The War To Come.

Sometime during the administra-
tion of the next president of the Uni
ted States the war in Europe is to
come to an end.
The existence of that war has COM
PEELED Europe to buy from the United
States some two billion dollars more
worth of goods a year than Europe
required from this country in peace
time. When the war ends, those pur-
chases will cease abruptly.
Europe already is recognizing her
industries" warns Edward N. Hur-
ley, democratic chairman of the fed
eral trade commission. As Mr.. Hur-
ley,~shows,. and as the studies of the
National Foreign Trade council have
demonstrated, she is recognizing
them on basis to shut European
markets to American producers, and

GO PLANT A TREE.

Wouldst thou upbuild a home where
sweet wild lives are nested,
Glad with the sound of song, quicl,
with the flash of wings
Where the soft broods may rock,
warm-housed and unmolested,
Deep in the leafy hooks, through all
the changefnl springs9
Wouldst thou make day more fair,
night more rich and holy,
Grant the sweet earth a gift, deep
rooted, ripening slowly,
Add to the sum of joys that bless the
rounded year?
Go, then, and plant tree, lovely in
sun and shadow,
Gracious in every kind-maple and
oak and pine,
Blessings of dew and shade, hereafter
shall be thine!
For though thou never see the joy thy
hand hath granted,
Those who shall follow thee thy gen
erous boon may share,
And each of many a spring shall find
thy gift more fair. ANON.

A WOMAN IN DALLAS
; + 4 + + = + 4 + + + + = =

One Of the splendid courtesies of
men and women in their hours of tri-
umph are the acknowledgements Civ
en- their assistants. The recent ac-
knowledgement by County School Su-
perintendent Reynolds and County
Supervisor Moore of the assistance
of Miss Almeda J. Fuller in the
work Of arranging the prize winning
exhibit in the state fair and her work
in the school section of the county
fair is an example To help Polk
maintain her enviable record Miss
Fuller proffered her services and was
accepted. 1t meant nothing but a
lot OF work for her. Yet Polk won
and she was satisfied
School work with Miss Fuller is
not a passing interest, it is not a
stepping stone to something else, it is
not a temporary bread and butter
winner. Rather school work, with
her. is "a life work. As little girl
she said she wanted to be superin-
tendent Of Polk 's schools and she
never changed her mind. When she
had completed her teachers prepar-
atory work she sought and received
an appointment to Polk county
school, At every opportunity she as
sisted in school work. She was in
terested enough to do these things
and asked no pay other than the ex-
perience gained. She had ambitions
to succeed in school work and de-
cided that unrelenting work would
land her. Work is part Of her scheme
for success.

to invade American markets with her
cheap products. England, for exam
pie, proposes to feed herself from her
colonies and to cease buying wheat
and other foodstuffs from the United
States.
An economic war of combined
groups of European nations against
the United States is the prospect.
But, were the conditions after the
war to be no more onerous on Ameri-
can producers than they were before
the war, what state of preparedness
would we be in to meet them if the
democratic administration is still in
power?
One can judge only by conditions
Immediately preceding the war. In
the ten months Immediately preced-
ing August, 1914, when the war be-
gan, democratic legislation and demo-
cratic administration had substituted
poverty for prosperity in America.
Unemployment was becoming mem
ace. Commercial failures multiplied,
bank clearences fell off, building OPP
erations were at a standstill These
are matters within your own recol-
lection. Bear them in mind.

Sunday Big Day at Christian Church.

Sunday Big Day at Christian Church
Sunday was the biggest day thai
the First Christian church Of Dallas
has seen for several years. At botl
morning and evening services great
crowds heard the Kellems Brothers
"Sunshine Evangelists," now con
ducting services for the church.
In the Bible school, beginning with
an enthusiastic song service at ter
o clock, two hundred and seventy-nine
men and women, boys and girls, stud
led the bible lesson and listened to
Evangelist Kellems deliver a short
message.
AT the regular eleven o'clock Sun
day morning service, over three hun
dred people heard the splendid mes
sage on "Christian Diseases" de-
livered by Evangelist Jesse X. Kel-
lens. Mr.. Kellems named twenty
seven spiritual diseases that some
times afflict the christian, and pre-
scribed the remedy for each.
In the evening his sermon subject
was Immortality" or "Is There a
Life After Death?" He gave great
deal of excellent testimony from val
liable sources to prove that there is
Il life after death, and established
his points beyond the shadow Of
doubt. Every available seat was fill
ed and several were forced to stand
because of the immense crowd.
The two great choruses under the
direction of Homer Kellems, together
with the immense audience, made the
old songs of Zion ring, while the pi-
ano, the organ and the fine orchestra
under the direction of Will Caldwell
did their part in making the song
service a splendid success.
Last evening the auditorium was
again well-flled with Dallas citizens
to hear Evangelist Kellems explain
the chart on 'EThe Scriptural Heart
and How it is changed"
After the message, three young peo-
pie were baptized by the minister,
Mr.. Mcconnell. The baptismal SER
vice was especially impressive be-,
cause of beautiful decorations and
lighting effects, So far, there have
been fourteen additions to the church
during the meeting.
Tomorrow evening a large delega-
ton of Salem people are coming over
to attend the meeting and it is ex-
pected the house will be crowded to
again.
Special music is promised for the
next three nights by well-known Dali
las singers: Mrs. Mcconnell sings
tonight, Mrs. Tooze, Wednesday night
and the little Smith girls on Thursday |
night. All services commence prompt
" at 1880 o'clock.

BY authorities in this line that the
