Mrs. Crosby Leaves.

Mrs. Crosby Leaves.
 Suffering makes hoe Rs cons1derafe upon her going. even though he is so i'll. Having his mother at his side all the time means "just a bit Of heaven" to him. That is one of the many things the great war has done. It purifies the soul and tends to make the real 9eople, those who have souls, unselfsf.
 Will Mrs. Coyle's workers lie down while their general is away? They will not. Mrs William D. Price. Mrs. Frank B. Gray, Mrs. Charles H. Sprague, wife of Dr. Sprague, who was Bert Coyle's captain, and all the Hilary women, will hand Mrs. Crosby such a surprise when she returns that she will know just what able officers she has in her army.
 Now what is the Legion and Vet erans of Foreign Wars going to do for their Gold Star Mother? Sit down and think a minute. Doys. Bear in mind, while you were fighting with women of Bridgeport doing? Did they sfi down and weep with folded hands and wait until you finished your battles? They did not. They were with you step by step, every foot of the way and by their prayers and work, even manual labor did not stop them, they helped you to win the war. Are you going to remembsr now! Not only the GTOIu oIdE MOII- CTS but every candidate in this eIec- ton worked for you, were with you, every step of the way. they ached for you and in many cases saved your jobs for you-
 One of the most outstanding memor- les of the late war here in the United States, is the sight of woman of all ages knitting, on the street cars, park benches and every place where it was possible to hold a pair of knitting needles and a sox, there was to be found women knittng-knttng- knitting. Dickens '"Tale of Two Cities was well repeated during 1917 and 1918. The women of Dickens story who sat knitting while the tunl- brils passed, faded insignificance in comparison to our women in the great war.
 Get Busy, veterans!
 Do you realize, boys of the Ameri- can Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, that all these mothers. wives, sisters and sweethearts have never asked you for one favor in return for their untiring service. Now is the big time to show these Bridgeport girls and Gold Star mothers that all your big talk during the war about your gratitude to the woman of the United States meant something. Get out and work for these girls and women; any one of them that you feel like work ing for, send them off with a bang, give them the opportunity of going over the ground of France which you all made sacred to them while you were fighting for the freedom of the world+ Show gratitude boys. It. is the most wonderful attribute God has ever given us, gratitude"
 If the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars would get out and hustle for one week they could easily elect five candidates to join the Good Will Delegation. to carry the Bridgeport message to France next Spring under the aus pices of the American Committed for Devastated Trance. Go to it, boys !. This is the first and last chance you will ever>have to help one of the girls or women of your town to embrace the greatest opportunity ever extend ed to the women of America. Don't give as an excuse: you are working all day and haven't the time to helE elect these candidates. The women themselves are working their wom. en workers are busy all day-bu1 they find time to get out and hustle in between-i-ties and are over joyed to do it. SHOW YOUR GRAF ITUDD. If not to France, to those war women who "carried on,'' with bleeding hearts while their men were making History.
