THE GOOD TO BE ACCOMPLISHED

The boys who are going to leave
the high schools to work on farms
because it is a patriotic duty, have
many of them promised to give a
goodly portion of their earnings to
buy Thrift Stamps for Uncle Sam
These boys, who are going to work,
and work hard, for their money, will
know, before the summer is over,
the difference between working for
their money and getting it from
their fond parents. And it is going
to do them a thousand times more
good and it is going to do Uncle Sam
lot of good, not only now, but when
the war is over and things will begin
to settle themselves into peace times
in this country.
When the war is over these boys
will have established habits of thrift,
the greatest necessity of the Ameri-
can people. Thrift is what Uncle
Sam is trying to instill into the boys
and girls of this country, for they
are the coming generation to whom
Uncle Sam is going to look for help
in all crisis.
Uncle Sam wants you, and you,
and you! And everyone else. He
wants you to join one of the War
Savings Societies in your community
and learn to save-learn to put your
money into Thrift Stamps-it is good
for Uncle SAINT is better for you.
And it is mighty good invest
ment! And you know it! Uncle Sam
is only borrowing your money-he
is going to pay you bigger interest
than you could draw at bank.
Uncle Sans word is good-you know
it-for you know that, no matter
where you were born, since you have
been a resident of the United States
he has given you a square deal.
See to it that you give him one
and buy Thrift Stamps every chance
you get!

labor bill is similar to that already

any person to reside in the state who
does not do mental or manual labor.
