UP and DOWN Parish STREET
BY PERCY GREENE

Parish Street Saturday night:
was sitting in one of those WAR
STAMP BOOTHS" down In the
heart Of the ole Avenue selling war
stamps right along and just fixing
to make a couple of more sales
when up comes a brother from
down around Clinton and then and
there he stops me to tell me that
down there Bill had told him that
Pete had told him that John has
told him, etc, that it didn't do no
good to buy war stamps unless you
could by Bond. Well all them
folks were downright wrong. What
you are buying war stamps for is
first, to help win the war, and sec
ond, TO save some of the war time
money you get hold of so as to have
little spending change when the
war is over. If you can't buy moth
ing but dime stamp, buy it. A
dime stamp will buy five shells for
a 10 pistol. If you buy $18.70 worth
OF dime stamps you can get a bond
and Uncle Sam will give YOU S25
Tor 1t after the War. If you don't
buy but dime Stamp the Post
office will give you your dime back
for it. In this stamp business every
body can do something. In doing
your something, do the best you
can. l never saw nothing like this
stamp business where you were
winning any way you take it. And
the widows mite counts as much
IN this business of winning a war
as 1t did in that story in the Good
