Many people think that we will win the war as a matter o f course and forget the fact ,that it is possible for the United States to lose. It is time that everybody*"should realize that we are facing the greatest crisis in the history o f our country .and that in order to win we must have an all-out effort in time, money and every other way. The boys in $ 6 service are giving their lives, You are only asked to loan your money, which will be repaid with interest. Buy Bonds and Stamps today and keep on buying So that Tye*may keep our boys flying and theirs falling and that tomorrow will be one day nearer victory. Sincerely yours, F. L.
