Many Women Mr. Brown, who is President of the Central Dumfries Farmers’ Club,'has competed in 37 plowing matches in the last three years. In these 37 contests he has won 34 First Prizes and 3 Second Prizes. “Bob” Brown bought Victory Bonds in the First,. Second and Third Victory Loans, and has placed his order for Bonds for the Fourth Victory Loan to the limit of his capacity. When Mr. Brown urges others to buy Victory Bonds his recommend­ ation carries weight for he backs his Words with action. “Bob” Brown plows a straight furrow and thinks in a straight line. He knows farmers’ problems. Here is what Bob Brown says about Victory Bonds: “If Canadians were asked to give money to help to win the war, we would not be asked to make a big sacrifice. Some are giving their lives. But we are asked to lend money. I am sure that farmers throughout Canada will be glad to lend money to their country, for like all other Canadians, they know we must do all we can to help. “There is a practical reason for buying Victory Bonds, too. The money we lend to Canada now, to help win the war, will be ours to use as we please after the war has been won. Ready cash will be handy to have when we will want to replace farm equipment that is wearing out now. A farmer can always find a use for savings, and there is no better way to save than by investing all we can in Victory Bonds.” National War Pittance Committee WHAT A VICTORY BOND IS: A Victory Bond ia the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in cash the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, with half-yearly ihtercst at the rate of 3% per annum Until " v.“;to,ry Bond is the safest investment in. Canada. The entire resources bf the Dominion stand behind it. Canada has been issuing' bonds fot 75 years, and has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and interest. A Victory Bond ia art asset more readily converted into cash than any other security. Wear This Emblem of Victory
