The European explosions not only have
no effect In producing rain and showers

no established ground for asserting that
they have a general effect OF that kind in
Europe.
1t is a very old notion that great bat
ties bring rain after them, and It Is con-
ceivabe that this might happen not so
much on account of the shock Of the ex-
plosions, as on account of the vast guam
tity OF smoke and gases launched into the
air. II you recall your studies you Will

Copyright. 195 star Company
What shall the leader De in that great day
When we who sleep and dream that slaves
Shall wake and know that liberty is ours?
Mark we'll that word-not yours. not mine, but ours.
For through the mngling of the separate streams
OF individual protest and desire.
In united of purpose. lies
he course of freedom
When progression takes
Her undisputed right Of way, and sinks
The old traditions and conventions where
They may not rise, what shall the leader be7
No mighty warrior skilled in crafts of war,
Sowing earths fertile burrows with dead men
And staining crimson Gods cerulean
To prove his provinces to a shuddering world,
Nor yet monarch with a silly crown
Perched empty head-an inbred heir
To senseless titles and anaemic blood:
No ruler, purchased by the perjured votes
OF striving demagogues whose god is gold;
Not Of these shall lead to liberty
The weakness of the world cries out for strength
The sorrow of the world cries out for hope.
Its suffering cries for kidness.
t.... He who leads
Must then be strong and hopeful the dawn
That risese unafraid and full of Joy
Above the biackness of the darkest night.
He must be kind TO every living thing;
Kind the Krishna Buddha and the Christ
And full of love for all created life.
Or not in shall his great prowess lie,
Nor shall he find his pleasure in the chase.
Too great for slaughter, friend of man and beast.
Touching the borders of the unseen realms
And bringing down to earth their mystic fires
To light troubled pathways, wise and kind
And human to the core, so shall he be,
The coming leader Of the coming time.

SCHE|IK'S SHIPPING
FROM PITTSBURGH

That F.. Schenk & Sons Co. is de.
ceiving people who think all the meat
bought from. them is Schenk's meat
buying it on the reputation made
for it by the faithful employees who
are now out on strike for bare living
conditions-this much is now plain.
Schenk's are having orders filled
by Zoeller's, in Pittsburgh. The at
tempt to deceive is made plain by the
fact that the orders are packed in
Schenk's boxes and barrels and ship
ped direct. Thus the name Schenk' S,
with the reputation of the past, and
the guarantee of the federal meat in
spection, leads people to believe that
they are really getting 'tSchenk's
meat" when in fact it has never been
in the Schenk packing house.
From the first this deception has
been practiced, Schenk's getting meat
from Chicago, now they have only
changed their supply station.
Others Follow Suit.
Other nonunion packers are follow
ing suit. They are filling orders which
people may fondly imagine are pre-
pared by Wheeling workers, when it
is simply that the money is esnt out
of town to other concerns, and the
meat simply transferred upon its, ar
rival. This is hardly in keeping with
the Buy at Home" slogan. e
Strikers Busy.
In the meantime the strikers are
busy, and day by day more and more
of the people are being made acquaint-
ed with the cause of the strike-how
they are the lowest paid mechanics
in the city, and hardest worked, get
ting but So to So per day, and no in
crease for the past six years-and
how, when they asked for mere ten
percent raise, were refused any con-
sideration whatsoever, the millionaire
packers even refusing to arbitrate.
This is why there is an ever-increas-
ing number of people who refuse to
buy meat at Schenks.

SCHENK TRIES POLITICS

Defeated ON the industrial field,

politics in the attempt to defeat the
Butchers. At Fulton. where the pack
ing plant is located, the mayor, re-
corder, and practically all Of the
town council are members 0 fthe

meeting held Thursday evening nomi-
nations were made which, If success
full in the election, would change the
entire situation and put the city CIV.

the strikers.
Herman Roeder. the present mayor
was nominated by the workers to sue
coed himself, but against him was
named Albert Schmidt, related to the
Schenks by marriage, and by occupa'

ways refused to join the Clerks un'

help which can come only from God
more vitality essential than ever be-

be profoundly grateful that 1t is i'm
possible to exaggerate the power and
grace Of our God who invites US to
cry unto Him for help.
"Yet no sooner do we begin TO cry
to Him than we are confronted with
the unspeakable sorrow of a divided
Christendom. Christians are grouped
into many bands under different
names suggesting the sway Of the hu
