Uncle Suin is mighty big and strong
but he is not so big and strong that
he can afford to break a promise
't here is not a real American in this
t i.imtry who would not fight to make
good one. of Uncle Sam’s promises
When Uncle Sam says anything, that
means that his loyal sons and daugh
ters have said it. The honor and
Interests of this splendid nation are
in the keeping of its splendid cit
izenry.
Here is the proposition: "We
have promised to grubstake the Al
lies. Wt said. “You do not need to
l:irm—you fight!"
They did nnt farm, but how they
did fight.
Winter is coming on. There were
few for the sowing and there are
fewer lor the harvest. The pinch has
come. In France they are looking
across the sea and saying: "How
about that grub-stake. Uncle Sam;
how about that grub-stake?”
They are not whimpering, these
Frenchmen, they are not that kind
but they are hungry and if we fai
them with our "grub-stake” the>
ill S-T;A-R-V-E! Thousands of them
- men. women, and little children.
Unawin at a mere promise wil
{of hel^ ts'. :n. Nothing will hel]
them but food.
It is food that will win the war.
Tow arc. we going to get it?
We are going to save it—save i
to save our pals, because that’s wha
the allies are- in this fight.
We aip going to make good c
