Man should be permitted to button
his trousers to his weskit, as the
merchant tailors suggest, but what
would he do in summer?
Solid as the turnip roots appear,
they contain on an average about 80
per cent of water, or trifle more
than is found in whole milk. The
flavor of the turnip, like that of it's
relatives, the cabbage and the radish,
is due principally to compounds of
sulphur, which are so volatile that
when turnips are fed to cows these
compounds pass into the milk and
give it an unmistakable flavor.
Instead of munition stock the pub
lie may soon be buying stock in po-
tato mines.
The ocean nowadays seems to be
a body of water entirely surrounded
by trouble.
Every once in a while somebody
you've always had good deal of
respect for turns up with a wrist
watch on.

No nation, no individual, can VIC
late Gods laws, without being pun
ished for the transgression. AL
though we may try to appease our
conscience that the act was justifi-
able, we will find that there is no
escape. History proves that fact.
Not many hundreds of years ago,
Spain was the leading nation of the
world. She trampled upon the rights
of all people. She murdered, man
gled and robbed the Aztecs and
1ncas as the Belgians did the poor
natives of the Congo. No right
was sacred with her. And yet
every thing she did, she did under
the cloak of religion and humanity.
Today Spain is decayed nation and
is barely a shadow of her former
grandeur.
Every war that Rome waged was
under the guise of accomplishing
some high moral purpose. The same
with the Greeks, the Modes, the
Persians, the Bablylonians and ev-
cry other great nation of the past.
They lived by militarism and they
died by militarism. They reaped
what they had sown.
We are young nation-not $50
years old. We have grown to be
the greatest nation on the globe
without standing army, now we
are to go back to the days of mil
itarism, and the moment we do we
seal our doom, and we will go the
way that the great nations have
gone who have preceded us.
The powers at Washington tell us
that they are waging this war in
the interest of humanity. Very well,
then why was it, no action was TAX
en- by them when the Belgians in
vaded the Congo, and when the
Germans invaded and overran Bel
GUM?
Not a real move did the powers
at Washington make, until the prop
erty of the munitions makers and
spectators was threatend upon the
seas by the Germans. They set
property above life.
Do they conscript property? No.
Do they conscript life? Yes.
For centuries it has been the the
DRY of all civized nations that life
is more sacred than property.
But we find Congress conscripting
the lives of the flower of our
young men Of the middle and work
ing classes. The President and
Congress demand that they offer
their lives upon the altar of sacri-
flee, and when they lose their lives,
they lose practically all. After the
smoke has cleared away and the
storm is over, their bodies will be
mangled or their health impaired and
they will spend the rest of their days
in agony. They can have what is
left, after their masters have taken
what they want.

"THE STRENGTH OF ALL FOR THE
GOOD OF EACH"

Help one another" the snowflakes said
AS they huddled down in their fleecy bed;
Zone of us here would not be felt
One of us here would quickly melt;
But I'll help you and you help me,
And then, what big white drift we'll be-"
Help one another" tn maple spray
Said to his fellow lea YES one day;
'"The sun would wither me here alone,
Long enough ere the day is gone;
But I'll help you and you help me,
And then, what spl endid shade therell be-"
Help another" the dew-drop cried,
Seeing another drop close to it's side;
''The warm south breeze would dry me away,
And l should be gone ere noon today;
But I'll help you and you help me-
And we'll make brook and run to the sea-.
Help one another" grain of sand
Said to another grain just at hand
"The wind may carry over the sea,
And then, O what would become of me?
But come my brother give your hand,
Well build mountain and there We'll stand.
And so the snowflakes grew to drifts,
The grains of sands to mountains,
The leaves became pleasant shade,
The dew-drops fed the fountains
