THAT WE MIGHT LIVE IN THE KIND OF A COUNTRY WE WANT AND LIVE THE WAY WE WANT TO. Over a hundred thousand boys, the flower of the land, have paid the last debt that we might keep this country the way we want it. Some of our local boys were among them. Want to change jobs? Uncle Sam is now asking those of us who are left at home to help keep our boys in materiels to keep on killing that we might maintain and keep the Republic we have fought for since 1776. He is not asking us to give him anything—only to lend, and we all get a nice interest on the loan. That certainly is a mighty small help compared to the men in the fighting forces. They give up so much more than we do, and they also are making loans to Uncle Sam to keep the wheels running that makes the air­ planes fly. Too many of them are giving too much. We should not shrink from doing our share. In this third bond drive—The Invasion Bonds—Ev­ eryone of us in the Illinois Valley should buy bonds until it really cramps us—at least just a little. Only $150 per person is asked. You will be saving this money and get interest on it besides, and after the war is over, you will have something to cash in on and build, or buy, or do the things you want to do. You don't have to hold the bonds until they mature. You can cash them 60 days after you buy them, if you have to.
