Farmer Urged To
Buy War Bonds
Farmers of Jackson county
will be solicited in the Third
War Loan Drive which is in
progress now. War cannot be
won without planes, tanks, ships,
equipment and supplies. And
theso cost money. They are go
ing to be paid for either by
heavy taxes or through the sale
of war bonds which are not such
a sacrifice when you consider
that it all comes back.
Committees are at work In
every part of the county now,
so be prepared, when a solicitor
calls, to do your part in helping
to win this war and to control
inflation.

County Agent.
