JACOB THUS A Message to the People" During the month of April the United States asks you to lend $13,000,000,000 in a great Bond Drive. Everyone is included in this Drive. During one day alone the children of the McHenry Grade School bought $77.30 worth of stamps. The total amount for the year from October 1 is $1387.30. They are encouraged by filling out flags. A dollars worth of stamps buys a star. Five dollars worth buys a stripe. There will be one of these flags put up in every room. It's like a race to see which room can get their flag filled out first. Everyone is putting forth his greatest effort. If the McHenry school children can buy so generously, we are sure the parents of McHenry will respond in the same manner. ELEANOR SCHAEFER.
