We need you and you need us. You need us to interpret a large segment of our population to you and you to a large segment of c«r ppulation. The necessity for this interpret ation must be apparent to all thoughtful men and women every where in the world. Men who evaluate contemporary history ar e saying that the old. out modeled racial attitudes are gone forever, and that in the POST WAR world, dark men must share in the civilization of the whole earth. They are saying that the old Imperialism that has been will be no more and that dark men will share with all other breeds, “some of the Good Things of Earth”. In this appreciation and practice America should lead the world. Were she to do so. she would but be liv ing up to her professions of a cen tury and a half, and to her promises made in her sacred pronouncements and solemn legal compacts. And dark men, on their side of the case should be generous and just so that they may in large measure shape the fortunes of mankind, so as to avoid the tragedies which have beset mankind from the beginning. In this crusade, the press must lead, and in this locality we would have one hundred thousand readers with whom we could commune on this lofty theme of brotherhood and Service and peace and good will. The task cannot be left to other hands and other days; it must he done now, to save the human race from destruction, to say nothing a bout what we call civilization. ***** WORKERS, SAVE VOI R MONEY WAR WAGES WILL END The other day a defense worker was complaining that it cost him too much to go back and forth to Wahoo to work, saying that out of [$200,00 per month he had only $I6S left each month. Formerly, the man had received $100 per month from other employment and he then thought he was well paid. He sav ed a little out of the $100.00 each month. We wonder what he is sav ing now'. He is typical of other workers. Are you saving your money through the purchase of bonds or otherwise? Please save it, because the wrar will be over one of these days, and God only knows what awaits us then. Certain it is there will be a per iod of readjustment as we go back to the ways of peace from a war time economy, and those months, maybe years, will be full of care, even danger. SAVE SOMETHING EACH MONTH to meet the trying days ahead. Do not go up into the clouds be cause of high wages now. Keep your feet on the ground, every mo ther's son of you. For as sure as death and taxes, a long rocky road awaits your tread. We shall work our way out of it: yes, but the working will be hard and the privations great, after the end of the war. Save something from your earn ings NOW!

A MESSAGE TO GALLOWAY (Continued from page 3) observe things and events, and write what I pleased about them. As long as my column was in the of fice by nine in the morning I had nothing else to do. I received space rate and expenses. I had nothing to sell. Nobody to solicit. And did not even have to disclose my identity. Just have a good time and write a bout it. Well I wrote. And I had the good time. But what would a fellow do down where “wine, women and song” was the chief and prine menu on the bill-of-fare. Of course, I did it. And in less than a year 1 was a specimen for the learned doc tors to experiment upon in the gen eral hospital. When they thought I was about to die they shipped me back to America but. oh, boy. they should see me now. I’ve fallen a way to a couple of ton but even this is evaporating fast as I trudge these Omaha streets, without the "wine, women and song” seeking and searching for little bits of human interest material to fill this message to you each week. I’ll keep on searching. Will you keep on read ing the message? Until next week, then, Au Revoir! -CCM A number of your subscribers, o'.

'■•c=cx=ocSooooo! DO YOU WANT A BABY? New Vitamin Combination Brings Hope to Childless Homes Nothing equals a baby to bring com plete unity and happiness into the home and tie husband and wife together in a stronger bond of enduring love and mu tual interest. Divorce is rare in the homes if couples that have children. Unhappy wives, childless due to relieve able functional weakness may now enjoy the desires and activity of Nature’s most wonderful creation—a normal, fully-de veloped, vigorous woman. A sensational new vitamin treatment specifically for women may be just the thing needed by the childless wife and quickly bring the happiness of a baby in the home. It is, of course, absolutely harmless. If you are childless due to functional weakness and lack normal vigor—if you wish to eliminate one of the great causes of unhappy marriages, by all means try Perlex for one week. To introduce this new vitamin combination to a million women quickly, the Perlex Company, 1207 Southern Bldg., Chicago, Illinois, will send a full $2.00 supply for only $1.00 and a few cents postage. Send no money —just your name and address. Perlex comes in a plain wrapper—directions are very simple and no diet or exercise is required. Write today as this offer is fully guaranteed.
