WHY YOr SHOULD BUY A WAR SAVINGS STAMP ! j In givin? a subject to the three- J schools in which I gave medals I j suggested that the class take the sub-! ject above this article. Or rather that! was practically the subject at Little! Mountain and Whitmire but at Pros-j oerity Prof. Benenbaugh had already j assigned another subject, but on a patriotic line. MUs Swittenberg at little Mountain cuonged the wording slight'y bur it means the same, Why I Should ba a loyal Patriot. I am printing three of the essays j of three of the girls at Little Moun- i tain and they are appropriate at this j time at the opening of the campaign : for the sale of War Savings Stamps, i becaue they are on that line. They are printed in the order In ; which they were graded by the committee that passed upon their merits and awarded the medal. The name of the writer is signed to each paper. E. H. Aull. Why I Should Be a Loyal Patriot On April 6. 1917, the people of th? , United States, through their 'presi-' dent, Woodrow Wilson, entered this' great world war on the side of inter-! national justice, universal peace and | world-wide democracy. It is now the duty of every American citizen, men, woman or child to do everything in his power to preserve his country and be a loyal patriot. A loyal patriot is any citizen, American, Frenchman or German, who loves his flag and the country for which it stands enough to sacrifice anything he possesses, even his liie, if necessary. Just beneath the folds of every American's breast there burns tu?t innate fire known as patriotism, whether it be great or small, strong or weak. Love for one's' country i~ natural. When war was declared with Germany there were Germans in the United States who loved their mcthe" country bettor than the ont; in v.hifh ,Hpv wprp livinsr. although this country was giving them everything for their joy and comfort. I!-. is natural that they . should, because the Jove for their mother country is f born in the hearts cf men. not placed there by the will of others. There has never been a time in the historv of America that men were needed so much as now. This country demands men. patriotic men. and not slackers. Men who are williti? frw sacrifice all thev nossess for tlieir "fatherland," s'o that the iUnited States of America will not be record-, sed on the pages of history as a de-1 teated nation. ! We, Americans, should be loyal patriots for the sake of humanity | and democracy. Unless we lend a "helping hand to the government by loaning and giving our time and money, the nations of the United States and her allies, will come under j the oppression of Kaiserism. which | ? i bas set all Europe aflame. To pre- { vent this we must purchase Thrift and War Savings stamps and liberty j bonds. (But the thing of greater im- i portan-ce is giving our money to the Red Cross to help care for the; wounded soldiers at the front, who are making real sacrifices?their ! lives. If our soldiers are willing to lay down their lives for the cause! and preservation of democracy, we i should be willing to give our money.! By giving our money we are encouraging our fighting men. If they feel that the people at home are do ing all in their power to help them, they will leave for the battle front with -greater hopes and confidence in themselves, feeling that they are not left alone to gain the victory for themselves and others. It is my duty to be a loyal patriot for the sake of 'posterity. Think of the generations to come. Unless the rule of militaryism, plutocracy, aristocracy. and Kaiserism is removed from the power of nations and democracy planted in every country of thA world, the following generations will suffer the cruelest and harshest treatment imaginable from the hands of the German people. ;The thoughts of this seem almost unbearable but the thing itself will be many, many times worse. We cannot conice...e the way of how things will be if this should be the outcome of this great world war. Then if we wish to enjoy the rights of freedom, we must be loyal patriots 'by being true to God, self, and country, and win the victory, so that th3 oppression of Kaiserism may be 'erased from the face of the earth "and democracy reign supreme forever. Ollie Metts. 'Prize essay. Why I Should Be a Loyal Patriot Nineteen hundred and eighteen. The wheel of the century begin3 to turn more swiftly. Nineteen hun dred and eighteen! And the buglsound calls the sons of men from all parts of the world into the battle field. T? *V?*\ riAVAnfVk VAOT? tV?D tttrOnfipth X XX LUC dC v CUlll ? \zUi VHV- V ?? VUV'W?. century saw forty four out of the world's fifty seven sovereign states represented in the second peace con- 1 ference at the Hague for the purpose 1 of 'beginning the civilized nations ] towards the practice of conforming ( to their professions of peace. Like sheer mockery of the Hague 1 peace conference came the desperate ' cruel European war of nineteen hundred and fourteen. Nineteen hundred and eighteen sees this war developed into a world war. 1 It cries out to humanity. It is the 1 cry of democracy against autocracy. 1 Tf is thp crv of freedom aerainst bond- i; age. It is the cry of unborn genera- ' tions. "Make the world a decent 1 place for us to live." Would you 1 have that cooing babe that will be the "man of tomorrow" to say to you: ( "I suffer because you failed -to do your duty"?and what is your duty* Nothing more or less than patriotism : j and patriotism is hard work plu:i 1 self sacrifice. 1 Is America doing her part? She 1 is sending her sons and daughters to ;. | France to do their part there. Sho I ; is leaving the rest of us at home to | do our part here?yes. Ours is a no | ble part and we should do it gladly. I ! Uncle Sam has to have money to !' | carry on the great policy he has beI gun, and he must have it from you. | He does not ask you to give him j' this money, but asks that you lend j ; I it to him. He has devised two! schemes?the Liberty bond and the . Thrift Stamp?and an interest is ! promised on both of these. Think for a moment of how we can help our great country, America, by con- i ' tributing to the Red Cross. We can : not only heip ourselves 'but we can also helu our countrv. 1 ODeny yourselves of the pleasure , r;des that von talce daily. and take , ( this monny that, you would nav.5 ^ bought Jrncoli^e with and give it to the Fed Cross or buy Thrift Stamps , and War Savings iStamps, or give it | to some other v ->rthy cause. I A Scotchman lecturing in this i country, tel^s k- .cry frankly, thai i the peoo^e of American do not real- c i?e as vividly as the Englishman and Frenchman the price we will have to c r.av to win the war. iHe says: "In c X?w Y<">rk T s?? the peonle out pleas- 1 ure riding?if the neoDle of London t go nleasure riding it. means that the i so1 rtiers must die." a tew nours cr i extra work each dav and money is 1 earned for th^ Red Cross. Money i griven to the Red Cross means that . t a mother's son is saved. j ] Put yourself in the 'Scotchman's 1 plane for a moment as lie says: "T 1 sat in mv garden in France and ( listened to the roar of the guns, yes, j he a^ded. war is to some people a 1 beautiful tMntr. To see the troops 1 of soldiers marching down the street . ' to the tune of the band, hut you ;' should see them coming from battle, j1 Th<> band is no loncer 'playine, the 1 f?cos of the soldiers are covered with J d^'st and the?r breasts are covered Tx-Hh b*ood." But the beauty is not j -?!! a at* a?a nf il 1 or? - ? ! ^ 11 turrv ai c 'otin j "Pa~k fn your troubles in your old ! kit bag." These soldiers are fighting for you. ! After the war volumes and volumes j I will fhe written on the important part j ; the Red Cross nurse and the peoplo! that were left behind played?ye3, ours is a noble part and we should do it willingly and gladly. an you think for a moment of i Germany's inhuman treatment of litj tie Belgium and be a slacker? iHow i the kaiser forced his troops through the country devastating the country. After the emperor had refused hi3 i bribes. We are told after the Ger- j j mans passed on, that the Belgians' ? xi 1? i. ~ ! ' came togetner to give maims uu uuu i j for their deliverance. When they 1 came to the line in the Lord's prayer: i "Forgive us our trespasses as we fori i . give those who trespass against us, . all lips closed except those of the' jmperors. People, can you not look on such facts as realities, and not as mere schemes devised to arouse our sympathy? Let us begin today by purchasing i a Thrift /Stamp or War Savings < Stamps or either by buying a Liberty bond. When we do this we are aware of the fact that the country's money is not being horded up by Vandenbils. Astors, and Rockefel {lers. Throw yourself aside for a moment or at least put yourself to the front with heart and soul in this struggle of love against hate. Let us say with Roosevelt's daughter: "If you can't put the 'I' in fight, you can at leas* put the 'A' is patriotism." "T V/i im onil Hrtin? -LitTL Ut> LUtJU UC u iJ uuu 0 With a big heart full of thrift - s And our victory over the Kaiser Will be great and wili he swift." Ada Brady. Second. Why 1 Should Be a Loyal Patriot. In this great crisis there are many ways in which we can help. Thy -rtnot imnnrtant ddp is np"in?T a loval patriot. It is not only the patriotic iuty to our country, but to yourself. This subject, I purpose to treat.naturally falls into these divisions, namely: Love for country is natural. Time like this demands "men." Humanity, democracy, morale, and men are ever needed they are needed low in this world-wide war. It will aever be a time when they are needed and wanted for a (better cause, huiiireds of men have been called from the world of 'producers to become posterity. We are now engaged in the most ireaded war of history. Every individual man, woman and child has a very patriotic duty to perform. Love for our country is natural, we can not help but love it, and will do anything in order that we might keep the enenr- from destroying it. When this great victory is over and the rT?,!iA J tsw. Ttr-i r> c fko Qf QTC UilllCU oiaic^ r> iiio, tiio uiMiu Stripes will wave over our heads everywhere. Times like this demand men. If consumers. They are every one giving their lives, what are you who are at home going to oive? Even if you cannot go to the front and fight you can back them up with supplies and all they need. We are going to show the kaiser that the people in the United States are behind our boys in the war. I believe in the United States of America as a government of the peo pie; bv the people: for the people. If we win the I'nited iStates and her allies will sow the seed of democracy throughout the German empire. If ive lose" the 1'nited States and her illie.-; will soon be in bondage of the [mperial German government. Is not there a man or woman who ivould fail to rlo his or her duty, .0 save the l'nited States government 'rom being in bondage of the Gernan government? We should be patriotic for the sake )f humanity and democracy. There are many ways in which we ?an save our country in this great crisis and these opportunities will )e eagerly grasped; but the greatest, be most sacred duty for us who renain at home is to assure our boys vho go to the front, that they are leroes. every one of them, that they ire performing the greatest duty hat it is possible for a citizen to perform for his country; that they lot only have our love and respect. Dut the gratitude which our country >ffers them shall last forever. Tn nrrtor that nnr valiant sons mav win this victory, we must assure ihem that the people an the United States are behind them and that every one who is in the trenches and on the seas will return home after they have defeated the kaiser. ">Let us stand as one man with ?.?ur whcle hearts behind the men who are to fight our battles in this war and they wil* win. We should be loyal for the sake of posterity. We should 'put forth every effort in helping to win this war. Think of the generations to come after this, what a harsh treatment they would receive from the German people. iPeace! How sweet a word to a world rent by war. When this word can be beard all over the world we will all be happy. Then let us be loyal patriots, so that the United r\ f A tr? Ofi OO tflTJ laM rlnwn uiatco ui ?? a**, wv MW ** v? in history as the v.'rtrrious nation3, over the oppresson of militarism, aristocracy and kaiserism. Luetta Wheeler Colored Committees tm W. S. S.
