I SK YOUR IMAGINATION.
%
America has been told many times that we will win
the war with men. with food, with ships and with money.
,\n anonymous philosopher has added another instrumen
tality for winning the war. He says that we will win it
with our imagination.
On first thought this statement seems silly but it is
not so. We are employing our imagination all the time in
connection with our war duties. For instance, very few
•persons know from actual expi rience how much a million
is. and to try and comprehend a hundred million requires
he keen use of the imagination. If you have a slice of
bread to spare you know that it will keep the spark of life
within the body of a starving child for several hours.
Your imagination will tell vou how many children wouid
l»e kept fr< ut starving to death by a hundred million slices
of bread. We could save for starving peoples in Europe
that vast quantity of bread eve>*y day in the year without
real self-privation. Is your imagination capable of tell
ing vou how much we could save in one year if even
American gave up one slice of bread each day?
We of Alaska have not learned to put the real value
upon a red copper cent. Too many of us regard it as
worthless—as a sort of a nuisance which we have been
called on to endure. But suppose that every American
saved one cent a day? That v ould be $1,000,000. In one
year it would amount to $3t>.">.000,000, and we can only com
prehend that vast sum by the use of our imagination.
Carry this idea into the numberless things in which
we could make a little saving every day and then try to

imagine, if you can, how much we can do collectively to
help win the war.
The North is certainly doing it’s share in the supply
of men for the war service. Sixty more coming 1 rom An

steamer before. This section is doing it s bit.
