If the newspaper man should ask
for as many free samples of clothing,
groceries, ETC., as he is asked every
week for free advertising by some
concern or other or various individu-
ais, He would soon be. regarded the
biggest nuisance in Christendoins Peo-
pie seem to forget that it costs a
newspaper as much to publish free
advertising as it 4does to publish the
sort that it paid for.

An announcement a few days ago
to the effect that the Westinghouse
people We're asking the services of
ten thousand laborers who would be
willing to go inside a great, walled
in factory and work for several
months or years without seeing OF
communicating with people on the out
side and that their work would be
the manufacture of some wartime
device whose invention is credited to
Thomas A. Edison, has aroused con-
siderable interest among the people
and a hope that the talk which has
been INDUCED in lately by the press
concerning something "big" that the
inventor has been about to evolve may
after all not be mere talk. Accord
ing to the brief dispatch, the inveh-
ton limited at is too important for any
risk to be taken that knowledge Of
it could ever come to the enemy, hence
the wonderful precautions for secrecy.
No American will be surprised at
anything Edison may be able to evolve
and it is to be hoped, of course, that
there is some basis of truth in the
rumor. However, until something
more definite is learned the average
man will take such hearsay reports
cum grano sails, and we will continue
to rely on good old-fashioned gum
powder and similar death-dealing
agencies.

THE 1917 PATRIOT

Listen, my children, and you shall
hear
Of a patriots work in this present

He didn't ride through the roads at

To rouse the neighbors to arm and

But he went to Work with a spade and
And he made ten bushels of Eaters

RECIPROCITY

A colored man who prided himself
on definitions was one day asked for
a definition of reciprocity by white
man. "Well, sah," said he, you see

Life is eternal. Then only will fight
| ing stop.
Almost the worst phase, however,
of this criticism of those who are
fighting and have been fighting the
battle of liberty, by those who are
resting secure in their efforts, is the
attempt to arouse uneasiness as to the
justice of the cause, and to fill the
minds of the American recruits and
| their relatives with the dread that
the war is a mere eXpender of hui
man ammunition, and three weeks to
month is the length of soldir's
| life in France or Flanders. Such
stories, of course, are unutterably sill
ly, and miserably contemplate, but
simple parents, on prairie farms, know
nothing of the facts, and are governed
far more by distressful fears than
by reason. Some of these stories are
propaganda of peculiarly villianous
type, such as the story circulated, in
Boston and elsewhere, that the trans
ports, with General Pershing's troops
on board, had been sunk, but much of
it is. the thoughtless and even mali
cious exaggeration and gossip of
those for whom, because war is ana
thema to them, nothing about war
can be too preposterous to be accept
ed or too ridiculous to be believed.
The American soldier is not per-
son to be pitied or to be condoled
with. He is the chosen representa-
tive of the nation in the great battle
for the defense of those liberties for
which his ancestors fought, and which
they secured through centuries of
struggle. No one dares to be sorry
for Washington or for Montgomery,
or for the farmers who fell at Lex
ington. But there is a strange feel
ing of pity for those unknown British
soldiers who fell by Concord Bridge
or in the Middlesex woods, because
their cause was a lost cause and bad
one. And so no one need ever pity
any soldier in the armies of the Re-
public, even should he leap "the gold
en- stile." Principle makes its de-
mands necessarily on the men and
women of the world, and, if they are
wise, they obey those demands, no
matter where the demand may take
them.-Cfristian Science Monitor.

The St. Louis Times is helping do
its bit by displaying in large electric
letters at the corner of Twelfth and
Locust streets each night the follow
ing advice: "War should not change
the habits of the people. Normal
economies should be practiced, but
business should proceed as usual.
Stand by the country by standing by
the cOuntry's business. Buy what
you need and continue your activities
as if there were no war. Keep up a
smiling 'front.'" This is very good
advice indeed. However, it is i'm
possible to ignore the war entirely
in the conduct of a business, but if
everybody would heed the advice con-
tanned in the sign, business would
be even better than usual. One of the
easiest ways to hurt the country in
the conduct of the war is to tighten
up in business way, curtail eXpend-
lures, keep down improvements of all
kinds and spend nothing you do not
have to spend. If Uncle Sam can be
caused to lose the conflict at all this
is probably the surest way to cause
him to do it.

Some of the constelations have popular names in addition to their proper names which is generally that of a animal or character in Greek or Roman mythology. A few of the bright stars also have proper names, but the majority are designated by the letters of the greek alphabet, Alpha generally denoting the bright est star in the constellation, Beta the second brightest, Gamma the third, etc. The stars are divided into magnitudes from the first down ward, the sixth magnitude being

 The clear, moonless nights at the present time afford an ideal oppor- tunity of becoming familiar with tho principal stars and constellations of the sky. The study of the sider- al heavens is of Surpassing interest and not nearly so difficult as most people imagine. At first glance the stars seem to be scattered in end les confusion and in countless numbers over the heavens, but as matter of fact, the numbers ol stars visible to the naked eye are relatively few il numbers, and :he outlines of the cancellations can be trcced out with no greated difficulty than the boundaries of country on a map. After few stars and constellation.g are found and identi- fled, others can be located from a star chart or atlas.
