Some are not coming back at all. Theirs is the danger, their’» the ’oss of limb, of eye», of youth and Mtality—-of life. We at home are safe and secure, z protected by their sacrifice»- . | J ‘f : Wc must not fail in the com par ctlvely easy job of buying bond« while they are still fighting. .f t The Money Total deposit« in Sherman coun ty December 31, 1944 were $1,384,- 000 of $474,000 larger than the year before. Right now Sherman ociintians have better than $1,- F 00,000 on deposit here and ..else w here. Money in the bank draws no in- teieet. In less than 60 days there will be millions to add to it. Mon ey not in use might better be in bonds. If you do not invest the money the bank will—and get the interest. ..... fcp Reputation Sherman county has alwkys here lofore reached its quota. This time the sale of E bonds has not been enough to make the $190,000 E bond goal set for us. It is not too large a quota considering our wealth. Let it not be said our wealth is greater than our patri o tis m . .Sherman county has an enviable reputation in leadership of E bond sales.* No one has disputed that we are the national leader. To re tain that position we must meet our quota. Investment One of the county’s most suc cessful farmers buys bonds (and lots of them) because he remem here that the bonds he bought in the last war kept him from going broke when the bubble burst and times were hard. Crops will be poor again, price?» will be smaller. It has always been that way. It is the part of wisdom to pre pare for it for *tin man knoweth when hard times come again. Put ting surplus money now into bonds ghes assurance of income and working capital in the future. Be Sure and SAVE. How can a motor oil save gasoline? , • > «.
