Are you peeved when a war bond
salesman asks you to buy a bond in
this Third War Loan Drive? If so, it
might help you to meet these sales-
men in a better frame of mind if you
were to swap places with some of the
boys in Italy or the Southwest Pacific
just once. For instance, to let one
down by parachute back of the enemy
lines in either of these unfamiliar
areas might cause any home-front
griper to see the situation in a new
light.

Congress reconvened Tuesday aft-
er a summer recess and takes up its
labors confronted by many knotty
problems, one of which, the drafting
•of dads, it seems must be taken up
with but little delay. Indications are
that this matter will bring on a hot
fight.
Let Us Lubricate Your
Front
Wheels
One of the most neglected parts
of the modern automobile is the
front wheel hearing. We are
equipped with a machine which
does a thorough job of repack-
ing front wheel bearings, and
we suggest that you let us ser-
vice this important lubrication
point on your car soon. Don't
neglect it until new bearings
are needed.

As you watch the mercury in the
war bond thermometer, think of the
death struggles our men are in right
now at Salerno and push that mer-
cury column as much higher as you
can.

Are you required to make an in-
come estimate return? If so, did you
get it in the mail by Wednesday? If
you didn’t, the internal revenue col-
lector will be notifying you that fail-
ure to do so makes it his duty to pen-
alize you.

Though the outlook for a fall gar-
den is not as promising as it might
be, quite a number of persons are
planting seeds. This is a time when
we should avail ourselves of every
opportunity to add what we can to
the year’s food supply.

There are a few farmers who have
cotton that has been ready to pick for
some days but say no pickers could
be had and the cotton remains in the
field. War, directly and indirectly, has
taken so many men, some in the
armed services and others as work-
ers in war plants, that the number
remaining at home is greatly reduced.

The hard fighting in Italy this week
brings anxiety to those parents who
have a son in that area, and in a less-
er degree to those whose friends and
neighbors fight there. They will live
in constant fear that they may re-
ceive a “missing in action’’ message
from the War Department. No war
has brought more widespread sorrow
to the people of the world than this,
and the end it not yet.

Do not wait for the committee
members to see you about lending
Uncle Sam some of your money. Hunt
one of them up and invest as liberal-
ly as you can. Anyone who can aid in
this way and refuses to do it is not
doing as much as he should do for
the boys who are right now standing
between him and his country and
home to ward off the enemy. If the
war is lost by failure to lend our
money to Uncle Sam, a slave’s life is
all that is left for us. We can not pay
too much for liberty.
