I'M AFRAID THAT'S
ALL CAN SPARE

You're regular. red-blooded.
true-blue American. You love your
country. You love that Tapping,
swapping old flag. You're loyal
100 per cent!
You intend to-you want to-help
wir the war In hurry.
Sacrifice? Sure" you've been
thinking. Just you wait till they
really need it." And you've honestly
thought you meant that too.
Bullock yourself in the eye, now.
search up and down inside of your
heart-did you mean 1t? Did you
really mean sacrifice?
Listen: You feel poor. This third
Liberty Loan, the high prices. the In
come Tax-you've done your bit.
You feel that you've given all you
can spare.
What? Then what did you mean?
What's that you said about loving
your country? What did you think
the word sacrifice" means?
Surely you didn't mean, did you,
to give only what you can spare?
What about our boys who are CIV
ing their lives in the trenches? Are
they giving only what they can
"spare"?
How about those mothers and lit
tie "kiddies'' in the, shell-wrecked
towns of that war-swept hell
hungry-ragged- alone?
Giving up their homes, their hus-
bands, their fathers.
While we-over here with our fun
and our comforts-we hold up our
heads and feel patriotic because we
have given-what? Some loose bills
off the top of our roll. We've given
all we can spare,"
Come, Come! Let's quit fooling
ourselves. Let us learn what "sac-
rifice" means. Let us give more
than we can spare-let us "give till
the heart says stop"
