Caissons When Horses Died. ^
There are many tales of heroism in S
the fighting in France. One con- \
corns a number of boys, belonging to jt
artillery group, which as a result /
constant fire found itself short of /
ammunition. The lads had volun
to make a three-mile trip down \
the road, every inch of which, was \
shell-swept, in order to bring back a //
esh supply. M
Before the return was completed the
horses attached to their caisson wagon >/
were all killed. That circumstance, 1
however, failed to deter the Americans I
from laboriously drugging the wagon ^7

You have read in the daily papers the story or what one detach
ment of American artillerymen did on the Marne when theirJS
ammunition was running low.
Every shell in that caisson meant a speedier winning of the waffM
—all the horses were killed—but the shells got there just the came. j
And they got there in time. 'jm

Where shall we draw the limit when we read what they are doing
over there? Now is the time to put our full strength into it. Our J1
strength, coupled with the power of our Allies, will win. Let PsIm
not delay even a few days. Let us get there in time to hasten the |
victory—to save the lives of our sons. • A
How can any one of us, back here at home, set any limit to the M
help we ought to give—for victory? And we must get it there |
in time!

On these days everyone will be given an opportunity to step up
and buy bonds without being solicited to do so. Places will be
designated where volunteer subscriptions will be received. 1 hese
| places will be announced*in the papers and by signs. Your card
will be on file there. Cards of those who do not volunteer will
be used for active solicitation, which will begin Monday, Sep
tember 30th. No one will be overlooked.
Do not wait for some one to come after your subscription. Show
that you, too, can volunteer for your Country's service, just as
our boys “over there" did.
\
Figure out now the very maximum you can subscribe. Be ready
when Volunteer Days come. This is no time for half-way
measures. Half-way measures won’t push our boys across the*
Rhine. It is up to us to buy bonds with every uninvested dollar
we own, plus every dollar we can save by careful, frugj living!
for six months to come.
You don’t have to pay all cash for your bonds. You can make
your first payment from cash in the bank, and take care of the
balance out of your daily, weekly or monthly savings.
The forced saving you do now will mean a nice nest egg later,
for the bonds you buy now and pay for as you go along, will
prove a splendid investment that will pay you a good interest
every six months. After the war, the bonds will be worth more
than you paid for them. Don’t hesitate to do your duty and do
it quickly. “Don’t let the SON go down.’*
