Yell ssOn to Berlin

Bill is collegian. Bill came into our sanctum
last night and he said, said he:
You know what the papers and the war depart
ment remind me of? They remind me of the Idaho
football team. Whenever idaho played in Seattle
their rah-rah boys would all get out on the side
lines and holler: Hold 'em, Idaho; hold EN-; hold
'emv
"And the U. of WIS rooters would be yelling:
rip 'em up, U. of VIZ Hit em hard! Buck
the line, z. of VIZ
"And Idaho never won aSfootba championship
yet. Dobies team won nine of them in a row.
And that's what's the matter with the allies
now. We're yelling Hold EN- when We ought to
be yelling Hit the line!' Think it over.'
We reckon Bill is pretty much right.
Let's quit this mere hoping Haig will hold the
channel ports
Just holding the line won't win the war
Let's boost for the allied offensive Let's think
offensive talk offensive, push offensive, to the end
that the boys over there may know we're behind
them for victory not draw.
On to Berlin! On to Berlin!
ON TO BERLIN!

Labor SlaCkerS

The rich man the poor man who remains idle
during these times is aiding the enemy.
Some communities are short of labor.
They should not appeal to other communities for
aid until they have made every effort to solve their
own problem
Along this line the state defense council has adj
dressed some good advice to county councils as
follows:
I'm every town and city there are still unused
sources of labor supply. These must be used this
year. Hundreds of young, able-boded men are still
doing work which could as well be done by older
men, women and boys Young men are still waiting
on table in hotels restaurants and cafes, selling
ice cream, candy dry goods, mems furnishings, gas
olne operating elevators, driving pleasure vehicles
"Men are still spending their afternoons in pool
halls and card rooms. No town city should ask
another community for help until it has made
careful canvass of its local situation and sent to the
farms every man it is possible to release. And no
man or group of men can know what the local sit
uation is until study of the facts has been made

Bible had in their minds the kind
of people they we're writing for.
They said to themselves, These
people are ignorant and they must
