. TO THE BOYS OF AMERICA
My boy, this greatest Of all lands was
the first to proclaim that any man
might lead the nation. Young man,
if this does not mean a great deal to
you, it should. Does any other cOUn-
try give such a stimulating promise
to its boys. It means, my boy, that
all our political and social evils exist
because we have not the right sort
of leaders.
Now is the time to show your lead
ership. The country needs large
numbers of strong leaders. Jump
into line and show what you can do.
Because there is political interior
ence in our army, do not falter.
Where you meet encouragement,
make that a cause for greater deter
minatiOn. Our fathers, who once
fought for US, will see that Uncle
Sam cleans his slate and places real
men at the head Of our departments.
They will see that you get a square
deal, which'is all any man asks.
We must aid the infant republic Of
Russia. We must show Germany
that she must throw off her One-man
power government. Such a form of
government is disgusting. My boy,
in taking your part now and by TAX
ing it Immediately, you are doing
your mite in the greatest movement
for a just cause that it has ever
pleased God to place on this earth.
You are reaching out your hand to
aid in the cause of the destruction Of
Prussianism, the greatest of all dis
graces on earth.
When with Gods help this great
task is performed, a great union of
republics will be formed and through
united effort war viii be forever bans

The Junior Red Cross has ordered
through the local chapter three bolts
OF bright colored creton. The mate
rial will be used in making small bags.
These bags are sent by the Red Cross
20 the hospitals where they are given
the wounded men for receptacle in
which they may place their little per-
sonal possessions. such as letters re-
ceiyed which they may wish to keep.
pocket pieces or souvenirs Of battles

Nearly every man has few OF these
small trinkets - invaluable to them
selves which they guard jealousy. Nat.
urally these cannot be carried about
the person during illness; clothing
must be sent away for repair and fumi-
cation, and there is always an anxiety
on the part OF the patient over the
small objects which he prizes SO high
~ To meet this demand these small,
gay bags are fashioned. They hang
on the head OF the cots and every man
can place therein his valued treasures
and have them accessible at any time.
