Inventors Muwt (Jet Ituny To Meet NeeHlv Children Muitt IH Their Part Too (By Doratha A. Christianl, age ten.) In order tor a country to win the war it has to have three things and that Is money, men and sense. There is different ways to get money. For the Red Cross work people give money. The women and girls can help by sewing and knit ting. Women and men that don't have anything to keep them at home can go as doctors and nurses. People give money to the Y. M. C. A. and this society helps make the soldiers better men. Our country sells Liberty Bonds for money to carry on the war. Another way Uncle Sam gets the money is to put a revenue on some things. Children could do their part by giving some ot their savings. To fit; lit a battle, a country has to have soldiers. Our country has vol unteers and then if they dou't have enough they draft. Theres other soldiers besides the olios that shoot guns. And that is the nurses, doctors and the people at home that do their part. The people In the United Stutos that are helping Germany should be punished worse than they huve been but it takes spies to find out who these traitors are , and the older school children might help in that way as well as the citizens. We can see now better than ever what good schools are. One ot the important things that you learn at school as well as at home is to obey. A battle could not be won if the soldiers did not obey orders. Suppose the soldier would have to shoot the enemy and a mountain was between them, some officers wouldn't know what to do unless they had had proper training. Our big schools put out many trained men and one good thing Is most of them are patriotic. The war calls for Inventions. When the enemy invents something better than what we have, it's our inventors' place to put on their thinking caps and get busy. This need of new things will result In finding new inventors. Many Amer icans are not slow along this line. Some people think that the war will be won by famine. Food is the most important thing in the war and It's the farmers' place to provide it. America has to feed the allies but she can't do it if the families waste food. Mr. Hoover wants the people at home to eat the food that don't keep very long bo meat, flour and such things can be sent to the Allies. He has also taught us how to save and substitute. Children can do their part by eating what's' placed before them, and not complaining. Next year the food question will be just as important as it is this year and for that reason the farmer should be making his plans this fall. He wants to do all the plowing that he can this fall but do not harrow it till spring so that the ground will drink up more moisture and the freezing and thawing will break up the clods and also kill the insects. Children can help more with food than in any other one way because they can raise gardens, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, calves, sheep, pigs, horses, etc. There are many herbs that have been shipped here from the old country to be used for medicine. As many of these grow wild here, children can gather them. In a way they can take the place of the men when help is scarce. Order Your Page Field Fence Now!
