WRITE AND THEN WRITE AGAIN
By George AIDE


Il is mail day" at a camp in
France. The boys are crowding up to
a hoie in the wall and reaching out
for the precious letters as a miser
clutches for gold.
They may have marched through
London and they are within three
hours Of Paris, but what is a sec
ondary metropolis compared with the
old home town?
The Russian situation and the views
Of Lloyd George and the crop pros
poets in Italy measure very small
Alongside Of news about father and
mother and Aunt Lib and the local
ball team and the girls who sit on
the front porches and knit.
Can you put yourself in the place
Of the boy who has to back away with
these words singing in his ears,
Sorry, kid, but there's nothing for
your
Ali the others squatted around, sim
ply eating up the messages from back
there, and he off by himself, blue as
indigo, wondering what is the idea
and why they have forgotten him.
If you know a boy at the front,
write TO him. Don't wait for a month
after he goes away or it may be two
months after he says goodbye" be-
fore he gets the first letter. Send
the letters chasing after him as soon
as he starts. Make them cheerful
and don't be afraid to put in all the
loca. gossip and the fool cat-and-dog
news OF the neighborhood.

The patriotism Of our forefathers

INCREASE OF PATRIOTISM

/ am getting new evidence every
day of the fact that the people OF
this country have received a new bap-
tism of patriotism.
1t is not the blatant patriotism oil
the jingo, who whoops and bowls
without apparently knowing most Of
the time what he is bowling, about.
Neither is it the blind u%nreasoning
patriotism which talks about being
Tor ones country, right or wrong. IL
is a growing perception of the ire
mendous crisis in the history of the
world in which the United States
must take a leading part. More and
more the people of the United States
r coming to feel that this is a strug-
gle between two ideals of government
and that the fate of popular RUE is
to be determined by the result.
As a sample of this development
Of intense patriotism l quote from a
letter Just received from a subscriber
at Idaho Falls, Idaho, says the Farm
ers' Mail and Breeze. 7. L. Wham.
Closing his letter in which he shows
a clear understanding of the world
situation, he says; Every dollar
possess; every ounce of energy; my
service anywhere; all r at the sorV-
ice Of humanity as expressed by my
government"
That is coming more and more 70
be the sentiment of the people of the
United States. This is a war for
humanity and they are with the gov
eminent in a whole-hearted way t.
fight the war to a successful end in
the interest of democracy and hui
manity.

The local merchants cash basis
plan is a direct result of the war.
We know that the people will
help the merchants all they can.
1t may be a little hard at first to
get used to the new measure,
but war brings things about that
we must get accustomed to, and
this is one of them. If the war
keeps up much longer cash itself
will buy only so much for each
person. If the people will enter
heartily into the plan and deter
mine to buy only what they have
the cash to pay for, it will be a
patriotic move.

not large one, the ones in attend
ance showed a marked increase of in

to a great extent to the fact that
General Organizer Sol Sontheimer has
been in our midst for the past three
weeks visiting organizations evenings
and merchants during the day time,
with the result that there is stronger
feeling for our label now than ever
before. Mr.. Sontheimer has con-
vincing way about him that especially
qualities him for the position he oc-
cupies with the international union
as organizer. Some of our members
are now convinced that the straight
path of unionism will bring home more
bacon than rainbow chasing which is
being indulged in to some extent by
some of the membership of our or
ganization and others. The saying
that Rome was not built in day ap-
plies to most human affairs.
Mr.. Sontheimer left Wednesday
morning over the Denver 4 Rio
Grande for Salt Lake, where he ex-
poets to devote week or so to the
movement. after which he will work
his way to the coast and probably put
in the rest of the winter there and in
the spring return to his home town,

route.
