Isn't that asking too much of him, and of

Mr.. Doubtful: "Why, it's awful, of

and men have to be killed in it,
Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1918-04-25

Mr.. Right: "You've said it-this is
war! To win the war it might be neces-
sary for the government to take your
factory away from you, and ruin your
business. 1t might be necessary to take
your house and turn you out in the street.
What of that? Is that as great sacrifice
as your neighbor makes, or stands ready
to make, when he gives his boy to his
country? Yet you don't think it's your
duty to pinch and save, and borrow if
need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds,
and thus help shorten the war, make VIC
tory certain, and save the lives of thou
sands of American boys who will other
wise be uselessly sacrificed.
Mr.. Doubtful: 81 guess that's true,
Mr.. Right, have been thoughtless. I'll
stop complaining and criticising, and put
up my last dollar if need be, to help
win this war"
