war, where can you 90 when it is over
and live as well as you are living now.
The war has been on for nearly four
years, and it may last full four years
more, but even at that a complete VIC
tory will be well worth all it will cost.
Our nation is sacredly pledged to help
the war through, and to see that the
peace established is world peace, and
not one made in Germany.
ALL May HELP.
Only very small portion of our pop
ulation is available for the fighting line,
yet everyone of our more than 100. 900
600 of people can DO bit, which sacred
duty they are called upon to do, even at
great sacrifice.
Get this we'll into your minds and
hearts, and begin right now.
If the boy scouts could sell more than
70, 900, coo government bonds surely we
who are as much too old to go into the
ranks as they are too Young, ought to
be able, on account Of our knowledge
and experience, to count ours in billions.
These boys, their mothers, their sis
tiers and their cousins and their aunts,
are working heart and hand, determin-
ed that it shall be no fault of theirs
should the war prove failure.
! With team work like this there can
be no fear Of failure, for it not only in
sures q supply of the material sinews
of war but gives courage to the hearts
and cheer to the souls of the men actu-
ally engaged in the conflict.
If we hold up the hands of the boys
they will bring down the game.
