It Wss for us that He suffered and all this we tram pei underfoot. Parents who have chil- dren know their feelings when their children disobey. What must be the feeling of God when His children dis obey? The faithful should show their gratitude to God. Fight the good fight and stand for righteousness regardless. You may be tempted but if you are faithful you will defeat the devil and his devices. If tempted to commit a mortal sin. resist with all the power that God has given you, for if you don't your reward will be destruction.

MAY ALLOT $25 PER 2 MONTH TO DEPENDANT
Registrants Claiming Exemption May Give Living to Depend ants by Sending Greater Por- tiOn of Salary.

Little Rock, Aug. 9.-An important order was received yesterday by Adjt. Gen. England, relative to the exemp- tions that are being claimed on ac- count of marriage. It makes the fol- lowing ruling:
 "A soldiers pay is not less than $30 a month, and all clothing, subsist- ance, medical treatment and housing are furnished him. Under the law he may allot any portion of his pay to a dependant. Many soldiers receiving $30 a month are easily able to allot S25 monthly to the support of the de- pendants. In case of death on line of duty the government will pay to the beneficiary designated by the soldier six months pay. Those in a status with respect to persons dependant upon them for support which renders their exclusion or discharge advisable may be discharged, but it does not re- Quire that they shall be discharged ir all cases. The discretion of local boards is invoked by this provision and such boards may well take the facts recited into consideration in de ciding claims for discharge due to de pendency with a view to determining whether. as a matter of fact, the per son claiming such discharge will not be in as good or better position tc support his dependents after selection for military service than he was be- fore. If such is the case, of course should not be granted"

There are two new dailies here, the Daily Times, started last week in Argenta, and the Daily News, which is to be started in Little Rock in a few days.

THE LESSON

There was a striking lesson taught
the world by the Memorial Day pa
rades the nation over, says the James
vile Gazette. This one day, peculiar
to the United States alone, a day upon
which the soldier dead of the nation
are honored and their memory re-
vered, was transformed this year into
O double commemoration. First, for
the departed dead, and second, for the
living who go to do battle for the ma
TONS honor and integrity many per-
haps never to return. All classes of
citizens joined in the demonstrations,
from school children to aged veterans,
many too weak to march the long dis
lance prescribed. 1t was significant
of the people of this nation, a lesson
to the world at large. America has
Weakened to the grave responsibility
that confronts it and responds.

THE PASSING OF PARTISAN
SHIP

One of the great surprises of the
war has been the great diminution in
the use of the terms Democrat and
Republican, and for the duration Of
the war they should be used sparingly
and on state occasions only. One of
the cheering features of the war is
that we went into three years from
presidential campaign. In all prob
ability, the war will be concluded be.
fore the end of the present admins
tration. Until the national conven-
ton three years from next month, or
at least until the end Of the war, both
political parties should bury the
Ratchet. A Ratchet can be buried so
that the handle sticks out and is Of
easy access. So until peace is de-
clared let's have the meat axes around
handy, just in case of emergency, but
let's don't use 'em!-Emporia Gazette.
