II you were asked the question
DO you want your country TO win
this war;" YOU would answer, Most
assuredly," and YOU would take the
question almost as an insult, Hut
what are YOU doing to help win this
war; Everyone can do something
II you are not able to go to the
front and fight for your country
"over there" you can do something
or give something to help take care
OF the men and women who have
gone "over thcre" to risk their
lives for their country,

government by lending II your saw
ings, These stamps place II within
the power OF everyone. even the
children TO help the government to
meet the enormous expense OF the
war Buy thrift stamps and as soon
as YOU get enough exchange them
for war savings stamps. The war
savings stamp campaign Is fairly
started In Josephine county, and the
results OF the campaign so far are
very gratifying but We must not
slack up In our efforts TO bring the
county up to It's full quota.

praise should be given to our
teachers for instiliing into the chill

and equal praise should he given to
the children for the zeal and earn

effort In which they can participate.
