THE WAR LOAN.

A. REMINDER.

Tin! public arc reminded that War Loan certificates will still be on sale lor some time at all money order offices throughout New Zealand.

Tiie I'act that the Dominion loan was so successfully floated should not' influence those who are able to assist by purchasing these certificates.

In nil sixteen millions sterling is re(|iiircd 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 he £1 less to lie raised abroad, and will so help the Dominion in its self reliant policy. It is hoped that those who have not yet taken up one or more certificates will speedily do so. The great strength of the French finance lies in they act 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 men by going personally into battlefield can at least do something in the matter of finding the money required to bring it to a successful conclusion.

If some enthusiast in every factory, every store, and every shop,' who has tire*.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 good work and prevent the indifferent who would otherwise neglect to subscribe from overlooking their duty in this matter. •
