THE SOLDIERS BRIDE.

A moment longer stay, | am thy
bride,
Nor listen to the din of drum and fife,
Which music fills my sinking heart
with pain,
That calls thee forth for weary war
and strife.
God keep me brave? 'Tis for my
country's gain?
Alas Now comes thy roam and thou
must ride
Into the main.
Lord, give me strength to loose mine
arms. Hear Harki
Oh, nearer comes the tramp of
marching feetl
MY heart is thine. Wherever thou
must fare,
Der peaceful plain of in dread
battles heat,
All of my love, my soul, dwells with
the there;
And the long lingering nights, cold,
cruel and dark,
I'll spend in prayer.
The bugler blows thrilling blastl A
knell
To all my hope of joy. One more
embrace
To lift my spirit while | see thee
start.
Now God of war and warriors, give
grace,
Tighten my load. Thou, who true low
ers part,
Good courage send to bid brave fare
well,
So, heart to heart.
Just because church is prosper
Gus is no sign that it is religious.
When it comes to the most useless
thing in the world don't overlook pro-
family.

will wish some day she had waited a

If our young men enlist to fight for
us, we must enlist to feed them and
those depending on them. The man
who raises 1000 bushels of wheat or
like amount of corn or hay or pota-
toes or other food stuffs is doing lot
for his country. The more grain we
can raise and the more meat we can
make this summer the better it will
be for this country and its friends
among the nations. AS we have elect
ed to take part in this war our
motto ought to be call for one and
one for all"

The immediate responsibility of the
farmer is a big one. In assuming it
he is manifesting a patriotism of the
highest order. While he may well be
concerned with future developments,
there is no hesitancy in responding to
the call of his country to produce. He
may well trust the government to see
arise. The program outlined by
unforeseen contingencies that may
conference held in st. Louis
few days ago is comprehensive
one, and adopted by Congress and
strictly followed, as there is every
reason to believe it will be, the farm
err will be thoroly safeguarded should
his effects to increase production be
realized. In any event, both the pro-
ducers and consumers are to be as
sured of a square deal under the
plan proposed.
In this connection it was pointed
out that owing to the world shortage
of food it is scarcely possible that the
yields of staple crops this year can be
too great, and that there is every rea-
son to believe that generous prices
will be paid for the harvest of the
fields.
But in order to protect all interests,
the st. Louis conference recommend
ed: Creation of agencies that will
enable the government to fix maxi
mum and minimum prices of food
if necessary, altho such was not con-
sidered necessary at this time. Con-

As has been the case in all previous
wars Of this nation, the women are
showing as much patriotism as the
men. If anything, they are showing
little more. Everywhere they are
enlisting for service in many ways.
The Red Cross is receiving their great
est assistance and service. Here in
Emmett, the membership is near
ing the 200 mark and growing so rap
idly that it is apt to have 500 mem
bers within few months. And the
women are in earnest and are setting
ing out to do their duty. They rea-
lie the seriousness of the situation,
and are planning to make their SER
vices efficient. This all goes to show,
among other things, that Idaho and
the other states that have granted
suffrage to the women made no mis-
take.

Americans are so busy showing the
world what this country can do in the
way of organizing and rallying and
focusing on one purpose all its vast
resources and machinery and assets.
an object lesson that may make even
Germans stare, that little thought can
be spared for "after the war" Yet
after the war what giant things the
nation as unit will realize itself
capable of doing, instead of merely
puttering away as governments did
prior to this awakening period. There
will never be return to that place of
individualism and governmental non
action.

II the government can regulate the
price we shall pay railroads for haul
ing freight, why can't it regulate the
prices of foodstuff? If the govern
ment or state can say how much rail
roads can charge us for riding on
passenger trains, why can't the gov
eminent or state say how much the
spectators shall charge us for pota-
toes, sugar and flour? We have regu-
lated the railroads to a FRAGILE. But
in all their history the railroads were
never as piratical as the gamblers in
charge of the combine on foodstuffs.
The papers says the tremendous adj
vance in sugar cannot be explained.
Nothing is simpler. The gamblers
have corner on 1t and are forcing up
the price. There is no shortage of
sugar. Foreign countries have not
taken all of it. The gamblers simply
have it cornered and will not sell it
until they get ready. In years gone
by the Standard Oil Co. has been
held up as the chief fire eating dragon
that was destroying the souls and
bodies or humanity. But in its worst
days the Standard Oil Co. was an
angel of mercy as compared to the |
sugar, -four and paper trusts.

Mayor Gaylor has intimated 10 the

member Of the local exemption

of which are County Clerk George
Raab and DR.. ]. p. Feigler. Word
to this effect was received from In
dianapolis by George Raab Monday
morning. The only reason given by
the mayor for his action. it is said, is
that his candidature for reelection
to the mayoralty will require all his
time between now and the fall. He
is being opposed by Frank p. Christ
oph. democratic candidate and the
latter's supporters are confident that
their candidate will be elected by a
safe majority. Another reason ad-
vanced for the mayors withdrawal
from the exemption board is that
the task is likely TO be an unpopular
one, and that there is a chance OF
votes being lost were he TO associate
himself with the undertaking. A
third member TO take his place on
the board will be appointed.

A Conflict in Which Every In

Gods Lessons in Our History
psalm 44:1-3), was the subject of
"A patriotic sermon delivered at the
morning services Of the First Pres

Burnett. ID. d.
In part, DR.. Burnett said:
Blessed is the nation so rich in
its history that il can go back
through the years and trace the
achievements Of great and good
men. There is a divine revelation
in all national experience and he is
blind TO both the facts and the phil
osophy Of history who does not
trace Gods providence in all the
events that make for national great
ness.
The one supreme lesson Of God =
dealings with men is faith. Never
were more abundant blessings be-
slowed on any people than on our
own; we have every advantage for
development; climate, soil, natural
resources, educational opportunities
moral and spiritual Inspirations.
God has spoken in the past and the
lessons of the present are most i'm

in the face of present conditions, but
it is our reason for being in the

in the balance, and il is our part TO
aid in establishing in the world a
peace that shall continue. Lord
Balfour said, America cannot sep
arate itself from European politics.
Ii seems 10 be our God given task
