As Mr.. Coolidge has been running for political office

back in his boyhood in Vermont. Any farmer will
testify that with spade acquired not often

Brother Charlie Bucks

pROTHER CHARLIE BRYAN, governor refuses to call
- out Nebraskas farmers and aborers Mr. Coodge's
National Defense day. the ground that that days exhibit
will be a "war gesture"
Whether other governors do do not follow Brother
Charles example it is extremely probable that Defense
day will be far from complete exhibit of the nations
potenaltes in the matter of defense 1t certainly will
be incomplete with the farmers and aborers of it. and
cannot be complete without the wives and mothers who
go without sugar, flour meat and coal in war times
The last war demonstrated beyond all doubt that the
vast majority of defenders do not uniform or carry
gun They fight with labor sacrifice and endurance
and the next war will demand still more OF them
Maybe some of the foreign people will look on the Cool
pge Defense day "war gesture" But the president
has power to put the scheme thru and is going to do it.
SO maybe it would be better to make il one whale Of
agestue than TO make it evident that part of US wouldn't
