JUST SIT STEADY.

In many parts ?Of the world many
men, who ardently desire to see the
overthrow of the German military
autocracy, must often despair of that
hoped-for consummation. They must
often say to themselves that German
efficiency and German organization
have made German defeat impossible.
They must often sit down and fig
ure how Germany for three years has
resisted the attacks of England,
France Italy and Russia four of the
greatest nations in the world. They
learn of ammunition and supplies
still going forward in steady stream
to German armies which are still be-
ing replenished by fresh drafts from
youths who are becoming men. They
read of the slaughter attendant up
on every mile gained from the leu
ton armies. FAnd they wonder wheth-
q It 4ssimpossible4o defeatS the most
brutal force that has evelMAet loose
upon susanguished world.
1t SO; happens that littles over 100
years ago men all over the world
were in like case. Napoleon, like
the kaiser, represented to them the
acme of all that was evil and at that
Napoleon never made war upon help
less women and children, never de-
ported civilians into slavery, never
assassinated the Cavelles and the Fry
ats of his time. But Napoleon did
stand for organization. for efficiency,
for military service, for Tremendous
employment of artillery, |M sudden
and terrifying rI marches riches q h 4. devoted
legions NJ s .jss lS9
For years and years he kept Europe
in turmoil. For years men were
poured into the caldron of war never
to appear again. For years endless
blood and treasure were spent in the
endeavor to topple the emperor from
his seat of power Nations entered
the lists against him and then, losing
their stomach for the fight, withdrew
Only England remained steadfast.
And in the end through stubborn
courage and the faith of England, Ma
pOleon was defeated and sent an ex-
lie to the island of St. Helena. Eng
land often with her allies, often alone,
matched man for man and dollar for
dollar with Napoleon 1t was a war
of attrition In which the holder of
the biggest pile of dollars and the
biggest supply of men was bound to
win.
So In this war. when we despair,
when we wonder if there is ever to
be any end to it. let us resolve to
hold fast and to sit steady The al
lied dsmocracies of the world hold
the better and ultimately the winning
hands. Since Americas accession to
the cause-men, money, food and sup
plies far outmatch those of the Teu-
ton alliance. And victory for liberty
is bound to result

EMMANUEL CHURCH
REVIVAL SERVICES

IF 1 believe in Jesus and try TO
live a Christian life why do / need
TO confess my faith - is a question
which seems to bother some people.
said Mr.. Kenny i'm his sermon last
night on standing for Jesus" But
the burden of proof is really the
other way. II / know that Jesus
died for me, and il ] have received
peace and joy and strength and a
hope Of endless life through believ-
ing in Him. why should I keep still
about it? II a man will be honest
with himself and Will seek for the
answer he will find IL in some very
selfish motive. Either he is afraid he
can't hold out, which is really un-
belief; or he does not want 10 face
the possible ridicule of his COM
RAIDS. which is cowardice; or he
seeks to dodge responsibility of ser
vice which is rank -elfishness. BY
every rule OF fair and mal.ly and
Christian conduct a believer is re-
Quired TO stand up for Jesus. The
greatest wonder is that in the glory
OF the throne room OF God Jesus
will not be ashamed Of one OF His
disciples.
Tonight. Mr.. Kenny will preach on
Testing and Triumph"

BLAZE AT SCHOOL
BEING INVESTIGATED

blazing board saturated with
kerosene was discovered this morn
ing under the main stairway OF Bat
tell school by a boy pupil OF the
school. who turned the alarm into
the fire department from a nearby
box. The origin OF the fire Is not
known. but Chief Buysee Is making
an investigation. Had the fire not
been discovered before the morning
school session was convened a
serious disaster might have occurred
Ii is thought hardly possible that
the work was that of a miscreant
who desired 10 destroy the school
from malice. especially while school
was in session. 1t is believed that
il was set aire by one of the students
as a prank, and who is not old
enough To realize the seriousness of
his act

STREETS, NOT WALKS,
NEED CLEANING
= X X X x 4 x X + 4 \ X

When the cleanup campaign was
first started by high school students,
a citizen remarked that perhaps the
be made would be TO reprOve stu
dents who tramp across lawns and
carelessly scatter scrap paper along
the walks and lawns. The Civic class
agitated a clean walk campaign and
this rejOinder from a citizen has put
a crimp in their apparently good in
tentions.
Yesterday. one of the members of
the class. Charles Engers, telephoned
The News-Times that il wasn't the
sidewalks that the class wanted
cleaned but the unsightly condition
of the downtown streets.

REMARKABLE RISE IN
FOOD PRICES SHOWN
Grocer Makes Comparative
Table, Showing Rise in
Commodities.

Il have been behind a grocery
counter for the past II years. and
never before have the prices in food
stuffs been so high" said Tony Gan
ser Of the firm OF Ganser a Robson
grocery company, yesterday.
Continuing he said: Canned goods
are higher. The empty cans cost the
producer four cents more apiece and
the average canned food costs the
consumer five cents more apiece than
last year. look for the price in this
line 10 rise continually and by next
fall il will be one of the costliest
commodities.
Mr.. Ganser said that the only
foOdstuffs that had not been al
vanced in cost was rice, which sells
at eight and ten cents a pound.
breakfast foods, which retain the
same price, 10 cents box or three
for a quarter, as they did a year ago,
coffee and fruit. Sugar has decreas-
ed one cent in the last year, now
retailing at nine cents.
Onions Highest.
The lOwly onion, which a year ago
sold at three cents a pound. now
sells at five times that price or 10
cents. This vegetable comparatively.
is the highest priced commodity on
the market. For example, If a grocer
had purchased 100 sacks Of onions
last fall he could have bought them
for 500. Today he could have sold
the 100 sacks for $1,000. or a profit
of S1,400 in nine months. Cabbage
has jumped from three cents a pound
TO II cents, in the last year.
One reason for the exorbitant
price Of onions and cabbage is said
to be due 10 the frost in the south
and the poor crop raised in this
vicinity last year.
\ Comparative Chart.
Following is a list of foodstuffs
that have increased in price during
the last year:
