What Do You Think Is My Share'
By BRUCE BARTON

He conscientious gentleman, who honestly
wants to do right. And he came to me shaking
his head
81 want to do my full part in this United War
Work Campaign" he said. do you think
hundred dollars is my sharef"
And | told him that it would be hard for
anyone but himself to decide. There are SO
many different ways of looking at money" l
said.
hundred and seventy millions looks big at
first glance. 1t is forty times what Jefferson
gave for the Louisiana territory.
It's dollar and seventy cents for every man,
woman and child in the land; it's more than
eight dollars and a half for every household.
7'You can figure it on that basis" l told him.
"On the basis Of dollars and cents. Or you can
figure it on the basis of boys"
"Of boys" he questioned. II do not under
stand"
It's less than fifteen cents day for each OF our
soldiers and sailors, answered. Fifteen cents
a day to give them warmth and comfort and
Entertainment, and lectures, and games, and tho
Thought of mother and Of God"
"Fifteen cents a day for boy: two for
quarter day. How many boys will you
take"
And his eyes kindled. ''I think could take
ten at least" he said. He drew his check book
out.
"Fieure it out and tell me the price" he said.
81 want you to give them the best you've got.
What is it going to cost!
"-for ten boys, for year, at two for quarter
day"
So figured it out for him: suppose you figure
it out for yourself.

LOVER THE TOP"

The Daily Times has received the
exclusive right for this territory to
publish one of the biggest stories of
the present war-"Over the TOp"-by
Arthur Guy Empey, the first Install
ment of which will appear next week.
If you are looking for a literary pro-
duction-a story with love romance.
or tale of mystery, you don't want
over the Top" Empey seeks no
honors as a writer; his is only a plain,
unvarnished story of his own expert
ences as a soldier under the British
flag for year and half in France,
but it is as thrilling and wonderful
a narrative as you ever read!
The only love you will find in the
chapters is the love of country in
spired by the recital of the adventures
of young American who was willing
to give his life that freedom and
NCLlOCIdCy might D6 SdFeu 10 Jn6
world.
Empey describes trench warfare,
bomb, gas, machine gun and bayonet
fighting, scouting and wire cutting,
going cover the top" and capturing
trenches in hand-to-hand encounters.
He tells lust what the fighting men
do and how they do it. He knows be-
cause he wes one of them.
1t is the fortune of few men to go
through the experiences Empey did
and live to tell of them; to be wounded
seven times; to know what the deadly
German gas attacks mean; to be the
target of terrible machine guns; to
live for months in trenches and dug
outs with mud and rats,

HIS HAT is STILL IN THE RING

1t is good to learn that Colonel
Roosevelt has been discharged from
the hospital and that he is feeling
bully" despite his impaired sight and
hearing At that, we think that it
would pay the Colonel to have a care
for his physical condition, for he is
no longer in his prime. Time was
when he was able to stand up under
Iabors that would stagger superman,
but the wear and tear of his strenuous
career have perceptibly slowed him
down. We suspect that he would feel
affronted at even the slightest intima-
ton that he is not so good man as
he was a few years back, for his
marvellous mind is still as clear as a
bell and his indomitable spirit simply
will not down. He has a message to
bear to his fellow countrymen and
he proposes to deliver it in his own In
Irritable fashion, regardless of con
sequences.
Which recalls the remark of a South
ern editor, occasioned by Hiram John
sons speech in defense of his FRIEND
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-03-22

before the senate last summer, in
which he said: "All that is asked on
behalf of the Colonel is that in the
twilight of his lie ne may lay down
that life for his country" This APP
peal provoked the humorous scribe to
say; Sounds little sobby, Hi. The
Colonel amt figuring on staging any
sunset pictures just yet"
1t would be interesting to know just
what he said to his physicians when
they prescribed a treatment that in
yolved the necessity of keeping quiet
and not allowing his emotions to be-
come excited. Right there and then
we fancy that the irrepressibIe Col
onel decided to take matters in his
hands, as is evidenced by his deter
minatiOn to keep his Maine speaking
engagement. 1t may be that he will
be able to make that speech without
stirring his emotions, but we doubt it.
What he intends to say is, of course,
still open to speculation The chances
are, however. that he will not throw
any bouquets at his opponents And
speaking of his opponents, we won
der whether, after all, most of the
opposition to the Colonel is nothing
but "a camouflage of affection"
