GOOP MEWS!
Banks May Be Closed But
the General Postmaster
j Here and Elsewhere Will
| Cash Your Bond Coupons.
- *
If It is before 9 and after 3, the
hanks are closed and the corner
grocer doesn't really know whether
he can do it or not—and the butcher,
having never seen a United States
bond coupon, looks at you with a lurk
suspicion in his well-known eye,
don't feel badly because you need
the money and you can't get your
Liberty Loan coupons cashed. The
post office will do It.
• Liberty Loan headquarters in this
city to-day received notice from the
folks higher up that every post office
in the United States has been in
structed by the department at Wash
ington to cash coupons from govern
ment bonds. That means even the
post offices in metropolises like Pos
sum Glory, Indiana county. Pa., will
take your coupon and give you the
money. ,
But before post offices will give one
money in this manner it is neces
sary to have a* bond—and the best
bond proposition at this time is the
Liberty. Harrisburg's campaign opens
October 22. and after that date it
will be possible for every man in the
Harrisburg district and every wo
man to have a bond to clip.

You Know Someone Who Has Gone
Every day you can see them going—cheerfully—weighed
down with a noble responsibility, leaving their homes, their
families, on their way to cantonments —later wherever ordered.
They are giving up everything. Their hopes, their am
bitions, their lives are at stake.
You are not going. You are here with your families,
your friends, your future.
What Must You Do to Help?
Your countrf needs men, and the men are giving them
selves—your husband, your son, your brother, your associate,
your companion, the man who a few weeks ago ycu were in
the habit of saying good morning to—he's gone.
Your government now needs money to feed, to clothe,
to shelter, to nurse, and we hope to bring back these men.
You can help, you must help and you know you will
help at once by investing some money you have or will save
in a%nited States Government 4°/° Liberty Bond.

under weekly payment plans that make it possible for anyone to buy
