It was the millions who took *he
little bonds, straining a point to do so,'
buying them on the installment plan
when they could’nt buy them outright
and it was these who gave the coun-
try at this great time the best assur-
ance of the patriotism and the devo-
tion of its people.
And it is the many,Jittle acts of pa-
triotism, by the millions who for a
great many reasons cannot make the
great sacrifices, it is these who
emphasize that fact.
The little acts of patriotism! We
are constantly coming across one of

have enough on hand when the new

These are only a few of many in-

school hours in order to pay 'off a
bond he is buying. I know of twn
little girls who have volunteered to
go without Christmas presents in or-

soldiers abroad. I could go on almost
indefinitely telling of such little acts
of patriotism, just as the rest of us
can. Those who are doing them do|
not expect any notice, however. They
are sorry they can’t do more, they are
full of generous admiration for those
who are making the big sacrifices,
giving everything.

MANUFACTURERS PROTEST
NEW EXCESS PROFITS LAW
Austin, Texas, Dec. 7.—A formal
protest has been made by the leading
manufacturers of Texas to A. B. Wal-
ker, collector of internal revenue for
Texas, against certain provisions of
the new income excess profits law.
The manufacturers desire a modifica-
tion of the law in many respects. At
a conference with Collector Walker
the manufacturers pointed out how
they considered that the law in its
present shape would work an injustice
on many of the manufacturing inter-
ests of the state. The protest will be
taken to Washington in an effort to
have the law changed during the pres-
ent session of congress. The protest
will be presented by a committee com-
posted of J. A. Kemp, a manufacturer
of Wichita Falls, and Gus W. Thofn-
asson of Dallas, secretary-treasurer of
the • Buy-it-Made-in-Texas Association.
