The Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, AUGUST 26th., 1916. WAR LOAN CERTIFICATES.

THE public are reminded (hut War Lo:m certificates will si ill lie obtainable I'oi- some lime at nil money order offices throughout New Zealand. The fael that the Dominion Lnnn was so successfully Honied should not influence those who nre able to assist by purchasing: those eertilieates. In all, sixteen millions sterling is required for the purposes of the war, and although it was originally only proposed (o raise half the sum in New Zealand, ('very £1 additional that is raised in War Certificates will be Cl less to be raised abroad, and will so help (he 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 Ereneh finances lies in the fact that the people generally have a share in the State Bonds, which are held in small qUiiMtil ies by all sorts and conditions of men. All (hose who cannot help in Ibe war In' 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 an cut basinsast in every factory, every store and e\Cry shop who has the good of his country at heart would voluntarily lake 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 mutter.
