Dear Editor.
An intensified War Bond Sales
Campaign is being launched thru-
out the United States on Friday,
May 1st.
The people of America must more
than double their Investments In
War Bends and War Stamps.
To this end, the Treasury Depart-
ment is establishing a monthly quo-
ta for every county in the United
States.
Labor and management are being
called upon to see that at least ten
per cent of .every payroll goes into
Bonds and Stamps.
This is a gigantic task and and
must l>e supported by the coopera-
tion of all media.
We are seneing you, beginning
immediately, suggested material a-
bout the campaign.
Ycur assistance in the past has
been a great help and in order to a-
chieve our goal we must have your
continued ar.d vigorous support.
Sincerely,
—H. Morgenthau Jr.
Secretary of Treasurer.

Dear Folks:
We arrived here safe and sound.
SSveral fellows got a little seasick,
but I didn’t lose anything I had on
my “stcmich”, although I die get
pretty dizzy a time or two.
We are net allowed to reveal the
came of the ship we canie on, the
time of departure, or arrival, the
names of any of the personnel, nor
bow many guns the ship had, nor
the kind cf equipment it carried
nor how many ships were in the
convey. I can say it was a big ship
and find we’re dreaming.
We are in a beautiful place with
wonderful living conditions. I hepe
we get to stay here. We have a
Hammond organ and piano and ev-
erything else possible for conve-
nience. I hope we don’t wake up
and fin dwe’re creaming.
I get a fifth class specialist rat-
ing on the boat, and we were told
there was mere to come later.
Love,
Howard.

Mrs. W. R. Mahaffey of Premont.

Mr. and Mrs Knsllenger received
word from their son, John, that he
has left Houston where he enlisted
negligible, and this was true, and
made possible, by the generous aid
So wholeheartedly given by each of
you
May I not humbly for myself, and
pridefully for our county and our
country and our navy, express to
you something at least of the grati-
tude I feel to be due you?
With assurance cf my regards and
of my deep personal appreciation
of your loyal and unselfish help, I
am.

Have you any idea what it
cotts to get good legal help
and to pay court costs includ-
ing appeals to fight an auto-
mobile accident liability claim
for bodily injuries?
You wouldn’t drive without

you a lot more harm with a

ran if you get arrested for not
having license plates.

No Substitutes
For Jobs
In the eight principal cotton-growing states ot the
Southeast the average amount of tillable land per per-
son on farms is seven acres. In the corn state of Illinois
It Is 25 acres; in the com, wheat, and livestock state of
Kansas 45 acres. Though largely without the aid of
capital equipment, cotton nevertheless supports three
times as many persons per acre as any of the nation’s
other major crops grown on field scale.
This Is one very good reason why there can be no sa-
tisfactory substitute for cotton In our Individual every-
day purchases As consumers granted by American
democracy the free choice of how to spend our dollars,
we have the democratic opportunity to buy the pro-
duct which provides nearly three million American
Jobs. Picking cotton In our own personal purchase# is
our best defense against fifth column Invasion of sub-
stitute materials.

Our American banking system is of^ri
referred to as a “dual system" because
it is composed both of Federal-chartered
and state-chartered banks. The state and
national systems are under sepa-'aft
controls, but each is operated for the
best interests of the public. This prin-
ciple of optional charter is in keeping
with the American traditions of free en-
terprise. Our bank favors this dual
system because of the friendly compe-
‘ition it promotes in the cause of beiter
bank management, c*d because it tends
to prevent the centralirirg of ber g
control ai any one c. ! power.'ul
