PUT IRON IN OUR SOULS!
The Spirit of the First Line Trenches

"A little more Iron In our souls."
was the appeal made by Lafe Young
In ties Moines recently, "a little more
of the spirit of our soldiers, a stimulus
that will give us a relentless and un
dying determination to wipe the r
henzollern monster from the face of
the earth."
American people are noted for their
complacency, their seeming willing
nes to enjoy the frulla of their pros
perlty, leaving to others the task f
flulitlng their wnr for them. They do
not stop to realize the enormity of
Germany's crime and the Intense (eri

self preservation, the supreme teat of
our maohooii and our civilization.

FOR THE NEED FOR PROTECTION

APPROACHES AND THE WORK-
, ER TENDS TO REST.
(By John W. Kelly)
Upon a time, there wan a furnier
whose sheep were threatened by coy j
oteB, so he decided to protect them
at night with a high, tight fence. All
day he labored and when evening ap j
proached It was almost, but not quite,
completed. '
The farmer whh fagged, twilight
was approaching anil IiihI' h.I of nail
Ing tip the remaining hoards he drove
1n the sheep and decided to take a
chance. In the morning he discovered
the ravages caused In the flock by the
enemy marauders; the fence he hitd
built for protection rs no protection,
because when Ulllghl came he tailed !
to finish It.
Don't permit your patriotism to sue
cumb to the twilight zone!
In the twilight there is a slacking :
of Industry, a tendency to take things ;
.Indifferently to loaf. ,
Having performed a good day's
work, twilight finds a man tir-d of
