Speaking about joining the
army, we heard a gentleman say
the other day that he thought the
man who had a dependent family
owes higher duty to his country
than fighting for foreign lands.
That is the duty Of providing for
the support of those who are de-
pendent on him. 1t often takes a
Drawer man to fight the battle of
life single.handed through adver.
sity for his family than it does to
join an army and follow the war
drum and the flag to the lannon's
mouth. Now let us stop long
enough to say that's our senti-
ment exactly. Hollow bravo as
often as you please, when volun-
teers enlist; and then when you
see a man taking care Of his neigh
boris children, left penniless by
these "brave boys" it is time to
liftsyour hat. He is the one who
deserves to be praised.-EX.
