BOYS TAKE HOLD LI GOOD OLD AIM: I'AY, SOU SAYS Hardships Ignored, Wounded Man Tells Mother Don't Let Them Hinder Your War Work By Mrs. Hazel Pedlar Faulkner From a hospital aomewbera ia Franc, a wounded American has writ' ten to bis parents: "We ar. going through hardship, but the boy are taking hold In th. good old American way." What a message for those of n. who have remained at home! What a challenge to tb. vast army of m.a and women who are In the home guard, carrying .on In tha thousand and one way that the exigencies vf war hav. brought upon a. "We are going through hardshlpa." We can believe that, when w. re call the dauntleaa charge which our boy have been making over tear., and the dally lengthening casualty liat which are resulting from their fearless devotion to th. task that is set before them. We know they are going th rough hardship, when we stop to think of the hundreds upon hundreds who are wounded, and who for the time be ing at least need ear. and attention. FIENDISH ENEMY ADDS TERRORS ' Of coarse they are going through hardshlpa, those boy. from your bom. and mine. Hardships are a part of war. They are the inevitable result of a state of war. And when war ia waged by an enemy so atille4 in all the fiendish deviltries la which the Germans hav. Indulged, they are the inescapable portion of every soldier participating. But hardships are not the part of -th. war theae soldiers of oars are thinking most about. They ar. bat th. Incident, in tbe day, work. "Th. boys arc taking hold in the good old. American way." Could there be a better statement of their manner of facing what cornea to them? Could there be a mora def inite course of action prescribed for those of us at" home during these dsys which teat the mettle of our souls? The time for our message to the boys has come again. Th. Fourth Liberty Loan ia to be our response to this wounded soldier's challenge. MAKE YOUR ANSWER NOW Are w. going to take hold In the "good old American way?" We hav. not had to go through hardships, our. hav. 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 us. The good old American way is all' that is asked of us. What is that way? You must tram, the anstrer. moth-, era and sisters of the west Tours Is an important part in the reply which the nation will make to the boys overseas. There is not one of us who would not spare her son if she could yes, even spare somej other mother's son the pain and hardship he must bear. We are not asked to do that. We could not,! though we would. . - But we can make his part easier to. bear, we can go with him throng the hardships, by lending completely. f our money. There is no longer need to explain what a Liberty Loan is. There is no more necessity for pointing out' "easons tor participation in it. Thl.' s the day when but to hear it. call s to Insure its heartiest support. September 28th Is the date set for )sr concerted reply through the Fourth Liberty ' Loan. Let us take hold in "the good old American way." What Is the very most you can do te make that advance a smashing sue ;es like the boy over there ar making? ; BUY A FOURTH LIBERTY BOND Br II. V.
