WOMEN TO HELP WIN WAR.
Readjustments in Trade and Industry
for Their Employment.

In the innumerablc adjustments and
reorganizations made necessary by the
war some persons have lost balance and
become undulv pessimistie. Because dc
partment stores have reduced their
stats they think trade is going to be
lad. Because merchants are hcsitant
about ordering freely they make dire
tu1 predictions. The truth Is that many
persons who would be doing their
spring shopping are buying Liberty
bonds, or, by reason of their menfolk
preparing for army service, are giving
more thought To economy and there
fore are postponing in matters of
purchase except for absolute necessities
Unquestionably there is a halt but
there is no evidence of slump in
trade.

SERVICE
OF MEMORIAL WEEK
Civil War Veterans and Members of
Womans Relief Corps Hear Ser
mon by Rev. Douglas G. Guest.

Memorial week opened with a rain
storm, but good number of the Civil
war veterans and members of the Won

the Methodist church and listened to an
intensely interesting sermon by Rev.
Douglas G.. Guest. There was special
music by the choir and a bass solo by
Abbott 3. Richmond.
Rev Mr.. Guest took for his text |

TEMPLE HAS BEEN
ERECTED IN SOUTH AMERICA

TOXIC, Oct. 4.-Rev. Taian Uyeno,
of the Buddhist sect of Sodo, has re-
turned to Japan from Peru after
building in that country the first
Japanese temple in South America.
The priest went to Peru in 1908
with 1000 JAPANESE emigrants with
instructions to propagate Buddhism.
Afetr great hardships, working first as
a laborer and then as maker of
confectionery, Uyeno slowly amassed
enough money to construct temple
which he called "Jionji' or Great
Mercy" Later he founded a primary
school for the education Of the child
rem OF the emigrants.
The priest says that when he was
building the temple he was persecut-
ed by Peruvians, and that attempts
vert made to burn both temple and
school The relation between the
Japanese emigrants an the native
people have, however. now become
peaceful and friendly

Farewell to nature, ere were showed
Beneath the wintry pail;
Farewell to rose and to birds
Before the wind blows raw,
And why not just few brief words
To say farewell to straw?
Farewell to straws through which

Our ice-cold lemonade;
Farewell to straw hats which we've

Away-now bent and frayed;
Farewell to straw votes that we've

For straws have been brought down,

To covering our plants.
