[t is a great factory, and unless it can ret about 2,000,000 from each generation for raw material, some of these actor: es must close out, and its oper,tions must be thrown on a cold world, nil the public revenue would d.\\indle. 'Wanted— 2,ooo,ooo boys" is the letice. One family out of every five aust contribute a boy to keep up the apply. Will you help? Which of our "boys will it be ? The Minataur [ Crete had io have a trireme full of ir maidens each year ; hut the Min;aur of America demands a city full P boys each year. Are you a father ? aye you contributed a boy ? If not ima other family has to give more mn its share. Are you not selfish, >ting to keep the saloon open to •md up boys, and then doing nothing keep up the supply ?
