Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 147, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1917 — Mobilize Yourself. [ARTICLE]

Mobilize Yourself.

Mobilize yourself. Speed up. Cut out your wastes. The idler is an ener my of the republic. So is the waster. Mr. Plumber, when you go to John Easyman’s house to stop a leak, and forget to take your tools with you, and charge him up with a dollar’s worth of time while you are getting them," you are subtracting from his ability to pay for the Liberty bond that he has subscribed for, and you have been guilty of an unpatriotic negligence. ■ Mister Hlghrbller, yvhen you are spending a night along the Great White Way you are consuming luxuries which represent the labor of men who should be growing wheat or something that is essential. * Mr. Joyrider; why should you burn gasoline that the transport service needs and serves no useful purpose to you? Mistress Mary, consider what slavery to fashion means in the consumption of wool, cotton, flax and labor. 1 There are many ways of self-mobilization, and each one doing his bit. —Engineering and Mining Journal.
