M'GRARY ACQUITTED
 OF BREAKING LAWS

 A large number of members of the congregation attended the trial, and tlere was quite a demonstra of satisfaction when the decision was an nounced.
 McCrary was arrested Sunday while preaching on a warrant, issued upon the affidavit of a member of the church. It was charged that Nc Crary had been busted from the pas torate, but refused to relinquish the pulpit. A card issued several days ago declared that, at special meet ing of members of the church, author ization was given to deny that Rev. McCrary had been defeated in the, election .and that he had disturbed the peace in any way.

Edward Mott Wooley writing for the National Security League says:
 If Germany should win the war 1t would mean the extension of her domain into the United States, with government by the soldier and police. We can only guess how far this Ger man dominion would extend. but the last ounce of blood would be extract cd. They would take as much of our country as they could hold. and in addition they would wiring from us ransom of billions of dollars. be- lieve that the people of this land are not yet awake to the magnitude of the peril. There is still lethargy that must be shaken off. They do not realize that victory by the Ger mans is within the range of 'possi- bilities. and they don't know what the government is like in Germany.
 But Militarism over there would be nothing beside the autocratic and brutal government they would give us if they had their hands on the rich prize of America.
 But 1t is useless to forecast such a partition of our nation, for we are not going to let it happen. To pre- vent it we will give all the blood we have"
 W Yes, "all the blood we have". But why the blood? Why not save as much of our blood as possible by giv- ing all the unity we can maintain? :? Certainly the blood of our young heroes is more precious than the sac rifices many of us will have to make to preserve unity. and there is no question that with American unity in tact, no foe can find footing in this country.

] chase little five acre tract that he had set his heart upon. One day however, there was great field fire The flames menaced the fence, the barn, and even the home. His father and brothers were at the front fight ing the fire; his mother and sisters were carrying the pails of water to beat out the flames.
 He himself was laboriouSly draw ing this water from the weiL It sud. denly occurred to him that upon his labor depended the fate of the farm and. at the same time he haG vision of that five-acre tract and, also, of a sum of money in the china jar on the mantelpiece, that had teen laid away for the rainy day.
 What chance, and he took it, sending word to his father, that un- less ne should receive the money in the jar he would quit drawing water.
 And he did quit, for his father re- fused to give him the money.
 And 1t happened that a neighbor came along and offered to draw the water for the women, but the man, Etreckter opposed him and would not allow him to draw the water.
 And finally. because his mother was weeping at the destruction that was coming upon her Aome, the father consented, and Strecter was given the sum in the china jar, and he fell to work, and drew the water, and the home was saved, but the fence and the barn were lost, and 50 also was the hay and the corn, and his father and his brothers were burned sorely, because there had not been a continuous unity in the fight against the fire.
 But Strecter bought his five-acre tract. and he said it paved, the way to some wealth for himself.
 But Strector bought his five-acre the sisters and the brothers, he said, were still laboring and .delving to pay off the mortgage on the home, which had been put thereon because of the ravages of the fire, ard, as he said, it was hard on them, because they worked under difficulty, having been so severely burned when he pre- vented the neighbor from taking his place at tn we'll.
 And there is great fire, right now, menacing our home. and we are draw ing water for those at the front to fight it with.
