Opportunity for Everybody

Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

There are exceptions 90 all rules.
never thought | would live to see the
day that | would approve of chain
letter" device which is usually most
annoying instrument of some Supersti-
tious propaganda. But there are ex-
ceptions as stated. Just IA, | suppose,
there are times when il is justifable to
resist a policeman or eat soup from the
front end of the spoon.
Here Is the exceptional chain letter, OF
which | take il the most obstinate Of
my readers will approve:
man writes me, saving he has sent
the following letter 10 President Wilson.
enclosing some uncanceled postage
stamps:
Mr.: President: | paid the price Of
these postage stamps and now send you
the stamps themselves, as my mite con-
tributed to Uncle Sans War Fund. |
shall ask others 20 contribute too, and
still others in their turn, so that a con-
tinuing chain of mite-contrbutions may
be heard from As many men viii give
their lives for their country. so ought
we TO give our money. instead Of merely
investing it.
Signed .,..........."
He asks me to send a like note. with
some stamps. Ito the president, and to
copy this letter and send il TO at least
three friends requesting them to do the
same
He says that thus within SO days
after starting this chain more than o.
100000 mites will have been sent in.
This simple idea has much TO com
mend {. In the first place. the money
you spend for stamps is just so much
given not lent, 70 the government.
But the main advantage is that 1t en-
ables the person Of small means 70 do
his bit 1t was great idea 20 put the
Liberty Loan Bonds as low as $50. II
is greater one 20 put this subscription
within the reach of those who have
only a few cents
Every boy and girl. every clerk and
workman every human being can thus
have chance 90 help
Wouldn't il be wonderful and beau
tifu thing in this way everal million
dollars might pours into Uncle SAINTS
pockets as the unsolicited tribute from
his children?
Come, buy some stamps and send
them in. and show the president that the
very least and humblest Of U.s. want TO
help.

ton. had been irritated for n long time

ernIncnt responsible for nil its suffer
ing. The government, expecting
trouble. took measures on n large scale
In order 10 maintain order, and among

ukase, but TO continue its meetings.

! presses the certainty that the popuia-
/ ton and the army will lend their as
sstance for the difficult task OF Great
ing new government, which Will &C
