WELL PAY YOU BACK
TOJO
if it takes our last dime !
but our trial and punishment of
Tojo and his criminals will cost
blood, sweat, toil and tears and
money. You can supply the
money by upping your war
bond buying through the pay-
roll savings plan. Figure it out
yourself and see where the
money is coming from. How
much does it cost you and you^
family to live each month? How
much money is coming in from
all members of your family?
Put the extra money into war
bonds, every penny of it. Let
10 per cent be only the starting
point for figuring your allot-
