MADE FOR LOYALTY
Good Effect of Citizens Battle

What War Means.

It took a lot of backache and bis
ters and frostbite to clear this snow
bound western world of drifted OBJ
struction, making it safe for travel,
secure for the daily affairs Of life.
Those two great January storms
created desperate situation-one
that had to be met and overcome.
Everybody suddenly had the same
idea-a strong shovel, willing heart
and a cheerful disposition.
There was nothing else to do.
We had to be free.
And we We're.
Every patriot in the middle west
who had a shovel and backbone got
out and used them.
Lot lines didn't count, for we were
fighting common enemy.
The shoveling spirit thrilled us, en-
masse--no one stopped to be saluted
or introduced-no one stopped to
theorize-no one claimed exemption or
superiority. We just asserted our
right of way-and dug 1t.
SO. here is freedom-to go or come.
1t was great lesson in united ac-
ton, convincing example of the soil
darity of human interest, reassuring
experience in loyalty to the cause of
common welfare. It was an American
demonstration.
The Stacker was thoroughly I'M
Stacked when he saw his neighbor
shoveling off his walk.
1t was a worthwhile storm.
Men met each other in these neigh
borhood trenches with new express
sion in their eyes--a new feeling in
their hearts.
Over the white-blocked barricades
of snow, head high and miles in length,
they were seeing those redeemed, sand
bagged walls in Belgium. Seeing loyal
bayonets shoveling humanity's way to
freedom through storm-crushed Elan
ders. Seeing Drawer patriots than
themselves struggling manfully against
Alpine avalancheS of steel and biz
yards of fire, that the home-paths of
mankind be not obstructed forever by
any brutal drifts of hate or selfshness.
The roar of the Arctic terror these
neighbors knew when the storm broke
upon their unpreparedness was as
nothing to the scream of shells and the
thunder of artillery they are hearing
now in those trenches across the sea-
and in their souls.
They have realized in small, blood
less way the meaning Of war--war that
is perpetual offensive storm, instead
of an occasional one in January.
When men meet In these snow
trenches of the West, there's only one
comment: We've got to help them
win"
And they mean it--as they meant
every shovelful of snow they threw out
of their paths of peace and content
ment.
Some great blessings come thickly
disguised.
