The Weother


A fraction less than three inches of
rain fell last Sunday. The precipita-
ton began at 10 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing and continued until daylight Mon
day morning. Most of the time the
rain came down slow and gentle and
was root soaker, A fine rain had
fallen less than week previous and
this was not needed but as far as
could be learned little damage was
done to the crops, but the farmers
sincerely hope they will now have
plenty of sunshine, especially for cot
ton, as the fields need working after
ten days of weather too hot to get in
the fields.
All the prairie section report good
stands and the stands in the sandy
lands that were damaged by the very
cool weather early in MAY have been
in most instances replanted and the
cotton is now up and growing fine.
A, Klaus & Co. are showing an at

The War Godmothers.

"One of the most original and most
touching outgrowths of the war" OBJ
serves a writer in Cartoons Magazine
has been the institution In France Of
war godmothers'-an inspiration one
might almost call it. The war god
mother does not know. has never seen
the godson whom chance or her good
heart has given her She has been cre-
ated to impart material and moral com
fort to the sons of France from the in
Naded provinces, who, because of the oC.
cupation of this territory by the enemy
have neither home. money. family ties, or
friends. Of course the spirit of bonne
camaraderie in their regiments would in
a degree serve as a substitute, but when
one remembers how eagerly the mail car
rter is awaited, even when one lives in the
country for a while. it is easily under
stood what a welcome change in the dull
monotonous routine of trench life, the re-
ceipt of letter from anywhere must be
In the pity of the officers for the poor
fellows whom the postman overlooked
originated the idea of the war god
mother"

Aid Freely Given.
I'VE have not asked for any none
tary contribution to the war from India
but in the Vceroys Council one of the
Indian members moved a resolution,
which was carried unanimously not only
declaring that the members OF the Coun-
ell, voicing the feeling that animates the
whole Of the people of India. desired TO
give expression Of their feelings Of un-
swerving loyalty and enthusiastic devo-
ton to their King Emperor and an as
suranCe OF their unflinchins support to
the British government, but further ex-
pressed the opinion that the people of
India, in addition TO the military assist
anCe now being offered by India to the
emperor, would wish to share in the
heavy financial burden imposed by the
war on the United Kingdom and thus 10
demonstrate the unity Of India with the
empire.
During the progress Of the war fur
ther offers of help have been and con-
tinue to be received. and more OF the
chiefs have been able to serve at the
front.
India, instead OF being a cause OF anI-
iety has been a substantial help to the
empire in time of need. She was able to
send troops to aid in the great battles
Of Ypres in those critical days when the
Germans were striving to reach Calais
She has also sent troops to Egypt Gal
lipoli. East Africa. Mesopotamia. Persia
and China. No less than twenty-one
regiments Of Indian cavalry and eighty
six battalions Of Indian infantry. in addi-
ton to the troops placed at the disposal
Of government by the rulers Of the In
dian native states, have been fighting the
battles of the empire far beyond the In
dian borders
The Indian people have a high sense
or right and wrong. They saw that in
this war the allies were in the right and
they regarded the cause of the allies as
the cause Of India.
The Germans did not think we could
count on The ympathy of the Indian
people. Thev expected that India would
rise in revolt. But instead OF showing,
under the encouragement of a great Eu-
roHean war. any desire to revolt, the
people Of India have never been more
loval to the British people than today.
II should also Ike 70 call your atten-
tion to a very interesting fact in connec-
ton with this war. Before the war the
Victoria Cross, the highest award for gal
lantry on the field of battle, had been re-
served for British soldiers only In con-
nection with this war there have been
awarded to Indian soldiers FIVE Victoria
crosses and TWENTY-FIVE military crosses.
Il will give just this one instance of
their gallantry in one action alone In
Gallipoli, the Fourteenth Sikhs went into
action with fifteen British officers four
teen Indian officers and 514 rank and
file. The next day there were three Brit
ish officers. three Indian officers and 1874
rank and file I do not think you could
ask more of any army than that they
should face and make sacrifices of that
kind

Said the Slum Child to the Wise
To the people of place and power
Who govern and guide the hour.
To the people who write and teach,
Ruling our thought and speech,
And all the Captains and Kings
Who command the making Of things
Give me the good ye know,
That I, the child, may grow!
Light, for the whole day long,
Food that is pure and strong,
Houdng and clothing fair,
Clean water and clean air,
Teaching from day to day.
And room-for a child to play"
Then the wise made answer cold:
These things are not given, but sold.
They shall be yours today
If you can pay"
PAY" said the child, pay you?
What can I do?
Only in years slow length
Shall I have strength.
I have not power nor skill.
Wisdom nor wit nor will
What service weak and wild
Can you ask of a little child"
