Wffl You Back Your Uncle Sam?
He has entered the fight to save de¬ mocracy. Already 500,000 of his boys are "Somewhere in France"—there to stop the barbarous Hun, rather than at our own gates.'
We must win the war. Biit to^ win it Uncle Sam needs your backing— your money. The First and Second Liberty Loans were promptly taken up, but largely by the city^ people.'
The Third Liberty Loan
should be taken more largely by the people of villages and farms, as evidence of thek well d^ served reputation for patriotism.
Thus will you men and women of rural America prove yourselves ^vorthy of Uncle Sam's boys on land and sea—the boys who are protecting the dollars Uncle Sam asks' you to Joan him.
Loan every dollar you can spare to your Gov- emm ent It is good patriotism and good business. Go today — now—to your local Liberty Loan Committee, or any banker, for complete infor¬ mation—then
