Defense Bonds Mean Victory

Those who object to the purchase of
war bonds to aid their government in
this war crisis should feel somewhat
ashamed of themselves when it is
considered that about $4,000 a month
are being donated to the government
outright without bonds or any strings
of any kind. The larger part Of
these donations are made by people
who came to America to get away
from foreign lands and have done
well here in this free country where
opportunity is not limited asd where
everyone has a chance to be somebody
In making the donations those send
ing the money to the secretary of
the treasury state that they feel
obligated to the u. S. for taking
them out of bondage and are doing
their bit to help out in this time of
stress. The donations are in small
amounts and prove that the people
are behind the government with both
blood and cash.

RENO w. TUOMALA, private, first
class in the marine corps, is listed as
missing and may be a prisoner of
war, according to a message received
Friday by his mother, Mrs. Hanna
Tuomala.
A similar message was received the
same day by Mrs. Fannie Taylor, Rob-
inSon, stating that her son, Claude
Taylor, Jr, private, first class was
missing.
Both boys enlisted in the fall of
1910 and were sent to the Philippines
a year ago.
Tuomala, wounded in action, was
awarded the purple heart for bravery.
No word has been received concern
ing the fate of the other Ely boys
last known to be in the Philippines.
The message received by Mrs.
Tuomalo, signed by 1t. Gen. T. Hol-
comb, commandant of the marine
corps, said:
1.-The commandant of the u. S.
marine corps regrets to advise you that
according to the records of this head
quarters your son, Private First Glass
RENO w. Tuomala, u. S. marine
corps, was performing his duty in the
service of his country in the Manila
bay area when that station capitu-
lated.
"He will be carried on the records
of the marine corps as missing pend
ing further information. No report of
his death has been received and he
may be prisoner of war. 1t will
probably be several months before
definite information can be expected
concerning his status.
"Sincere sympathy is extended to
you in your anxiety, and you are
assured that any report received will
be communicated to you promptly"
