The Victory is a call work-- ~~ Respond from your heart WINNETKA GROCERY WINNETKA MOTOR COMPANY PHILIP J. HOZA TO-OPERATIVE GROCERY WINNETKA MARKET A. Peters, Proprietor Liberty Loan to finish this J. F. ECKART HARDWARE CO. ARTHUR J. RUDOLPH WINNETKA PHARMACY ADAM'S PHARMACY P. W- BRADSTREET MARTHA S. VOLTZ ; \ AWN AN \ \\ A HE great purpose which lay back of the war was far too vast a task for any one body of men to put through to a finish. . Qur soldiers have done--are doing -- their part. God knows "we never wanted them to do more. But what of us? Winning the war was the in- itial step toward a wo'ld peace and prosperity of which hitherto we had never dared to dream. But it was only a step. The work of the most glori- ous armies of all history placed us on the threshold of an open door. A new world o unlimited possibilities lies beyond. They could not bring it to us. They could only shew it to us, and its vast worth-- and give their lives to do it, if that were needed. It is our task to finish this work. They showed us the way and passed on-- perhaps to new worlds to conquer. And whether we wi 1 or not, the solemn obliga- tion to finish their work has fallen upon us. "If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep--though poppies bloom In Flanders fields." Your patriotism and mine was not buried in those graves in Flanders fields. There is still work to do-- for our country, for ourselves, for our children. Else the war will have tailed in its purpose -- anda millions of young lives will have gone out on a vain quest.
