army will be multiplied to many times

oording to army reports has been a
brilliant success. The chief fear,
when the first detachments of natives
were sent to France was that climatic
conditions would prove an obstacle,
particularly the rigor of the European
winter. The mortality last winter.
however, was very low. and the
disease that was most dreaded, pneu-

TIFF RADCLIFFE BOOSTER CLUB
CHAUTAUQUA ...!
W. c. 7. U. PreSumptorum.

Several weeks ago the three
Sunday schools of West Liberty
inaugurated a movement to raise
a flag over the court house, the
school building and each of the
three church buildings in town.
A small contribution was taken
up at the christian church Sun
day school and a committee con-
,, sisting of members of the Baptisl
and Methodist churches appoint
ed to solicit subscriptions on the
outside. A goodly sum was col
lected and the flags ordered, as
we understand. The flag rails
ings were to have taken place on
last Saturday, July IA, but the
flags did not arrive and the exert
cises had to be postponed until
next Saturday, July 81. 1t was,
understood that the Sunday
schools, inasmuch as the move
ment originated with them, were
to have charge of the ceremonies
and would be entitled te a modi-
cum, at least, of the credit if any
credit was due, but! The cherry
looked to red ripe-the melon too
luscious and juicy, and in steps
the W. C. T. U. (the local branch
of that organization, Imean) and,
with a display of gall and pre-
sumption seldom surpassed, and
attempts, and perhaps succeeds,
in "hogging" the whole affair
lexcept the humiliation which
would be attendant upon failure.
If the VIC. T. u, as an or
ganization. raised any money to
help buy the flags we have not
been so informed, and it is a safe
gamble that the amount con-
tributed by the individual men,
bers, especially the leaders in
this purleining coup, would not
buy a very big 1bo-ka,"
The w. C. I. U. as an organi-
-lzation, is kplendid. 1t has ac-
complisheA untold good in its
particular field, but when self
exploiting individuals prostitute
the aims and purposes of the
organization in the manner re-
fered to above it becomes a sham
and a by-word. tits our opinion
that the flag raising will be a
pretty small affair, that the
, local W. C. T. U. zyx will earn
all the glory they will be able to
grab out the affair, and that the
! Sunday schools will have the bet,
ter end of the joke (for a joke
n is what it will be) after all.

The Formative Years.

In the Woman's Home Com
panion a writer says: Fathers
must realize, as we'll as mothers,
that the first five years of the
child's life are the most impor-
tant in the child's development.
1t is then that he is most forma-
tive, most impressionable; it is
then that he needs most serious
and careful thought from both
parents. And if the child is
properly handled through this
period, half the battles of the
future man in the child are won.
