noV offered to the A»

Second Liberty Loan. They will be
issued in such denominations and up
on such terms that every eldxao will
have an opportunity to assist the
Government by leading hie money up
on tbe security of a United States
Government bond.
It la essential to tbs sue cam of tbe
war sad to ths support of our troops
that times loans snail not only be
subscribed, but oversubscribed. No
one is asksd to donate or give hie
money to the Government; but ev
eryone if asked to lend his money
to tbe Government. Tbe loans will
be repaid in full vfith inter eat at
tbe rate of four per cent per annum.
A Government bond is the safest in
vestment la the world; it Is as good
aa currency and yat better, because
the Government bond bean interest
and currency does not. No other in
vestment compares whh it for safety,
ready convertibility Into cash, and
unquestioned availability as*collater
al security for loans In any bank
In the United States.
“People by thousands ask the
Treasury constantly bow they cam
help the Government la this war.
Through the purchase of Liberty
Bonds every one ean help. No more
patriotic duty ean be performed by
thaoe who cannot actually light upon
tbe field of battle than to furnish the
Government with the necaaaary
money to enable it to give our sol
diers and sailors all that they require
to mako them strong for the fight sad
