Somewhere, in far off farm or village

sunburned faces as you and I see
them on their last night before going

the heart that I watched them, bent
over their letter paper, in one after

These were the tents Of the Y. M. G.
A On that last night in America the

an opportunity to write home. On

part of the world to another than sta
tistics can express. Statistics are
pretty poor anyway when it comes to
reckoning in terms of love and human
tenderness. Let's put it this way:
That the Y. M c. A is the biggest ex-
press company the world has ever
seen, and the parcels it is handling
are the loves and devotions of human
beings.
Worlds Best Loved Trademark.
This war las made us think hard
and fast Your boy or your neigh
boris boy or some boy you know ana
love has been called to do his share
in the big job Of policing the world for
democracy and human liberty. Is it
any comfort to you to know that wher-
ever his duty may call him your boy
will nave a friend that will serve him
in body, mind and soul? Are you
glad to know that this friend will place
books and magazines at his disposal,
organize classes to teach him what
ever he wants to learn, give him a
pocket testament and invite him to
join religious meetings Of the faitL
that he was brought up in? Did you
realize that the association provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
games, teaches him games If he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures,
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter
tainments and every kind of whole
some amusement to keep him interest
ed? Are you glad to know that this
friend will 60 with him overseas, help
to shield him from a score Of difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up to the front line trench
and beyond it? The last contact the
soldier has with this life he loves so
well is cup of tea given him by the
Y. M. G. A. free just before he goes
lover the top" to hand to hand strug-
gle with the enemy. And as he comes
lettering back from No Mans Land,
wounded, but strong enough and
plucky enough to keep on his feet,
even before his wounds are dressed
the Y. M. G. A. is waiting for MIN with
tea and sweet chocolate, the great COM
forts of the man in the trenches. Do
you wonder that the Red Triangle is
called "the best loved trademark in
the world?" One soldier in France has
called it "the last evidence that any
body cares"
If every thinking citizen could see
with his or her own eyes something
OF the actual work being done for our
men by the association there would be
no question Of the Y. M. c. A having
to appeal to the public for money
Rather than let this essential work
