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.
