"I desire each man to act and to feel; that on him rests a large responsibility; a responsibility that will aid in the defeat of the enemy who, if victorious, will make our land a desolation and our homes a scene of destruction and pollution. No man in this time of war, should put his personal comfort and convenience ahead of his duty to his country and his home. I will go further and express the hope that all will meet the increased cost of living by, offsetting the same with economy in his daily life as a patriotic contribution to our country at war."
