It is higher interest than the bank can afford to pay. With the wealth of these United States—$250,000,000,000—behind them these bonds are the best investment on earth. They also constitute an asset which any bank is willing to lend money on at any moment. In fact, the security behind them is such that nearly every merchant in the cities advertises that you buy his goods with Liberty bonds at their face value. Although the government wants the buyers to hold them and realize the interest themselves, for all practical purposes they are as good as money.

The reason the government is going to the ranchers with this loan is that this war is a war for all people. Director Lively said, "To be sure the city man is getting big wages. Despite high prices he probably has more money than he ever made before. He has loaned much to the government but if he loaned all it wouldn't be enough. We are all Americans in this war, city man, farmer, and sailor. Each man must do his part. The war is far from won.

The United States government by the establishment of a division of agriculture in this Liberty loan shows what it thinks of its ranchers and stock raisers. Buy the bonds of your government and show the rest of the country what you think of yourselves.
