OF the brain power Of this country.
State of Mind Needed.
That job needs the state of mind OF
the French women. When a French
woman drops plate and breaks it. or
she is informed her husband has been
killed in the trenches, she has the
same answer-'c'est La Guerre'-it is
the war. To perform this job takes
just that state of mind. 1 have seen
this state of mind displayed by the
war gardeners who have made up their
mind that General Pershing's call
keep the Food Coming" shall be an
swered. Theirs has been one of the
most remarkable tributes to the call
Of patriotism the world has ever seen.
We are told there will be three mill
lion men under arms shortly. With
the daily average cost of fifty cents to
feed soldier that means Uncle Sans
food bill will be one and half mil
lion dollars every day. Where is that
food coming from? 1t means the peO-
pie of this country will have to get

thousands of letters the commission
receives every day:
My Dear Sir: I want to help win the
war by having war garden. I saw your
notice about getting a free book. My

the steel helmets of the kaiser's jun
kers smash in the windows of your
homes and the arm of worse than muir

and herds you off to worse than death?
Remember "tlis is every ones hope
who has freed himself from his own
local European pride and who places
the race feeling above the love for

"a, Talk Should Be Conserved.
We are fighting a cankerous growth
that threatens to consume the world.
German poison is now running wild in
this country. Talk is not cheap. It
has gone up like everything else and
you should conserve it like coal or
flour.
There are just two antidOtes for
German poison. One is bullet with
the trade mark U. S. A. in the lower
left hand corner as it whistles cyan
kee Doodle" in its scream across No
Mans land. The boys you have sent
to the front will administer that dose.
have no fear about that as long as you
feed them. The other antidote is the
serum of silence and it is just as i'm
portant in the winning of the war on
this side of the ocean. Without it the
work of the soldier will go for naught
for if the German brain cannot be
| reached the dragon will rise again.
In the name of humanity do not let
the soldiers sacrifice be in vain. To
you the torch is thrown from Flanders
Fields. Be yours to hold it high and
WIN THE NEXT WAR NOW.
