You're1 loyal ' per 100 cent. ; You intend to you want to -help win the war in a hurry. "Sacrifice? Sure," . you've been thinking. "Just you wait till they really need it." And you've honestly thought you meant that too. But look yourself in the- eye, now, and search up and down inside of your heart-.-vdid, , -you mean it? Did you , really mean "sacrifice". .";".. Listen you feel poor. This third Liberty loan, the high prices, the Income Tax -you've done your bit. You feel that you've given all you can spare. .What? Then what did you mean? What's that you said about loving' your country? What did you think the word .? 'sacrifice" means? t...., J ' ..
