A Word to the Doubting Dodgers 



Who Haven't Added Their Bit 

 to the S. A. F. Advertising Fund 



HAMP LAWRENCE is a town character up 

 our way. 

 That is, be and bis horse are. 



The horse is gray. 



So is Uamp. 



The horse does about as he pleases. 



Hamp says about what he pleases. 



Last week they put the new bell in the Pres- 

 byterian Church. Just as they started giying it the 

 first try-out ringing, along came Hamp and his 

 horse. With the first stroke of the bell, the old horse 

 pricked up his ears and snorted. With the second, 

 he up on his hind legs and then plunged into a mad 

 gallop down through town, across the track, up the 

 big hill by the school-house, and never stopped till, 

 as Hamp said, " he was clean did up." 



First thing Hamp did when they both came 

 jogging into town again, was to look up Deacon Had- 

 den, and ask him "where they bought the bell." 

 Said he " vv anted to get one like it, so every time 

 he came to town he could start the old boss going 

 with it. 



"Reckoned it would be cheaper than buying so 

 many new gads." 



When I heard the fellows, sitting on nail kegs 

 down at the corner store, tell about it; at once 

 popped into my mind, why not borrow old Hamp's 

 bell, and see if we can't slart some of the Doubtful 

 Dodgers doing their bit for the S. A. F. Advertising 

 Fund ? 



Strange isn't it, that when it's so plain how 

 every dollar, that every man puts into that fund, is

going to help every dollar he has in his business, to 

 make more dollars ; that every one of the 12,000 in 

 the business don't dig right down in their jeans and 

 cheerfully add their bit? 



Some are putting off putting in, by using the 

 excuse that they "don't understand all there is 

 about it." 



They don't need to understand. 



That's the Finance and Publicity Committees' 

 end of it. 



Read the names of the Committees below. Every 

 one of them is a keen business man. Men who have 

 done things; are doing things; and are going to see 

 that this advertising is done the very best way it can 

 be done. 



Don't think for a minute that there are any fat 

 jobs for anyone in it ; or that you are going to help 

 pay for the furnishing of a swell office. 



Your money and everybody's money, will be just 

 as carefully spent by these men as if they were 

 spending their own money for their own business. 



That's why they are on the Committees. 



Don't put off giving because you don't feel you 

 can give as much as some. 



Give what you can, if only a few dollars. 



Your few dollars, added to a few more dollars 

 from a few more, and first thing you know the 

 $60,000 will be all paid in, and those fine full page 

 advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post will 

 be busy telling 10 million people to buy more plants 

 and Sowers. 



Send your money to any one of the Finance 

 Committee.
