"A great net of mercy drawn through
an ocean of unspeakable pain"
"I'm afraid that's all I can spare"
You're a regular, red-blooded, true-blue Ameri
can. You love your country. You love that flapping,
snapping old flag. Your heart thumps hard when
the troops tramp by. You're loyal 100!
You intend to you want to help win the war
in a hurry.
" Sacrifice? Sure," youVe been thinking. "Just
you wait till they really need it." And you've hon
estly thought you meant that too.
Butlook yourself in the eye, now, and search up and down in
side of your heart did you mean it? Did you really mean "sacrifice" 3!
Listen : You feel poor. This third Liberty Loan, the high prices,
the Income Tax you've done your bit You feel that you've given
all you can spare.
What ? Then what did you mean ? What's that you said about
loving your country? What did you think the word "sacrifice" means?
Surely you didn't mean, did you, to give only what you can Spare ?
What ab out our boys who are giving their lives in the trenches?
Are they giving only what they can "spare" ?
How about those mothers and little "kiddies" in the shell-wrecked
towns of that war-swept hell: hungry ragged sobbing alone?
Giving up their homes, their husbands, their fathers.
While we over here with our fun and our comforts we hold up
our heads and feel patriotic because we have given what ? Some
loose bills off the top of our roll. "We've given all we can spare I "
Come, come ! Let's quit fooling ourselves. Let
us learn what " sacrifice " means. Let us give more
than we can spare let us "give till the heart says
stop."

Soldiers Need Dish Towels and Rags
Mrs. W. H. Herren and Mrs.
S. W. Spencer have returned
from Seattle, where they attend,
ed the Red Cross convention last
week. The ladies visited Camp
Lewis while on the Sound and
report that the sold ers there are
in great need of dish towels and
rays. A number of the boys
made urgent personal appeals to
the Heppner ladies for these ne
cessities, and as representatives
of Morrow County Chapter they
agreed to collect a shipment at
ones and send them direct to
Camp Lewis instead of through
the lied Cross headquarters in
Seattle.
Any kind, color or fabric that
will serve for dish towels and
other purposes for which rgs
are needed will be welcome if
they are clean. Ladies of the
county are requested to gather
up every scrap ttiey can possibly
spare, wash them and bring or
send them to Ked Cross head
quarters at once, as a shipment
will be made early uex week.
This is important.
