ply the soldiers needed. The govern
two sources, taxes and loans. If any
one is tempted to complain OF addl-
tional burdens laid upon him through
the new revenue law, he should re-
member that taxes, however high, are
paid out of income and that the cap
| ital is usually left untouched;
whereas, those summoned to mill
tary service are called upon to sur
render principal as well as income.
Taxes, therefore, are less burden
some upon the individual than mill
| tary service and loans are still less
burdensome to the present genera
| ton than taxation. When the gov
eminent collects money through tax
es it does not promise to return it,
but when it borrows money it not
only pays back every dollar that it
! bori ows but pays interes- on the
| per cent, the rate on Liberty bonds,
| is more than the average rate paid
b. the saving banks of the country.
! When one responds to call for
money in the form of a government
loan, therefore, he not only answers
call upon his patriotism but makes
a good business Investment; he ex-
hibits the most profitable form OF
patriotism which he will have a
chance to manifest. Whenever a
government bond ceases to be good
security, there will be nothing else
in this country worth investing in;
since a government bond is not on
" first mortgage on every dollars
worth of property under the flag,
but has the nations honor thrown IN

to make the security doubly good.

to make the security doubly good.
The citizen has not, however, done
his full duty when he pays his taxes
and buys Liberty bonds; there are
certain unofficial organizations that
have a claim upon the purse of the
citizen-organizati which, though
they have no power to compel re-
Spouse, have an undeniable claim
upon the nations resources.
The Red Cross society is an estab-
lished Institution with the world for
it's field of service. 1t has no rival
in ministering to the comfort of the
sick and wounded. When it asked
for one hundred million dollars for
it's work the country gave one hun
dred twenty million-proof of the
organization hold upon the conf
dence of the people and proof also
o ia nations liberality The Red
Cross society must be supported in
it's work no matter how often it calls
or how much money it needs.
But the soldier needs to have
nourishment for his spiritual nature
as well as food for his body and the
Young Mems Christian Association
takes the lead in looking after the
morals of the men. The strength OF
its position has also been proven by
