An exchange says I'VE read
some time ago of a substantial
contribution to the movement
for the conservation of human
life through the invention of
device which will positively pre-
vent automobile accidents if
properly observed. The work
ing of the attachment is simple
and is explained as follows:
while the car is running Is miles
an hour a white bulb shows on
the radiator;. at Is miles q green
bulb appears; at IS red bulb,
and when the driver begins to
exceed that speed phonograph
under the seat plays Nearer My
God to Thee"

FOR The BENEFIT OF The RED CROSS

The Hope baseball team went
over to Luverne Sunday after
noon and gave the team there a
trim ming that they will remem.
ber for some time to come. Both
teams were in trim for the game
but the Hope boys so far out
classed their opponents that the
game lacked interest after the
first inning. The score at the
end of the game is too one-sided
to print.
Four good looking young ladies'
passed through the crowd and
accepted donations for the Red
Cross, which totaled about $40.

THE POINT OF VIEW

The following editorial from
the pen of Brother Montieth, O!
the Finley Beacon, is SO peril
nent at this time that we take
pleasure in passing it on to oul
readers. The advice given is not
only good for those drafted, but
if properly applied by those
whose hearts will go with the
drafted ones, will make the dark
clouds show at least a portion of
their lining:
Well, you're drafted.
It's something, at least, that the sus-
pense is over You haven't really
had time yet for the full meaning of
the thing to sink in. perhaps, but you
know it's a pretty serious matter.
The future is vague tumble of pos
sibilities and you haven't the gift of
prophecy. But there is one thing you
can do, even tho the draft "hits you
where you live"
| You can make the best of it
Your way OF looking at it is going
to have lot to do with making the
draft either an intolerable sorrow or
a cheerful sacrifice. If you choose to
resent your selection as an infliction
of unkind chance, sardonic conspir-
acy of the fates, you will enter upon
your duties with spirit which will
double the hardship and triple your
mental misery.
If you accept your assignment as an
order to do work that must be done
for the greatest good of the greatest
number, remembering that it might as
we'll be you as some other mothers
SOD, bearing in mind that you are
only only of more than a half million
in the same boat, you can take up the
job and its responsibilities with cheer
fulness, if not elation.
1t is an old saying, but very true,
that he who worries about coming
troubles experiences them twice-once
in anticipation and once in realiza-
ton. War is serious business, and
nobody of sound mind would minimize
the burden laid upon the conscript.
But sulking and dread will not take
away any of the obligation-and will
only add to the harshness of the COM
ing ordeal.
You're drafted. Sit tight. Look
your little number in the face and
smile. A glad man makes u better
soldier than a sulker-and q cheerful
viewpoint lightens many hard job.
