OF the fittest among humans demands
every ounce of our energy. every cent
OF our money. Noble men and wom-

bonds and War stamps. our American
farmers have repeatedly gone over the

recognized. Now in this fourth lib

the same generous confidence In the
eternal principles Of human liberty and
Of self government that were cham

Their flags to April breeze unfurled.
