notable instance of this is the Louise

minded of the many unhappy events
that 1917 has brought to this coun-

forth. No doubt there will be many
heartaches over the many fatalities
that stare us in the face. Many of
our sons are about to enter the bloody
battlefelds in a foreign land and

in that way should turn their thoughts

parents, and let the slogan for 1918
