McCORMICK Member Board of Directors Dau phin Deposit Trust Co. - AMERICA SHALL WIN AMONG many excellent pledges which have been drawn up and suggested is the follow ing:: "America Shall WJn Hila War" "Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will fight cheerfully and to my utmost—as if the whole Issue of the struggle depended on me alone." Do we not find in these words what should be, in these days, the chief purpose of every red-blooded American? Not everyone in America can fight in the trenches. EVERYONE CAN WORK Tens of thousands can serve and are serving in the Red Cross. These different lines of activity al-e so fa miliar they need not be mentioned. A few sick and wounded soldiers have returned from the war front to the homeland. These soldiers are coming home every day. The care which they will receive and the financial assistance and other kinds of friendly help for their families will offer splendid opportunity for service for those working in the Rod Cross organization. There are other kinds of service. Many home fires must be kept burning. Churches must be supported and enabled and encouraged to keep at floodtide the spiritual life of those connected with the churches. Hospitals and other charitable organizations must be supported and kept to a high point of efficiency. Let us never be unmindful of the fact that the everyday work of the world must go on. We of the army at home must go about and do our bit and our best with brave hearts. It sometimes requires courage of a higher order to do this than it would to take our places in the trenches and face the enemy. EVERYONE CAN SAVE. The American people have not yet begun § to do this. In England they are only really waking up to what can be done. It has been said many times that Americans are a waste ful people. There is waste in the home, waste in the factory and waste everywhere. There is waste in buying as well as In using. There Is waste of material, waste of money, waste of strength and waste of time. This war will doubtless teach won derful lessons along these lines. EVERYONE CAN FIGHT. Most of us cannot carry rifles or stand behind machine guns, but all of us can fight by proxy and support our fighting men. It is we who are at home who must clothe and feed those who are fighting for us. We must provide them with cannon, machine guns and rifles and ammunition. We must build and equip ships and stand be hind the men who "fight them." We must provide ambulances and build, equip and maintain hospitals over seas and at home. Dugng the first bond campaign, we occasionally heard people say that they could not give Anything for Liberty Bonds. In these days we do not hear this misstatement of fact. Most Americans now realize that in buying bonds and war stamps, they are only lencjlng on the best security in the world and are lending to the best nation upon which the sun shines for the prosecution of a war against a nation which has forfeited the right to be regarded as humane on civilized. Every single cruel and barbarous act of which this nation has been guilty, and such acts have been innumerable, is or should be an argument to every American for buying bonds. Some can buy large amounts of bonds, others only baby bonds, but every home can have war stamps. Everyone of us can have a part In furnishing money to carry on this war. Our government has wisely and is now wisely appealing to the people of America to not only buy bonds but to buy bonds and stamps when it Aeans sacrifice. We are asked to buy and buy and keep on buying until it hurts. Our boys are giving themselves and risking their lives. When the command comes to go "over the top," our boys do not hesitate and say they will consider and see what they can do. LET US BUY BONDS.

If We're Going The Home Fires Burning % We've Got to This war must be fought to a finish on European soil. If it isn't it will be fought out over here. There's no counter-argument to that. No use saying "Germany will be too exhausted to come over here—and be sides Germany could never get her troops here.'' Germany WILL come over here, if she is successful over there—it's part of her big program for world domination. Gerniany said The United States couldn t get its troops over there, with German submarines guarding the seas." But they are over there, and if Germany wins the fight in Europe she WILL 1 come over here. [These are pretty frank statements but this is not the time for mincing words.

We must think of what it will mean to us if the Kaiser dictates the freedom (?) of the United States. We must think of what it will mean to us if the United States is stripped of its democracy. We must think, more than ever before, of the necessity of bringing this war to a successful conclusion on European soil. Our boys are over there ready to die to preserve our liberty—they need guns —ammunition —airplanes—and every implement of war that will help them achieve their purpose. All these things require money. • We must see that it is provided. Uncle Sam doesn't demand it as the Kaiser would. He asks us to loan it to him— t ■, *• WE MUST BUY LIBERTY BONDS £very man, woman and child must do their utmost —a "bit" won't do any more. Every one must dig down deep—till it hurts—and buy Liberty Bonds to the last dollar. Do that and our boys over there will "keep the home fires burning" over here.
