ARE YOU a JAPAEAZI
 OR ARE YOU AN AMERICAN ?

A JAPANAZI-Lives under the Stars and Stripes enjoying all the privil- eges of freedom and democracy, But,
 Betrays his country, his home and his neighbor by insidious agi- tation, talk and actions;
 Considers it his duty to Haunt the Bill of Rights and freedom of speech privileges to undermine the morale of contented citizens in fur thering the base objectiYes of foreign dictators;
 Demands high monetary returns for doing his simple duty toward protecting the country which feeds and clothes him;
 Refuses to do Home guard or oth- CT patriotic duty, or does it in a haphazard manner;
 Finds fault with those in author ity and protests against orders giy- en him.
 REMEMBER - A grumbler, fault finder and pessimist is always un- popular. In war time he is abhor- rent. Hes Japanazl. AN AMERICAN - Is mindful con- stsntly of the privilege of living un- der the Stars and Stripes;
 Considers it a privilege to give himself and his services freely for the defense of his country, his home or his neighborhOod;
 Puts civic returns, in serving his country, above all thoughts of mon etary returns;
 Is willing to give his all-out ser vice for all-out victory of his coun- try;
 Obeys orders cheerfully, promptly and proficiently.
 REMEMBER - It's YOUR home, YOUR freedom, YOUR job and YOUR business you are protecting. Every good American throughout the na- tion is doing his part unstintingly- you're not alone.
 When you're grouchy, sleepy, tired or discouraged-REM THE BOYS AT WAKE ISLAND - they were remembering YOU.

RUM0RS

H. D. Collier, president of thu Standard Oil Company of California has issued the following instruc tions to the employees of that com pany:
 Every member of this Com pany must do his utmost to help win this war. In every possible way we must aid the Govern ment and the military forces. One of the most important ways of contributing to success is to protect the Army and the Navy by refraining from discussing their activities. We are in con- tact with the armed forces at many points. Our employees of- ten osberve Army and Navy ac- tiyities. THESE THINGS MUST NOT BE REVEALED. Keep such information to yourself. Don't even tell your friends. A casual comment about the move ment of ships, naval or mer- SAdhIS UT dDOuI tAc uuOfclncnl of troops might be of great value to the enemy and lead to disaster. Military authorities are pleading that the public re- frain from gossip and the spreading of rumors.
 We have here a most serious duty. Therefore, my earnest re- quest to all employees is to SERVE IN SILENCE. DON'T REVEAL MILITARY INFOR- NATION ,"
 This request, we believe, shoul be needed by every American Spreading of gossip and rumor plays directly into the hands Of tn enemy. SERVE IN SILENCE" i a mighty good motto for all of us.
