MOTHERS OP FRANCE
Mothers of Prance --we send our sons to
you,
The ships go out from morn to eventide
Bearing with them the hope of our young
land,
That they may stand in battle side by
side,
With those, your sons, who die so well for
France.
'We shall hot be less brave than you have
been,
'With patient hearts we pay the price
you paid,
And wait our sons --but some will not
come home,
Nor shall we ever know where they are
laid.
Remember us -•for we are mothers too,
When fair peace gilds your Land and
poppies, grow,
Over your battlefields -Do not forget
Our Son, whose alien graves we do nut
ktir,w,
Tend thou our homeless dead--.Mott-re

The Victory Loan is a bridge
over which the farmers of Can-
ada drive their hogs, their cattle,
their grain and all their surplus
crops to the profitable British
market. -
For, the money raised by the
Victory -Loan enables Canada
to give credit to Great Britain.
And only by means of that cred-
it can Great Britain buy the
products of Canada's farms.
Therefore, when you come .for-
ward at your country's call and
loyally lend your money that
Canada may continue her vig-
orous prosecution of the .war,
you -are also benefitting your-
self and the whole farming
community.
It is the duty of every earnest
Canadian not only to invest
heavily in Victory Bonds 1918,
but to work among his neigh-
bors to make the loan a success.
Before the subscription lists
close, every man should realize
the sterling character of - the
investment; the good interest
return of 5-%; the undoubted
security offered in the Bonds of
this wealthy nation; and the
vital importance to all classes of
people, particularly to the farm-
ers, of the Victory Loan- 1918.
