Our Duty
The sons of Sherman county are
coming home now, some to remain,
aud some to visit briefly before
they go on to the Pacific. 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»-

The Money
Total deposit« in Sherman coun

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

.Sherman county has an enviable
reputation in leadership of E bond
sales.* No one has disputed that
we are the national leader. To re

our quota.
