November 1 1 th we again commemo rate the siccnins: of the Armistice which closed the World War. To make peace in the interest of humanity, to lay aside hatred and malice, is the part of great nations, of great peo ple. There are greater dangers however than war or invasion. One is a mode of living which inevitably turns life's free dom into a harrassed existence. Against EXXTRAVAGANCE, pub lic and private, let there be war without armistice! Unchecked, it can from within destrov a whole nation.
