of the better armed neighbor. Women will be the mere instrument for continuing the
breed—the vessel of man’s lust and man’s cruelty—and labor will become a thing to be knocked
on the bead if it dares to give trouble, and worked to death if it does not. And from this order
of life there will be no appeal, no possibility of any escape. This is what the hun means when

You don’t have to pay all cash for your bonds. You can
make your first payment from cash in the bank, and take
care of the balance out of your daily, weekly or monthly
savings.
The forced saving you do now will mean a nice nest egg
later, for the bonds you buy now and pay for as you go
along, will prove a splendid investment that will pay you a
goocTinterest every six months. After the war, the bonc^
will be worth more than you paid for them.
Don’t hesitate to do your duty and do it quickly.
