of the Rotary club.
NO matter how patriotic or loyal
one may be Individuality he or
she is not doing all possible in an
organized way toward the winning
of this war. their efforts are scat
tered and wasted. Organize societies
and concentrate your efforts into
one united effort. Don't lose an op-
portunity 10 do what you can for
tie cause in talking To your friends
and neighbOrs and business %assOcia-
ates. Don't ask yourself if you

boys who are going over there 10
sacrifice their lives, the most prec-
ious possession. we surely "a not
hesitate i'm backing them up to the
limit with our money and efforts.

"The time has now come when
we must AXE care of the penny just
as we'll as the dollar. Whether it is
a crumb of bread, lump of sugar.
a piece of meat-dOn't waste il.
"All these various war-fund cam
paigns come one after the other and
will continue to come until this war
is finished. We must make up our

power and resistance into the
struggle.
When these boys come back
they will look YOU in the eye and viii
be able to determine by intuition

ers. pointing out that Germans SUI
p~eriority lay in organization and
system. He stated that the allies had
them ou~tnumbered two to one in
men, but that America should rea-
lie the powerful system il has 10

should make up his mind to do his
full duty. He said war was no more
nor less than a business and O a

we'll of each of its countrymen, and
that each would experience the
hardship. suffering and sorrow thai
