that of drawing lots to see which OF the two COM

While the first duel under a code fought in the
eleventh century, dueng is only evolution of the

TIE SAL ATION ARMY
HARVEST FESTIVAL

Have you ever heard of a poor, trou-
bled, sorrowful, perplexed, hopeless
man or woman appealing fruitlessly
to the Salvation Army? Do You know
that something like 100000 just such
people are upheld by this wonderful
organization? Do you know that in
twenty-three different homes fallen wo-
men are each year restored by the
score to honor and a life of useful
purity? Do you know that in three diff
ferent Ravens little children, all the
way from nursing babes to sturdy boys
and girls, are being succored? Do You
know that scattered over the country
are seventy-eight shelters in which
nightly some 5000 homeless, often hope
less, men or women are cared for? Do
you know that these institutions rep
resent but mere fraction of the char
liable work successfully carried on by
the Salvation Army in the United
States?
How is this enormous expense to be
met? Fools and ignorant know-ails
will perhaps explain to you that the
Army is in and of itself a sort of bo-
nanza class-corporation, and of truth
it would needs be if out of it's own re-
sources it carried On the stupendous
Undertakings it dares. But the intelli-
gent man or woman of today knows too
we'll the Salvation Army under too
many conditions, and through too many
seasons to listen to such folly.
The Army just now is making a spe-
cial effort to raise funds, and they are
asking for not only cash, but articles
that can be converted into cash.

has depended more fully upon the good
offices and charitable warmth of the
public than the Salvation Army. Hap
PLY we are not an ungrateful people,
nor a people slow to realize or appre-
ciate great deeds. That is why we
have right to feel sincere interest
in everything the Salvation Army I'M
dertakes, and that is why we all now
take an interest in the Armys ap-
preaching annual harvest festival, Sep
TENDER % to 25.
Anything and everything of any act
uaI utility may be given as an offering
at this festival, for what may not be
locally useful may be of high practical
value in less favored parts in the
Army's national field. There is, in fact,
a saying, humorous. but true, that the

for people and things that no other
body in creation would consider.
Remember the dates, and remember
the cause to be furthered; be generous
and you will nurse no regrets.
