Who has not boosted with pride,
whether reared in luxury or in pow
erty, "this is just like mother made"
1t was probably not like mother made
it, but his love of home and mother
and his memories of her handiwork
ideafized home and all that came from
home as better than Ike same thing
from any other source, regardless of
excellence. If Mother" made it, it
was good and preferred for that rea-
son.
"Just like mother made"-made at
my homemade where my boyhood
memories influenced my life work,
made where the swimming hole was
l an ocean and where a skinny orchard
'was a forest Of golden fruit--"Home
Mader and well made synonymous.
Every soldier when facing the foe
visualizes home and mother. That
holy influence has changed the bound
airy lines Of countries and won the
wars of the world. "Home, Sweet
Home"
BRIGHTEN HOME.
1t Is not only a logical conclusion
but a natural sequence that, IL We
succeed in gaining the thoughtful con-
sideration for the briefest moment, OF
our purchasing public, OF our south
ern manufacturers, the response will
be spontaneous. The sentiment is al

Thoughtless disregard of the great
good couchcdsafed to OUR HALF Of
this country in our patronage on COM
petitive products, is the cause for ex-
isting conditions. Let's keep our
home fires burning" and if every citi-
zen will do his part-just throw on
small lump of coal-it will make a
mountain of fuel that will last
through all the winters ahead, and
make bright and comfortable every
home within our borders.

10 be reached by pntronizing home In
situations. and answer for yourself
the questions that will establish the
justice. wisdom and benefits, sure to
result in the program. We must bone
fit ourselves In spending our money
at home, that money win circulate To-
cally and SOME Of it will be returned
TO the same purse that started it on
its local journey. 1t will pay.
KEEP MONEY HERE.
The manufacturer, the cmploye OF
his factory, the grocer, the butcher,
the doctor, taxes, which pay for your
protection as citizen, including the
Dedication OF your children and the
rrosd for your transportation, benefit
simply becau you spend your earn
ings at home; YOU gave preference TO
home manufacturers and sent the
money out to be spent in your own
neighborhood.
But reverse policy tells a differ

yourself. You send your money TO
conserve the same purposes but with
different pcople-a people living on
the fruits of your earnings and its
final distribution is for the upbuilding
and supremacy of the favored section
You choose to give this preference.
This argument is not necessary for
the patriots Of the great Southland.
nor do we hope for anything short of
solid endorsement of this campaign.

the sentiment Of youth and to re-
kindle that feeling of domestic pride.
