No. 7, GALT, ONTARIO Champion Plowman of Ontario, 1942. - VICTORY BONDS Mr. Brown, who is President of the Central Dumfries Farmers' Club, has competed in 37 plowing matches in the last three years. In these 37 contests he has won 34 First Prizes and 3 Second Prizes. "Bob" Brown bought Victory Bonds in the First, Second and Third Victory Loans, and has placed his order for Bonds for the Fourth Victory Loan to the limit of his capacity. When Mr. Brown urges others to buy Victory Bonds his recommend- ation carries weight for he backs his words with action. "Bob" Brown plows a straight furrow and thinks in a straight line. He knows fanners' problems. Here is what Bob Brown says about Victory Bonds : "If Canadians were asked to give money to help to win the war, we would not be asked to make a big sacrifice. Some are giving their lives. But we are asked to lend money. I am sure that farmers throughout Canada will be glad to lend money to their country, for like all other Canadians, they know we must do all we can to help. "There is a practical reason for buying Victory Bonds, too. The money we lend to Canada now, to help win the war, will be ours to use as we please after the war has been won. Ready cash will be handy to have when we will want to replace farm equipment that is wearing out now. A farmer can always find a use for savings, and there is no better way to save than by Investing all we can in Victory Bonds." the Attack!" BUY 4 VICIORY BONDS WHAT A VICTORY BOND IS: A Victory Bond to the promise of the Dominion of CanmU to repay in caah the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, with half-yearly interest at the rate of 3% per annum until maturity. A Victory Bond is the tafest m vest-turn t in Canada. The entire re*otirm of the Dominion atand behind it. Canada has been iaauina bond* for 75 year*, and baa never failed to pay every dollar of principal and interest. A Victory Bond it an aaaet more readily converted into c**h than may other ecurity.
