Record War Bond Sales Is Goal Os Women At War Week Nov. 22 WASHINGTON, D. C.—America’s women in the cities and on the farms —in j war factories and in their homes—are determined to make Women At War Week the greatest War Bond selling effort since Pearl Harbor. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt sounded the keynote for the Treasury Department’s Women At War Week, Nov. 22 to 28, with an appeal to women to save on ‘‘little things” to provide money lor War Bonds. ‘‘We women want to , work hard, we want to be a part of this strenuous 1 mSBBBSSL period because unless we . .P^KBBBk are, we will not be able to ". |Hk j* "'wßl' face the men when they - fla jreturn mid claim our 1* •hare of the ' Sr .•ponsibility for building a JRp| BWre peaceful i■ i i.i Jjgjß K am BjwL ~ Lady declared B JM The overall dn n lion of Womc At W..i V.V •. i, !s I ;** , with the tt'mr.i r.’r Seel 101 l I B. of the Wat S.\ m.itr I under : h., „f Mia lie .

Mrs. Morgenthau. in a special message for Women At War Week, declared I that the spirit of America's pioneer women lives today more strongly than ever. “The average American woman began to rise to new heights on Sunday, Dec. 1, 1941,” Mrs. Morgenthau said. “This winter the average American woman will be spending less in order to save more to invest in War Bonds and Stamps. She will not. please God, ever have to fire a gun or fly a bomber. But she will, please God, always do everything she can to help buy anything—and the best of every thing—that fires or flies or floats in this terrible war.” j'’• >.

We know, °f course, that „ _ money is worth *'^ es nothing itself; Its only real value lies in what it will buy. But there is a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that we have at hand the means of buying what we need or desire. One of the very few good things resulting from the war is that many Americans, farmers espe cially, have better cash incomes than have been seen during recent years. Farm crop prices are rela tively high, and there is an imme diate cash market for nearly every thing the farm produces That naturally means more mon ey in the bank —more to save against the future “rainy day.” And being naturally thrifty peo ple, we all like to save something out of each year’s Income. Another benefit of war is that we j now have a new incentive to save, plus a new method of saving that supplies the element of absolute •e.curity —United States War Bonds •lid Stamps. NEED JIB PRINTING * ! CALL US ! < ' The dollar* we put Into this safest of all investments today become at once Double Duty Dollars. They help to pay for the cost of the war, for the guns and planes and ships and tanks, the food and clothing for soldiers and sailors. And they earn a very satisfactory rate of In terest, that will some day add to the spending power we are building up for the future. We must remember that only in the United Nations is there such an opportunity for free saving—free and voluntary investment. The dic tators take what they want wher ever they find it. Property rights mean nothing in their philosophy. One mighty good plan is to “ear mark'' the bonds we-buy, as ad vance payments on things we know we are going to want in the future.- Some of them might be spent for a new tractor when the present one is worn out. Some might cover the cost of a new home or a new barn. Some may be assigned to pay for j education for the younger children, , and some may be labeled as ad- j vance payments on comfort and ; peace for old age. Security! Here it is, wrapped in a package, with our favorite red, white and blue colors. When we loan money to Uncle Sam. we are really loaning it to ourselves— keeping it right in the family. Collateral for the loan is the Whole sum total of the immense re sources of America—the energies of the people, the land, the mines, the trees, the towns and the cities. Those are the things that give America its financial security, un matched by anything else in the World. When ycu buy Uncle Sam's war bonds and stamps, you are merely putting your own money in the other pocket, and getting paid a profit for doing it.
