.HARRY D. JOHNSON IS
WOUNDED IN ACTION
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. 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.

Rhoda and Howard Stillman, Lo-
lita Winthrop and Armand Duvall
supply the romantic angle as well
as quite a bit of confusion with
secret marriages. J. J. J., Pokey
and Governor Winthrop, the be-
fuddled parents, certainly keep
their children, along with Mr. ana
Mrs. Abbot, who are! the proprle-
tors of Tiptoe Inn', wondering what
will happen next. And the play
wouldn't 'be the same without Miss
Hodson and her old-maidish ideas!
The cast of characters follows.

......... ..... Frances, Rhames
Howard Stillman, Jr., the young
bridegroom .... Wayne, Taunton
Lolita Winthrop, the governor's
daughter ....... Mary David'son
Armand Duvall, a stage star....
.................. Donald Linton
Mrs. Abbot, owner of Tiptoe Inn
........ Billie Jeanne Campbell
Mrs. Howard Stillman, Rhoda's
mother-in-law .. Wanda Spencer
Henrietta Hodson, oft the. Hodson
Girls' School'.... Teresa Edwards
Olivia.,a maid with hypnotic am-
bition's ........... Betty Waller
Governor Winthrop, a widower..
.. Carl Guilford
Aaron Hicks, handyman with de-
tective ambition's.. .Gale Traxler
John Jacob Johnson (J.3J.J.), a
utilities magnate .... .Jack Mahon

"Sad little personal belongings

you. These ,"souvenirs" are en-
veloped with heartaches and
drenched with tears.
How long this tragic depot
stays in business is up to you.
Every second prolongs the
slaughter. Every extra $100 War
Bond in the Sixth War Loan
helps to shorten the fighting. Can
you do less than to lend your
money for speedy victory?

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. Punta

The Florida National Group Invests


Another $5,000,000 In Florida Bonds


With the purchase' of anadditional
$5,680,000 worth of Florida municipal
bonds, the Florida National Groups'
investment in Florida bonds now totals
$25,180,000-a figure that emphatically
'demonstrates our faith and confidence
in the great future of Florida and its
political subdivisions.
It is true that we have purchased
all of these bonds because they were
good investments. But there were many
other good investments we might have
selected instead. The reason we chose
Florida bonds was simply because this
particular investment helps to build
our state and its rapidly-growing
communities. "'

finds its way into channels of trade
(and probably some of it finally reaches
your hands) because the money is used
to finance civic improvements, ranging
from new highways to new sewer sys"
teams. It is spent for materials and
labor and all of the multitude of other
things that are required for public pro.
jects of permanent worth.
Banks of the Florida National Group
are exceedingly proud of their portfolio
of Florida bonds because it gives
undeniable evidence of our sincere
interest not only in the communities
we serve but also in the progress of
our state as a whole. We count it a'
privilege as well as a duty to speed the
development of all of Florida's mag-
nificent possibilities.
