slugger was then to escape, while

Don't get cared when anybody says
'bonds." One reason why moat peo
ple know very little about bonds Is
that usually they cont around $1,000
each, and you and I don't buy $1,000
things everyday. But our United
States is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50,
and It's high time now to learn that a
bond Is the safest investment on earth.
On the' United States Liberty Bond
you get 2% per cent interest, payable
every June 15 and Dec. 15, and ai^o
you get your entire principal back.
United States Liberty Bonds are cer

will have a wide and ready sale. Any

There isn't a real estate denier any
