There's nothing to it...
All you have to do is take one of those
$100 War Bonds for which you recently
paid $75... go to your bank and say...
"1 want to turn this in."
The bank takes your $100 War Bond-
gives you $75.
And you lose $25—just like that! i
Isn't that an easy way to drop $25?
And isn't it a foolish way?
Most people think so! That's one reason
why they're holding on to their War
Bonds.
They don't know any easier way to
make $25. f
Do you?

NAVY'S KILLED IN ACTION
MORE THAN FIVE TIMES
TOTAL OF NAVAL LOSSES
IN ALL PREVIOUS WARS
More than five times as many
Navy men have been killed in ac-
tion during the present war as in
all previous wars of the United
States combined.
Statistics from the Office of
Naval records and library in the
Navy department show that total
Naval losses in all wars involving
the United States from the Ameri-
can Revolution through World War
I amounted to about 4,232 killed in
action. In World War II, 22,481
men of the Navy alone, excluding
the Coast Guard and Marine Corps,
have been killed in action, the Navy
casualty report of February 12 re-
veals.
Approximately 1,356 men were
killed in action in all early Naval
battles and later minor engage-
ments of the United States includ-
ing the Revolutionary War, the
War of 1812, the Mexican War,
the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, and
the Battle of Vera Cruz in 1914.
During the United States Civil
War, deaths in Naval battles
reached a total of 2,177. Eighteen
Navy men died in action during the
Spanish-American War, with 259
lost on the USS Maine preceding
the war.
Only 422 Navy officers and men
were killed in action during World
War I.

GULF SERVICE STATION
No doubt, we have been too wasteful with our food supplies the last few months.
We had been told by a host of bureaucrats that an abundance of food was available
and most of us "pitched in" and were almost back to prewar eating—now that we
know the planned food program has resulted in limited supplies on the fighting line
—even rationing of food being in effect on some fronts—the American people will
not only accept fair play rationing, but will make it work so that the service men will
get additional food.
To do this, every kitchen must be placed on wartime basis—this covers not only watch-
ful purchasing and preparation of food, but also thg^fxtremely important saving
of fats.
When everything is going along fine, many people easily forget their wartime pro-
grams, but in the production and delivery of electricity a permanent fight against
waste is a necessity—with taxes mounting as in other businesses, and sometimes more
in ours—continued maintenance of low electric rates necessitates the watchfulness of
everyone in our organization for economy possibilities—we are holding our lines
and our customers in the ample use of electrical energy are fully cognizant that our
war effort will not suffer as the result.
