Very little Of the money loaned TO our
allies, says Secretary of the Treasury,
MeAdOo, goes out Of the United States.
Most of il is spent right here for war
materials and f0odstuffs. The money
we are advancing is not a contribution
il is loan, on which they viii pay IN
terest and which ultimately viii be re-
paid in full. Our allies are looked upon
by us as solvent peoples. without ready
money but with perfectly good credit.
Their expenditures Of this money in
this country are supervised by US. Their
purchases are made with the advice and
assistance of our War Industries Board.
This system not only protects the bOr-
rowing ally but prevents competitive
bidding against the other allies and the
United States herself, and obtains for
the borrower the same price, the same
terms, and the same treatment our own
government demands in making its own
purchases
When one remembers that the loans
made to our allies enable them to do the
fighting that otherwise the American
Army would have to do at much ex-
pense, not only of men but of money,
money which would not be returned to
Us and lives that could never he restor,
ed. the wisdom of our policy in finane-
ing our allies is plain to everyone. It
is not only a duty to them that we are
performing in lending them part of our
great wealth; il IS a great duty we are
performing to our soldiers and sailors
and our Nation in making our allies
powerful and effective, thus lessening
the work and danger and suffering of
our own men and in bringing the war to
an earlier close.

That government report says, gas
0liue production in the United states
has increased from 35,000,0O0 to 10000.
600 barrels year since 1914, 80 has
the price.
That new regulations in England say
shoes must not have uppefs OF leather
exceeding inches, nor of any other
material exceeding inches in height.
These regulators better watch out how
they tamper with feminine fashions.
That the Post Office Department is
telling Of a man at a environment re-
garding whom that story Was elrculat-
ed that he was lonesome and had never
received a letter since arrival in camp.
Then came the deluge. In one mail he
received ! 200 letters, 10 special dellv-
cry letters and parcels, and - ordinary
parcels. Investigation showed he
could neither read nor write. He WAS
found surrounded BY several other sol
diers who were helping him with his
mail
That when an American becomes a
soldier he wants to fight-no sissy job
for him. A government report says:
when men called under the seleetive
service law reach the environments they
are given, so far as practicable, their
choices Of army service. Infantry is
most often preferred, Artillery second,
Engineer divisions are third in popular
ity. and quartermasters work fourth.
Investigations so far made by the COM
mittee on elassifieations of personnel
in the army, which has the matter in
charge, prove that only ? per cent of
the men attempt to secure nonhazar-
dous positions.

N. 3. church Announcement.

Last Sunday morning the new minis
ter, Rev. G. B. Martin, Of Leadville
Colorado, preached his first sermon il
the new church, and for q few days
has met with a good many Of the people
Of the community, and altogether has
made an extra good impression with a
all. We are glad he Is with us, and We
feel thankful that he Is to be with n
for the next year. Mr.. Martin also has
Expressed himself several times as being
well pleased with his new field, people
country, church and home. and was es
tecially well pleased with the program
Of the children Sunday night
On Tuesday morning he started e
Seattle to spend the holidays with his
parents, wife and family, 50 there wiz
be no preaching in the church next Sun
lay, but the congregation is asked q
attend the other churches Of the town
where we know all win be welcome.
The Sunday school win be at 10 a. m.
as usual and all are cordially invited
to attend.
The church was crowded Sunday
night. The Christian ehuzeh did not
hold its services that night, but its
members came over and all united In
the Christmas eve entertainment.
The program was given by the Phi
mary and Junior classes, and was Ger.
tainlv entertaining. The whole program
went along without a hitch or blunder.
Notwithstanding the fact that the corps
Of teachers and the classes had only
been training for one week for the en-
tertainment and il certainly showed the
ability and painstaking care Of the
teachers, proved their interest in all the
children they can get around them, and
someway IL makes a fellow wonder why
more Of the parents do not come out and
help in the good work. The children
suIe proved that the teachers had good
material to work with, they certainly
did fine. II was wonderful to see some
Of the little tots 60 up before all that
audience and get so many songs and
out Of their systems, they
sure did extra well and then some, and
we saw and heard many express sur
prise that they all did 80 well.
One Of the very fine things Of the
evening was the gift Of the good clock
to he church by Miss St0ufer and her
lass Of third year Juniors, and the en-
pertaining manner in which II was CIV
IN. The dialogue that the class gave
rs vas original, and production Of the
teacher, Miss Isabel Stoufer, and Miss
: ranees johnson.
We all extend our thanks TO the
teachers and pupils. XXX

LINE-UP FOR AMERICA

One of the foremost hardware com.
panies of this country has issued a
booklet that is one Of the finest pieces
Of pure patriotism. This booklet is di-
reeted to its travelling men, and con-
tains some sound advice as to their at
titude toward the government in its
conduct Of the war. 1t advises the men,
whatever their politics may be, to re-
frain from any criticism Of the admin
istration, assuring them that our lead
ers are doing all that mortal men can do
to bring this country through the crisis
that faces US. 1t also reminds them
that all the really big men of the ma
ti0n have forgotten, for the time be-
ing, that they were either Republicans
or Democrats. and are standing Shout
der to shoulder with the President and
his fellow laborers.
This is loyalty Of the purest brand.
And IL is an example that more could
follow with profit. Every idle criticism
of those in authority Is Just so much
influence against the cause to which
we are irrevOeably pledged 1t is Just
so much adverse force that our leaders
must overcome to win. And worst of
all, il all tends to encourage the enemy
The most idle and thOughtless criticism
BY Americans of their government IS
waited straight to Berlin, and by the
time it reaches there it is expanded to
represent the common sentiment Of
Americans.
President Wilson Is not asking for
our loyalty on the ground Of his dem
oeraey. He doesn Z ask it on the ground
of his learning or superior attainments.
He asks our allegiance because the
American people have placed him in a
position where he is largely responsible
for the welfare of the nation, and il
were ingratitude on our part, after plae-
ing him there, to eravenlv desert him
and leave him to bear the great burden
alone, and worse still, hampered at ev-
cry step BY our senseless complaints
American soldiers are on the firing
line in France. They are going across
BY thousands and hundreds Of thous
aRds. No army can give its best ser
vice that has not the solid moral sup
port of its home people. It is treacherv
of the worst kind to send our boys 10
fight our battles, and then bieker and
quarrel among ourselves as to methods
and means. We have men of the high
est character as our leaders. Let MS
have faith in their ability and integrity,
and instead of annoying and nagging,
support them to the last dollar and the
last drop of our blood. That what our
boys win do, and can we do lessf

merriment and happiness to many. To
others the sad demands Of war over

The yellow has gone from the naples,
The birds, fly away to the South.

A trumpet with storms in its mouth.
Ere long and the snow will be falling
The twilight come early and cold.
And the beautiful runes of the summer
Shall be but as tales that are told.
Yet now Is the time for Thanksgiving
For music and greetings and mrth;
song for the old folk we honor
song for the little ones birth,
In the homes we joyfully gather,
As gayy we sit at the board,
We lift up praise to the Father:
Accept our Thanksgiving, o Lord!
For the land of our love and our freedom,
For harvests in byre and bin,
For the flag on our school and our steepe.
For fruits in our wealth garnered in.
Dear Lord, when count up thy mercies
Bewildered we pause in the task
So swift and so large is thy goodness,
Outrunning the favors ask
The kindred come home for Thanksgiving,
Sweet children. old men with gray hair;
And sometimes the poor and the stranger
The love and the tenderness share
God make us like him in our giving,
Like him in grace and our love.
And so shall the light of our living
Be caught from his temple above.
