desire ito kill This also is probably nee
essary if they are to stand before the foe
and give the best account of themselves.
But it is precisely this hard side of the
boys nature that needs to be corrected,
not by eliminating the hardness, but by
rearing up alongside of it a totally differ
ent nature-a nature wherein the better
and finer things of life are accounted of
worth This can be and is done without
at all taking from the boys usefulness
and efficiency as a soldier. In fact, the
most important preachment of this or
ganization is a consecrated patriotism.
But while viewing patriotism as sacred
duty, and efficiency as its twin virtue,
the organization would have the soldier
regard the resort to force as necessity
and not desire-as a deadly weapon to
be used as effectively as possible so long
as the need exists, but to be laid aside
when no longer required.
This, together with the fact that the
organization fosters the physical, mental
and moral care of hte soldier, striving to
bring out all those virtues which go to
make the perfect character in man,
whether soldier or civilian, should give it
a warm place in the hearts of the parents
of American soldiers

We go to church-some of us-and
sing it with JUNCTION, with eyes closed and
head tilted back, and then come home and
attempt to follow it-some times
: It's good old way to folloW-some
times.
It's good way when it carries our
feet in the ways of truth and soberness
and God-fearing rectitude of life
It's good way when it leads us to the
homes of want of want and suffering
with healing balm in our hands and
smile on our face
It's good way when it leads OH life

phase Of life

It's good way when it leads our life

our fathers, and fail TO veer to a smoother
and more easily travelled road
It's poor way when it causes us to
adhere to customs and practices out

in imperfect work, when we might be
working by improved methods, undream-

have adopted them had they known of

It's poor way when it causes us to be
satisfied with anything short of the best

And the fathers, were they with us,
would be first to caution us against fol
lowing in that way when better was
pointed out. For they lived and wrought
according to their best light, and much of
our great store of health, happiness and
comfort is due to their fine judgment in
Selling and appropriating the best of life

ORGANIZE HOME GUARDS.

While we have no desire to figure in
the role of alarmist we must insist that
prompt action should be taken looking to
the organization of troops Of home
guards.
Three years ago we laughed to scorn
at the alarmist who tried to point out to
us our state of unpreparedness. "Ameri-
ca needs an army? Ha haw was the SEN
timent of two-thirds of the people. Now
we are comprising heaven and earth to
equip an army that should have been
equipped years ago. We are sending raw
troops to France where we should already
have veterans in the trenches.
Will we make the same mistake as to
guarding our own hearthstones? How
long before we will be without either reg
ular troops or green recruits in the coun-
try? They are going by thousands and
tens of thousands.
The tension between the United
States and Germany is being drawn tight
er and tighter as the days pass. German
spies and German emissaries abound
within our borders. Every day witnesses
some act of vandalism traceable to that
source Brazil has had a German upris-
ing. Can we assure ourselves that we
are proof against the same.
How many times within recent years
have disturbances broken out in this coun-
try of too great magnitude for the state
constabulary to handle? 1t is OF fire.
ouent occurrence. Can we say that we
have seen the last such? Or if not, when
they do occur, to what force will we look
to restore order? The troops will be
across the waters, or at least out from the
states control and otherwise busily en-
gagged.
Every state in the union, every county
in every state, has thousands of able-bodi-
ed men, patriotic as any who have march
ed way, who would be only too glad to be
called upon for home defense. These
men are above the draft age, but would
make none the less efficient soldiers. The
state that has not made provision for or
ganizing this element of its manhood for
home defense, should lose no time in doing
so. No man can tell what a day may
bring forth.

us not repeat the blunder

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS.

erous other activities to be maintained, it
would seem the public has its hands pref
ty full just now However there is one
cause to which no one of us can afford to
be Indifferent In every town and COM
munity throughout the land, from now
till after Christmas, the little Red Cross
Christmas Seals will be on sale. No lover
of humanity can afford to neglect this
noble charity. Not even war itself is the
deadly enemy to the human race that the
great white plague is. It's ravages ex-
tend around the earth, and no human be-
ing is exempt The proceeds of the Red
Cross Seals are devoted entirely to the
rescue of the victims of this scourge Who

plague from your own loved ones? If you

COOPERATE WITH RED CROSS.

In the greatest campaign of its kind
ever undertaken the American Red Cross
is asking for 10000, 900 new members and
expects to enroll them between December
16 and December 25.
The magnitude of this drive is COM
mensurate with the magnitude of the
need in which it was conceived. We all
know the tremendous demands on the
good services of the Red Cross at this
time We all know that this demand is
going to be vastly greater before it grows
less. We all know that there is only one
way in which the unbounded suffering
caused by this war can be alleviated svs-
tematically and on scale proportionate
to its extent
That way is through cooperation with
the Red Cross.
There are more than 100000 per-
sons in the United States who are not
members of the Red Cross largely because
of thoughtlessness. Are you one of them?
In this drive you may become member
for one dollar Can you weigh dollar
against the War-created misery and suf-
fering that exists and hesitate an instant?
The Red Cross service flag, indicating
the number in the household who are Red
Cross members, is already to be seen in
thousands Of homes Before Christmas
these thousands will grow into millions
Do you wish your flagless home or Of
flee or store or factory to be thanked bv
