it. or shall we in this supreme hour of
all civilization utterly fail to realize
the magnitude of our responsibility
and the call for sacrifice that we may
save and serve?
Let no one for a moment think that
this call does not come directly to him
or her. However great may be our
Iown difficulties, however much we may
have done in the past, or however great
the strain of the high cost of living,
there are few in the land who cannot
lat least contribute some little to help
save a life. 1t is said that ten cents
will keep one child in Europe in food
for a day, and that $35 year will
represent the saving Of one child for
full year How many millions and mil

Representative Borland was speaking
plain facts in the House when he said;
There is type of politician in
this country, apparently successful,
unfortunately, in insinuating him
self into office, who is always ready
to give the people at any great
crisis an unlimited supply of wind.
Do the people cry for national de-

demand strong financial system,
give them wind. Do they ask for
freedom of the seas, the protection
Of international law and the rights

chance to eXpend wind! Do they

safety and perpetuity of democrat

taxes to support the government
in its struggle, how much safer and
cheaper it is to expend only wind!
And now, when the people cry for

am glad to believe that Mr. Hoov-

wind merchant.
