Can yous say that you have earned your scarf? Our nation would like to be able to say, even before this campaign comes to a conclu- sion, that we subscribers of series E bonds will reach our quota. In- variably it is the corporations, not the individuals, who oversub- scribe their quota. All our fighting men are certainly contributing their bit to this world wide conflict, some even sacrificingtheir lives and limbs, but can it be said that each and every one of us is doing our share? Naturally most of us have bought bonds throughi e payroll deduction plans, but this is not enough. Bonds must be bought on the outside as well. Here is another point to remember. Every bond you buy, you should keep! Never cash in a bond unless it is ab- solutely necessary. When you invest your nwney in a war bond, you are not only help- ing to win the war, but you are helping yourself to have an amountcf money saved up which can be used after total victory is proclaimed.. The rate of interest which you earn is better than that which any bank offers at the present tinw. You can rest assured that your investment is a safe and sure one. I am confident that the citizens of the United States will invest in War Bonds to the fullest extent of our capacity. We will give our fighting men not only the needed implements of war, but the assurance and backing of a united people ---- to hasten the victory and speed the return of our fighting men. We will truly make this the mighty 7th. Carol Huntington A GREAT DAY FOR THE IRISH In this story, any similiarity to any person living or dead is purely his own fault. It was the 32nd day of May and in ammeuth Mulligan Stadium in Dublin, the Green Terrors were leading the Shamrocks 44-41 in one of the most thrilling baseball games of the season. Patrick O'Brien was having an exceptionally fine day pitching for the Grren Terrorsg he had been able to bean eleven of the Shamrocks. Houligan was also do- ing a great pitching job for the Shamrocks. He had had the honor of knocking out Mike lhloney, the Terrors' slugger, five times. As we pick up the game, it is going into the last of the ninth and the Shamrocks are trailing, 44-41. They have the bases loaded with two men out. COne of them a knockout., Crawling up to the plate is Philip O'Day. O'Brien winds up and the ball flys toward the plate. 99,994 people stand up and roar as O'Day swings and misses. O'Brien winds up again---O'Day gets set---the ball is coming up fast. O'Day lets it go by, two feet over his head and five feet out side. The Umpire cries, WStrike TWOIN After twenty-five minutes of fist fights, hitting each other over the head with bats, biting, kicking, etc., the game is continued. O'Day is mad and picks up his favorite bat which is eight feet long, has Q circumference of two feet, and weighs sixty- eight pounds, fourteen opnoes., O'Brien lets the ball go. All that can be seen is a white streak of lightning as the ball streaks toward the plate. There is a deafen- ingly loud crack and 99,902 C92 people having been carried out on stretchersl go into a termeil. Hats, p pers, beer bottles,:0h11dr9n, umpires---all fly into the air. O'Day has been hit on the head by the ball and it is sailing out toward left field! It continues to sail right over the left field wall for a 1,291 foot home run! With police, army and marine contingents for an escort O'Day staggers around the bases. ' As we leave the mammouth Mulligan Stadium, we think that we will stick to the veryngissified game of football. Floyd Riley

I real- ize, of course, that you all have more important things to do than to sit hero and listen to me make a speech, but I also realize that you all want to contribute your share, and most of you more than your share, to our wir effort. Of course each and every one of you knows by this time, that the 7th oar Loan drive is now in progress. It has been named the lighty 7th! The national quota is 9l4,000,000,000, with goals of 37,000,000,000 each for individuals and corporations . The publics NLN bond goal in Missachusetts is 3l40,000,000. Recently the great allied victory was proclaimed in Lurope. It cost vast sums of money each day to carry on the wer there. Before the final victory was won, our government hid to sponsor six war bond campaigns. New we are in the seventh. If everyone contributes just as much as they can to this one, perhaps it will take only one drive to conquer Remember that for each day and hour this war is prolonged, the wounded and dead service men rises. The sooner the war ends Pacific theater, the sooner our loved ones will return home to ful nation and world. ' . Listen to this story which took place in Holland.

Then the tank stopped andthe gun went into action, When the smoke cleared, they were rumbling down the street that led into the town. The street was gray and empty, but 100 yards ahead of them, blocking their path, was a strange bulking object, a German tank.
