Johnson of this city have received word from the war department that their son, Pfc. Harry) D. Johnson, was slight- ly wounded in action in France on November 15. Word has since been received from Harry from a base hospital somewhere in England that he happened to be too close to a German, shell when it ew- ploded, and he got a ".- *i of shrap- nel in his leg. He s.t!:, further, however, that the slhrapn'el has been removed and that he is Im- proving nicely. Johnson, a mortarman wibh an armored division, entered France on the heels of the invasion In June and saw plenty of action up to the time, of being wounded. His brother, James, is also in action in Belgium, and another brother, Paul, is somewhere in Italy with the Air Force. Harry was employed in the ma, chine shop of the St. -,Joe Lumber & Export Company prior to enter- ing the service, and his friends here are glad to know that his wounds are not serious.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains, Our Country Right or Wrong KEEP ON BUYING 'EM Chairman L. P. Sutton, head of the War Bond drive in Port St. Joe, told us yesterday that the sale of E Bonds here was lagging sadly and it looked like we would not make our quota. We remarked that it looked like the people here didn't seem to realize that they were not giving their money, but only loaning it and buying a share in America. All of which reminded us of this story: Years ago an American, an Englishman and a German, visiting an Oriental country, were granted an audience by the local poten- tate. Addressing the Englishman, he said: "1 understand that you are a subject of the king of England." The Englishman bowed and re- plied: "Yes, your highness, and I am very proud of it." Turning to the German, he said: "And you are a subject of the kaiser?" Clicking his heels and bowing stiffly, the German replied: "Yes, your highness, and very proud!"' Adressing the American, the potentate said: "And you are a subject of the United States of Americah?" Whereupon the American ex- claimed: "Subject, hell! I own part of the United States of America." And our moral is this: If we don't win this \var-which we won't unless we all buy war bonds to the limit of our ability-we will nz longer own a part of the United States of America, we'll be working for the Germans and the Japs. Our guess is that when the boys come home and gather together to tell of the things they helped to do to win the war, the worker who remained at home in security and worked fo- good wages while living with his family and friends, is not going to be bragging much about how he struck in this and that plant and held up production on vitally needed war ma- terial because some member of his craft wa3 fired because of loafing on the 'job.
