Cropping his darkened way into

stretched forth a hand holding
dimes, nick1es, pennies, his savings
for the first payment of $50
Liberty Bond. When the salesman
filling out the pledge murmured
something about patriotism, tears
started in Harris sightless eyes as
he feverish1y fingered the button on
his chest, to make sure il was there.
He cannot offer himself to his
country; he is blind. He cannot
even read the faring headlines on
the paper he sells, but emblaZoned
across the heart that beats beneath
his faded shirt are the flaming
words, Liberty, Equality, Jus
tice," the principles for which his
grandsires fought. Come on you

Blind Harris Will show you how.

means of wringing the necks of one

Red Cross men did not stop
their work as long as fighting con-
tinued in the battle Of ST. Millie1,
but as it progressed they moved
ahead with the troops and got close
UP to the lines before the offensive
began. Hot drinks were sent to
the front lines in the ambulances
that went after wounded. At one
point between daylight and nine ?.
M. 100 gallons of hot chocolate
were served to- fighters, and 120
gallons at another point.
Who is going to win the next
great battle. The Battle of the
Loan? The Ninth German War
Loan and the Fourth American
Liberty Loan are now being raised.
In this contest of patriotism one
country is going to beat the other
in the amount subscribed and the
length of time taken to put over
the Loan.
We must, we simply must, sub
scribe orr Loan before the Germans
subscribe theirs. Remember, we
are pitting ourselves against ma
ton of savers. For years the
slaves of the Kaiser have been
educated to save. Not in order
that they might improve their lot,
but in order that they might have
plenty of money saved up to erect
a monument on the grave clvlllza-
ton to that unnatural degenerate,
the Kaiser.
Do not let us forget, Germany
has been saving for forty years to
win this war and is not yet exhaust
ed. Who is going to win the next
great battle, The Battle of the Loan?
