"A WORD Or ENCOURAGEMENT" By Johnnie H. Baker. Our Uncle Sam needs help today Let us be on our way One and all we've heard the call No time now for play. I dreamed I saw the Kaiser sitting on the throne Grinning as though this country was all his own No doubt he does feel it He might as well conceal it As us free born Americans will not give up our home. It makes us feel so very blue To know that this we have to do But let us get together as one good crew And slip over the water and twist them in two. What right have they got to make such a plot To steal the freedom our forefathers bought With their own flesh and blood In the cold and the mud Let us hold our freedom If it takes every dollar andnip3 the last bud. What is money to us in a time of this kind Iet us join the Red Cross and get things in line So when we are ready to go our loved ones may know Relief will be with us where ever we go. I have head it said Uncle Sam was dead And never could raise the crew Hut don't you forget we are here yet And will stick to the Red, White and Blue.

AMERICA'

FRANCE is no longer foreign soil. . She is "Over There" where the heart interest of thousands of American homes is lodged in a first line trench. Mothers tremble at the knock on the .door and pale at the jangle of a bell when the mud-browned letter from Flanders is overdue. The rumble of guns the whistle of shells the shrieks of the mangled the midnight raid of the Taube the hospital shambles the fetid mire of No Man's Land are all without the range of our ear and eye. Yet who will doubt that war is here! Every hostile shell falls in America. The German bullet is far carrying. It burrows the Atlantic on pulsing cables and clicks Death's roster through the telegraph. A uniform need not be made of Khaki Fighting is not limited to age nor sex. Money can make boomerangs of German bullets. We are going to win this war. But the date of victory depends upon us all. . Put a steady hand on the shoulder of a Sammy "Over There" by subscribing to the Third Liberty Loan. Every cent brings the moment of victory nearer.

your share. Take even more than you can afford.
