Gods test of manhood is | know, !
Not will he Gomez" but did he
go?"
My son well knew that he might
die,
And yet he went, with purpose
high,
To fight for peace and overthrow
The plans of Christ's relentless
foe.
He dreaded not the battlefield;
He went to make fierce vandals
yield,
If he comes not again to me,
/ shall be sad, but not that he
Went like mana hero true
His part unselfshly to do.
My heart will feel exultant pride
That for humanity he died.
Forgotten gravel" This selfish
plea
Awakes no deep response in me,
For, though his grave | may not
see
My boy will ne'er forgotten be.
My real son can never die;
'Tis but his body that may lie
In foreign land, and | shall keep
Rembrance fond, forever, deep
Within my heart of my true son
Because of triumphs that he won.
1t matters not where anyone
May lie and sleep when work is
done.
1t matters not where some men
live;
If my dear son his life must give,
Hosannas will | sing for him,
Fen though my eyes with tears
be dim.
And when the war is over, when
His gallant comrades come again,
I'll cheer them as they're march
ing by,
Rejoicing that they did not die.
And when his vacant place | see,
My heart will bound with joy
that he
Was mine so long-my fair young
son,
And cheer for him whose work is
done.

Canadian Father to a Son who
Died in Belgium.

God gave my son in trust to me;
Christ died for him, and he should
be
A man for Christ. He is my own,
And Gods, and mans, not mine
alone.
He was not mine to give" He
gave
Himself that he might help to
save
All that a Christian should revere,
All that enlightened men hold
dear.
TO feed the guns!" All, torpid
SOUL
Awake, and see life as a whole.
When freedom, honor, justice,
right
Were threatened by the despot's
might,
With heart ahame and soul alight,
He bravely went for God to fight
Against base savages whose pride
The laws of God and man defed.
Who slew the mother and her
child,
Who maidens pure and sweet
dehled,
He did no go to feed the guns"
He went to save from ruthless
Huns
His home and country, and to be
A guardian for democracy.
What if he does not come?"you
say,
All, well! My sky would be more
gray,
But through the clouds the sun
would shine,
And vital memories be mine.

large Russian loan will find its way into the pockets Of the
men in the trenches We look with pride on the magnif
cent personnel of army but too apt to forget
or overlook the fact that an adequate wage goes long
way toward securing that personnel The difference be-
tween one cent day and dollar day may account for

assertion that American guarantee of fifteen or twenty
dollars month to every Russian soldier who is willing to

A Typical American Mother.

Since so much has been said in
your columns about the war stu
alton, should like to tell you OF
an instance that recently came to
my notice. A mother-a plain
farm woman was telling me
that her oldest son had been
drafted. He is a fine young fel-
low, barely tWenty-one, and her
idol.
He's always done the best he
knew in everything" she said,
''and if he's got to be a soldier ]
want him to go on doing the best
he can. It's breaking my heart
to give him up"
She caught her breath and turn
ed away for a minute, and then
went on:
Il lie awake nights thinking
about it, l wonder if he will
have to suffer from cold while
we're warm at home. | wonder
if he'll ever come back"
She stopped at that and went
back to her sewing, and | thought
she would say no more. But in
a minute she dropped her work
in her lap and looked up.
'I'm glad he passed the physi-
cal examination" she said,
Though if he hadn't he could
stay at home with us. I've tried
to take care of his health, and tc
teach him to do so, from the time
he was little. | meant for him
to be a strong, good man, what.

Of course Inever thought Of this.
But when he goes | shall know
that | have helped him go as g
man should, and to be what 9
man ought to be. It's no more
than | ought to do, or any Other
mother"
Again she was silent; and
could say nothing, though trieC
} to think of some comfort.

 WORK IS PROGRESSING

MT. Mayors, the engineer who has been taking soundings for the pro- posed bridge, completed the work Tuesday, and informed Democrat reporter that he found good rock bed at 20 feet below mean low water, which is some less than expected. There will be five piers, and an abu.- ment at each end. There is little doubt now that the bridge can be built for the amount appropriated, or even less. It will be a few days until the blue prints can be made and bids asked for. MT. Mayer stated it would take nearly two months to as- semble the material for work, and it would take about six months to erect the bridge. In very few months we hope to have big bridge open ing here and have as many of our state and national men present as possible.-Morrilton Democrat.

 Enclosed you will find a few ques- tions which 1 wish to ask through the columns of your paper. If these questions are satisfactorily answer ed, think it will do great deal toward overcoming the opposition which we now have against the road
 Will the attorney, or the engineer, or the commissioner for the Saltillo road district please answer the fol- lowing questions through the columns of the Log Cabin Democrat l. What assurance have 1 that it will not cost me more than nine cents per acre per year for 20 years?
 2. What will be the cost to keep this road up for 20 years and who will pay for it?
 3. If we were to spend the 5 Gin sert cost of upkeep) on our dirt road would it not be the best road in the county, and good enough for poor country?
 4. What will the macadam be, "hSii we hhNC pau loi IL, ludI IS, 20 years from now? 5. Will we have to pay road tax besides district tax? 6. Will we also be subject to road duty?
 AS we now understand the first thing done after having the district formed is to make the assessment. Not approximately, you don't need to use the word approximately" any more, you have us bound. If this assessment is not just, you say we have recourse. Where? In court. Now, we don't want court. AS this assessment has to be made, why not make it as it will appear against our property, and let us see what we will have to pay, when we are asked to sign the petition?

 of Mayo's fast shoots get by, and Walton tallied.
 The Bulldogs had little difficulty scoring. They found "Whitey" Mur-

TANK SHIP SUNK
 WITHOUT WARNING 20 LIVES WERE LOST
Standard Oil Ship Healdton Sunk by German Submarine Of Coast
 of Holland.

Washington, March 23.-Americar Consul Mahin at Amsterdam cabled the state department last night that the American steamer Healdton sunk by a submarine Wednesday off Terschelling, Holland, was torpedoed without warning and that 20 of the crew drowned and one died of in- juries.
 His dispatch follows:
 Standard Oil ship Healdton, from Philadelphia for Rotterdam, cargo oil, torpedoed without warning north or Terschelling, Holland. Twenty of crew drowned. One died of injuries Others (taken) to north Holland Submarine seen after torpedoing More details to follow"
 Thirteen members of the crew have arrived at Ymuiden, Holland, and eight were landed at Terschelling They say the steamer was sunk with out warning in the so-called "safe zone," and expressed the belief that 19 men aboard the vessel were drowned. One of the men died on the way to Terschelling, and another, badly injured, was taken there in a torpedo boat.
 The Healdton sailed from Chester, Pa., on January 26 for Rotterdam with 2,137,711 gallons of refined pe- troleum valued at $106,886. She was last reported three days later 72O miles east of Delaware breakwater. She was commanded by Captian Christopher. She was built at Greeneck, Scotland, in 1908. Her home port was New York. Eight of the officers and engineers of the Standard Oil steamship Heald- ton are American citizens, an officer of the company said tonight.
 The sinking of the Healdton adds another grave chapter to the story of war waged against American ship ping by Germany to be laid before congress by President Wilson at the special session. It can cause no i'm mediate change in the situation. Since the destruction of three Ameri- can ships last Saturday or Sunday, administration officials considered that state of war exists, and it was to meet this situation that congress has ben summoned.
 The Healdton was unarmed, hay ing left port before the president au- thorized the navy to furnish guns and gunners to merchantmen. Her fate serves to create the profound interest with which the government and the public awaits the time when an American vessel prepared and ready to send shell into hostile submarine on sight will enter the war zone.
