Many businessmen, heretofore, have
not taken hnyj extensive part in the
work of prosecuting the' war. One
can go up and down the main business
streets of. Ia Grande, or any other
city, and count on two men's hands
the big bulk of men who really work
nt this war game at home. The others
lend their dollars, and their' enthusi
asm on big shows and parades, but
they don't hummer away night and
day at tho tiresomel monotonous de
tails. The rest "are so busy they
haven't time."' 1 They aro no busier

Analyze youi-self, Mr. Header.' Are
you so busy chasing dollars that you
don't do your full share of homo war
