combination of the blue and the gray al
every opportunity.

! foster the spirit Of comradeship.
| (c) Make your camp dues as low as
/ YOU can, raise funds in other ways.
(d) Button, button. what goes on a
buttono Spread the gospel Of our price
less button The richest man cannot puy
or wear it but you have the right ano
privilege. Bear Rockefeller to It,
(e) Get into the game. Keep In toucn
with the live ones. Bury the dead.
(D Three good wacthwords; patriot
ism. citizenship, charity. Read 'em back
wards.
(g) Our Department has taken on
new lease of life. The officers are under
bonds. You are under obligations TO se'
busy and help.
III, Help, heln Push, shove. holler
Fall in line. Don't knock. If you don
like your officers, hide your time. year
