DID YOU KNOW—
That in nearly all Americans there
is a YEN for natural optimism—we
know that the war will not be over to-
morrow—we know that it may be a
hard long fight, but we can’t help
looking forward to the beautiful rose
colored days of peace. That is all
right unless—it makes us relax our
effort to win—UNLESS—it makes
us lose our memory of the results of
the last war. DON’T let us lose that
memory of the depression, the pover
ty, the long bread lines, the soldiers
walking the streets looking and look
ing for work, and not finding it.
Peace will bring economic problems,
and this time let us be ready to meet
them face to face and have the solu
tion for those boys who come back.
Let us back them up now and then
with the Bonds that will spell VIC
TORY, PEACE and SECURITY.

All those attending the Firemen-

Day at the UOD will again be hand
led by the American Legion Auxiliary
of Hermiston. Members will be post

of shifts. Our sale for last year was

on—let’s beat it this year, now that
we know that Poppies are doing a
double duty. Families of veterans of
this war as well as the families of
men who were killed, injured or in
capacitated in World War I are being
cared for. Every one wants a Poppy,
so—LEST WE FORGET—POPPY
