not been an issue of the paper
hat has not carried one or
more ads. for him, and it has
hpen a pleasure to note the ser-
vice he is giving and to ob-
serve the steady growth of his
business until we have a drug
store equal to the best in the
iirirer towns. Mr. Woods has
made us happy a number of
times by citing instances where
the advertising was paying off
the latest being a letter from a
West Texas town saying: “En-
closed you will find 73c for
which please send me one home
permanent as advertised in
The Recorder. The extra money
is for postage.” Wirst also
warns us that the F. B. I. is
going to get us^
This reminds us of another
late citizen of Fairfield who
has fitted perfectly with the
city, and who has developed a
good business that is steadily
growing, C. C. Linnenberg. He
has been a constant advertiser
ever since the first week he be-
gan operating the Magnolia
station, and he has never lain
down on any progressive move-
ment for the betterment of the
city, its school and the various
phases of business and civic
life.

Bro. I. M. Payne of the Buf-
falo Press sent us a “yelp for
help” Thursday afternoon, his
press being out of order and he
couldn’t print the paper. Not
having done our daily good
deed, we took our linotyper and
went down to see if we could
relieve him of his distress.
While Bro. Payne is a retired
preacher, we found he had been
beating the press with a ham-
mer, and resenting such treat-
ment, the press sulked and
balked, and refused to perform
its usual duty. After consider-
able sweat and persuasion, we
finally ran The Press through
the press, and everybody was
happy.

The securities on salo lit your purse. Check the one which ia nppUeablo to yon and buy tt to the point
of personal temporary sacrifice. Always keep in mind your sacrifice is only temporary because yon do
not give your money away when you "buy” War Bonds; yon lend your money at interoat. Tour money
h not even froaen. In the event of an emergency—and the record shows that Americans are not redeem-
ing their Bonds except in the event of true emergencies—your Bonds are redeemable.
The United States Government has never In its history repudiated a Government Bond. As further
evidence of the strength of this country to guarantee repayment of your money, United States potential
wealth amounts to $89,000 per capita. Even with the heavy current war expenses, our national debt ia
only $1100 per capita.
Only a country Uko ours could make sueh a deal with its eitisens: repay you with interest (or n loan
of your money to protect you and yonr family against enemies which would murder, rob, or enslave yon.
The number one "buy” (or yon is the familiar Series E War Bond. Twenty-seven million American
workers are buying Series E Bonds at the rate of 8480,000,000 a month. Yonr Third War Loan duty is to
buy at least one extra 8100 Series E Bond above your regular buying. Buy more if you ean.
Keep these facts in mind about the Series E Bonds:
They come in 825, 850, 8100, 8500 and 81,000 denominations. They sell for 75 per cent of their maturity
value. They pay yon 81 for every 83 invested if held until maturity, which is 10 years from issuing date.
You may redeem them at any time 60 days after issue without notice at stated redemption valnos. Every
Bond carries this redemption table.

WASHINGTON, D. C., September 9.—America’s Third Army
marched forth today to capture the most important immediate
objective on the home front.
As 2,000,000 volunteers swung into line to put over the Third
War Loan campaign, they were met with helping hands from
millions of workers in the home front production battle, and
cheers of encouragement from men on the fighting fronts—to-
whom the success of the Third War Loan is literally a matter of
life and death.

The result will be that only the

tember, beginning today. Mr. Parkei
stated that Freestone County’s quota
was 8486,000, and estimated that it
was an average of one bond to each
person living in Freestone County.
He stressed the importance of buy-
ing bonds and urged everyone to
take part in our present bond drive,
as Freestone County’s quota is much
higher than the previous one. Plans
are being formulated for carrying
on the drive. A committee on adver-
tising was appointed, consisting of
W. D. Herring, A. E. Stroud and F.
B. Peyton.

Freestone Quota
Third Bond Drive
Set At $435,000
With the invasion of Europe
already under way, bond money
today means more than ever in
terms of actual attack and de-
struction of the enemy.
Attack means bombers and:
blockbusters, as well as inva-j
sion craft, fighter planes,
tanks, gliders and jeeps will be I
needed in increasing numbers'
to continue carrying the fight
to Berlin, Tokio and their satel
lites.
Freestone County’s quota in
the Third Victory Loan, $434,-
000, will buy two heavy bomb:
ers, one dive bomber and eight
blockbusters.
The Drive opens September
9, and is to continue through
September or until the quota is
raised, according to Noel Hol-
lingsworth, chairman for the
county.
W. A. Parker, local business
man, will serve as chairman for
Fairfield in the drive.
Bonds”—every American who can
do so will be asked to buy at least
an extra $100 War Bond. The quota
for those who are able to invest
more from income or accumulated
funds will be much higher.
Speaking of the great drive to
raise $15 billion—a major portion
to come from individuals—Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., said:
“The United Nations are on the
march. The first rumblings of the
big offensive are being heard in all
the Axis nations. Thousands of our
men have stormed Sicily. Tons upon
tons of bombs are dropping on Ger-
many. We are attacking Jap-held
territory as never before. This is
a great day for us. But it means
tha the time has come for us to
really tighten our belts here on the
home front. We have come to a
most crucial period in the war, and
the success that we will have on
the fighting fronts, will depend to a
considerable extent upon tne degree
to which we here at home are will-
ing to work and sacrifice for ulti-
mate victory.
“It’s going to be a costly victory.
We have said that before, but we
must repeat it again and again. The
real war has only now begun. Bil-
lions of dollars more must be spent
to keep the material of war going to
our men at the front. Your Gov-
ernment must call upon you, the
American people, for that money.
"RememberI It is up to all of us
here at home to ‘Back the Attack’
—and to do it more enthusiastically,
more thoroughly and with greater
sacrifice than any attack has ever
been backed by any home front in
all history. Everything is at stake.
Everyone must help to the very lim-
it of his ability.” '
The drive, continuing throughout
September, will offer to investors
in addition to Series E, F and G
United States Savings Bonds the
following securities: Treasury Sav-
ings Notes, Scries C; 2Me percent
Treasury Bonds of 1964-69; 2 percent
Treasury Bonds of 1951-53; % per-
cent Certificates of Indebtedness.
