DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
BY HAROLD A. LAMB
of the Vioilantes,

Your Liberty bond-whether 1t Is for
$50 or SCOOPS your savings. To
sell 1t is to lose your savings. The
longer you keep your bond, the more
valuable 1t is going to be.
1t does no good to Uncle Sam to
subscribe to his loan, and then sell the
amount of your subscription. Many
of us have strained ourselves to buy
the bonds, and necessity may force
some of us to get the money back.
But the way to do this is not to sell
bond. Dishonest sharpers will take
your bonds and give you, say $50 for
the 500.
If you must have money 90 to re-
liable bank or broker. They will lend
you 500 on the 500, and the interest
on your bond will nearly pay the in
terest on the money they lend you.
Then by paying Che loan. you can have
the bond back
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them.

will be worth--lt is estimated-S11O.

BRAVAD0 AND THE WAR
BY ROBERT GRANT
of the Viqilantes.

Recently during an intermisslon at
the movies a performer came out and
sang with gusto song, which pleased
the audience about "Pershing Crossing
the Rhine" Every few days one reads
headlines In the newspapers proclaim
ing that nine Americans have repulsed
or vanquished 33 Germans. This is
baleful talk. Our delay In the produc-
ton of ships and airplanes and guns
may have been unavoidable, seeing
that some people are thanking God
that the United States entered the war
unprepared, but we should at least re-
frain from bravado, stop boasting OF
what we are going to do and recognize
the gravity of our undertaking. l
heard an American officer high in COM
mand say not long ago, "If our troops
ever reach Berlin, when they come to
a certain building-the quarters of the
German military staff, let them lift
their hats" He spoke from the point
of view of military prowess.
1t is meet for Americans to bear in
mind that all other wars which they
or any other people have fought were
child's play compared with this the
most terrible and relentless contest In
history, and that their part in 1t has
only just begun. Let us cease to hug
the delusion that our troops are "over
there" to show the others how TO fight
and that all will soon be over but the
shouting. Let us open our minds to
the grim truth that this war which we
have pledged ourselves to win Is like
ly to be a supreme test of American
energy, endurance and self-sacri1ce
and to cost thousands Of American
lives. We are all of the belief that no
man is drawer than an American, Dut
it is indispensable that we appreciate
the quality Of the foe against whom
we are pitted; that he Is the arch-hend
of military competency and power, the
ruthless, unwearying embodiment OF
mastery force and resistance, mon
ster Of resourcefulness such as the
world has never seen.
The prophecy that Pershing Will
cross the Rhine had better be post
poned until he arrives in sight OF IT.,
and the confidence that two of Uncle
Sans soldiers can handle three OF the
enemy be put in cold storage until a
later stage Of the conflict.

Good, sound, common sense advice,
