EARNS IA CENTS A DAY;
 HAS WIFE AND BABY
AT Yet This True Story Has a
 Happy Ending.

Even a Frenchman sometimes loses, for awhile at least, his "unfailing" sense of humor.
 Take, for instance, the case of a man from Lille a soldier, Waeltele by name and only twenty-three. He had done pretty well, for the youngster had already his own printing shop in that northern French town, which is still in- side the German lines. In the trenches Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and he was sent to a hospital at Grenoble.
 There he was considered incurable, and after the usual three months of treatment he was granted his II cents day pension. Said his fatherly army doctor, My son, you can perhaps cure yourself if you will live in the noun tains, if you will eat plenty of nour- ishing food and, above all, if you don't worry"
 WaeIteIe should have smiled, but he didn't. He was thinking cf his baby and his wife-and his IA cents. Don't worry!" The humor of it entirely es- capped him.
 Then the Red Cross stepped in. He was found by an American woman With some American Red Cross money for just such cases, and within few hours he no longer had need to worry. He was sent to the mountains at La mure, in the French Alps, happy ill the knowledge that his family was be- ips cared for by these amazingly kind Americans.
 And now the army doctors words are coming true. Waeltele's lung is healing fast and he is dreaming of another printing shop and of living again some day with that little family.
 There have been over 100000 new cases of tuberculosis in France since the war started, and to care for these cases and check the White Plague's spread is merely one of the big jobs the American Red Cross has set out to accomplish.

MORE WASHINGTON POLITICS.
President of Farmers Union of Ark ansas Resents An Attempt to Prostitute the Order for Sel-
 fish Political Ends.

To the Farmers and Members of the
 Farmers Union in the State of
 Arkansas-Greeting:
 It becomes my painful duty, as President of the Arkansas State Far mers' Union, to advise you that the President of the National Farmers Union, c. s. Barrett, is sending let ters or permitting them to be sent to the farmers in this state for the sole purpose of soliciting or influencing your vote in the interest of Sem ator Joe T. Robinson for reelection to the United States senate. This is contrary to the fundamental law of our organization. I feel that it would be an injustice to our organi- zation and the membership to let such unfairness be done without my protest I want you to know that this is being done without my sanction or of any of the officials of the organization.
 I have never permitted my name to be used by any candidate, politl- elan, or political party in this state or any other. as an indorsement or otherwise, since I have been your state president I think it very un- fair and unbecoming in MT. Barrett to disturb the peaceful cooperative spirit of our organization in things essential, by meddling in our state politics, and attempting to draw our organization into the political mud dle. Our organization acts only on

 Brough, Little Rock, Ark.
 My Dear Sir:
 This is to inform you that when I arrived at Center Point, Howard Go. Arkansas, few days since, some of by friends informed me that you had made a statement relative to some of my domestic affairs, and in justice to you, and myself, as to whether or not you made certain statements, in a spirit of fairness, make known to you that 1 have received from them such information, and if it be true, I warn you now that shall hold you personally responsible for dabbling into matters that are no public con cern of anyone, and that I do not my self discuss with my most intimate friends and that no man has the right, legally or otherwise, to pub fish.
 You will therefore take notice that I forbid you, or anyone else from making public issues of these domes- tics and private matters.
 Should I learn of this being re- peated I shall publish you as polit- ical coward and my friends will take charge of you at the proper time and you will have to abide, and suffer the consequences.

FATHER AT WAR,
 TRAGEDY AT HOME
lust What Home Service Means
 to a Soldier;

The father kisses his wife and kid dies goodby, shoulders his gun ana marches away to war.
 For time the current of life nows smoothly for the soldiers little fami- ly. Then comes the tragedy. Mother is taken i'll. The little brood of broth CTS and sisters is helpless. No father to turn to. A helpless mother!
 To whom can the American soldiers family look at this critical period? Must a brave mans loyalty to his country mean desolation and suffering to those nearest and dearest to himF
 No! Emphatically no! The Ameri- can people will not permit the faml- lies of their soldiers and sailors to suffer because their breadwinners are fighting for their country. And so the Red Cross Department of Civilian Re lief has created a nationwide organ ization for home service for the fami- lies of soldiers and sailors.
 Under the banner of Home Serv- ice" patriotic men and women have enrolled and are devoting themselves to the noble task of helping soldiers families to meet and adjust the prob lens of everyday life and aiding them to maintain the star 5ards of health, education and industry.
 Home Service-True Service. Home service means keeping the sol diers children well and in school. It means tiding the family over financial troubles, arranging the household budget, meeting insurance premiums, adjusting a mortgage, bringing med ical aid and legal advice to bear at the right moment. In short Home Serv- ice is true service, in that it provides the warm handclaSp of friendship rather than the humiliation of charity. IL calls for sympathetic understanding and intelligent consideration of the most vital needs of the soldiers family.
 The Red Cross is pledged to Home Service" wherever needed in the Unit ed States. In each chapter of the Red Cross there will be a home service section, under competent hands, whose mission will be to protect the welfare of the soldiers and sailors homes and to safeguard the normal development of their families in employment anG iD ideals of self help and self reliance.
