They Wye Their Lives
You Only Lend Your Money
Captain V. G. Tupper, Canadian Irish Sixth Battalion, died at Vimy
Ridge last April.
He wrote to his father, knowing that he was to lead his men
"over the top."
"You will know that your youngest son 'went under' proud as
Punch, on the most glorious day of his life," he wrote in his farewell letter.
"I trust that this biggest push that has ever been launched in the world,
is going to be the greatest factor towards peace.
"If I am going to die, this is worth it a thousand times."
Captain Tupper is one of thousands.
They have died as he died.
They gave their lives—freely, willingly, gladly.
Your government asks you to buy Liberty Bonds.
To buy them, mark you.
To give nothing.
Only to lend your money—for which it will pay you 4 per cent.
Can you refuse to buy Liberty Bonds?
Can you—when Americans will soon be in the trenches?
Can you—when these boys of ours will be dying—freely, willingly,
gladly—for the greatest cause in the world?
Can you?
No, you can't.

personal income this year.
