Everybody can be an advertising mas for his country—or an advertising woman. One thing this war has done; It has revealed to almost everybody the astounding power of advertising. There Is plenty of patriotism in this country, but it has taken advertising to awaken it —quick. Our liberty loans are monstrous successes, food conservation is a fever, war savings stamps have sold like hot cakes—in fact, every war activity has been a boom of the biggest sort—all largely because of the advertising that has been given them. The newspapers deserve first credit. They have given themselves body and souL from front to back, from top to bottom, to the great task of winning the war. And you can help, too. Have you a window, a square foot of wall space, a side of a barn, or a hack fence or a windshield in which.

PUT THE MESSAGE UP

or on which, you can hang or paste a patriotic poster or paint a sign? (Paint It yourself or get a painter to 1 do his part.) Even the front windows of our homes ought to contain posters —not the little posters, but the big ones. Can you make a speech? Do you advertise in the papers, and can’t you slip “patriotic copy’’ somewhere into your ads? Your county food administrator or your liberty loan committee or your county council of defense will give you posters or suggestions. Ask them. Take trouble. Appoint yourself an advertising committee of one for ypur home or for your store —to help advertise the war. Putting up a poster is next in patriotism to putting up a flag. Taking down a poster is almost traitorous. Tho little bit of advertising help you can give Uncle Sam is one of the most valuable things you can con tribute to the war. r -
