This is tale of self confessed muir
derer who wished to be arrested, as
related by n writer In lie Matin, Paris
Some time ago man named Berges
was stabbed TO death Mt Algiers. Three
men were arrested on suspicion. but
as they proved their innocence they
were released and the matter was
shelved. i few days nfierward man
called at the office OF the local police
commissary and said TO that official:
My name is Narlus Yvorra killed
Berges. and this is how | did IT."
The CommisSary listened to the
mans confession and said:
You had better see my secretary"
The secretary also listened to the
man's confession aud after little re-
Election said:
Now. iOus here. my good man: this
Is not the way tn get arrested. You
must write va n letter confirming the
oral statement made TO us. Then we
shall be abe To attend to you. Now,
get along"
The man left the uiilce. and perhaps
because he WIS not good writer he

THE PRAYER FOR PEACE.

President Wilson has requested oven
his official signature that prayers be
made in all the churches on October
4th, the first Sunday in the month that
the world wide war may end, and
peace reign once more on the earth.
Will it avail anything?
The Good Book gives the assurance
that "the prayers of righteous man
availeth much"-how much and what
it does not specify. "Availeth much"
Many of the petitions offered on Octo-
Der 4th will be weak-some of them
unwise, perhaps, but whatever they
be, and however feebly expressed,
they will avail much" The petit
toner will be benefited, and who
knows but that the rigors and horrors
of war may be softcned and its sufr-
ering alleviated thereby?
To pray for peace will promote and
increase the desire for peace, and this
will promote efforts to promote peace
everywhere.
No limits or bounds can be set upon
the power of the Great Father, and
we can all pray for the forgiveness of
our own rebcllious selves and the al
deviation of human suffering and the
elimination of wars, the tempering of
the winds to the shorn lambs, and that
the coming of the kingdom may be
FASTENED.

End of the War.

Nearly all Americans would like to
see the European war end somehow.
That appalling spectacle of human
misery cries out to our humanity.
The fact that our material interests
suffer from a conflict for which we
have no responsibility also makes us
hopeful of its speedy end.
Rejecting both these sentiments
our government eagerly seizes every
opportunity to suggest thoughts of
peace to the combatants. 1t is well
that it should do so. Yet we shall
save ourselves chilling disappoint-
ment if we realize that these efforts
have little present prospect of success
The nations in combat have not
even begun to think of the war in
the same mental plane. From Ger
many have come tentative and "un.
Official" peace suggestions, but thew
do not meet the issue at all as the
allies plainly see it.

No American farmer can have
failed to realize that the European
war has presented him with an OPP
portunity unprecedented and limited
only by the amount of work he is able
and willing TO do. The Agriculture of
Europe has been practically suspend
ed. With the vast majority of her
able bodied men fighting in the va
rious armies, Europe will be prevent
ed from rcaping this years or sowing
next years crops, but her demand for
food will continue undated. II is the
privilege as well as the duty of the
American farmer to supply this de
mand.
While the farmers of Europe are
fighting, the farmers of America must
sow and reap as they have never done
before. Theirs is the part to fill with
golden grain the hungry hands that
will soon be stretched across the
sea. The duty Of feeding furnished
Europe must fall largely upon the
American farms. 1t is Il duty ut
