LETTER FROM A SELECTED MAN
AT CAMP MEADE TO HIS MOTHER

CAMP MEADE, Admiral Nd. Sept. "a.
Dear Mother-It may be difficult for me
to prove to your satisfaction that en-
joyed my first Sunday in Little Penn" but
after reading my account concerning the
days happenings you will at least agree
that military camp is not a place to find
an indigo blue atmosphere on the Sab
bath.
To be sure, It was quiet. but that is to be
expected in any place where the ordinary
conventions of society are recognized To
begin with We had a perfect day, one of
those balmy autumn days that make Dixie
land delight, and besides that we had
virtually nothing TO do, for military drills
were suspended.
Being free, or to be more exact, given
ample time for pleasure, for we could not
leave the reservation, the boys were some-
what apprehensive during the early hours
as to the way in which the day could be
spent.
But we were not long in determining that
Sunday, after all, is a short and profitable
day in camp. Uncle Sam has provided for
that, and IL the National Army recruit
takes advantage OF the Sunday offerings
he will find much to his advantage The
chaplains reign supreme on Sunday, and
after my experience today I am willing to
extend that privilege to them.
SENDS ABSTRACT OF SERMON
By doing so I am certain that I shall
be better patriot and soldier and develop
an even greater love for you. In tho army
man is taught many things, but two
things in particular namely, love of country
and love of mother.
I learned that much today ana was so
impressed that I am sending YOU an alb
stract of sermon delivered in the Y. NJ C.
A. building by the Rev Francis A. Kelley,
chaplain of the New York Regiment, and
director of Catholic activities. Father Kel-
ley conducted three masses for his own boys
and then conducted nondenomnational
service in the Y. NJ. c. A. barracks.
I shall quote from his sermon, which was
based upon Kiplings poem, Mother OF
Nine" and let you decide whether it is
necessary for mothers to worry about their
soldier sons.

spent but few words i'm reaching the pithy
part Of his sermon, for in ringing voice
lie said: what does the boy owe to his
mother? IIe owes first his life secondly,
his care, and to a great extent his forma o.
tive habits which give him his character.
These lie takes from his mother because of
her guarding, guiding spirit throughout his
life from early infancy until his last days.
His woes are her worries; his joys her
pleasure. Though in the eyes OF all men
one may develop into manhood and begin &c
do for himself, vet in the eyes of a mother
he is always her child needing protection.
guidance and assistance.
SACRIFICE FOR MOTHER
"'ro one such what does not a man owe ?
Is his life. his fortune or his friends, his
comforts and his pleasures too much to sac
rllce, if by that sacrifice such a friend may
prosper? This Is the way in the domestic
relations of men, and comparatively It is
the same in his relations TO the nation
which guards, guides and always protects
him.
Can we estimate what a man owes to
land from which he obtains and through
which he enjoys rights and privileges such
rs America gives to those which she chooses
TO call her citizens?
"She is solicitous for their health. She
Is solicitous for their homes and she seeks
to give them by every proper means those

Our battles are hers, as are also our
cares. As in tho former case, can morta
man count any sacrifice too great for such A
friend" We owe our all to her. She, with
right, expects our love and devotion in
return, and. by Justice, we must render it TO
her. Therefore, pray you make your life

your loyalty. your devotion and above all,
your gratitude.
When you have done this may you well
feel that you have done your bit, that you
have assisted materially in prolonging her
existence to your own glory and TO the
saving happiness Of future generations"

upon this advice with my comrades that

love, your dutiful soldier son, BOB.

FUEL NECESSITY
ROAD MAKES USE OF Stacked
COAL.

Mitchell, Dec. 2S.-Coal that sew
eral weeks ago was pronounced use
less and abandoned as far as their
use was concerned by the Milwaukee
railroad, has been the means of saw
ing Mitchell from a serious coal fam
inc. according to railroad men here.
The coal, $500 tons of 1t, was
hauled here last summer and became
slack laying in the local yards. 1t
was found this fall that the coal was
useless as engine fuel and 1t was
abandoned. However, when the
shortage began to pinch two weeks
ago the road tried again to use the
coal. and have made 1t serve to haul
other coal here.
Out of the original pile only 500
tons are left-three days supply.
Thieves, the railroad men say, have
accounted for a large amount of coal
and special guards have watched ov-
er the fuel day and night. At least
1000 tons have disappeared in this
manner. 1t is said.

VAST DOMAIN
IMMENSE COUNTRY OUT0ROWTH
OF HUMBLE BEGINNING AT
MOSCOW.

It. Lothrop Stoddard in Review of
Reviews: The Russian revolution OF
1917 is a landmark OF capital impor-
lance in world history comparable to
the French revolution of 1889. For
Russia 1t ushers In a long period of
readjustment and reconstruction
which will consume many years or
even generations. For the world at
large Ii sets In motion political and
social forces whose ultimate conse
quences may well be felt in the re-
hottest corners of the earth.
The tremendous possibilities in
herent in the Russian problem may
be grasped by a glance at the bare
size of the area and population in
volved. The Russian empire as 1t
existed in 1914 covered an area Of
$500, 600 square miles (nearly three
times the size of the United States),
while Its population numbered 49,
100000 souls. Stretching uninter-
ruptedly from central Europe to the
Pacific and from the Arctic ocean to
the mountainous backbone of Cen
trail Asia. this huge political organ
ism ~engrossed nearly one-sixth of the
total land surface of the globe.
Like all the great empires the be-
ginnings of modern Russia were
humble and obscure. Russia's germ
cell was the small principality of
Moscow, that, towards the close OF
the middle ages, arose in the center
of those vast European plains which
are the historical home of the Rus
sian race. The principality of Mos
cow vas only one of several Russian
states which lay exposed to the dew
astations of the Tartars, Asiatic no.
MAIDS, who from their seats in south
eastern Russia. terrorized the whole
country with their savage raids. The
little principality OF Moscow. how
ever, produced a line OF able rulers
who performed the double task of
breaking the Tartar yoke and uniting
all the petty Russian states into a
single realm-Muscovy-of which
they took the title of ~"tsars." They
also laid the foundation of greater
Russia by encouraging Russian ad-
venturers to cross the Ural noun
tains and occupy the uninhabited 81
berian plains to the Pacific. just as
our pioneers later crossed the Appa-
lachians and won the whole breadth
OF the North American continent for
the United States.

SUGARS ANALYzED
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF BEET
AND CANE SUGAR ARE PRE-
CISELY THE SAME.

Brookings, Dec. 28.-The chem
ical properties of beet sugar and
cane sugar are identical and their
solubility and their degree of sweet
less are identical, according to b. A.
Dunbar, associate professor of chem
istry at State college.
I'VE are often asked the ques-
tion," says Prof. Dunbar, "as to
whether there is any marked differ
ence between cane and beet sugar
from the standpoint of the house
wife. The chemist is unable to dis
tinguish between the two sugars by
any known chemical test. AS to COM
parative adaptability of the sugar
from the two sources, particularly
for use in jelly making and preserv-
ing. there were many complaints re-
garding the sugar from beets several
years ago-complaints which have
been handed down to the present
more as legend than as fact.
1T is true that when sugar from
beets was first placed on the mar
ket, there seemed to be some diff
Guilty in making jelly by its use. But
later processes for the complete pur-
ification of the product have become
so nearly perfect that this objection
has lost all of its force. There
seems to be practically no difference
in the degree Of purity of the sugars
as marketed, and 1t is very safe to
say that they are absolutely alike in
their value for household use"

URGE WAR WIVES CLUBS
National Defense Council Wants
One in Every Town.
Would crystalize War Sacrifice Spirit
Among Women Left at Home,
Is Suggestion.

Washington. Dec. 2s.-The woman's
committee of the Council of National
Defense wishes to see a war wives
club in every town.
Suggesting the idea through the
United Press, the committee explained
that such local, state and national
clubs would crystalize the war sacri-
fee spirit among the women at home
just as 1t is crystalized among their
men at the front when they go over
the top" together.
The committee feels that not only Is
there a natural bond of sympathy and
interest among these women but
that very material advantages rest in
an organization that would give the
women who are giving most-their
loved ones-a local, state and national
voice in matters affecting them.
Would Share Common Grief.
But above ALL" said a member OF
the committee, would be the good Of
sharing a common grief, a common
anxiety. held up by a common patriot
ism and courage.
They would stimulate each other
to brave endurance and would find in
each others society the only perfect
sympathy with : their own private
trouble.
There IL nothing that so takes
away bitterness of grief as robbing it
Of Its isolation. Personal sorrow is
lost In the exhilaration that comes
with general sacrifice to a great cause
such losses have a quality of glory
and Of greatness"
Socially, the committee suggests, 1t
would give them an opportunity to
meet and keep in touch with each
| other frequently.

PORK PRODUCTION
EXPERTS NOW In FIELD DIRECT
ING CAMPAIGN FOR 10 PER
CENT MORE PIGS.

Brookings, Dec. 2S.-Four prac-
tical South Dakota farmers are now
in the field directing the government
extension campaign for a 10 per cent
increased pork production in this
state. They are Joe Hill, leader, Of
Alexandria; Matt Ginsbach, Of Hart
ford: G. w. Stanley. of Dolton, and
A. l.. Haynes, of Scotland. Mr.. Gins
bach will work In Lincoln and Union
counties and the eastern half of Nc
Cook; Mr.. Stanley in western Nc
Cook and Turner and Clay counties,
while Mr. Haynes will Charles
Mix, Bon Homme and Hutchinson
counties. Counties not represented
through special workers will receive
help by calling on the State College
extension force. Mr.. Hill is working
through all other extension forces
for one great drive. Fourteen coun-
ty agricultural agents are active in
their various counties. Four emer-
gency food agents are in the field to
be followed by many more as fast as
men are secured and appointments
made.
The government idea to produce
10 per cent more pigs next spring
may be met by breeding now 10 per
cent more sows on Dakota farms, ac-
cording to G. E. Morrison, extension
specialist in live stock. This is a
proposition that should appeal to ev
