let passing soldier know he is well
come at the table. This man writes. in
part:
Some Washington families are going
to provide a place at their Thanksgiv-
ing dinner for a soldier. Surely fine
thing to do. There are many of the
boys who would be glad to accept such
hospitality. Cannot The Star offer
some plan by which the invitation can
be given in q more general way?
There might be printed on heavy
paper or cardboard legend or device
which IL soldiers seeing might know
welcome was offered them to ente
the home. If there should be room for
more than one soldier visitor It should
be SO stated. Then even if several
thousand soldiers are granted leave
they might know where the latchstring
is hanging out on Thanksgiving day"

Uncle Sam does SO much for the
American people that when he asks for
the loan of their money to make sure
of winning the war for their protection
and security from foreign foe he
should get it quickly He will return
every dollar CT it, with interest. The
humblest citizen owes it to himself to
keep Uncle Sans war chest filed. He
has until tomorrow night to discharge
rhis obligation.
