Strauss, One Hundred and Forty-Two Years of Labor and Struggle THE American people fought their first battles (or liberty and the rights of self government one hundred and forty-two years ago. ^ At that tune, and for many yean thereafter, their realization of their national r spirationt and of the goal toward which they were really striving was vague and indistinct. But step by step they struggled onward and upward toward a light which grew clearer as tkeir eyes and minds slowly opened to its significance. Today, as a result of their strug? gles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy our priceless American institutions. ?J These . institutions must be preserved. The structure so laboriously reared in these one hun? dred and forty-two years will be utterly destroyed if we do not spring to its defense with every atom of our energy and determination. This is not a situation which may be trifled v \ or evaded, or put off. It is ore which must be met now?today ?no matter what sacrifices it may entail, or what the cost may be.

How Do Your Sacrifices Compare With These' THE American boy who goes to war gives up the position which means so much to his future, or the little business which has just begun to show promise of success. He severs home ties; gives up home comforts; leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart He faces the probability of being obliged to take up life anew when he returns; of losing all the advantages which years of hard work have won for him. He faces the possibility of coming back in? capacitated for earning a living, and of being dependent upon his friends or upon charity. He faces the possibility of never coming home at all. Facing these things, he goes to France to fight for us who remain safely at home ? and when the moment comes for him to go over the top ?he GOES! What will he thin\, how wili he feei, if we complain because we are asked to make a few sacri? fices for him ? sacrifices so insig? nificant when compared with his? Show him that to invest in Liberty Bonds is not a SACRIFICE but a PRIVILEGE ?an appre? ciation of his sacrifice! And When You Buy? Buy! This Space Paid For and Contributed By O DONNKLL & COMPANY.
