= you have read the story OF Patrick
Henry. It was in our school readers.
1t has been associated with "spread-
eagle" talk and fireworks, but it is alive and
ablaze with the purest patriotism.
You recall how Patrick Henry pointed out that a war
against liberty had begun and how he thundered,
Il knoW not uhat course Others may take, but
AS FOR NE, giUe me Liberty or give me death.
In all ages some men have had to choose between
Liberty or death. The question becomes interesting as
it becomes PERSONAL---VERY. it reaches the "as for M"
stage.
We are living once more in times that try mems
souls"-when the "as for me" cannot be lodged or
deferred. What is YOUR @as for me-? What will you
do to help smash the German War Machine before it
Smashes us?
In order that this "a be won, n effort n o money
must be spared. The Liberty Bond way of helping
win it is open to ALTO you. tits going to take heaps
of money to keep u soldiers and sailors fit and keep
them fighting till we win this war.
The spirit of Patrick Henry is again abroad in our land.
Have you caught some of it! Have you settled YOUR "as
for me-? Keep open house for the spirit of real patriotism
and the solemn truth that it is better to die than not be free!
Take all the Liberty Bonds you can possibly swing!

There are few important factors IN
either defensive or offensive warfare
or indirectly. Food supplies for our
men and allied forces and civilian pop
ulation was produced and transported
Ia enormous quantities; agriculture in
the bclligerent countries necessarily
had become secondary to tine defense
of homes against the ravages of the
unspeakable Hun. and the burden of
country's many problems.
TO produce sufficient food to meet the
necessities. even inter all proper con-
scrration measures were adopted, in
creased production was essential. This
required vast tonnagcs OF steel for
agricultural implements and probably
100000 tons Of tin plate for the can
ming industry. The old motto Of the
