you come down to hard facts there is
nothing like good old iron to put color

"The Whistling Mother" is
the name of a little 50-cent book
by Grace S. Richmond that ev-
cry mother who has a son go
ing to war, and the sons, and
other folks, too, might be in
spired by it if they would read
it. This son is in college when
he enlists. He writes and tells
his mother, and, although she
loved him well, and suffered be-
cause he was going, she would
not show it but wrote him:
cts all right, son, and we're
proud as Punch of you, that
YOU want to be not only in Amer
tica's First Hundred Thousand,
but in her First Ten Thousand.
We know it will stiffen your
spine considerably to hear that
your family are behind you.
We'll, we are-just ranks and
rows of us, with our heads up
and the colors waving. So go
ahead-but come home first, if
you can"

OUR TASK.

The one great task for YOU
and NE is to learn how to get
together-to love one another
to be Brothers and Comrades,
and in splendid cooperation to
give our hands and our hearts
to the building Of a beautiful
Family Circle in which every
member shall have his part, and
from which we shall draw our
sustaining inspiration. We need
each other. The thing that made
modern life so poor has not been
its complexity, but its loneli-
ness. The hunger for comrade-
ship has been the tragedy Of
the world. The isolation of one
man and another, the division
into classes, the separation OF
activities, the lack Of common
purpose among men, the failure
to get together this is what
has brought us to the verge OF
spiritual and moral bankruptcy
We need to get back to the sim
plicities Of life-to the plain hui
man duties Of affectionate co
operation to learn that hands
were made not to smite but to
heal that we are all playing
the same game and going the
same little journey between the
cradle and the dreamless dust,
and that he is Wisest who loves
the most; trusts the most, gives
| the most, and makes life great
adventure in brotherhood and
helpfulness. The individual life,

his enlistment and all about it,
and she says: ITS all perfectly
great, / don't wonder you want
to go. Why, if you didn't want
to go, Jack, should feel that ]
had been the wrong sort of a
mother.
And there was no scene when
he got home, everybody all
smiles, and when bedtime came:
Mother kissed me good night,
when we broke up, in just ex-
actly the old way no extras.
Oh, maybe / did put a little more

in bed, she came in, in some
kind of a loose, rosy sort of silk
thing, and stopped down and
kissed me, and patted my Shout
der, and went out again with
out saying a word May
be / didn't turn over then for a
minute, and bury my head IN
my pillow and have it out a bit.
But that didn't count, because
nobody saw.
Then the time came to leave
home for the train and Jack
went up to his room to pack, and
he was afraid he would break
down, but mother came in and
