accepting whatever sacrifices are involved.
So that credit for the bonds they purchase
through the Payroll Savings Plan may be
allocated to the states and counties IN
which they live, and their bonds delivered
with the least possible delay, the Great
Northern Railway became an agency for
the Treasury Department for issuing
Series s'E" bonds. More than $4,000 of
these bonds are issued every month at
the Company's Offices at st. Paul. The
Great Northern is not reimbursed IN any
way for this expense.
Through the Federal Reserve banking
system, every bond issued by the Great
Northern is credited to the quotas as
signed to the state and county in which
the employee makes his home.
Besides BACKING THE ATTACK with
their Dollars, these Great Northern men
and women are BACKING THE AT

every requirement of the Government for
the transportation of troops, their equip

The Third War Loan starting Septem-
Der 9-gives all us stay-at-homes another
chance to show our colors- another op-
portunity to help our country and to help
ourselves at the same time.
The Treasury Department has made it
clear that if the Third War Loan is to be
success, common everyday citizens must
put lot more money into War Bonds
than heretofore.
The quota assigned for the people of the
United States apart from banks, insur-
ance companies and other corporations
is the largest amount of money any Gov
ernment has ever asked of its citizens.
And the money can't be raised unless
everybody just the other fellow
resolves to 60 without things in order
to buy more War Bonds.
In every community where there are en-
ployees of the Great Northern Railway,
their cooperation in making the Third
War Loan a success can be taken for
granted.
Twenty two thousand of these Great
Northern men and women are buying War
Bonds regularly through the Payroll
Savings Plan. Many of them are buying
additional War Bonds from their local

Spirit of Christmas Holidays Spoiled by Impos-

Suggested by Community
Chest President.

The period between now and
Christmas is one Of numerous
contribution appeals from local,
national and international organ
izations. 1t is a time when the
response to appeals for worthy
organizations suffers from the
thoughtless response to unworthy
appeals, which are camouflaged
cleverly to profit from the gener-
osity of American contributors.
Now and throughout the year,
may I urge that our citizens call
the Community Chests by phone
4-3127 or In person at 81 Church
street when solicited for contribu-
tons to an organization about
which they know little or moth
ing. Through connections with
various national reporting agen-
cies the Chest can quickly check
whether the organization in ques-
ton is sound and honest.
If only all contributors would
follow certain simple rules, the
racketeers and unsound charities
would automatically be run out Of
