l learn as the years roll onward
And leave the past behind,
That much have counted sorrow
But proves that our God is kind;
That many flower l longed for
Had hidden thorn of pain,
And many a rugged by-path
Led to fields of ripened grain.
We must live through the weary winter
If we would value the spring;
And the woods must be cold and silent
Before the robins sing.
The clouds that cover the sunshine,
They cannot Danish the sun;
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain is done;
We must stand in the deepest shadow
To see the clearest light,
And from wrongs own darkness
Comes the very strength of right.
Ihe flowers must be buried in darkness
Before they could bud and bloom;
And the sweetest and warmest sun
shine
Comes after the storm and gloom.
So the heart from the hardest trial
Gains the purest Joy of all,
And from lips that have tasted sadness
The sweetest songs will fall.
For as peace comes after suffering,
And love is reward of pain,
So after earth comes heaven
And out of our loss the gain.

NEGROES TO BE CALLED IN NEXT
DRAFT.

With plenty of room available at
the national army cantonments, due
tc the withdrawal to fill up the ma
tional guard and other branches, the
War Department has again modified
its plan for training negro troops for
the national army forces. 1t is now
the purpose, Secretary Baker said, to
train complete unit of negroes at
each of the sixteen cantonments, in
stead of training them only at can
tonments to which considerable
number report. The size of the units
will depend upon the number of ne
gro drafted men from the divisional
areas which supplies each canton
ment, but where there is a large
surplus men will be sent to the posts
with small numbers for consolidation
with the units there.
The first of the drafted negroes
will be modified under the call of
October 3. The number to be taken
from each division will not be uni
form and the allotment has not been
announced

YOU SHOULD CONSERVE THE
FARM MACHINERY.

Put your farm machinery in sheds,
and fix it up in tip-top shape this
winter. The shed will cost some
more than it did before, but the ad-
vance in building materials generally
has not been nearly as great as has
that on machinery.
Secondhand machinery will be
worth money from now on. Saving
the paint on it will make it all bet
ter. Look the old corn binder over
and see if new parts will not fix it
up before buying a new one. If the
grain binder bothered this fall, give
it a good overhauling at at the first
opportunity, and see what new parts
it needs. Send for these parts and
repair it. 1t will pay.
Farm machinery will not only
raise higher in price, but it is very
apt to be scarce for the next several
years. The curtailing of the iron and
steel now used in the manufacture Of
farm machinery is sure to come, and
some preliminary reports state that
the amount allotted to this purpose
will be cut as low as one-half the
amount used last year. In the past
steel and iron have been so cheap we
have formed a habit of wasting it
We must conserve it now. tits a
business proposition and patriotic
duty as well.

TO SMOKE OR NOT TO SMOKE IS
THE QUESTION!
(Courier-Jo


There are a few persons who OPP
pose sending tobacco to the Ameri-
can soldiers in France, upon the
ground that it encourages a habit
which affects injuriously the physical
condition of the addict. This is not
the time for discussing the question
of the injuriousness of tobacco. No
doubt it would be better for the
health of everyone to leave tobacco
severely alone, but it would not be
reasonable, or beneficial to the indi-
vidual or to the army, to attempt to
discourage smoking among soldiers,
who, in a majority of cases, already
have formed the habit, and who are
asked to undergo such hardships that
any consolatory indulgence which is
not Immediately and seriously injuri-
Gus to the health and fitness for ex-
acting duties should be let alone by
hypercritical reformers. The Prohibi-
tionists who are nightly afraid that
an American soldier will get a glass
of French wine, insteau Of a drink of
water perhaps less safe, are no more
unreasonable than those who would
deny to smoker in the trenches
something to smoke.

RAILROADS HELPING IN PRE-.
VENTING COAL SHORTAGE.

The Railroads War Board has re-
ceived reports indicating that the
efforts of the railroads and coal ship
pers to prevent the threatened Goa
shortage in the Northwest during
the coming winter has been more sue
cessful than seemed possible during
the summer With five weeks or
more left before the close of naviga-
ton on the Great Lakes, 23,348, 100
of the 100000 tons, which it is
estimated will be required. have al
ready been sent to the Northwest.
The Commission on Car Service is
now directing efforts to the work of
insuring an adequate coal supply for
domestic and industrial uses of coal
in all other sections of the country.
While a greater supply Of coal has
been mined and shipped than ever
before, the difficulty to-day is that
the consumption all over the country
is greater than ever before.

WHY Is IT,

Why is it, it is often asked, that
people in small towns can find no
better business than prying into 9TH
er peoples business, and then exag-
gerating the truth in regard to the
same. People who pretend to be
Christians, who attend church regu-
larly, who, in the sight of their
neighbors are generous and charita-
BILE, yet who, without the slightest
provocation, pick UP some little mis-
take, or more often, at nothing, will
SO scandalize one as to ruin his or her
reputation for life. While they would
not steal from them worldly goods,
yet they rob him or her of what is
more precious than gold-a good rep
utation. Why can't people practice
the christianity they preach and
"do unto others as you would have
them do unto you?"

The announced intention of coal
minors to strike for from 20 to 70
per cent increases" will be learned
with foreboding by every householder
in the land.
Coal miners are pretty well paid
employees in most instances. Nobody
who has witnessed the living of the
Kentucky coal miners in either the
Western or Eastern fields has failed
to be impressed with their welfare
as compared with that of the average
laborer. We do not pretend to know
the grievances of coal miners all over
the country or to pass hasty judg-
ment upon their attitude, but with
the operators bowling that there is
no profit, and with the miners out
for a raise from 20 to 20" per cent,
where is the consumer to land?
Coal already is at prices we'll nigh
prohibitive. Government regulation
is so far lick and a promise. The
beginning of cold weather is almost
at hand. The uncertainties of the
situation have prevented the filling OF
many coal cellars which ordinarily
are filled in August and September
The outlook hardly could be darker
than it is. Next winter, in all prob.
ability, there will be much suffering
and frequent coal riots. The Govern
ment will confer great boon upon
industries, upon domestic life, upon
war prosecution, if it solves the fuel
