passing through
a n unmoral
development, resulting in the
scribbling o f filthy words and
pictures alniut town.

been current in this section, to

A. work at San Antonio. Texas.

“ Groceries wre have, the best to be had,
Our Service, the best we know’ how;
Our prices, are not all to the bad.

I f you knew anything Germany
would like to know, let this be
your Speechless Day.
“ Our stock is complete
And t> please you we aim.
While our prices cojnpete
With others, just the sam e.”
Germans — their agents a n d

Keep Your eyes peeled, Your
lips sealed. Your heart steeled.
Your idle prattle may lose a bat

Our Motto
“The Best is None Too Good for You”
One German Arm y has already
occupied America. The invisible
host o f Spies is every where.
Swat the fly! Spot the Spy!
Spies feed on little crumbs o f
conversation, little glances o f ob
servation. Starve them out!
Benedict Arnold was an A m er
ican Officer trusted and loved by
George Washington. Three cow
boys caught the spy whose papers
exposed Arnold.
K e e p your
eyes open.
R e p o r t suspicious
persons who ask curious ques

It is rumored the Kaiser is
making a special lot o f Iron
( rosses for Americans who help
him by careless talk. Have you
qualified yet for your Iron Cross?
Don’ t tell all you know to peo
ple you don’ t.
A word to the Spies is Suf
ficient. Don’ t tell all you know.
