With the help of Oregon newspapers we can perform
tins great tlsk alloted us. This is a piece of universal ser
vice which every man, woman and agency must render
unselfislily, that our boys may go to the front in the full
realization that dependents at home will be cared for and
that they themselves, if wounded, may be given the care
that will insure their return to us.
We believe the appeal is so strong, the need so vitally
important, that if the newspapers but tell the story, our
task will be easy of accomplishment.
