OUR COMMON CAUSE
The universal war problem is
eeping nearer and nearer to our own
iwn, and very soon the time will come
when service banners will be floating
from windows in our streets, denoting
our town has sent boys to the front
In the years past we read and
talked cf wsr as of some passing slu. ;
dismissing it from our thoughts when
our own affairs demanded attention now
it has become our own personal affair,
just as sometimes those of us who have
•een great fires and gaze with awe on
the destruction, suddenly discover our
homes threatened and ourselves
forced to turn to and help.
1 he greatest minds in America are
studying night and day and and advis
the best method by which we all can
help to put an end to the great mons
ter, and even in this insignificant spot
we all can put our shoulders to thd
wheel just as efficaciously as the
soldier in the trenches and the sailor
on the sea. The greater morale already
given to the boys over the water by1
the Sammies advent into France was ,
“ ®uch help as winning a battle
After all, we will only be help- j
ing ourselves, the economies we prac
tise to aid in feeding the starving in
Europe is really providing against our
own starvation in days to. come. The
study and thought we give to enable
us to send more money to the cause,
is making us better men and women,
and lifting us above the pettiness to
which we all are so prone.
In a small town like this, with a long
winter ahead of us, we are really lucky
to have such a great duty to perform,
and we can make every day count, not
only in words and money,but in acts,
for every one can become associated
with some branch of work irrespective
of creed, position or ability.
Each one is interested in the outcome
or he is not a true American, if he is
not he is an eneand should be
treated as such.
