Smoking Out Slackers.
The papers are telling of a western
Kansas pastor who has hit upon the
proper way to smoke out the slackers.
In one of the recent war fund drives a
meeting was held at which the pastor
rose and said: "We are assuming that
all of you are Americans, otherwise
you would not be at this meeting. We
assume that all Americans stand back
of the boys who are fighting for us.
Now we are not going to ask how many
of you will give to this fund. All we
want to know Is how many are not go
ing to give. All those who are not
going to give anything will please
stand up." You know the rest.—Kan
