WOODWARD ASKS
RELIEF SUPPORT

The future Of Quakerism depends on
the fullest support possible of the
Friends reconstruction units, Walter
c. Woodward, general secretary of the
Friends in Americas declared IN talk
before delegates to the Yearly Meet
ing.
Whether the future message OF
Ouakerism is to be believed depends
upon the maintenance of the recon.
struction units he said. If the gov
eminent officially recognizes the units
and assigns Quakers, selected for army
service, to them, then the financial
burden will be very great.
Friends have agreed to support these
units if the government will officially
recognize them and assign Friends to
them. 1t is up to Friends then to sup
port the units to their utmost ability.
Mr.. Woodward outlined the program
of work to be done and pointed out that
Friends started to do the relief work
before the United States entered the
war, thus showing that the work was
started, not for the purpose of evad-
ing the selective service law, but to
relieve suffering.

GENERAL FRED fuaSION,

The military service OF the United
States suffered very serious loss with
The death OF General Funston. His
place VIII not De easily filed. For
Funston was an exce1len; soldier. a

Funston was an American type. He
came out of the people as citizen

portunity Tor the winning of military
distinction and leadership 70 the Amer
lean OF the last TWO generations FINN
ston and Wood are typical The vera
successors Of the Union volunteers who
fought the civil war when men left
yardsticks and law offices and farms
and tan yards as citizens to find them
selves famous generals when the war
was over. And so Funston came out
OF the Kansas prairies and won rs
way up by sheer merit.
Who doubts that If the timc shall
come again when the country shall
need such men that they will sprins
up as heretofore al their coum;rys
call. Some one SAID that au orator
might De kicked from every blsn in
America. We have never failed to ind

THE TEuEoRAM.

The telegram is an attempt to
squeeze IS worth Of long distance
conversation into As cents worth Of
space.
Before the telegraph was invented
the only way to reach an absent friend
with, a message of love was to send
ii thru the postoffice and walt until
New Years day for an answer. Some
people distrusted the postoffice. owing
to the difficulty Of finding general de-
livery clerks who could read and write,
so they hired Indian runners and re-
lays of messengers on horseback. This
was expensive, however, ana often re-
suited in tedious delays, due to the
tendency OF the Indian to stop en- route
and inhale the entire contents Of q
brewery.
After telegram has been painfully
written out and the important words
underscored, it Is handed to a base
mental who first asks to have 1t in,
terpreted with the idea Of converting
it into the English language. Many a
business man who prides himself upon
his handwriting has been lastingly
Inundated by some bullet-nosed tele-
graph operator who informs him that
he is not familiar with the Chinese all
phabet. This is very annoying prac-
tice when man is in hurry. and
causes people to wonder why the tele-
graph companies do not require every
employe TO tack up high school
diploma In the office.

APPAkO0SE FARMERS SPEAK Ou1.

a mass meeting of Appenoose farm
ers was held in the court house at Gen.
terv!lle late last week.
Quoting from the report Of the meet
ing in the Centerville Daily Iowegian:
The meeting was one Of the largest
attended and most enthusiastic mass
meetings ever held in Appanoose coun-
ty, and was made up almost altogether
of farmers who have practical
knowledge of road needs.
A representative crowd of Appanoose
county citizens, nine tenths of them
farmers, filed the court room to it's ca
pacity, occupying standing room as
we'll as the seats.
Continuing quotation from the Cen
terville newspaper report this meeting
was called and held to discuss road
legislation and:
After two hours open discussion, the
motion carried with great enthusiasm
was the belief of the meeting that the
Johnston road BIZ! should Dc defeated.
The Appanoose farmers took the
sensible and practical way when they
got together. discussed the problems
before them and came to a very sensi-
BILE conclusion. It is probably true
that a representative meeting Of farm
ers and business men Of practically ev-
cry county in the state would come to
"a similar conclusion on the Johnston
bill after they had discussed it freely
for couple Of hours: for that bill will
not withstand analysis and open dis
cussion.
One OF the causes for the apparent re-
action which have galvanized the John
son bill and which gave temporary lead
ership to the Jonnsons anu the Fitta
was lack of thoughtful discussion
That we must have better roads is the
conclusion of all. Now they are to BE-
