We’re all hoping there'll be jobs aplenty, jobs which mean making something for somebody's happi ness and not for somebody’s sor row. That's where your War Bonds come Into the picture. Sure. Amer icans own billions of dollars of War Bonds now; and before this 4th War Loan ends they will have put away billions more. But how about you? You’re the one that counts.

Old Uncle holds that out. (And not to mention The old-age pension, Though that’s worth talking about.) But that’s as far as they will go. Deductions stop right there. The rest of their dough Is theirs, you know, They’ve not a cent to spare. Oh times are always tough for some And sick ones may get sicker. The war can be won WITHOUT fifty-one But WITH them, a whole lot quicker. L uck indeed. Replacements on many items are practically unobtainable. So be extra careful now about fire.
