Help Win the War
Ix-The Man in the Pulpit.

- As A4AS = u
The minister has his special war
time task. For one thing. the clergy
man must base his preachment on the
facts and hypothesis that political,
economic, n social science has
brought to light. He must endorse
things with true value.
The minister must instruct his con-
gregation how to eliminate waste in
food and clothing. He must ten his
mock that $500, 900. 900 worth of food
ls wasted annually. in this country.
He must urge his people t O study food
values and teach the tradesmen Of
this country to sell food according to
nutritive value. Theysmust be taught
to adopt simple. ~serviceable clothing,
let the children help in the home, and
release servants for other activities.
In the case Of the rural preacher,
his task is to instil into the mind of
the farmers a sense Of their RESPONSE
bility and Importance. He must en-
tools, and marketing and instruct
them how to get In touch with their
state agricultural department for ad-
vice. City preachers should teach
the doctrine of back-to-the-farm.
Those who occupy pulpits sustained
by wealthy congregations should take
up arms against excessive speculation
and the crime Of c%ornering. They
should urge middlemen to take
minimum profits Above all. they
should insist that the boarding Of food
products be classed as the eighth
deadly sin.
Many other topics Of pres
emit importance far more vital than

CONGRESSIONAL
ABSENTEES
tFrom' the New Republic:)

(From the New Republic.)
Congress does not seem SUFFICIENT
~ interested in the war to keep a ma
jority Of members present while the
most far-reaching measures are being
considered. When Mr.. Lever brought
up the critical question Of f%oodisupply
it was necessary to wait for some time
the same day, when Mr.. Hardwick
moved an amendment to the drastic
proposals OF mail censorship, there
were only a handful Of members
present in the senate. So customary.
IN fact. has a general absence come to
be, that in calling for a quorum Mr..
Hardwtck remarked apologetically
that he was sorry to have called SEN
ators. who were busy from their vari-
y tasks outside the senate" At n
ume' IN the consideration of the same
President, when the absence Of a
quorum was suggested there were
three members Of the majority in the
senate chamber" A decision, in the
house, on the bill providing for the
seizure Of informed German ships was
delayed for a day because there was
not enough Of an attendance to Sc
cure a vote. When the revenue bill
anne up on the second morning so
doors had to be closed, and a call sent
out for a quorum. The votes on vari-
JUS amendments to the Federal re-
serve bill, though that measure had
a direct bearing on the war, showed
an exceptionally small attendance.
one amendment, for instance, was de-
feated by a vote Of "a to 10, with 38s
members absent; and even on the,
fnal passage Of the bill there were
only 70 members voting.

PLAYGROUND WORK

A committee Of the Civic League is arranging to take
up in a modest way, the work of supervised play for
small children in the business section of Grand Forks.
This subject has been before the people Of Grand Forks
for discussion off and on for several years, and in an
informal way considerable attention has been given to
it. In spite Of this attention there is no very clear
are in this direction.
1t is obvious that children ought to have both time
and room for play, and that play should be conducted
under suitable conditions. The value of play in the
building Of character and in the proper development 4f
the body is so manifest that it seems to be a waste of
time to argue in favor Of it. It is useless to argue for
that which nobody disputes.
But there has certainly been no capitalization Of
sentiment as to the precise methods by which this adj
from the Fairgrounds of the great cities contain little
to guide us. We have no conditions approximating those
in cities whose population per. square rod exceeds ours
per square mile. A Chicago playground draws its thou
sands Of children from within a radius Of half a dozen
blocks. How many Fairgrounds Grand Forks would
need to reach all the children. how many children would
use these grounds. and whether or not the expense of
maintaining a system which would reach all the children
Of the city are questions on which we have no data. Our
playground problem, such as it is. in so far as it relates
to the vast majority Of our children, is certainly not acute
in the sense that it is acute in a greater metropolis.
The Civic League committee appreciates this situa-
ton, and is convinced that the present is no time to I'M
dertake anything elaborate in the way Of Fairgrounds.
The plan which is now in mind is to undertake an ex-
~perimental work in a small way, a work which, it is be-
lieved, will meet a real and pressing need, and one which
can be carried on with an outlay so small as to be neg
ligible.
The plan is to utilize certain vacant property near
the center of the city for playground work during the
summer months for the accommodation Of those small
children who live in the downtown district. who are dis
tant from the parks, and in whose vicinity there do not
exist the facilities for play that are common in the res
idence districts. The use o. the ground for this purpose
has been offered to the committee free Of charge. and
individuals have offered. to donate several pieces Of the
simple equipment which will be required. The cost Of
the necessary supervision will be very slight, and the
members Of the committee feel that in undertaking this
work At this time something useful may be accomplish
ed, and that through the operation Of this experimental
playground some light may be shed on the larger prob,
lem rs 1t is related to the city Is q whole.

LINE FENCES

(By E.. E.. Hartman OF the Vigtlantes)
Three farmeps lived side by side,

Henry lived in the center, Jacob at
the 8 and Ole at the west. They
had the usual agreement about line
fences. each nan to build and keep
in repair one-half the line between

good cedar posts and strong rails.

on, without renewal, for a number of
years. Jacob hauled old, half rotted
rails from his north line. in the
shadow Of the forest, using new whore
the old had been and the old next
to John Henry. Ole went on with
his work Of getting moro acres under
the pillow and built no part Of his
across from his back pasture. to eat
John Henry's corn. Jacobs hogs
broke rotten rails and came in from
the other side to root up his potatoes
and ruta bagas ana eat his garden
truck.
Then John Henry waved wroth and
appealed to the law to compel his
careless, lazy, 1~ndlf10rent TO
do their share Of fence work. you
are an expert, you know how, having
built such good fences on your own
share. Now build ours and let us go
