We see the portraits of the cream of our young manhood, our boys gone to do their job in the noble service of their country. Over 100 heroes taken from amongst us in this small com munity of the United States represent that indomita ble army of millions that is marching against the forces of evil that seek to destroy the destiny of our democratic nation. When we look into the faces of the lads we know so well, a new resolve inspires us who remain at home to do all we can that they shall not fail. We will buy more bonds, pay more taxes, make more sacrifices, and give our all if necessary to hast en the day of their return and the end of this terrific warfare, that the world may once more live in peace, and in the quiet pursuits of happiness and the honor able achievements of civilization. And in behalf of us who fight behind the lines, we are contributing daily in a hundred ways that the enemy shall not pass, and that the sacred institutions of Christendom shall not be destroyed. We are liv ing in tents, trailer houses, shacks and other crowded spaces. We are denying ourselves of fuel, rubber and foods. We are working on defense projects and in fields and giving long hours and impaired health and vigor. We are giving up our usual ways of American life without grumbling, cheerfully and determinedly that we may hold the blessings of democracy and bring back the usual order of our lives. It may be that we have only begun to make the necessary sacrifices to win the war, but come what may, our determination not to let the boys down will grow stronger, and our power to do more will grow greater. We have only begun to fight. THEY WOULD READ OUR AD TOO. IF IT APPEARED HERE ECHO NEWS ITEMS BOARDMAN NEWS By Margaret Thorpe I Wat— AN S liy Mr». w. H.
