AUTHORITIES OF

the United States treasury have
expressed concern over the rapid
rate with which many folks are
cashing their series ''E" war bonds
without first considering that with
but slight sacrifice they could well
hold on to them until the end of
the war. 1t is pointed out
war bonds do double job . they
provide funds with which to carry
on the war and they aid in the pre-
yention of initiation . and from
a strictly selfish standpoint the
fellow with a pocket full of war
bonds is going to weather the post
war reconversion period which,
by an uglier name will be
known as a depression.
If HAD HAD
hand in designing man, a local
man said yesterday, l would have
given him one set of toenails and
as many sets of teeth as he need
ed. Why should it be that as often
as we lose toe nail another will
grow in its place, but in the mat
ter of the more important thing,
such as the teeth we are given but
one good set? Yeah, brother.
C. C. "CAP" NOLAN
who lived most of his life in Flor
ence and who was employed by the
Indian Irrigation Service in Cool
idge when he entered the army,
has sent us another batch of army
and civilian newspapers from Eng
land where he presently serves.
We always enjoy reading them and
they have been shared with many
others who drop into the office.
However, being entirely unfamiliar
with the British monetary system,
We find some difficulty in deter
mining the price quoted on adver-
tised articles. Apparently "quid"
is worth several dollars but we'd
always associated the word with
plug tobacco.
A LOT OF PLANS
Tor the postwar world are going
TO be made over when the boys
come back. We have no fear of
any changes the boys will make in
the scheme of things. We think
they will be able to think straight
and act directly. They will have
a patriotic concept that many who
have thought only of wages and
hours and time and a half don't
know anything about. We are
willing to takes chances with the
the country in their hands after
the war just the same as we have
felt safe with its defense in their
hands.
