dear land of ours and take your place by their
side.
Now, girls, mothers sisters, wives and
sweethearts, when your soldier boys leave
don't cry; wear a smile long he can see
you anyway. Let him remember your smiling
face. And, listen, don't write him sad letters;
let them be cheerful you can make them.
And remember, girls, let's do our part here

never been whipped, and the kaiser must not
win.

Dear Aunt Julia So many of the cousins
have written and asked for the following

them all in person, so l am sending 1t to you
to be published. l wish to thank all of the
cousins who wrote such nice letters. will

five feet, three inches tall and my age is
not under fourteen and not over seventeen
HOyle A. Morton who told you to leave your
seat while l was describing myself? The other
cousins stuck to it valantly, but 1 suppose
they knew that 1 wouldn't ever try any more
to tell them how l look.
1 Aunt Julia frowning, so l think had
better close. Now for the song;
Buy your Thrift Stamps now; buy them now;
buy them now;
We will tell you how; tell you how; tell you
how.
Save your quarters, nickels, dimes,
Save your money; now's the time.
Go down in your jeans till you know it means
To make a sacrifice; pay the price, pay the
price.
You can do it if you try; do it now, not by
and by.
CHORUS
Do your bit; do your bit take a dare,
Do your share, beware;
For the Huns coming, our land DER running
Unless you stop them so take care.
Buy a Stamp, buy stamp, just a Thrift or
a War Savings Stamp.
Uncle Sam needs money. Can he count on you I?
When you lick a stamp, you lick the kaiser,
too.
Second Verse.
Please tell Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
That we're sure We can, sure can,
can.
Buy all the stamps he wants US, too.
To cheer up and not get blue.
Tell him not to worry any more; any more.
We know what they're for, what they're for,
what they're for.
Let him send them right away.
We will do bit today.
CHORUS
SOncerely,
JEANNE CARRAWAY.
