 no poor class to call, People must have the things for
 comfort and for health. Every one must be happy and not
 limited to wealth. U. s. A. was founded to be the
 home of Progress. Where all people can have equal
 rights for success, With no need for poverty, in a
 land of plenty, Our country has everything, let
 goods laws make the entry. We have seen the horror of what
 bad men can do, With Germany and Japan turned
 into a pirate crew, We are losing the best of our men
 and boys, In a war of devils who would de-
 stroy all joys. Our Army and our Navy are away
 on sea and land, We do not seem to realize the
 cruelty of this band, As these murderers have made it.,
 in Europe and Japan, Let us awake and use our power
 to smash them as we can. Everyone must buy BONDS, If 1t

 We must spend it all for BONDS
