THE CCUNTRr'S HONOR.

The large number of subscribers,
more than four million, and the large
amount subscribed. over three billion
dollars, to the Liberty Loan was a
splendid demonstration of the worth of
a good name. For generations the
United States Government bond has
been a synonym for absolute security,
because the honor of our country is be-
hind it. LAS good as a Government
bond" was as common term as "As
good as gold, in speaking of securities
or investments.
The United States has reaped the re-
ward from its own people for never
having defaulted on an obligation.
''Our sacred honor" is no idle phrase in
the United States. The tradition of
our national honor began in Washing
ton s day when in his first Inaugural
address he said The foundations of
our national defense will be laid in the
pure and immutable principles of NOR
atty - and it has been preserved
through all our history.
The honor of the United States is
back of the Liberty Loan Bonds and all
America and all the world know that
they are absolutely safe.

SUPPORT BY REPUBLICANS.

Another instance of the stand by the
Government attitude of Republican
Congressman. and the Democratic OPP
position, was shown in the short de-
bate preceding the passage of the bill
appropriating 500, 000,O 900 for aviation
purposes. The distinguished chairman
of the appropriations committee, a
Democrat, secured half hours time
and proceeded to argue that the mea-
sure was unconstitutional. He even
criticised the committee for adding
$3.50, 600, or about one-tenth of one per
cent to the Department estimate; ad-
yocated full discussion of the bill by the
House, and in other ways endeavored to
embarass the speedy passage of the
measure. Another prominent Demo
crat proposed an amendment to cut the
appropriation in half, which received
the opposition of all the Republicans
present, and was speedily defeated
Due largely to the able leadership of
the neutrality-suspicious. of the Military
Committee, Mr.. Kahn of California. the
debate in opposition was kept under
control, and the bill passed without
much delay.

A TIME TO RALLY.

The heated season is upon US, and the
temptation is great for people to be-
come lax in their Sabbath duties. 1t is
so easy to yield to the inclination to
stay at home, or take ride. especially
in the cool of the evening. AS the
result the evening service at least, is
neglected. 1t is unfortunate, to say
the least, that this is so. But there is
no use trying to excuse them.
Why are people so negligent in re-
gard to their spiritual interests than
they are about their temporal.
Besides it must be discouragIng to
the ministers to prepare for these
services and.then have but a handful
present.
1t shows lack of appreciation or
interest and indicates a state of indif-
ference that is appalling. If it is the
duty of ministers to prepare and preach
these sermons it is equally the duty of
the members to be present and help
make the services success. We lay.
men owe more to the church, than to pay
our mite to criticize the preacher. We
may we'll ask too, where are the
children? Why are they not at the
preaching services? Ask the parents !!
Do they do their duty by the children
when they send them to Sabbath

OPPORTUNITY.

The air is full of it. Every day
brings to US one or more opportunities
to do something good or to make some
thing of ourselves. The reason so
many young people are not making
good in life is because they do not
seize the opportunities that come to
them. Time and tide wait for no man, 1"
but to every one comes the opportunity
in life to better his condition, or to fit
himself the.better for life's stern work.

came pouring down from the tops, with
cries never to be forgotten. Twice
Farragut was lashed to the rigging by
his men lest he should fall overheard if
struck by ball. Several hundred men
persisted, and the great Admiral wept
like child as he looked upon the brave
boys thus nobly dying in those terrible
moments.
Never before had he witnessed such
a scene of carnage since Captain David
Porter began to train him at the age OF
nine, vet he had been familiar with
bloodshed on the Essex in 1Sl2-13

Notwithstanding his early training,
and his thorough knowledge of his bust
ness, he was not impatient for promo
tion before the proper time.
II have no volition in the matter:
your duty is to give me orders, mine
to obey" he wrote to the Secretary of
the Navy in 1856. replying to sugges-
ton that he might be sent to any station
he preferred.
Farragut waited long for his oppor-
tunity. 1t came on that summer day
in Mobile Bay, in 1864. The great Com
mander was equal to the occasion, and
was lauded to the skies by all the world.
My young friend, you may have to
wait long for your opportunity, but if
you are prepared for it when it comes
you will make good, otherwise you will
lose, and the world will drop you.

They owe it to themselves and their
families, to be regular attendants on the
church services and to see to it that the
children are with the children are with
them. To leave the habit of church going
in childhood, is worth much and the
parents who instill this principle and
duty into their children from youth are
to be congratulated.
They have given their children what
is of more value to them than money.

ADMINISTRATIVE BOARDS.
GChicago News. I


Federal government, as a rule, is bet
ter administered than are state or local
governments in the United States. in
large measure because the federal de-
partments are so organized that there
is no divided authority. The head of
each department directs its operations
effectively. State and cities are be-
ginning to realize the folly of maintain
ing, boards foriadministrative purposes.
The tendency is to substitute for boards
with their diffused authority depart
ments having single executive heads.
The national Senate runs counter to the
best opinion on governmental methods
in undertaking to provide a board of
three members to have charge of food
control in the United States for the
period of the war. In so far as uues-
tons of broad governmental policy NAV
be involved, Congress and the President
should decide them. What is wanted
from the Bureau of Food Control is ac-
ton to conserve the foodstuffs of the
nation, and effective action can be OBJ.
tanned in the best manner by placing
the responsibility in single individual.
Boards waste time and create friction.
This has been demonstrated anew in
the Shipping Boards disagreements
with General Goethals, which led to
the latter's resignation and the recon-
s,ruction of the board.

load Lots.

The following from the Nationa,
Council OF Defense is sent Won for vour
information, with the request that YOU
cooperate as far as possible in an eff
fort to obtain the result desired.
The American Railway Association
has found that in the transportation of
fertilizer, only about At per cent. of the
car capacity is now being used. This
Is on account of the low minimum ton
mage for car load shipments. Figures
for March show that in the movement
OF fertilizer, on one railroad. space 70
the amount of 1882 cars was lost bv
small loadings.
The Cooperative Committee on Rail
road transportation which handles tho
freight equipment of the United States
under the direction of the Council of
National defense, states that it is
grave question whether the traffic of
the United States can be moved bv the.
railroads unless every freight car is
loaded to its full cubical capacity. or TO
ITO per cent. of its marked capacity.
The inference to be drawn from such
statement is clear. The freight car
equipment of the country must he So
assigned that shippers move their COM
modities only by loading cars to their
full carrying capacity.
On this account, the farmers must
place their fertilizer orders without de-
lay through the usual channels, so that
they may be combined into maximum
instead OF minimum car load shipments.
otherwise, it may be impossible for
them to secure enough fertilizer 70
satisfy even their bare necessities.
When orders are placed early, the rail-
roads will see to it that full car load
shipments are made up.
BY acting at once the farmers of
the country can do much to re-
ileve the present car shortage.
They can lessen by one-hslf the num-
Der of cars needed for the movement of
fertilizer. They can perform patriotic
service and at the same time insure
their supply insofar as the resources
OF the country make it possible.
We recommend that you assist ia
this reform by communicating with the
farmers and by generally giving this
matter the widest publicity, so that
this waste Of car space may be avoided
and the farmers secure their fertilizer

DO AMERICANS WANT PEACE?

Do Americans want peace? Tbey
positively want peace at the earliest
practicable moment. They do not want
any tpye of peace that has as vet been
put forth by the Teutons with their
consciousness of victory" Americans
have way of baking at consciousness
of victory save when they are the
victors. And as they never fight a war
for aggression. they are conscious of
victory in the defense of right. The
Americans are fighting neither for in
demnity nor for territory. But they
are fighting for right.
And they do not care whether this
shall take the form of monetary, ter
ritorial or other satisfaction. Where
wrong has been done they demand that
right shall prevail and shall be satisfied.
Right tor those who have been wrong
ed, such as Belgium and France.
But even beyond all this, the Amer
leans demand that peace shall bring
satisfaction for the American insistence
that the world shall be made safe for
democracy. And the plain A B Cot
this is that autocracy must come to an
end, that small nations shall be given
and secured in their rights, and that
the conditions for permanent peace of
the world shall be satisfied through the
elimination of its two great menaces-
a military autocracy and secret diplo-
macy.

not rashly testify tear up the vines in

crop and that they are ready only for
displacement to give way to something

vines and perceive that on account of
the repeated rainfall the vines are put

buds. Actually second crop of beans
will be gathered from the vines if let
