The Marine Corps pays fifty cents
for each twelve yards. or So feet Of
this specially manufactured barbed
wire. The Army and Marine Corps
needs thousands upon thousands of
feet for defensive warfare. Your
purchase Of War, Bonds and Stamps
will insure SUFFICIENT quantity for
their needs. Invest at least ten
percent of your wages in War
Bonds every pay day.

Attack-Attack- That is
the way battles are won--that is
the way the beastly Hun has been
kept from completely engulfing
Stalingrad. True the Nazis are in
the outskirts of the guardian city
of the Volga; true there is little
left of the once proud buildings,
gigantic factories and mighty ar
senals-most of the city is rubble;
but from those brick red heaps of
smoldering debris comes a wither-
ing fire that has halted the greatest
army of all time. Hitler, nee
Shicklegruber, paper-hanger extra
ordinary, has torn out his sparse
locks in anger and disappOint-
ment over the, never-yielding Rus
sian resistance. Won Book, the
butcherer of thousands of German
boys, has been recalled. There are
even reports to the effect that the
famed marshal has been seen in
Berlin in civilian attire-all be-
cause he could not reduce the
"City of Steel" Stalingrad still
holds-Stalingrad does more than
merely hold, it fights back. Its
brave defenders have for the past
several days been steadily hacking
at the German left flank. 1t might
be only wistful thinking on my
part, but it occurs to me that an
other great destroyer-Napoleon-
forgot his left flank at Waterloo,
and Grouchy. the Prussian, taking
advantage of a moments disin-
terest by "Nappy", hurled his full
force on the left, flank of the
French, creating minute Of panic
that saved Europe. Let us all
hope and pray that the brave Rus
sian Army, facing the Nazi "octo-
pus" alone, will be able to perform
a fianking movement that will force
the Germans into a disastrous. re-
treat. If, however, the brave men
and women of Stalingrad are final
ly battered PROSTATE (they have,
shown how they can fight when
they are forced to their knees) and
the city is taken-let us, and l
mean by us, you and !, and the
other fellow the country over, be
determined to avenge these brave
people. You might ask: how can l
help? The answer is simple-if
you are eligible for military SER
vice and have not already volun-
teered you will not have much
longer to wait. Your big Uncle in
Washington needs you and will
take you. If you are deferred be-
cause you have dependents-go to
the bond chairman in your COM
and tell him you want to
sell some bonds; he will see that
you are given a supply to SELL
then go out and sell them; don't |
keep them in your pocket-put
them in somebody else's. If you
are not a salesman, you know you
never know just what you are until
you try! Go to your salvage chair
man and offer your services to him
he has a job for you getting in
the scrap that is so badly needed
to help win the war. If you are in
terested in little more active SER
vice, join some unit engaged in
civilian defense work, such as air
spotting, block wardens, State
Guard, etc. If you have looked this
list over and find that nothing suits
your particular skill-contact Josef
Stain and he will give you a job
filling sandbags ON the barricades
that ring every street, every house
in Stalingrad.

The saucy little Japs are getting
their ears slapped down again. The
Yanks and the Aussies got tired of
fooling in New Guinea, and brought
up some of those new field guns
that are making such a name for
themselves in the present war, |
strrted popping and Mr.. Jap start
ed dropping. Keep up the good |
work boys, the "Nips" are not so
tough. (The canibals in the South |
Seas say they are stringy and the
flavor is fishy, but they cook easy
and fall apart Just as soon as you
stick a fork in their ribs)

THE BIG PARADE
The big parade, held Friday night,
Was a grand and glorious sight
Showing our Civilian might,
Which is doing much to win this
fight.
Buying bonds is battle-cry,
To keep the Axis out of the sky;
And may we never have to die,
For lack of bonds we did not buy.
Your Uncle Sam needs money now;
BY buying bonds he'll show you
how,
In a few short years your money
will grow,
And be rewarded by the seeds you
SOW.
Buy all the bonds you possibly can,
And prove to your country that
you're man,
Who, under fire, did his best
And Uncle Sam will do the rest!
