All good loyal Americans will
do their part and what has been
your contribution?
Buy Bonds now and buy them
freely and when you buy bonds
you lend your money to Uncle
Sam—he pays you good interest
on your investment, and if you
should have reverses and It be-
came necessary you can cash your
bonds within 60 days from date
of purchase.
Not every good American can
enter our armed forces and do
combat duty. Some are above the
age limit, others not physically
fit. But every person with an in-
come can buy stamps and bonds,
and help win this war.
Wednesday, July 1 is designated
as a day for the sale of bonds.
Every business house in the town
will suspend business for 15 min-
utes; from 12:00 to 12:16 o’clock
to promote the sale of bonds.
RECIPES FOR SUGAR
COFFEE SUBSTITUTES
CONCOCTED IN 1845
Austin, Texas, June 14.—Neces
sity for food substitutes long be
fore this war, research into files
of early Texas newspapers shows.
Recipes for artificial sugar and
for a coffee substitute were found
by Corinne Wilson of Teague
member of a University of Texa*
English class studying literature
and folklore of Texas and the
Souuthwest.
Aritficial sugar was a concoc-
tion of brown sugar, water, honej
•OVAAOI of luptar RBlL rrhadca of
roses, all boiled together in t
brass kettle. Egg whites and more
honey were added after the mix
ture cooked; while the epicure
might call for a little slippery
elm bark added to the honey.
The coffee substitute recom-
mended by the National Regis
ter of Dec. 27, 1846, is a mixture
of okra seeds with real coffee—
“the okra cannot be distinguished
from the coffee, even the
Java.”

Young Life Campaign
Revival Having
Large Attendance
Teague ha* never seen anything
like this; never before have all
the churches been united as one.
Every church in town is behind
the revival 100 per cent, and the
businessmen of Teague have
realized that this is a wonderful
movement and they have helped
splendidly.
The wonderful thing about it is
the enthusiasm among the young
people as well as the adults,
which all goes to prove that unity
is strength. It is getting the job
done.
The young people of Teague are
certainly showing up the adults
(with all respectB to our elders)
If you haven't attended the
tent yet, by all means do. Jim
Rayburn and the rest of the cam
paigners are wonderful folks to
know. Come and get acquainted.
We aren’t very formal around
the tent. We call each other by
our first names.
We are all having a
experience with Jesus Christ.
Incendiary Materials
To Be Demonstrated
For Civilian Defense
Chief Frank Williams, field
representative of Texas A. A M.
College, will be in Teague on the
evening of Wednesday, July 1, and
will give a demonstration in the
city hall of incendiary materials.
While the program will b« for
the benefit of the general public,
all of whom are invited, it is
Civilian Defense in effort, and all
Air Raid Wardens and other Civil-
ian Defense workers tare espec-
ially urged to be present. It is
essentially ~a Firemen’s Training
School, but in these war days,
when we at least remotely expect
air raids, it behooves every citi-
zen to avail himself of this excel-
lent opportunity to learn what to
do in case of an air raid or other
emergency.
Fire Departments of nearby
towns are also invited to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity.

ENLIST IN U. S. NAVY
Red Blooded Americans, if you
are doing no particular good
where you are, toward winning the
war, volunteer your services to
the Navy and help Avenge Pearl
Harbor.
Many of your Friends, Neigh-
bors, and fellow countrymen who
are now serving in the Navy
need your help.
They cannot and should not
have to do the job alone . .
Join them now so that they will
have a better chance to win.
This war will be no picnic for
the United Nations . . . . Let
us not allow it to be a picnic for
the Axis Nations.
It is all very well to proclaim,
“Remember the Main’’ “Remember
the Alamo” or “Remember Pearl
Harbor,” but tihose are things of
the past, and we need to remem
ber something of the living pre-
sent, "The American Way Of
Life,” and do something about it
now to preserve that way of life
Let us do away with suen worn
phrases as, “I have not yet begun
to fight” or “Fire when you see
the whites of their eyes.” Hie
Japs and the Hun have no white
in their eye.
Let us leap to the fray, a hun-
dred and thirty million Btrong.
And when the enemy see us com-
ing in overwhelming force they
will cave-in, because they can’t
take it; and they will not have
their country devasted as they
have devastated other lands. You
cannot hold back and think of
yourself as long as your help is
needed.
Anyone between the ages of 17
and 50 can serve Bomehow or
somewhere to win this war.
We musk win or lose our
American way of life. Your sal-
ary to start will be $60.00 to
$160.60 per month.
FIRE DESTROYS YORK
HOME WEDNESDAY
*^Fire discovered Suddenly In the
attic at 2:30 o’clock last Wednes-
day afternoon rendered some fifty
per cent damage to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. York before
the firemen could get the flames
extinguished, cpnsiderable of the
damage however being from water
and efforts to put out the fire.
Hie damage included the build-
ing and the furniture, which was
particially covered by insurance.
It is understood the building
will be rebuilt
Fire, one of the most destruc-
tive of all destroying eler
comes without warning, and offers
no- opportunity for defense’ before
it strikes. Best protection is good County.
Fire Insurance, and £. B. St
Clair’s is a goo8 place to get it?
In Sure Insurance with
Clair today.
The biggest day in Teaguo
since the Japs ruthlessly attacked
Pearl Harbor without warning
will be staged in Teague by the
entire community and surround-
ing territory participating on
Wednesday, July i.
Chairman Bendy, Vice Chair-
man Notley and the other mem-
bers of the special War Bond Com-
mittee have arranged a gala event
for the people of the section to
be concluded with the suspension
of business at 12:00 to 12:15
o’clock when nothing Will be sold
but War Bonds and Stamps, with
emphasis on the Bonds. The fea-
ture is really staged as a retail
merchants special event for the
sale of War securities.
The big parade will be stages,
on the principal streets down
town and will culminate with
short patriotic Bond talks by
Wm. J. Stringer, N. W. Bendy,
L. Notley and Jno. F. Wallace
just prior to the home stretch in
the sale of Bonds and Stamps.
The assigned quota of Freestone
County is $45,000.00 for July, and
$20,000 for Teague, the largest
quotas yet assigned. The utmost
effort of every citizen in this
section of the county, and espe-
cially in the Teague trade terri-
tory, will .be required to put this
quota over. This community has
never yet failed to put over .
whatever it has undertaken, and
it is believed our people will make
no exception of this War Bond
quota.
Those not able to pay $18.75
for $25.00 Bond, the smallest in
denomination that can be bought
may be aB many War Stamps as
they can at one time and add to
this before the end of July
enough to buy a bond.
There is another thing not
generally understood by the public:
War Stamps are noly a means to
nn end, affording an opportunity
for those who cannot buy an
$18.76 (purchase price) Bond at
one time to buy a few stamps as
they can and trade these for a
Bond or Bonds. A partially filled
book of Stamps can be presented
to the Post Office or either of the
local banks with difference in cash
for a Bond or whatever denomi-
nation the purchaser desires.
During the sale, it is probable
the Workers and committees will
take applications and the cash or
check, and have^he bond isaued to
the purchaser later. There are
complications entering into the Is-
suance of an E series Bond, the
kind most popular And tome time
involved, and it will be better for
all concerned if purchasers will fill
in the application, and turn it in
to the committees with the cash
or check and have the Bond is-
sued later, since these can be is-
sued only at the banks and the
post office.
Fire Chief P. T. Wetherholt will
be in charge of the arrangement
of the big parade on the down
town streets, and tentatively the
following will be the order:
1. State police and £hicf H. W.
Owens heading tne parade.
2. The Bond and Stamp car with
Mrs. Pearl Perry and Miss Jewell
Monroe.
8. The Teague High School
