THE BATTLE
of the
BONDS
THE sale of War Bonds is a battle that we
Americans are fighting right here at home.
It is a battle to raise war funds in a sound,
non-inflationary way. The tide of this battle
has ebbed and flowed. For months last sum
mer our side was losing—we missed national
goals again and again. Then, for a while, we
went on the offensive and passed monthly
goals. But the battle goes on, month after
month, and can’t end until the war ends. Keep
trying. Keep buying. Your purchases are more
important now than ever.

Notice To Merchants
And All Retailers
The price panel of the war price
and rationing board has organized |
a group of assistants of the panel
who will make personal contacts
between the retailers and the
price panel. These assistants are
volunteer workers who are do
nating their time and effort in at
tempting to do their bit in con
tributing to the war effort and I
am making this plea to you in
order to establish a friendly and
cordial feeling between them and
you.
Normally, the assistants will
call to give you the information
or to make certain surveys that
will be helpful to you in comply
ing with price regulations, and
gathering information from you
that will assist the OPA in max - |
ing future plans. The assistant's
role is not that of a policeman
He or she will go to you as one of
your neighbors to make a friendly
call and after this routine has j
been established I am sure you
will find the weekly visit an aid !
to you in your effort to co-operate ,
with price control rules. The as
sistants will not be an expert, but
will be glad to find the answers
for you. Every assistant will carry
an official identification card by
which you may* know him or her. I
The importance of the price
control cannot be overemphasized
as you will probably know, for it j
is the only means we have at hand ;
to curb competitive bidding for |
various commodities which would |
result in everyone paying more
for merchandise, labor, etc., and
we would have inflation travel
ing through its various vicious
cycles.
I hope you will welcome the
price panel assistant and that
friendly co-operative relations
may be established between your
store and the war price and ra
tioning board and may be a bene
fit to both your business and our
selves. Thanking you very much
for your support in this undertak
ing, and with all good wishes,
Yours very truly.

WHAT IS A COW?
Here in the cow country we
are supposed to know what a cow
is, says the Cow Country Courier,
published up at Valentine by Geo.
B. Gross, who further relates:
However, how many of us could
give a correct definition of the
animal which is responsible for
the general upkeep of this vast
area known as the Nebraska Sand
Hills? In order that none of our
readers will be embarrassed if
they are called on to give such a
definition, we reprint herewith
the definition given in the August
issue of the American Cattle Pro
ducer. Here is the way a writer
describes old bossy:
The cow is a female quadruped
with an alto voice and a counten
ance in which there is no guile.
She collaborates with the pump
in the production of a liquid, call
ed milk, provides the filler for
hash, and is at last skinned by
those she has benefitted, as most
mortals are.
The young cow is called a calf,
and before the war was used in
the manufacture of chicken salad.
The cow’s tail is mounted aft and
has a universal joint. It is used to
disturb maurading flies, and a
tassel at the end has a unique edu
cational value. Persons who miJk
cows and come in contact with
the tassel have vocabularies of

The cow has two stomachs. The
one on the ground floor is used
as a warehouse and has no other
function. When one is filled, the
cow retires to a quiet place where
her ill manners will occasion no
comment and devotes herself to
belching. The raw materials thus
conveyed for the second time to
the interior of her face, are pul
verized and delivered to the aux
iliary, where they are converted
into cow or milk. The cow has
no upper plate. All her teeth are
parked in the lower part of her
face. The arrangement was per
fected by a Department efficiency
expert to keep her from gumming
things up. As a result she bites
up and gums down.
A slice of cow is worth 12 cents
as cow, 20 cents in the hands of
the packer, has a ceiling price of
40 cents in a butcher shop, and
is worth $2.25 a plate in a res
taurant.
The male cow is called a bull,
and is lassoed along the Colorado,
fought south of the Rio Grande,
and shot in the vicinity of the
Potomac. The cow is also recog
nized as the foster mother of the
human race.

FOOD IS PART OF VICTORY
Here in the farm belt we are
fighting one of the big battles of
this war—the battle for food.
The planting is done. The grow
ing crops look good. The crisis will
come with the harvest. That is
where YOU can help.
Many farms are shorthanded.
Men from town will be needed to
get the crops in. When the call
comes—do your part. We must get
the food to our men at the front
and to our Allies right now when
it is so badly needed.
