s— — v - X? ■■■— j Somebody’s Dollars Will Do It— I Wonder H They’ll Be Yours T 1 ? By Bruce Barton ’ I L I WILL tell you what will happen some KJ night this winter in France. Some night when its cold and dark. There lb will be a rustling through the front line Jk trench, where our boys stand guard. And a heavy ladened Secretary will make iftx his way along. tt In his hands will be great steaming *z \ pots: in his pocket chocolate and cigarettes. p From one man to another he will go, nW passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands that tremble with the cold; bringing the K comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke. fcZmM Men will hail him cheerily, slapping him on back; and when he has gonetvKHjjw ~ things will be a little easier in that trench because he has passed that way. zk J How much will it cost to make that Zw trip, do you suppose? Counting the pittance that the Secretary is paid, and H VJ the cost of the chocolate and the ciga- k ' rettes and all? Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars? . . Am I do not know. But whether it is five dollars or I LI twenty-five, I’d like to think that it is wp ' J my five or twenty-five—wouldn’t you? That some night when it’s cold and lonesome, my money and yours might send a Zw Secretary out along that front line trench. Let’s make up our minds that we are J W/ going to pay for a score of those trips. W A score of the nights this winter shall be x our nights M —nights when the boys greet joy- in ously the chocolate and cigarettes that W/ our money provided; and are happier KJ because our representative has passed.
