THE GRATITUDE DRIVE

The campaign to raise sufficient
funds to comfortably furnish the
headquarters of the Vocational Vet
Grams club has been we'll designat-
ed as the GRATITUDE drive. The
people of this community have never
failed to respond promptly and lib
orally in every Liberty Loan, Red
Cross, y. NJ. c. A, and Salvation
Army drive. and they must not fail
in this one, which touches them clos
er than any of the others,
The money raised is to be used to
promote the welfare and comfort of
q group of men living in our midst,
every one of whom incurred such in
juries during the war as to be unfit
ted to resume his former trade or
avocation, Each one of these vet
Grams is a living evidence of the self
sacrifice and courage which won the

are facing the future with high cour.
age and patiently fitting themselves
to take up new lines of work which
will enable them to again become
self-supporting citizens.
They are not mendicants, they are
not asking for charity 1t is not an
act of charity to surround these dis
abled veterans with comforts and to
make their environment cheerful and
hcmelike 1t is privilege to have
this opportunity of showing our
gratitude for and our appreciation of
the sacrifices made in our behalf by
the brave boys, who cheerfully left
their work and homes to join the
colors and follow them wherever
ordered
While we remained safe at home,
drawing good salaries or making
money they faced every kind of
peril and hardship for $50 q month
While we slept in comfortable beds,
they slept on the ground in trenches
and dugouts. While we came out of
the war safe and as well or better
off financially than when it began,
they came out SO crippled or sick as
to be heavily handicapped for the
rest Of their lives.
If we have any spark of gratitude
in us, it will impell us to gladly seize
this opportunity of demonstrating
our appreciation of the services rem
dered by those who endured so much
and suffered 80 cheerfully in our
behalf.
The promptness and liberaiity
with which we respond to this drive
will be the guage of the depth and
sincerity Of our gratitude to those
who fought and won the war for us

easy to become stockholder. The
aim should be tc have in the associa-
ton every patron who is eligible.
Every concern that calls itself CO.
operative and seeks to cell stock to
farmers and others on that basis
should be measured by these stand
ards of true cooperation. A store
company is being promoted in Oma-
ha at this time which the promoters
have said viii be conducted on the
Rochdale' plan. Investigation shows,
however, that the company is not at
all cooperative.
The promoters of this store COM
pgny have the controlling interest
and do not hesitate to say that they
expect to keep it. They hold large
blocks of stock themselves, but limit
the amount that those outside Of the
inner circle may buy. Stock divi-
dends will be as large as they can
earn, with 10 per cent as a sort of
working guide. While they make re-
bates on the patronage of stockhoid-
ers, these are only what the men in
control care to give. This rebating
system is simply a talking point, and
is not used as a means to return to
patrons all but the actual cost of do
ing business. - Nebraska Union
