Romans. When Aeneas descended

branch of n;i-tletoe, which Fc"gil
calls the golden bough.
The custom of kissing under the
mistletoe goes back to the days wncn
Thor and Odin and all .he other gods
of the Northland walked and talked
with men. Baldur, the son of Odin
and Grigga, the Apollo of Scandina-
vian mythology, the faxen-haired god
of sunshine and it's attendant bless
ings, was loved by all earthly and
heavenly being save one-Loki, the
god of earthly fire and it's attendant
evils.
How of all the things animate and
inanimate in the world, except the
surly mistletoe, swore never to harm
the sun god and how Loki slew Bal
dur with branch of it, has been told
with beautiful poetic power by Mat
thew Arnold.
In conciliation, hoping to soothe the
passionate sorrow of the mother,
Frigga, they dedicated the mistletoe
to her. Now sin and sorrow had
followed it; for henceforth it was to
grow, not as a symbol of bitterness
and hatred, but as a sign of tender
ness and love.
But the gods decreed that it was to
stand for these things only so long
as it touched not Loki's kingdom, the
soil; and for this reason it is never
seen growing on the ground and we
ourselves always hang it high on the
rafters or chandeliers. And now that
it was the plant of love, the custom
arose for enemies to become friends
under the mistletoe; for lovers to
pledge their troth beneath it; and for
those who met there to kiss as sign
of affectionate fellowship.

GOOD OUT OF EVIL

The old, old question: "Can good
come of evil" has been very much
to the front in discussions of the ter
rblc world struggle now going on.
The question is frequently asked,
"How can any good come from the
terrible suffering and loss now being
enacted in Europe?"
1t may well be doubted that sufii-
cient general good can result to atone
for all the suffering entailed, save
that the eradication of the Turk and
his cultured" counterpart, the Hun,
had became necessary at whatever
cost.
1t is becoming more and more evil
dent, however, that some great and
permanent good is to result to the
people of the United States.
The physical improvement to our
young men as the result of almost
universal military training is becom-
ing marked already. This training is
supplying one Of the chief needs of
the American citizen, discipline, men
tai, moral and physical.
The organization of our national
resources, for efficient use in con-
certcd action is showing to ourselves
as well as to the world, what we can
do.
The sale Of Liberty Bonds in small
denominations was great incentive
to thrift on the part of the man of
small income.
But now the treasury department
comes forward with plan of saving,
and saving for patriotic purpose,
that will reach even the small child
rem. BY investing 25 -cnts at a
time nearly every chilu in the land
can become the holder of United
States Government Bonds, bearing 4
per cent. interest.
Now let every person who has not
felt able to buy "A small Liberty Bond
20 at once to his nearest post Office
and buy his first War-Savings Stamp
for $i.12 for which the government
Will pay HllI pD.oo III
Encourage the children to save
their nickcls and with each quarter
buy thrift stamp, lG Of which may
be exchanged any time during 1918
for War-Savings Stamp.
"a Country that is worth fighting
for is Country worth saving for"
Teach the children thrift and pa
triOtism at the same time. In years
to come every one Of them will be
happy in the thought of having aided
its government to that extent.
If every child in the land thus be
taught a practical lesson Of thrift and
patriotic self denial the next genera
ton will indeed have cause to say
that some lasting good did come Of
the terrible conflict

SURVIVAL OF THE FLEETEST
Ability OF Hog to outrun Darky Gets
Razorback Blue Ribbon In South
ern Swine Exhibit.

An ex-governor of Georgia, and eT
oflclo an expert on hogs, was invited
TO judge the swine at an Indiana coun-
ty fair. He looked over the pens, and
the choice narrowed down to two hogs,
one a magnificent animal OF the Indi-
ana corn-fed variety, OF tremendous
weight and the other lean and rangy
specimen. whose pedigree must have
embraced n large number OF razor
backs. The governor, after an appro-
pirate judicial interval, pinned the blue
ribbon on the rangy one. A friend
nudged his elbow.
Governor" he said, there's been
some mistake. Look at the weight OF
that other hog"
"Son," returned the governor, down

the hog to outrun a darby counts Just
