...both for you and for your Country.
War Bonds are your safest, and smart-
est, investment. In ten years, they’ll
bring you back four dollars for every
three you put in. And that money will
mean purchasing power...for you. It’ll
mean jobs and a healthier economy in
America.
So buy more Bonds than you’ve been
buying. Buy more than you think you

crop I’m going,” and no one would
blame him. Does not the Bible say
that man should cleave to his wife,
and they should be one. Then how
could one half be in one place and
the other half in another place? Of
course it is O. K. for him to feel as
he does.
Mr. H. N. Smith, R. N. Jensen, Mr.
Walker and their families, Pvt. M.
H. Jensen and his wife and the writ-
er all took a trip to San Antonio
and had a picnic at the park and visit-
ed all the animals and saw the sea-
lions and elephants perform. How
wonderful that such, seemingly,
dumb brutes can be taught to do so
many interesting things. And the
thought man can tame almost, yes,
every one of those dumb brutes and
yet cannot tame or conquer his fel-
lowman, who is supposed to have at
least some capacity for learning al-
ready. And as I saw how even the
monkeys had learned to stop their
performance when the sealions and
elephants started theirs, those chimp-
anzees just sat there and would not
jump and act up while the elephants
performed, I thought of an article
I read in one of our church papers,
by one of our missionaries in Africa
—“When the Monkeys Went to
Church.” He said that one night at
their tent he heard a great commo-
tion outside so he thought the boys
in town had come to make disturb-
ance, so he went outside to see what
he could do. And as he saw tree full
of monkeys he went back in and
when all the folks were, seated, here
came the whole bunch of monkeys,
walking in as nicely as could be tak-
ing the very front seats, and were so
still that a pin could have been heard
drop, even bowed their heads at
prayer. And were as attentive as
the rest of the people, and when one
little baby monkey reached over to
pull another little one’s tail he re-
ceived a slap on his head that he real-
ly felt and did not do it again. When
the last song was sung, they all left
the same quiet way, and escaped to
the woods so quick that no one saw a
sign of them when they came out.
I was telling this to my grandson
stay with R. N. Jensen no longer. He
had promised to stay until November
and he is leaving the first of
next week. He says, “crop or not

’ the other night and when I was
through he said—“Were these mon-
keys Seventh Day Adventist mon-
keys?” I said, “Well I don’t know,
■ but it could be that God sent them
in there to show Seventh Day Advent-
ists how to behave in the house of
God.” Anyway they knew how.
And just to think how long and
how desperate and how many lives
have been sacrificed and at what
cost to tame, we could say, “a few
brutes all these years and have not
conquered or taught them a lick of
sence yet. How dreadful! It takes
God to teach man. It is like some-
one said not long ago, “It will take
a change of heart in people to bring
peace to this world.”
Pvt. M. H. Jensen sold his new
furniture and bought him an automo-
bile and left for his training camp at
Ft. Riley, Kansas, last Wednesday,
his wife going with him. His mother
went with them as far as Dallas
where her husband will pick her up
and bring her back home. He is not
going to be separated from his half
long. He tried that some time ago
and he had the same feeling as Mr.
Wise, two halves must equal one in
their case.
There are a lot of folks that are
surmising that F. D. and some of his
“big shots” are trying to stand on
that big bell rope and pull the whistle
as long as possible. Quite a tempta-
tion all right. Well if some of the
main officers in Austin would have
such great faith in Mr. Tom Miller
that they would all power over Aus-
tin as long as his 1942 model auto
would last, but he wouldn’t be per-
mitted to ride, use or put in any new
parts in it, don’t you know he would
use all the skill and be as careful as
he could to make his old jitney run?
But I believe if the “common” folks
in Austin saw. that he was putting
Austin in the hole and fixing him-
self up rather pat, and just standing,
I should have said, (walking) to make
his old lizzy last at least till he got
himself all fixed up, as I said I be-
lieve some folks would have enough
sence to accidentally (on purpose)
scheme some way to wreck his lizzy,
even tho some one would get hurt.
O, no, not killed, well “feelings”
hurt then. See?

You don’t do it with hay, brother!
It costs 86,000 good hard American
dollars to lay a smoke screen on a 20-
mile beachhead for a single hour.
Worth it?

beach without being spotted by the
enemy?
