WECAN ALL HELP WIN THE
WAR BY DOING OUR PART

The war cannot and will not affect
business unfavorably if we do not
close our heads" without cause. A
moments thought will show this con-
clusively.
The government purposes raising
an army of at least one million men.
They will be chosen by selective draft
between the ages of 81 and 80 inclu-
sively, married men and farm labor
ers probably to be exempted.
This means the removal from en-
ployment of about per cent of the
population. The places of these men
must be filled.
The demand for. war materials for
the government vii. cause speeding
up of production in almost every line
Of endeavor. Factories will be rush
ed as never before.
Every man, woman and child who
is able to work will be employed at
good wages and money will circulate
freely. Business will go forward with
a new force. because of conditions con-
fronting US.
There is a scarcity of merchandise
in nearly every line, and the problem
of manufacturing must be solved by
employing more labor. Wages are
seeking new and higher levels. Pros
perity beyond anything ever before
known is in store for us.
