A Fellow Beats on an Empty Shell Case I
They say those who come back from "over there," that when a gas attack is made a cloud
comes rolling along the ground and that the man who sees it first does not stop to put on his gas mask, but immediately begins to beat
a tattoo on an empty shell that the men behind him in the trenches may have time to put on their masks and save themselves. The man who beats on the
empty shell case sacrifices his life that others may live. M

I Keep Harrisburg in the Limelight-Oversubscribe This "Liberty Loan"
Workmen, we should realize that Harrishurg offers every opportunity that any other city
offers for an advancement. Workmen, there is just as big a chance in Harrisburg to make good as there is anywhere else under the
sun. Opportunity sits on the front doorstep of every man here —there is a diamond mine in everybody's back yard. % -
Let's all put our energy right here in our good old town and while we may miss
the plaudits of the world and feel perhaps that the man higher up does not appreciate our efforts, in our heart of hearts
there will be consciousness that we have done our duty for our country—for humanity.
Perhaps in the after years when the boughs bend a little lower—when the leaves fall a little
faster —and the red glow of the sun through the western gate of life grows redder still-—and the little ones climb upon our knee and \
ask about this war of all wars —we can honestly say, "I did not go to the front—but I did do my duty back home—l bought Liberty Bonds —1 stuck on the job
in the shop—l worked in the factory until 1 nearly dropped, but 1 stuck on the job until America won." A little extra effort will bring victory nearer.
