POLK COUNTY EXCEEDS
BOND QUOTA
The Secretary of the Treasury
asked Polk County citizens to loan
the government $28,700 to help
win the war. The people responded
by purchasing $35,654.25 worth
of War) Bonds and Stamps during
the month of July. The govern
ment. will pay interest on this
money and when the bonds become
due they will be worth $11,000
more than they are now, about
$46,000. That is the easy way
to help win the war. Uncle Sam
is now asking the county citizens
to buy $18,000 worth of bonds
during the month of August.
1 What will be our response? It
gives all of us a chance to have
a part in the war and at the
same time save money at interest
that we will need after the war.
