CROOK COUNTY JOl'RNAL BOYS TAKE HOLD Itl GOOD OLD AMERICAN WAY, SOLDIER SAYS Hardships Ignored, Wounded Man Tells Mother Don't Let Them Hinder Your War Work By Mrs. Hatel Pedlar Faulkner From a hospital somewhere in France a wounded American has writ ten to hli parents: "W are going through hardships, but the boys are taking hold in the good old American way." What a message (or those of us who have remained at home! What a challenge to the vast army of men and women who are in the home guard, carrying on In the thousand and one ways that the exigencies of war have brought upon us. "We are going through hardships."! we can oeneve that, when we re call the dauntless charges which our boys have been making over there, and the dally lengthening casualty lists which are resulting from their fearless devotion, to the task .that is set before them. We know they are going through hardships, when we stop to thlak of the hundreds upon hundreds who are wounded, and who for the time be ing at least need care and attention. FIENDISH ENEMY ADDS TERRORS Of course they are going through hardships, those boys from your borne and mine.

But hardships are not the part of the war these soldiers of ours are thinking most about They are but the Incidents In the day's work. "The boys are taking bold In the good old American way." Could there be a abetter statement of their manner of facing what comes to them? Could there be a more def inite course of action prescribed for those of us at home during these days which test the mettle of our ouls? The time for our message to the boys has come again. The Fourth Liberty Loan Is to be our response to this wounded soldier's challenge. MAKE YOUR ANSWER NOW Are we going to take hold in the "good old American way?" We have not had to go through hardships, ours have been an easier part. We have known little of sacri fice or deprivation. Compared with the offering of our boys, we have done nothing as yet And now. here Is the challenge sounded 'to ns. The good old American way is all that is asked of us. What is that way? Ton must frame the answer, moth ers and sisters of the west YourtL ts an important part in the reply! which the nation will make to the; Joy overseas.

There is no longer need to explain -what a Liberty Loan is. There it no more necessity for pointing out reasons for participation in it. This is the day when but to hear its call Is to Insure its heartiest support September 28th is the date set for onr concerted reply through the Fourth Liberty Loan.
