WHY BUY BONDS NOW?
Every American citizen who listens to radio, reads
newspapers, or gives any attention to the progress of
the war, knows that the Allies have a long and hard
road yet to travel before the unconditional surrender
of the Axis forces is achieved. Although they also
know that while we are gaining ground steadily, and
that our factories of production are turning out more
and more fighting equipment monthly, the cost in
dollars will be tremendous.
We need more battleships, more planes, tanks,
guns, merchant ships and supplies, and unless we
supply these our boys will be unable to fight without
great losses. This is what we are trying to save ; the
lives of our fighting men. If we can get planes enough
to bomb the life out of Germany we may save the
slaughter of an invasion. If we can have naval equip
ment of the seas and boats to transport supplies to
all our fronts, we can get equipment to the boys.
It is estimated that we will have a million casual
ties in 1943, and this sort of thing should not be al
lowed to continue in 1944 or 1945. • It takes taxes of
all kinds, and all the bonds we can buy. The national
quota has not yet been reached, nor has that of Ore
gon, or Umatilla county, or of Hermiston. Some have
> bought no bonds, some who are able, have not bought
enough. The time set for completing the sum asked
by our government is close at hand.

A MESSAGE TO ALL COAL USERS:
Prior to the war, coal dealers and users could get all
the coal they wanted, whenever they wanted it,
merely ordering it. The coal supply, railroad fa
cilities and distribution facilities were sufficient
to meet all demands currently.
However, this picture has changed. The war indus
tries, army camps, naval stations and others have
taken much of the coal. The railroads are crowd
ed with war materials rightfully so. Retailers
are short of manpower and trucks. These condi
tions are seriously menacing the coal supply for
next winter.
Here is how you can help — Buy and store your next
winter’s supply now. This is absolutely the only
way you will be assured of your next winter’s sup-
ply.
