loose one of the greatest attacks ever known to hu­
mans that established beachheads and drove the Ger­
mans back from five to 10 miles, and the reports say
with very small loss to our forces.
(’an you visualize the boys as they jump into the
water and go for the beach with machine guns, even
the few that were left after the bombardment of our
ships and planes, pumping lead at you, trying to estab­
lish a base? Unless you have been through this ex­
perience in some war, it simply can’t be done, visual­
izing such an experience. Those boys were trained
for months before the invasion took place, and that
training was tough and hard.
We at home thrill with pride over their success.
'The German population—the civilians were shocked
at the success of the invasion, for they were told that
it could not be done. The military had put such bar­
riers against an invasion that it would be impossible
to establish a base across the channel from England.
NOW the war starts for the finish. But this finish
is going to be the toughest job our armies have ever
experienced. Of course they will accomplish the job.
But thousands of our boys will not be coming home
to tell us about it. They are paying that price that
we might survive.
Quite a different picture is the home front. We
are living in the lap of luxury with more money to
spend than we ever had before. We really don’t
know what hardships are, as far as the war is con­
cerned. What tew incidentials we are denied do not
make our lives burdensome. We are sitting on top
of the world, while our boys take everything our en­
emies can throw at them.
The only thing we are asked to do is work harder
o th bo; s in the front ranks can have the materiels
they n “d to fight with—AND we are asked to save
«>m< of our money—invest it with interest—by buy­
ing v r bonds. The bonds that will buy the neces­
sities of war.
What a whale of a difference between the boys in
the armed forces and our lives at home. They risk
lib itself -we risk nothing. We are not compelled to
i elu if we don’t want to. We are only asked, as a
p triotic duty to BUY BONDS which will supply the
mmunition the armed forces need. AND, you
re not donating your money—only loaning it with
interest—saving for the future.
The Fifth War Bond Drive starts next week.
r\ one of us should make a little sacrifice (if it
n I o called a sacrifice) and save more money by
ii' , ..e 1 nds. This is our duty as good Amer-
l.et’s do as good a job as the boys are doing
on t i t i tuie fronts. Let's work harder at our jobs
nd vc more BUY MORE BONDS.

Judge Johnson Sells Pure
Bred Bull in Valley
County Judge W. A. Johnson
brot out a thoroughbred Guernsey
bull last Sunday which he sold to
John W. Smith. The judge now
has nine thoroughbred bulls in the
valley of the Berrie and Lad
breeding.
Judge Johnson states that out
of a herd of 30 young heifers, his
average test was 47.4 pounds of
butterfat for a month. This is a
remarkable record for young stock
and his herd is considered one of
the best in the county. The bulls
he is selling to farmers throughout
the county help bring other herds
into better production.
