lifted from the world if every
woman could honestly say the
same. No doubt many women
can say that their ideal man is
the opposite of her husband.
Perhaps it may be the wife's
fault, or that she has changed
her ideals, or maybe they have
lacked those essentials to pre-
serve or bring out that which
they consider to be a part of an
ideal husband. Be this as it may
a perfect husband exists only in
thought, without the ideal wife.
True worth of ideals consists in
learning to value them for them
selves alone, regardless of their
realization. They are the mo-
tive for our lives. But for the
natural human being we prefer
the real to the ideal. We hus-
bands are far from perfect. Yet
all the real things of life are
seen thru the spectacles of idea
lism.

In the Atlantic we find little
island called Tristan dan Cunha.
1t is an empty, dismal place.
Fierce storms, incessant rains,
and Stunned by ships is the lot
Of the 80 inhabitants of this is
land. They have no useful tim
ber. Their homes consist of
huge piles of stones thatched
with grass. The rats eat the
grain in the ground and their
only source Of flour is in the
passing ships after rowing many
miles. There is no future for
the island, no government, no
school, no church. One would
naturally think that these un-
fortunates would only be too
glad to be transported to a more
comfortable place. In fact the
British government has renewed
it's efforts to have them trans
ported to any place in the Brit
ish Empire and give them a new
start in life. No one is willing to
go. There on this black, empty
island is their home-and there
they will stay. Perhaps one lot
in life is not much better than
the other after all: but. some
things are an absolute essential
to us. And one of these some
things" is a place we call home.
Wealth and luxuries may be
good to have, but all the gold in
the world cannot take the place
of that little place that is lit and
warmed by love-our home.
Love, confidence, and fidelity are
the only treasures without which
a true home cannot exist. And
these three essentials do not live
outside of ourselves; but in our
hearts. A home is not made of
that which is in the hand, but
what is in the heart.

SPARKS
FROM IGNATIAS
GENERAL PERSHING

The more we see and hear of
General John j. Pershing, the
more we are convinced that he is
the right man in the right place.
That he is a good soldier his
record in the Spanish-American
and his services in the Philli-
pines amply prove. AS an or
ganizer and disciplinarian re-
view his doings in Mexico. Like
all great men, he has vision. In
the short time he has been in
France, he has grasped the situa-
tion throroly. Listen to what he
says: "The righteousness of our
cause cannot decide this conflict.
1t is the fibre, the stuff, the grit,
the nerve of the civilian peoples
which will decide it. Be sure of
this. The side which lasts the
longest, the side which endures
is the side which will give it's
character to the future of civili-
zation. The quality of national
fibre will decide this war and de-
eide the future of the world"
We who live in the rural COM
munities have not really under
stood or felt what war really
means. We have lived in peace,
security, and prosperity. The
words of General Pershing are
at once a call and a challenge to
us. BY and by the real and aw-
full thing called war is going to
be brought home to us. When
this thing happens, we will un-
derstand more fully what Gen.
eral Pershing means. France,
England and Germany have sor-
rowed over their reverses and
nerved themselves to see war
thru to it's bitter end.
What our allies and foes have
done, America can do. What
they have done, America must
do. This war will not be won by
the boys we send to France, you
and l must do our share. This
war will be won just as much by
the people at home. Our cour-
age, faith, supply of money and
amunitions, failure to complain
and waver, and the tonics our
boys in the trenches need. Those
who know, say, that the soldiers
efficiency depends on the fact
that they know that the nation
is with them. Now is the time
to show your patriotism. Croco-
die tears amount to nothing.
Here is also an opportunity for
the non-patriot to show his
colors.
