HELP WHILE THE IRON IS HOT

THE DOMINION NEEDS IT.

The public are reminded that War Loan certificates will be on sale for some time at all Money Order offices throughout New Zealand. The fact that the Dominion loan was so successfully floated should not influence those who are able to assist by purchasing these certificates.

In all sixteen millions sterling is required for the purposes of the War, and although it was originally only proposed to raise half the sum in New Zealand, every £1 additional that is raised in war certificates will be £1 less to be raised abroad, and will so help the Dominion in its self-reliant policy.

It is hoped that all those who have not yet taken up one or more certificates will speedily do so. The great strength of the French finance lies in the fact that the people generally have a share in, the State bonds, which are held in small quantities by all sorts and conditions of men,

All those who cannot help the war by going personally into the battlefield can at least do something in the matter of finding the money required to bring it to a successful issue. If some enthusiast in every factory, every store, and every shop, who has the good of his country at' heart would voluntarily take on the duties of canvassing his fellow employees to purchase war certificates, he would be doing a good work, and prevent, the indifferent, who would otherwise neglect to subscribe, from overlooking their duty in this matter.
