THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
ARE STILL IN JAP PRISONS
DEMBMBER CORREGIDOR? Remember
**■ the pictures of grinning Japanese
soldiers guarding American prisoners?
We’re out to wipe the grins off their
faces. We’re out to liberate thousands of
American soldiers and civilians still in
Jap prisons. That day can come only
with final victory.
*We’re out to finish the job the Japs
started. The fitli War Loan Drivers part
of the great national effort to win quick
victory in the Pacific. The cost of vic-
tory comes high. It costs billions of dol-
lars a month to fight Japan! But we
know you’ll do your full share, as you
have in all the other war loan drives.
Your full share is at least one extra $100
War Bond. Buy more if you possibly
can. War Ronds arc your best insurance
of a safe, independent future,

Armour’s Old Black Joe is back . . . and with
greater growing power, too!
For the past two years Old Black Joe has
been off the market because of the raw materials
situation. Now this popular fertilizer is avail-
able in an improved 5-10-5 analysis: the popular
1-2-1 ratio recommended by so many Texas Agri-
cultural Authorities.
Except for the improved analysis, Old Black
Joe is the same good, old-fashioned fertilizer it
has always been: a fertilizer that will help you
make every acre do its best.
To be sure of having your supply when
needed, we urge you to place your order for Old
Black Joe early . . . and accept delivery when
the fertilizer is ready for shipment.
See your local Armour Agent soon.

87 times straight - I've been lucky,!
87 time* I've gone out — and come
back.
When your score gets that high,
they usually let you quit for a while.
But sometimes that isn’t possible.
You just have to keep on going—
perhaps till your number is up.
Out here, you get to understand
those things. There’s no question of
quitting—no matter how much you’ve
done.
Back home, it’s the same way
about buying War Bonds. You feel
good when you count up and realize
what a high score you’ve got. You
feel you deserve a rest, too.
But the war isn’t over yet. And
until it is, i’ll make a bargain with
you: You keep on buying, and I’ll
keepon fighting till the last Jap drops 1
The 6th War Loan is on. And it’s
every American’s duty to invest in
at least one extra JilOU War Bond. If
you haven’t bought yours yet, do it
today!
Buy at least one extra 900 War Bond Today!
