W i YOU LEND a little for a w I SIXTY THOUSAND OF OUR AMERICAN BOYS lie among the poppies of Flanders' Fields in France. To them onlv is the war over. Thpv have paid the price in full. To countless other thous ands of these boys returning home maimed and broken the war will still go on; they will be paying the price every day, during the remainder of their lives. Can we who stayed at home carelessly and thought lessly assume the "war is over" attitude until our bal ance of account is paid until we have redeemed our pledge to bear the final cost no matter what its amount ?
