Is a rich mans war. 1t is being
fought for the welfare of the poor Of
the whole world. Rich men and their
sons are making sacrifices Of life,
wealth, and comfort in due proportion
to their number. Activities; thst tend
to destroy, %discredit, or DISCOURAGE
honest wealth attack the prosperity
of the entire Nation and cripple its
power. Gigantic industries make this
Nation gigantic, and give it taxpay-
ing, money-spending, money-lending
powers equal to armies of soldiers.
Don't rail against CONSUMPTION. 1t

Don't forget that "many mickles
make a muckle:" The little bit Of in
formation you have may seem utterly
unimportant, yet it may furnish a spy
with just the confirmation he or she
needs: Or it may piece out some
fabric that needs only a patch or two
to be complete; or it may give him,
or her, a hint or a clue leading to
discoveries Of fatal consequence to
the ones you love, or-to others, or to
the Nation.
Don't minimize the minor matters.

furnish the nail to the shoe, to the
