The lads that go now, high hearted

THE HOME GARDENER

D DONALD MCCORMICK, in charge
of the home garden work of
the Chamber of Commerce,
having instructed superintendent
Shirley B. Watts to go ahead with
preparations for next years home
garden campaign, the public is as
sured that the vegetable growing
movement so auspiciously begun this
year In to be continued.
Mr.. Mccormick understands that
what was done the past summer is
merely preliminary and of minor
Importance as compared with what
can be accomplished along this line.
Not only will the gardeners be more
familiar with work next year, but
it will be far more important that
they grow vegetables then than II
was during the past summer,
Harrisburg gardeners raised their
share of the es60.000. 900 worth OF
vegetables produced in the war gar
dens since spring. Not only that. but
they delivered their produce to their
own back doors without burdenins

They go to compel the Huns who
have violated all law, divine and
human, to drain to the dregs the bit
ter cup of sorrow they have pressed
to the lips of the weak and the inno-
cent.
They go, Gods own avengers of
the unspeakable suffering of the
people of Belgium, Northern France.
Poland, Serbia, Rumania and Ar
menia. AS they march, unseen in
the clear air above them are the
spirits of the American mothers and
babies that perished in the roaring
sea, murdered in the Lusitania. They
go to cleanse the earth of the men
who began by violating treaties and
have progressed by violating the COM
mon promptings of humanity which
have been held sacred even by the
red Indians of America and the black
tribes of Africa.
They are the armed guards of
American honor, of the covenants of
Almighty God. On this great mis-
sion we send them with every bless
ing, with every ascription of honor.
They go to prove that this great re-
public is great not only in material
things, in it's proud cites, its far flung
fields and its laden orchards and
purpling vineyards, but great in the
ineffable things of the spirit. in the
courage of it's people and its purpose
to fling high and far the banners of
the best civilization created by man.

GOLDEN BOYS

From "The Spires of Oxford and
Other Poems" by w. M. Let's, a
new addition, containing several
new poems. of Halloween and
Poems of the War" published last
winter by e. p. Dutton & Co. The
very great popularity of "The Spires
os oxford" and the continual re-
quests for permission to republish it
led the publishers to change the title
when a new edition became neces-
sary:
"Not harps and palms for these, o
God,
Nor endless rest within the courts
of Heaven
These happy boys who left the foot
ball field,
The hockey ground, the river. the
eleven,
In far grimmer game. with high
elated souls
To score their goals.
Let these, o God. still test their
manhood's strength,
Wrestie and leap and run,
Feel sea and wind and sun;
With Cherubim contend;
The timeless morning spend
In great celestial games.
Let there be laughter and merry
noise
Now that the fields of heaven shine
With all these golden boys"

GERMAN DISTRESS

The German Imperialist party evil
IDENTIFY is becoming alarmed over the
discussion of peace without indem-
mites. The reason for the alarm IS
explained in an article in the Tages
Zeitung, translated in the London
Times. The empire, it says, will be
ruined economically unless it can
obtain huge indemnities. Nearly half
the national wealth-40 billion dol
lars-has been spent on the war.
The article continues:
without an indemnity there is no
hope of carrying on during the first
ten years after the conclusion of
peace. Germany would have to bear
extra taxation amounting to IL bill
lions of marks G. billion dollars), as
compared with pre-war taxation or
three and q half (S75 million dol
lars). How can a country in state
of ruin in which it will find itself,
and, in view of the enormously In
creased cost of living, shoulder an
added burden of that magnitude
when the sum of 6 billions O,5O0
million dollars) would be maxi
mum effort, and, even that, could
only be endured with the greatest
effort? Have the Socialists, who
prate of peace, of Germany's being
able to meet her liabilities, consider
ed how she is to care for her military
sick and wounded and pick up the
threads of her export and import
trades, unless she seizes the oppor-
tunity of peace to impose such terms
as will secure for her a sufficiently
large indemnity to meet her liabili-
ties, and, further, enable her to pro-
cure the raw materials she must have
to rebuild her trade connections?
Germany Is not blind enough, after
all her sacrifices, to accept, in lien
of the material compensation she
must have, fine phrases about peace
and good will amongst men,
In spite of its probable exaggera-
ton, this statement is interesting,
not so much for its argument against
the peace party as for its showing
the distress under which Germany
labors to-day. The empires trade
and industry are ruined, the ac-
cumulated savings of years destroy
ed, it's liabilities piled up in an in
tolerable load.
The prospect is sufficiently appall-
ing SO that the Tages Zeitung be-
lieves it can make an appeal on that
basis. The fact that q strong party
is desirous of ending the war with
out indemnities even in the face of
economic ruin is evidence of the
growing distress within the empire.

THE WAY I FOUGHT

1 am not bound to win life's fame,
I am not charged to reach goal;
1t is not told that victory alone shall
consecrate the soul.
Not all the great men come to wealth,
not all the noble men succeed.
The glory of a life is not the record
of one daring deed;
And If I serve a purpose true, and
keep my course, though tempest
tossed,
1t shall not matter in the end, wheth-
er won my fight or lost.
1 was not ordered at my birth to
come to death possessing gold; =.
No stern command was given me that
riches must be mine to hold.
The reason for my life is hid, shall
not solve the mystery here.
And even what Is victory for mortar

But this ] know: when comes the end
and all my toiling here is done,

This inch on the advertising pages

potential switchboard operators were
concerned, and among red haired
girls in general who did not object
to good pay
One black haired girl had the
when she was an infant her head
used to be "just covered with red
curls, and they might come back
again any day, you know"
Applicants were made to stand in
line, as at a recruiting station, and
one by one they showed their hair to
Mr.. Foley. Some were young, others
were not, but seventy-seven of the
$50 girls who lined UP had hair that
was either scarlet, crimson, maroon
russet or ruby red: Some of them
wore auburn curls down their backs;
some came without any hat at all,
to show the brilliance of their coilf-
fures.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
Mr.. Foley at last asked for help from
Mr.. Reed, the author of the fateful
advertisement. After scanning the
line of applicants, Reed selected the
winner.

MOBILIZING MANPoWER

TERY quietly, but very effectively,
" the United States Public Service
Reserve is mobilizing the man
power of the nation under the su-
pervision of William e. Hall, the ma
tional director. The work of Mr..
Hall is to meet the requirements of
the government and of those indus
tries whose work is essential to the
conduct of the war, with least pos
sible disturbance to other industries,
and anybody familiar with labor con-
ditions as they at present exist knows
what task that is.
The government has no intention
of conscripting labor, but it knows
that the chief sources of supply for
emergency needs are-first. those
who are not now usefully employed
(from war standpoint) Sec
ond, those who will shift from the
less to the more essential employ
ments. The first class includes men
who are not now working in pro-
ductive pursuits, women and boys
about to begin work. 1t is to put
such in touch with the jobs that
need them that the Reserve has been
created.
In the Public Service Reserve are
being enrolled all men who are
ready in the war emergency to con-
tribute their personal services to do
ing work that will aid the general
welfare. In enrolling, member asks
to have recorded a description which
he gives on the enrolment blank of
his training, experience, aptitude and
capacities for service, and requests
that he be notified with full particu-
lars, including duties and compen-
sation, whenever the Public Service
Reserve learns of need, in public
or private employment. for services
in the national interest of man of
his qualifications.
Membership in the Reserve is open
to men of all kinds of ability and at
tainment, from that of the unskilled
laborer to the most highly trained
professional man. 1t has been given
the form of a national organization,
the members of which are given q
certificate of enrolment and but
ton, in order to make a more effec-
tive organized appeal to the patriotic
impulse to service.
A great number of difficult prob
lens are involved in the task of ap-
plying the reserve man, woman and
boy labor of the country to the
places where they will be of most
service, but the government has
them we'll in hand and in month or
two this giant arm of labor will be
felt effectively in many branches of
work where emergency demands the
prompt organization of working
forces or the rapid increase of or
ganizations already operating.
