' \ * ' x !* • I \ , i ; i Are Up For the BLOOD TEST **?£"■ 133 years ago next Friday—April 19, 1775—eleven men set the color standard for Ameri can blood. i 11 out of 70 men who were first to fight for the liberty which you enjoy to-day. They made no attempts at parley—they sought no time to adjust personal affairs—with them, the call of human liberty made all else of secondary importance. They were ready! They left their ploughs—they dropped the work in hand— They Were The Minute Men Of The Revolution And the blood they poured upon the field of Lexington was the deepest of red. Periodically the people of this nation have been called up for the blood test. In 1812, in 1845, in 1861, in 1898 American blood was tested, and the color measured up to the standard set by those eleven men back in 1775. To-day human liberty is at stake just as it was 133 years ago—the call for help is reverberat ing down through almost a century and a half, gaining in intensity every minute— ■ and every man, woman and child in these United States is called to the colors. "Over There" many of our own will prove again the color standard of American blood. * "Over Here" every one of us will be called upon to measure up to the same standard as those "Over There." \ They will fight for us as long as we give them the means to do so. Liberty Bonds Will Keep Them Fighting And everyone "Over Here" must buy just as everyone "Over There" must fight. You are up for the blood test. Will the color of your blood measure up to the standard set by the Minute Men? Your purchase of Liberty Bonds of the Third Loan is the basis of measurement. Remember, the Minute Men didn't ask for time —they didn't wait until they got other matters attended to they acted on the minute. What is the Color of your blood ?
