Show BACK UP YOUR ENTHUSIASM BY f SHOWING YOUR AMERICANISM IS NOT ALL ON THE SURFACE Editor Standard: I understand that the committees soliciting throughout the city for the War Work campaign fund are not meeting with even fair success and it is disgusting to contemplate con-template such a condition of affairs. Why was there such a great demonstration demon-stration on last Monday? It was sup posed to be a demonstration of Joy over the results of tho great work our boys have done overseas and it seems that the majority of those who were letting off the biggest yawps and who have filled the Jobs at big wages of the brave lads who wont over,- cannot ; back their enthusiasm with a single red j cent to show their appreciation. Oh, jno! It must be left for the relatives of these boys and tho public spirited citizens who have met every demand in this great struggle and who will do ihrlr full sharo this time. We who have sent our boys must send them money occasionally for their little ?30 per month is almost cut in tvo to pay for $heir insurance and the Liberty bonds, which most of the brave fellows J hfivo subscribed for. Andtfmany of them I left good homes and good positions to, i enlist to protect us. j We aro not going to let Ihera bo, without a warm, decent place for rest I and recreation, If we can help it. But thero are a largo number of men and women, young and old. who have been directly benefited by big pay on account ac-count of this war who should show t their good will by coming forward ; right now with deeent contributions I and should not wait to be solicited, j Call lip the newspaper offices and find' out where to bring your money and let it be a decent liltlo amount while you are about it. Wear the button that will be presented to you and show that) when your victorious lads come j marching home you will havo some . consistent right to cheer and pat them1 on the back and say: "We wero with vou, bovs." Let vor.r slogan be, as it) alwavs should be, "OGDEN OVER THE TOP." 1 1 |
