1t must be remembered that out of
a million men called to the colors, 30,-
900 of them will come from Wiscon-
sin. They will come from the factory,
the store, the Office and the school.
Cities will give their quota and also
the villages and the farms. Many OF
them will be mere boys, and they will
enter new environment, where
temptations are subtle and strong.
Loneliness prevails even In a crowd
and anxiety for the home folks is
keenly felt.
1t is to keep the boys happy and
free from temptation, to keep them in
a position to fight off disease, to give
them dainty things while they are
tossing on hospital cots. that this work
, is to be done.
