BUY WAR BONDS and STAMPS 

UT THERE, somewhere, in the Solomon Islands, in 
Australia, in Africa, in India, in England, in Alaska, 
at Pearl Harbor, in tanks, in planes, and in ships— 
out there, somewhere, American men and boys are daily 
risking their lives, in the servce of their country. They are 
fighting, some of them are dying, because they believe in 
decency, and honor, and democracy; because they despise 
treachery, and tyranny, and evil. They have a tough job 
ahead and know it can not be done successfully unless they 
do their level best—unless they forget all about self. Their 
morale is high; their courage challenging. 
Every day we at home should think of them. It is our 
job, no matter where we are, to see to it that these fighting 
men get everything they need without one moment’s delay 
—planes, tanks, ships, guns, and bombs, bullets, and food— 
to use against the Axis. 
~ We must buy War Bonds and more War Bonds, but that 
is not enough. Bonds will provide money to build tanks, 
planes, ships, guns, and make bombs and bullets, but we at 
home must plant food producng trees and plants in order to 
provide our fighting men with the food they must have. 
There are millions of homes in cities, small towns, and 
even in the country that have back lots, vacant lots, and 
other small plots of ground that is not used at all, or that 
are inadequately used. Every foot of ground that will pro- 
_ duce food must produce food or we can lose this war. “Food 
will win the war and write the peace!”” Are you doing your 
part? 
May we suggest that you plant a tree in memory of 
someone in the armed forces of the nation. If you have a 
husband, son, brother, sweetheart, or friend that has been 
called to march to the great call of the nation, plant a tree 
as a memorial to him. When he returns it will make him 
happy to know that you remembered. Should fate decree 
that they shall not return, these trees would grow into beau- 
tiful memorials to comfort you in your great loss.
