HELP BRING THE BOYS HOME
BY Don Gcmpcriing, Troop

The Government thinks it can get
the boys back from France in about
ten months. While our boys are
awaiting their turn, they must be
fed and clothed; and they must have
medical attention. 1t will take at
least one billion dollars to keep
them in Europe until the last man is
back. There are cor were) over one
and one-half million men in the
service here at home. 1t required
about six months to get them back
to civil life. Allowing three months
for the average, it will cost over
half billion dollars to maintain
these men until they are released.
How about the Navy? We must
keep the Navy at a high state of
efficiency, and therefore, as COM
pared with the Army, fewer men
will be released from duty.
Don't say Let the banks do it,"
Where do banks get their money?
From deposits. Who are the deposit
tors? We are. If the banks lend
all their money to the Government,
where will money come from to
keep business going.
Don't say, I'm tired of putting
up money" You're not tired of
good investments are you? Is there
any better form of security than
United States Government Bonds?
The first four loans sent the boys
over and equipped them; this, the
Victory Loan, will bring them back
and finish up the job. Will you
take your share? or will you let
someone else take yours in addi-
ton to his own? 1t is a matter of
national honor and also of personal
honor. so buy bonds.
