WOMEN GIVE WHEAT,
SONS AND MONEY

American women, everywhere, anu
Western women second to none, have
borne their part in the fight. They
have saved their meat and their wheat.
they have given their husbands and
sons. Their money is going now. In
the first, second and third Liberty
loans they have invested their dollars.
Opportunity to serve has come again.
The Government is seeking funds. 1t
is asking for the third of it's three-fOld
need-men, munitions and money.
The hand that rocked the cradle is
holding the purse strings in these mo-
mentous days. For their boys Western
mothers will not withhold the needed
gold. America has started on the road
to Berlin. The way is long one.
and travelling is difficult. But the jour
ney must be made, and the pilgrims
must be equipped.
It is no longer question of "shan
we buy bonds" with American mothers.
That was answered when the boys
went over there. 1t is no longer a
question of can we buy bonds" The
experience of the first three loans has
answered that.

The little children in this neighbor-

Immediately it is sounded, they

can only have been through the

Inasmuch as God existed before
the world, or the universe, because,

assume that He made il either out
Of nothing or else out of something

out Of nothing, our reasoning is halt
