Better lend Uncle Sam your savings and end the war. zt Mother Know Earle Fickes, a 16-year-old boy of Springfield, Ill., ran from his mother’s home the other day. His mother es he did this to join the army or navy because he ten expressed the wish to her that he could fight for his But she doesn’t know where he is. That’s what makes so hard and fills her nights with sleeplessness and her ys with unsatisfied mother-yearnings to hear from her “If he has gone to fight in the war,” the mother said, will be proud to hear from him. I’m afraid he may have ined under another name and then, if something happens him, I'll never know.” It is only right and natural that mothers should “want to know”’—the best or the worst. Earle, if this meets your eye in some army or naval | training camp, we hope you will write your mother a letter, ' telling her where you are, and then write other letters to her. The one person in all the world most interested and concerned in you and what you do, is your mother. If this doesn’t reach Earle, and is read by other boys who have not written their mothers—who ran away from ‘mother and home to join the army or navy, we ask them to take unto themselves the advice we have just given | Barle Fickes. It is just possible that you may not be able | te write your mother many more letters, and if that hap- ag) the most prized thing she will have in all the rest of life will be your last letter.
