expect to be called upon frequently
to do their share for the boys who
are or who will be at the front
fighting the battles of those who stay
at home. The ones who stay at
home do not risk their lives and
they can surely do no less than give
share of THEN money.
Let us all give And give freely fol
any cause which Will help our boys
who are in training for the front
