We can hardly conceive of such a
thing as any one being so ignorant
as to not appreciate what our boys
are doing for us in this great conflict
that they are giving for US, while we
are only asked to loan, to aid them
in this strife. If we can't buy a
bond we can few stamps, cut out
the cold drinks, pleasure trips, and
the all day singings, save the money
spent this way, and put it in W. 5.
Stamps, or help to buy bond. You
will get it back some day.
