in the army? That is to help roll up
the $4,000, 900 900 loan for Uncle Sam
Are you heart and soul in this fight

you going to back up your talk with
action? A parrot can talk. Let us
make our armies invinsible-with
money without limit 1t means plenty
of ships, guns, ammunition, food and
clothing Our boys have staked their
lives on the issue Can we do less
than lend our money when brave, mo-
