One letter like the one we print
this week written by Rev. w. S.
Hendricks outweighs all of the
abuse and SANDER that can be
heaped upon our head in his life
time by the little lie-swearine
scoundrel who writes the filth
with which the columns of The
Times are filled.

In Memory of Mother.

LydiaeJ. Reese was born De-
cember 29th, 1885, in Cooke
County, Tennessee. Was baptized
in infancy; protested faith in
Christ and united herself with the
Evangelical Lutheran Church at
the ageFofs14,tand remained in
same until death. She was we'd
dedsto Moses V. Meas at the age
OF seventeen, and by this union
nine children were born, five boys
and four girls, six of whom are
living. She. fell asleep June 10th,
1914, aged 70 years, 5 months and
II days. She was taken from
MorriStown, Tenn, (where she
died) to Salem, her home church,
for burial. Services were con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. Roof.
On sunny.day in June,
When all earth was bright and gay,
From Heaven came message
And Mother went away.
To dwell with God up yonder,
In his country bright and fair,
To live through all eternity
In His tender love and care.
Through the months and years We'll
miss her,
Though we question not Gods will,
Had it no: been His to call her
Mother would be with us still.
Though our hearts are crushed and
longing
Fills our souls from day to day,
To dwell again at the old home
, Ere Mother went away.
We would be in the old home at evan
ing.
A circle uhbroken again,
But Gods way is best and He called
her,
Away from all sorrow and pain.
He knew best when her mission was
ended,
He knew when her work was all
done,
He knew when to call her to Heaven
To receive the crown she had won.
Where the flowers in liie's garden are
blooming,
Over on that bright happy shore,
Mothers joined the band of loved ones
Where there's parting never more,
For there's naught but joy and glad
ness,
Inside Heavens jewelled strand,
Mothers living in Gods country,
Over in that happy land.
So beneath the sheaves of flowers
On this bright June day. Z
We leave Mother sweetly sleeping
Meath the roses and the clay.
Der her tomb the sunbcams falling,
On The flowers wet with dew,
Sprinkled with the tears from Heaven
| Angels in sympathy so true.

OPPORTUNITY

In these days it should be easy for
boys and girls to secure an education
when there are books galore and a
treatise on every subject.
With modernly equipped schools in
every vale and on every hill top, with
the latest and fullest equipment of re-
cent books, nice patent seats. large
maps, blackboards, globes, charts, etc
etc, there is no reason for any child
to grow up without an education.
In those days Of poorly developed
conditions, when the children attended
school in an old log schoolhouse
chinked and daubed with mud, without
bell, without maps, charts. globes,
and many other things of this day,
which we consider necessities now.
havingpuncheons for seats Ii. c. logs
split in slabs with auger holes bored
at angles, into which were driven
round pieces of wood about Is inches
long which served as legs). A very
rude seat as compared with the pat
ent desk seats OF today. Yet the stu
dents of those days, as jefferson,
Adams, Jackson, ETC, managed 10
secure sufficient education through the
use of this rude equipment to en-
able them TO be elevated to the presi-
dency.
Today our opportunity is far su-
perior, our equipment next to perfect,
yet we find some young men and wo-
men at the age of maturity entering
the business world without education
remarkable indeed.

ACUTE INDIGESTION

81 was annoyed for over a year by
attacks of acute indigestion, follow
ed by constipation" writes Mrs. NJ.
j. Gallagher, Geneva, N. Y. 81 tried
everything that was recommended to
me for this complaint bu nothing did
me much good until about four months
ago | saw Chamberlain's Tablets adj
vertised and procured a bottle of
them from our druggist. ! soon re-
allied that had gotten the right
thing for they helped me at once.
Since taking two bottles of them
can heartily without any bad effects. "

81 make these" he told me, "for
the pleasure of making good thing.
Bradford can do nothing better; but
there isn't an American woman alive
who wouldn't prefer that Bradford
made the cloth in her suit, rather
than Massachusetts"
have had spread before me as
beautiful designs for summer con-
tons as were ever made, and heard
the manufacturer say with longing
in his voice:
az we could but put these into
fire, soft fabrics! but the American
woman will not buy expensive Gomcs-
tic goods. She demands the foreign
mark"
As pliablc, durable and beautifully
finished silks as there are in the
world can be made here in quantities.
But where is the American woman
who boasts that she wears American
silks?
The day has come for the American
woman to wake up to her duty to the
industries of this country. Our com
mon people have paid terrible price
to establish them, but they never can
be developed to their place and power
without her aid and stimulus. Now
is her time. Temporarily, at least,
the maelstrom which has sucked in
all Europe deprives her of supplies.
This is her time to learn what her
own country's industries can do, and
to rally with all her influence to their
support, urging them to make the
things she wants, pledging them her
allegiance.
The world has seen in these days
wonderful outbursts of patriotism.
We have seen men and women lit
terally begging to be taken to their
country's aid Is it only war which
is to stir men and women to effort
and thought and sacrifice? Has pa
triotism nothing to do with peace,
with the daily efforts of men?
The great patriotism is that which
serves ones land consciously and
steady in all the relations of life.
The American woman of taste and
means has never fully recognized her
relation to her country's industries.
Now is her time to awake.
To keep the American people at
work through this crisis; to show the
world what patriotic peace means,
as opposed to patriotic war; to offer
at the end of this struggle picture
of the fruits of each so striking that
men can never forget it--that is our
duty as n nation. One of the most
substantial contributions that the
American woman can make to the full
fillment of this duty is to give steady,
intelligent support to American in
dustries.-Woman's Home Companion.

AN APPEAL TO THE
AMERICAN WOMEN
(By Ida NJ. TarbelD

Wy lht h' Adl btllJ
The awful struggle to which the
Continent of Europe has committed
itself, be it short or long, opens to
American women opportunity for n
patriotic service Of unique and ines
timablc value. It is n service the
more binding cause it is longing
norci duty.
What in this crisis is the highest
obligation Of these United States Of
America Neutrality aside? 1t is to
see that no man is idle, no wheel
stops Whatever the uncertainties
patriotism demands that our factories
and mines and mills be kept open and
busy. We owe it to the world that
when this mad and barbaric enter
prise is over there shall be one great
country, among those who boast
themselves as civilized, carrying on
tnc pursuits OF peace.
Whatever the war has stripped from
us, that we must learn to supply;
what ever industry il has checked or
stopped, we must set in motion 1t
is for us not only to care fully for
ourselves but to aid those smaller
neutral nations Of the world whose &C
tivities, like ours, have been dealt n
staggering blow.
Hats and bonncts and feathers and
flowers come into this country to the
tune of at least S20OOOOOO year;
jewelry between $4O,0O,OOO and $50
100000; silks made up and in the piece
nearly $l00,000,0OO And so one
might go on through the bcwildering
assortment of articles which make for
our elegance.
Why do we do it? BECAUSE
any woman Of taste and knowledge
will tell you this-"I can get in Eu-
ropean products more beauty of de-
sign, more snap in style, more cum
ming in details, more durability in
material" And why?
Are American manufacturers and
designers incapable of this superior
craftsmanship and art? No. The
truth is that American women have
never given them a fair opportunity
to prove what they can do. Consid-
er for a moment what it would mean
to our manufacturers and designers
if annually their fartories aud work
rooms were visited by hundreds of
women examining their stock, sug-
costing designs, encouraging exper-
iments, giving liberal orders. 1t is
to Europe we give this stimulus.
Moreover, if these women had the
opportunity to choose between two
equally good pieces of work, domes-
tic and foreign, they would every
time take the foreign. That is the
fact of the relation Of the women of
the United Staes, who can influence
these things, to her country's indus
try. She has little sense of respon-
sibility, little loyalty, or pride in this
matter.
And what are the results to indus
try? Can our manufacturers do any
thing else than become makers of
cheap goods? Would they do other
wise if they could?
1t has been my business to go
much in the last few years among
American manufacturers. One of
the things which has impressed me
deepest has been the men who
wanted to make good things; who
apologies for cheap makes.
l remember a Massachusetts wool
en- manufacturer showing me three
different pieces of exquisitely woven
stuffs. They were GASES in cords Of
Gotten worsteds.

VINCENTS BUDGET
We Must Use Our Talents, for Use
Gloriiies.

1t is the thing we use that does us
good. Feed that the horse can not
get at puts no fat on his ribs. Seed
left in the granary brings no crops.
Corn in the crib fattens no pig. Mil
dew gathers on the talent which is
wrapped in the napkin.
If we scrimp in the seed we SOW in
in the spring, we need not look for
much of crop in the fall.
And yet, how apt we are to forget
these things. Many a man is wait
ing for something great to happen to
him, and all the while his seed lies
dry in the bin, his talent is gather
ing mold in the hole he dug for it with
his own hands.
Some men brag that they are con-
tented with what they have. They
ought to be ashamed of themselves.
1t is sorry state of affairs when a
man just Says back in the harness and
says, ppm done pulling. The other
fellow can pull his load and mine and
I'm going to let himw
No 1t is not right to say that we
are contented with what we have and
are. 1t is all right to be happy and
make the best of such blessings as
have been bestowed upon us; but to
be worth anything, they must be used,
planted in the soil Of hope, wet by the
dew of love and titled by the Guilt
vator of hard knocks.
How was it we used to make little
balloons out Of pigs bladders when
we were boys? At first they were
little sacks But the boys took them
and blew puff or two of air into
them, and then began to thump and
pound them with all their might. Soon
more air could be blown into them,
and again they were thumped; and
every blow made them larger, until
at last they were as big as mans
head
The learned folks sometimes speak
of documentary wings" What do
they mean by that? They men that
one day the creature which had wings
stopped using them, and in no time
these wings began to lose their power.
No more flights away into the sun
shine! Power gone!
The wings which yesterday were so
strong and so swift commenced to
shrink and to shrivel. Today they
are not so large or so strong rs they
were yesterday. Tomorrow they will
be still weaker, still smaller. 1t is
the law Of nature.
A man had stony field on a bar
rem hillside. 1t never had brought
him anything. He picked up the
stones. set out trees, and this fall he
will gather crop of apples which
will bring him wealth.
Dig up the talent that has been hid
den in the earth and make it yield
another talent. Strike out bravely
and eagerly with the power you have
in your right arm, and you will have
strength for a harder blow tomor-
row. Think your best thoughts to-
day, and by and by your mind will
work more clearly. Plan well and
put your dream into action.-Farm
