7 and the Navy - Huns Grave, 1/ i! \ ), I\ . .} A ‘¢ Must Furnish the Spade’sm sunday By REV, WILLIAM A. SUNDAY -Uncle Sam’s Liberty war chest needs filling ‘ thousand - headed, thousand-horned, thousand-fan ed pirate i of the air, assassin of the seas, despoiler of the earth and am-: in! agen v bassador of Helll _ We have the cash to fill it as many times as " ¢ o : he lifts the lid. ‘ The armz and navy will dig the grave, but 4 T LR T e e we must furnish the spade. There are only two horns to this dilemma— ; you are either a patriot or a traitor. The men on the firing line and on the battle- ships have turned from business, home, mother, wife, chil- dren, and they stand ready to %ive their lives and shield with " Our boys will soon hafif crape on. the door of the Potsdam Palace, and the lbands will’ play Yankee:Doodle and Dixie along the Rhine. : Uncle Sam is the cactus in the Kaiser’s pillow. ome. & their bodies us who remain at We are unworthy to be thus protected, if we do not do our utmost to sustain them. We must be one in our determination to win this war. We are traitors to the cause for which they are iving their lives, if we do things here that make their efforts i+ harder. ; . Our Boys have gone over to clean up on that fool bunch of Huns and it is up to us to supply them with whatever they need to finish the job. It takes money to keep the riveters riveting — thie sawyers sawing — the machine guns spittihg bullets and the grub wagon always on hand with the eats. There is nothing too\good for our brave defenders. Our vocabulary contains no words adequate 0 express our approval of the achievements of our gavern- ment since we threw our hat-in the ring. We are rich on top Life is not worth living unless there “is some- thing to live for. Life would not be worth living if that bunch of Heinies should win. ; That is why they cannot win. That is why we cannot lose. . ol o What 2 mountain of crime God has on his books against that horde of Hellish Huns. What grave is deep enough for this thousand -armed, thousand - footed, of the ground; we are rich under the ground and our rivers creep like silver serpents to the seas, bearing our.products. _ The children of England, France, Italy and Belgium are laughing once more because they are being fed from Uncle Sam’s bakeshop. One carload of meat every two minutes, one hog out of every four, nine million pounds of - meat a day—all going over to feed our boys. We are in this scrap to the last dollar, the last grain of wheat, the last day. - We will never stop until Germany dips her dirty blood-stained rag to the _}%@ars and Stripes. It’s a whale of a job we’ve tackled, but we can and must put it over. 3 2 ¢ But you must help‘; o e " Don’t whine. Don’t knock. You 'can’t saw wood with a hammer. Don’t turn the hose . . on the fire; add fuel. ~ : : = Buy Bonds! Buy Bonds ! This Space Contributed to Winning the War by B’uy: Bonds! FARMERS STATE BANK 5 SECURITY STATE BANK GUST. BROWN 0. G.
