Take a Trip Out TO the Old
Town; 1t Will Do You Good

II it is the case with YOU that You left
small town for the city il may be the
case that il has been some years since
you have seen the small town.
Whats there for me in the old town
any more?" we hear YOU ask.
Mother and father are gone; the
brothers and sisters and old friends have
scattered" you say, and you want US
to agree with you that there is little
to call you back
Well, we are not going to agree with
you.
There Is something there for You.
There is NEED in your case Of going
back, if only for day or a part Of
day.
1t will help you and do you good to
go back.
1t ought to help the big city you picked
out for your activities if you 90 back.
You may have looked to it as the sleepy
little town that was all right as small
towns go.
You may find on getting back there
that the little town in late years has
been very much awake and that YOU,
in the busy, busting city, are the one
who has been asleep.
You may find that while you have
been deeply engaged in the selfish pur-
pose of making much money, or trying
to make much money in worshiping the
god of greed, the little town has been
keeping apace with progress and has
quite outdone you in thought and in
action.

News of the Week
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crnne)

Great things have been happening
during the past week.
The dandelons have been out. Down
the road toward Ed Smiths place, on
each side of the highway, set thick
among the deep green Of the grass, myr-
lads Of them are abloom; it is AS if the
gray ribbon OF road were broidered with
living gold.
Gold is sprinked all through the pas
lures. There is no flower so decorative,
So modeStly yet cXQuisltely beautiful as
the daudclion.
one Of the most delightful things
about ii Is its gospel. which is the Won
derfulnesS Of the commonplace. All the
wealth, all the art Of man could produce
nothing that SO drenches the spirit with
pure JOY of life as Nature does in her
wild eXuberauce of dandelous.
Go out and see these happy little flow
er-pcOpe. clean your stuffed bosom Of
its artificial cares. and love them, and
they viii do YOU good. Fools run after
the uncommon, wise men turn for re-
frcShment To the common.
wish 20 report also that have
found the most sweet and adorable hour
Of the day. II is the one just before
daybreak when the baby dawn is just
beginning To awaken. Il is the solo hour
Of Natures daily twenty-four reel pic
ture play. Al day the full orchestra
Of birds has been cawinP. whstling, pip
ing, and fluting away; at sunset and
thick night.
for music came the play
OF the pied frog's orchestra,
And 10 light the noisy choir
Lit the fly his lamp of fire;
there have been the full crash Of noon
shine. the splendor and color riot Of sun
set. the soft threnody of twilight, and
then the maJeStical panorama OF the
stars swimming in the immense upper
ocean of the dark sky.
But at this solo hour IF which | speak
there is. for setting. the glory Of faith
omleSS stiffness. No breeze is a-wander-
ing. The trees are asleep. The mirror
breast of the Lake is unwrinkled II is as
smooth as the Just palng heavens
above il.
One bird stranger n me, is twitter-
inR--some uneasy Industrious bird that
would prevent the dawn and get about
hts days work.
One bright star CLEANS like a blue
jewel in the east, the forerunner OF the
sun The other stars are out; this high
lamp Is still unextinRuished.
One feathery cloud hangs over the door
where the sun shall enter
Nature is in her simplest. her most
unconfused, her least complex mood
The young day is hsping
The soul that is early about, and moves
among the vast Simplcitics, feels as If
IL were present at the worlds creation.
In Rome. by the Tiber, is "A small tenn
pie, round and pilared, said To have been
erected 10 the goddess of the Dawn,
Mater Matuta.
II YOU have no belief in her, come out
AT this solo hour, and walk along the road
Eold-sprent with dandehons. listen TO that
one bird singing look at that one star,
that lone cloud. receive with unbarred
heart the message Of the vast stiffness
around YOU and or ever you are aware
YOU will sec, not face TO face, but out
Of the tail Of your eve, as all divnities
can alone Toe glimpsed, Mater Matuta her
self the silent, sweet virgin mother of
the universe, the shyest and gentlest
among all the denizens Of Olympus.

MADE BLIND IN WAR

horizontal, the root of the nose being
also shattered.
Appalled, by the great number OF
blinded soldiers, the Hungarian spe-
cialists, Professors Grosz and Silly,
have started a subscription for the
erection of special institution des-
tined to assure livelihood for these
unfortunate victims of the war. There
they would be taught occupations
suitable to their infirmity.
On the other hand Professor Blesal-
ski of Berlin and Professor Lorenz of
Vienna are concerned not only in car
ing for the wounded soldiers, but in
preparing the numberless war cripples
for their future tasks Of gaining a live
lihood. Every time Professor Blesal-
ski visits his patients he endeavors to
bring it home to their minds that they
will have to follow their former occu-
pations. A teacher who had lost his
right arm has learned to write with
his left hand and each day he becomes
more and more convinced that he will
again be able to exercise his profess
sion. A gardener who lost his lower
limbs was convinced by Professor
Blesalski that he will be able to re-
sumo gardening; afarmer that he will
be able to NOW and to rake. A mason
was made to understand that despite
the loss of his right forearm he would
be able to do brick and mortar work
with the aid of an artificial hand.

BEDROOM SLIPPERS OF LINEN
Have Many Advantages, Chief Of
Which Is That They Are So
Easily Cleaned. -. -

The new idea in bedroom slippers is
to make them of linen These are
decidedly comfortable on the feet,
wear well, and can be washed easily.
They can be made from plain or
embroidered linen. just little heav-
Ter than you would use for, doilies or
center pieces. Buttonhole around the
top in small scallop. and make eye
lets in which to run narrow ribbon.
They are very pretty made up of
embroidery four inches wide and with
a. well-covered edge as we'll as an
open ~pne through which the>ljbhcu.
can run. When soiled they can be re-
moved from the sofe.,1aandered and re-
placed with little trouble 1t is well
to keep fresh pair always, on hand.
This suggests pleasant winter work
for summer wear. when we feel that
we can spare little time from our
knitting and garment making for the
good cause.

QUAIL THRESH WHEAT CROP
Pennsylvania Farmer Tells How the
Birds Get Enough to
Eat

Ebensburg, Pa.-John Newton, a
farmer living at Munday's, near Eb-
ensburg, tells remarkable story of
the sagacity of a flock of quail
Following the instructions of Doc
tor Kalbfus, Newton has been placing
grain in his barnyard for the benefit
of the birds. Apparently the amount
was not sufficient to satisfy the needs
of flock of quail. which fed at the
farm daily Inside the barn was a
quantity of unthreshed wheat, the
heads of which are closed tightly.
Other birds pecked at these heads
unsuccessfully, but the quail solved
the difficulty
According to Newton, a wise old
quail flew out of the barn on Sunday
with stalk of wheat in its beak. Lead
ing into the barn is a wooden bridge
The quail stuck the lower part of the
stalk through crack in the bridge.
Three quail seized it on the other
side and tugged away Justify. The
stalk was stripped clean. Newton
says the quail took turns carrying
out wheat and threshing it until ell
were satisfied; and that since they
have repeated the performance daily.

silk like pussy willow taffeta or crepe

Thousands Lose Their Sight in
European Conflict.
Many Cases Are Reported Among
Hungarian Soldiers Back From the
Front-SpeciaIists Plan Home
for Victims.

Budapest-A few DAYS ago the
newspapers reported that Michael
Chomsa, Hungarian soldier patient
at the Budapest hospital. had host his
eyesight, and they started collec-
. ton for him, the Poster Lloyd alone
raising $4,000 kronen (s5,G00) within
two days. Michael Chomsa's misfor-
tune was looked upon as exceptional.
and it was considered a public duty to
provide for his future.
But the publicity given to this sol
dier's blindness brought out the fact
that there were many other similar
cases. In the opinion of physicians
there will be in Hungary alone several
thousand such victims of the war if
the fighting is to continue much
longer.
1t is a disheartening spectacle to
look upon these blind soldiers at the
hospital. Ore sees many wounded,
disfigured, ulcerating eyes. Some of
these eyes have sunk far into their
sockets. Others show the upper, trans
parent part of the eyeball sprinkled
with white, cleaning gr.ins of sand,
whirled there by bursting shrapnel
shell. Two otherwise healthy eyes
blink and culver increasingly. the
nervous system of the man having
been shattered by an exploding bomb.
Another soldier has his eyelids SEEM
ingly grown together. they having lost
their power to open and to close.
Opened, they disclose empty cavities.
One of the blind soldiers wears the
silver cross for bravery. Though
wounded he returned to the firing line
in order to carry away his seriously
wounded lieutenant. While doing this
he was hit by another bullet. which
destroyed his eyesight
1t is remarkable that most of these
sufferers lost their vision in the same
peculiar manner. The bullet entered
the cheek and bored its way upward.
emerging on the opposite side by way
of the eyesocket, after smashing the
eyeball and destroying the optic
nerve. At times the bullets path was
