Those of us who stay at home, do not face the peril of enemy action, and our grumbling over minor inconveniences is often a source for amazement for our men at the front. The only opportunity that a civilian has to help win the war is through the opportunity to asist in financing operations, These are of vital importance, both to the prosecution of the war and to the equil- ibrium of the economic front at home. The civilian investor is not asked to give away his money He is n- vited to make sn investment which will be safe and pay him interest. Every individual, man or woman, must determine the amount of bonds to be purchased. This is a problem to be solved only by the per- son affected. All that the Government asks of a loyal American is that he, or she, “Back the Attack” to the fullest extent possible, LOUISA’S LETTER Dear Louisa I love a man and he says he loves ime and wants me to marry him.
