THE TOBACCO FUND.

By the end of the next week New

For the most part, the men in Ut contingent will be new to military kll and the exactitudes of army life. lev will naturally become homesick. l lev will in all probability look back lon the freedom of the old life and moan their fate. In due time, of furse, this feeling will wear off and ley will become accustomed to the
 w order of things. Then, when they e full fiedged soldiers they will know

Our Boys.

Our Boys. (Judd M. Lewis, in Houston POst). Few were the cheers as our boys went
 by, And the lights of the city which had
 been high Seemed to have dimmed like our eyes, with tears; Slight was the clapping and few the
 cheers As the khaki ranks adown the street, And the rhythm born of their march
 ing feet Seemed to envelop and be part | Of us, in tune to our throbbing heart Our boys! Our babies of yesterday! Behind The Colors they marched
 away; Out of the homes of the yesteryear. Out of the ways to their feet grown :" dear, !. Out of their childhood and child ', '~hood's joys To the, chance of battle-Our boys! . Our boys And. we stood by in the crowded
 street, And heard the trend of their march ing feet. A smile last night had been out of
 place; Their heads were high, and on every
 face Was a light ne'er seen on the sea or
 sky, And their tread was firm as they went
 on by, And their eyes were straight to the
 front and they Seemed to see the trenches and the
 affray And other things that were past our God bless and keep them, our fighting Our fighting men! Who are in the
 fight. For homes and freedom and God and right Who are in the fight that the world
 may be Forever safe for democracy When our marching boys reach the
 battle front Where our allied comrades have borne
 the brunt, And up and over the breastworks Then God be with them and speed
 the blow!

You Know the Type.
(Atlanta Constitution. }

II am perfectly willing to sign tho food conservation card,' said one housewife whose complaint was si1ni- lar to that of many others, "but my husband doesn't want me to. We talked it all over and he says he won't go without the things he has been accustomed to and he wont eat any meat substitutes or war breads. You know how men are.
 Yes, we know the type. We know how some men are-gross, unimagin- ative, gluttonous and perhaps patrio< tic till it comes to the first trivial sacrifice they are called upon to make for their country. This man is also the kind who says the place of wom- en is in the kitchen and who is quite earnest in his conviction that the man of the family earns all the money and the wife should be content to get what she can. Yes. dear wife, We know how men are. We konw the type. And We pity you more than we pity the country that is depend, ing upon the sacrifices of suh men for assistance. !

REDUCING THE COST.

Having fixed the price of wheat at S2.2O a bushel the governments food control committte hints that there might be a possible reduction of the cost of loaf bread. In order to bring this about there must be, naturally, and the Government. The bakers having for some time past grown &C., customed to the joy of receiving ten cents for a loaf of bread may be ex> pected to balk before being defeated. If the Government makes up it's mind however, there should be no difficulty in getting back the old five cent loaf of bread with it's full four teen ounces.
 That the five cent loaf of bread is a practicable commodity is admitted by members of the national food con- trol committee. On the other hand the bakers have begun to put in their objections. They have lost no time in announcing that such a practice will be impossible. With such a re- duCtion in the cost of material it will take a lot of convincing argument on the part of the bakers to make the ultimate consumer believe the i've cent loaf an impossibility.
 It will require but little work on the part of the United States govern n,ent to ascertain in very short order what is possible and what is not pos- sible in this direction. Just how many peCkS or bushels of wheat are required to go in the making of barrel of flour is not a military se- cret Just what is the cost of mill ing is known or can be easily ascer- tained. Just what the freight rates are from one point of the United States to another is on the books of

It did not take the New York state convention of suffragists very long to draft resolutions condemning the White House pickets. In that one in- stance, one million women went on record as against this brand of mili- tancy Just so soon as the White House pickets learn their work is "out of .order'' at this time, just so soon will the cause of woman suffrage begin to recuperate from blow dealt by members of it's own family.

The Photographer of Ypres. (PitsburEh Gazette Times.)

Thick skinned indeed must be the German who, after the war, can ig-. nore serenely the reminders of his country's crimes. His period of so- cial probation will be longer than his governments term of international trial; wherever he goes he will ba made conscious of the misery and ruin his mad monarch's murderous clique wrecked on the world. The photographer of Ypres Is getting , ready for the future and with his camera has been preparing souventra for tho Germans to take home when they come visiting to France. With brave persistence the photographer remained in the town after the Ger nan onslaught and was there through out the first battle of Ypres. AS socn as he could go about in safety he be- gan to make a Before and After: series of pictures. drawing on his stock of negatives used in times of peace to show a street, building or monument as it was, and placing be- side it a photograph Of the sama scene after the German Kultur bath. This would have been enough for an ordinary mind, but apparently the French camera man has ideas. Wher, the second battle of Ypres began tho, British ordered him to leave for his own safety. This he did. but cama back afterward and began a new series of pictures to be called Be- fore and After--and After.''
 The children and the cfildren's children of this generation of Ger- mans will help pay the penalties for the sins of their fathers Useless to argue against the injustice of this:' the French, English and Belgians-l and possibly now the Americana will not be quick to forgive.

BACK TO SCHOOL.


 Labor unions, parent-teacher asso- clatlons, womens clubs, churches and other religious bodies, and many other organizations directly concerned with education have been enlisted by the United States Bureau Of Education in a campaign for the maintenance of school efficiency as a special patriotic duty this year. In his appeal Dr.. Claxton, commissioner of education, points out the existing fear lest public schools shall suffer because of con- ditions growing cut of the entrance of the United States into the war. He emphasizes the fact that as a measure of present defense and for the future welfare of the country, as we'll as for the individual benefit of the children it is of the greatest importance that the schools be maintained in the high est standards of efficiency.
 Especially important, in the view of the commissioner, is prompt and regu- lar attendance at school and proper employment during out-of-school hours. These, he believes, will be the chlldren's surest protection against temptations to juvenile delinquencies. Labor unions are especially appealed to to urge the children now in high schools to complete their work. Su- perintendents of schools have been asked to cooperate with the represen- tatives of labor unions in the various communities in the efforts to keep children in school.
 Whatever is done by the boys and girls beyond the age of eighteen, the younger children must be kept in school. The importance of this con- tention has been often emphasized. It cannot be too often repeated. Even the High school boys and girls should not be taken away from their studies if it is at all possible for them to con- tinue their work. When the Selec- tie Draft Law went into effect it placed under the military arm of the government many young men who were in the first and second and sometimes their graduating year in college. These places will be vacant during the present scholastic term. Others must be prepared to take these same places.
 West Point the greatest military school in the nation, has graduated its class of 1918 in 1917. This alone shows the great demand for young men with military knowledge. As the war continues, which it will in all probability for two or three years more, there will be more inroads made on the youth of the country It Is best, therefore, that we look upon the little children of today as those who must take the supreme posts in the nations affairs in very few years to come. And, to this end, they must be properly educated. Let their educa- ton not be neglected. Let them take down their books from the shelves and go back to school, where they belong.
