we all think, but II we all depend
upon the other fellow. we will wake
up next week to the fact that we
have been slackers. and the country
has suffered severe defeat by our
negligence. This war is the busi-

country. The enemy has challeng-
ed the civilization of the world by
defying the law OF nations and COM
mitting acts Of brutality that are
unspeakable. There is no middle
course. We are either for or against
our country. II we are against 1t,
we have no right to expect its pro-
lection, II we are for it. we should
do our bit.
The last loan came at time when
1t was difficult to get money and our
crops were not fully assured, but
now we have both crops and prices
which make us the most prosperous
we have been in years.
In addition we know that quite a
little cheap money has come. to us
and more is coming as a result OF
the generosity of the government
that We are now called upon to aid
We should not hesitate a moment
to subscribe for the bonds. even If
we have to deny ourselves many of
the things that we think we want.
Think OF the denial OF those who
are going to the front. and then If
yon can, refuse to do your share

funds needed to supply those boys
with all of the conveniencies that
it is possible to give them to lessen

The campaign to raise funds for
