all others ought to know that the
kind of religion that Max Nordau

that the "Mizrahim' are also Zion

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We call the readers attention to
the report of the Minneapolis War
Relief Committee printed On another
page. We doubt if there is another
city in the country that can boast
of as good a showing as Minneapo-
lis has made both in the amount sub
scribed and the amount collected,
i. e. the small percentage Of delin-
quency on the part of subscribers
But the Minneapolis committee has
done more. It has taken care of
part of the state, and has raised
goodly amount from that source. 1t
only shows what a few men, with
genuinely Jewish hearts, Jewish
brains and Jewish energy can do.
Small as the number of delinquent
subscribers, and the amount due
from them are, it is regrettable that
any of it should exist at all. What
petty souls some men must have not
to live up to such sacred obllga-
ton, and that promptly, too.

MENDELE IS NO MORE.

Mendele Mocher Sphorim (Sha-
lom Jacob Abramovitz) has passed
away. The "Zeide" (grandfather)
of Yiddish literature, as the younger
writer's called him, is no more.
In his death the last of the noble
triumvirate in the domain of Yid-
dish-Peretz, Shalom Aleichem and
Mendele-is lost to u.s.
Mendele has enriched Hebrew lit
erature, too, with brilliant sketches
and stories. But in Yiddish he had
no superiors, and few rivals. And
he was the pioneer, the pathfinder in
this field. When he began to write,
Yiddish was despised language,
the language of the ignorant and
vulgar, and what literature it had
was of a low order. With the ap-
pearance of his first work, "The Pet
ty Soul' (Dos Kleine Menshele) a
new era in Yiddish literature began.
Best of all will he be remembered by
that striking allegory of his, 'Dob-
bin" (Die Kliatshe), in which he
compares the Jewish people to a
mare that everyone uses and abuses,
leads and drives to suit his own
pleasure. Old Mendele How we'll
he knew the life of his people; how
deeply he penetrated into his peo-
pies soul! And how masterfully he
expressed it's wees and sorrows!
Thank God, he lived to see the be-
ginning of a new era in his peonle's
life, the dawn of a new day and his
last days on earth must have been
filled with sweet contentment and
peace. In the affections Of CRATE
full people, Mendele's name and
fame will remain enshrined forever.

Thrift and economy are great vir-

times like these, when the future is
50 uncertain When by our thrift

discharging this duty in the sim

manner, by selling us War Savings

100000 fund for the Jewish War
Sufferers Relief. New York, if it
tried hard, could give twice and
three times the amount without no
ticing it. New York is New York,
and there is no getting away from
it. What pleases us most about the
New York campaign is the fact that
the Jewish Labor Unionists of New
York have pledged one days wages
for the relief fund. For poor wage
earners this is real sacrifice, and
they deserve full credit for it.

Season Fine, Says Thompson

81 have never seen as fine, fall
growing season than the autumn just
closing" says j. F. Thompson, an Up
per Valley rancher. here Monday. "All
of my garden truck grew with vigor
Of springtime up to few days ago,
when we had our first real killing
frost. / cut my alfalfa four times,
and secured fine yield of hay at the
last cutting. | have also cut my clover
three times this year"
1t is rare that Upper Valley growers
are able to secure more than three
cuttings of alfalfa, and to get three
crops of clover sets the record.
Mr.. Thompson, who came to town to
buy Liberty Bond, when greeting his
friends always extended his left hand.
Several days ago he was out at his
barn to catch cockerel that had left
the main flock of chickens and was
roosting in the harness room. The
rancher made a dive for the chicken,
but the cockerel saw him coming and
skipped upward. Instead of grasping
the plump drumsticks Mr.. Thompson s
right hand, with fingers outstretched,
came in such violent contact with the
barn wall that the bones of finger
were broken.
