STAND BY THE BOYS
by Pauline Worth Hamlin of The
Vigilantes)

Word has come back from the boys
in France I'VE will be all right over
here in the trenches if you folks over
there will stand by u.s."
What do they mean by standing
by?
They mean for us to do our part
in food conservation, in buying
Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bonds.
They mean for us to stand by the
Red Cross with our money, our hands
and our brains. They mean for us
to refrain from buying non-essentials
so that the men and women who
make them can be released for the
making Of essentials. They mean
for us to place one cent stamp up
on our periodicals when we have fin.
ished reading them so that the boys
may have good things to read.
They mean for us to write cheerful
letters to them. One young soldier
said, 81 don't mind the danger and
the discomforts If | feel that every
body is all right at home, but when
| get letter saying that Frank is
out of job and sister Hattie is sick
and food is SO high they can't afford
it and there is no coal-Well, l feel
like the devil"
Remember that by the time that
letter reaches France Frank may
have better job, Hattie may be fat
and rosy, food may be easier to get
and the coal shortage ended Even
if that is not true write cheerful let
tiers anyway. The boy over there
needs cheer, it isn't his place to be
cheering you. Remember that what.
ever discomforts we may be having
over here they are comforts COM
pared to what they have over there.

current quota, in all classes.
The Naval Reserve Force is the Of

as his qualifications will permit. This
is the most pleasant and interesting
branch of the Service and one in which
men are needed and will be needed to
see that our army is safely transport

men be trained at once to take care
OF the increasing movements of our
troops and to man and protect our in.

the most pleasant, interesting and pa.
triotic duty to which you can volun-
teer your services and you should
take advantage of the opportunity
now given limited on account of the
limit of the number of men that can
be trained at this time.
