high. We avoid it. 1t must necessarily follow Such
expensive undertaking our participation IN the
world war;
But the victory won the fields Of France was
worth the cost.
There is question of doubt but that the debt is ours
And it is who should pay IT,
1t may take more scrmping and saving to pay it, But
it won't take the sacrifice asked of boys we sent "over
there"
So let's dig down nto pockets and pay our debt
the debt for the fought TO make the world
a better place in which to work and live.
But, speaking of the debt. We were

there such-and many. They the men who in

1t is a pity that the ktchn-Smmons law doesn't
carry club with which Uncle Sam himself might curb
the profiteers. We'd like to them swatted
hard and often But. there is another club and it's in
your hands That is your privilege to refrain from trad

they're killing the goose which laid their golden eggs.
