f Approximately ten million litho
graphed posters have been prepared
and distributed by the Bureau of Pub
licity of the War Loan Organization of
the Treasury Department to remind
the patriotic citizenship of the nation
of its duty to invest in the Victory Lib
erty Loan. The designs are exceeding
ly attractive and unite to convey a
powerful appeal and to create a na
tional atmosphere which will prevent
any one from ignoring the fact that
Uncle Sam’s fifth great financial drive
is going forward with even more vigor
than any of its notable predecessors.
The keynote poster of the loan —the
great twenty-four sheet poster which
through the patriotic co-operation of
the Poster Adv<vtising Association
will adem the billboards of the coun
try, and a smaller poster adapted from
the same design—sychronizes with the
robust slogan, "Finish the job.”
This poster, which is considered by
many critics to be the greatest Liberty
Loan poster that has been produced,
appeals to every man who works with
his hands, he he laborer, farmer, sail
or, railroad man or other representa
tive of the American army of brawn
and muscle. He Is the worker with
his right hand in his pocket reaching
for money with which to invest in the
Victory Liberty Loan. This man, paint
ed by Gerrit Beneker, obviously has no
sympathy with bolrhevism. He is a
partner with his government. His but
tons of the four previous Liberty Loans
bear evidence of his share In solv
ing the financial problems which
came up in the stress of the fight, and
bis attitude and expression of ready
confidence on his face Indicate con
clusively that again he stands ready
to provide the necessary money for
the nation, while, with admirable com
mon sense and prudent forethought,
making the soundest of Investment for
himself.
The display of twenty-four sheet pos
ters of this design aggregates 35,000,
and is believed to be the largest dis
play of twenty-four sheet posters ever
made in the United States. The ag
gregate donations of space for war ac
jtivities by the Poster Advertising As
scc’ation, which is chiefly responsible
for the free display of these large bill
board posters has been estimated at
11,500,000.
The official issue of the smaller pos

ters of the Victory Liberty Loan em
jbraces fewer designs than any previ
ous loan, but approximately the same
number of pieces.
Foremost on the list of the smaller
posters is the adaptation of the twen
ty-four design, size 26 in. x 38 in., lith
ographed in eight impressions by Ed
iwards and Deutsch, of which 1,768,705
copies have been ordered, in response
to requests received at Washington
ifrom the respective Federal Reserve
District Victory Liberty Lean organi
zations. Then comes the design enti
tled “For Home and Country,” paint
|ed by Alfred Bveritt Orr, representing
the reunion of a returned soldier with
•his wife and child.
i
This poster has been lithographed in
eight impressions and two sizes. Of
the 20 in. x 30 in. size 860,725 have
been produced and of the 30 in. x 40
iin. size 711,312.
The “symbol”’ poster of the Victory
Liberty Loan is a blue “V” outlined in
white to give great visibility on a mot
tled red ground with the word “In
vest” in white below the “V.” The
entire poster is outlined in white and
has a broad blue border. It constitutes
an enlargement of the 12 C wind shield
.sticker and is similar to the “Teaser”
•poster which was used as a mystifying
introduction to the general poster cam
paign. Approximately 1,000,000 of
these posters have been lithographed.
The poster “Americans All,” paint
ed by Howard Chandler Christy, rep
resenting a woman paying tribute to
the Americans of diverse racial ori
gins, who gave their lives for the flag
on the fields of France, is considered
by Mr. Christy to be the finest war
painting he has ever produced. Of this
designed there have been lithographed
1,893.426 posters in nine impressions,
else 27 in. x 40 in.
A poster which should give lively
satisfaction to every individual who
takes pride in the achievements of the
American Expeditionary Forces is
from the brush of Clyde Forsythe, size
80 in. x 40 in., and lithographed in nine
impressions, with a second edition in
•the 20 in. x 30 in. size. Of the larger
size the edition is 1,000,000; of the
smaller, 467,600. The design shows a
doughboy carrying German helmets,
'returning wounded, but triumphant
and happy from a victorious assault
upon the German trenohes. This pos-

ter bears the splendid captain—" And
(they thought we couldn’t fight.” An
ample s pply of this poster was sent
to Gene a.l Pershing well in advance
of the coening of the Loan, and it Is
safe to assume that by this time these
posters are well displayed in the
areas of Germany under occupation
by the American Expeditionary Forces.
It must carry a painful lesson to the
Germans, who during the war were re
galed with German posters picturing
Uncle Sam with an insignificant army
and purporting to prove that America
icould not become an important factor
in the conflict.
The sea forces are recognized in the
Victory Liberty Loan series by L. A.
Shafer's poster, designed, engraved
and lithographed in eight impressions,
size 30 in. x 40 in. and oblong in shape.
This poster is a spirited depiction of
the saving of an American transport
from a German submarine and should
appeal to every admirer of our navy.
A camouflaged American destroyer has
(cut across the bow of a great trans
port laden with troops and looming out
of the mist, just in time to drop a
depth bomb on a lurking German sub
marine, which instead of sinking the
itransport, has been compelled to come
: to the surface and surrender.
The National Woman’s Liberty Loan
icommittee will have 300,000 posters,
; size 20 in. x 30 in., executed with ar-
Itistic restraint in gray and black on
buff by J. M. Howlett.
i A “flyer” poster for the spe
cial purpose of advertising the avia
'tion feature of the Victory Liberty
Loan publicity campaign also will be
used.
A special poster approximately four
t feet in height by 28 feet in length has
been prepared, the wording being
‘‘They have given their all forever.
You are asked to lend for & while.”
There is also an eight-sheet poster,
white letters on a red ground, reading
“ Practical Patriotism the Victory
Liberty Loan” and a three-sheet pos
ter in one piece carrying a large “V”
and the wording “Invest Victory Lib
erty Loan” in red and blue on white.
The Victory Liberty Loan posters
are released for display beginning on
April 13, or approximately a week in
advance of the Victory Liberty Loan
Campaign, which opens April 21 and
ends May 10.'

Therefore, a pound of Buckeye Hulls goes a third again
as far as a pound of old style hulls. In other words,
you only have to feed pound of Buckeye Hulls to
give the same food value as a full pound of old style
hulls.
Other Advantages

ton than old style hulls. Sacked —easy to handle.
Buckeye Hulls allow better as- They mix well with other forage,
similation of other food. They take less space in the barn.
Mr. Ben Faulk, Dothan, Ala.,
prefers Buckeye Hulls to old style hulls because cows
like them as well, they are cheaper, they agree with the
cows, and they go farther, one sack lasting as long as
two sacks of the old style.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
