They are “Little Baby Bonds”; thley have the government and its entire re sources behind them and they pay you 4% interest, compounded quar terly. They cost you $4.17 for a $ stamp during the month of June, and they automatically increase in value a cent a month thereafter untitl January Ist, 1923 .when the government wil redeem the same at any postoffice o at the treasury in Washington. If holder find it necessary to realize cash on it before maturity, he may at any time after January 2,1919, upon giving ten days’ notice in writing to any money order postoffice, receive for each stamp the amount paid therefor, plus 1 cent for each calendar month . after the purchase of each stamp. You’l can have them registered and you are 1 also protected in case of loss. This [ is the safest security yet offered you, ; and the most convenient of any offer . ed, because the denominations are so small they can be reached by every l one. Every person should do his or her ■ part in this great fight, nad this should | be the war spirit of every true-blue American —this spirit will win the war The day of talking patriotism is pass ed —the time has come to practice it Remember your government has set Friday as date for purchase of these stamps, and every true American will be summoned to enlist in the grea “army-that-stays-at-hmme” and sign ( hig pledge card to invest a definite ( amount in theses tamps.
