liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.
Even in the old country all have life,
but has every one his ibertyf Your
answer is no! And you are right. They
all have not their liberty, as We have,
in this wonderful country Of ours. In
many of the countries across the ocean,
the majority are treated as serfs end
bondsman, therefore, SO many come to
the United States, where they can have
all the liberty and happiness that is
necessary for mankind. AS we arc lv-
ing in the best country in the world, we
ought to try and keep it SO; and to do
this, we must be prepared against dne
least possible attack of our enemy. Now,
how are we going to do this without
the things necessary The things that
we need to win this war are: LIST. men,
soldiers, sailors, carpenters, engineers
and laborers; End. guns, cartridges,
cannons, horses, auto-trucks; 3rd.
clothes, shoes, socks, hats, helmets,
tents, blankets; 4th. Doctors, nurses,
medicine, bandages and ambulances;
9Th. Food to feed the soldiers, doctors
and nurses; 9Th. Ships to bring people
and food across the ocean; 7th. Money
to buy ships, food, clothes, guns, and
medicine. How are we going to obtain
all these things, if we do not save and
make sacrifices? To win this war the
nation will need the help Of all. The
men will help by becoming soldiers,
sailors, doctors; the women will help by
becoming nurses and doing men 8 work,
so that every man may fight. But how
will the children help? That is the
main point. Without the children 8 CO.
operation we cannot win this war. We
must do three things for our Country:
We must love it, serve it, and make sac
rifices for it. We all love our country,
We all serve our country, but do we all
make sacrifices for our country9 No!
Children are the exception. But we will
save and help to win this war. Think
Of all the sacrifices the children of 9TH
er countries are making. A child in
the United States eats on an average Of
IA Of an ounce of candy day, and GA
children eat q pound of sugar a day;
there are $4,000 school children in
Louisiana, and if we would not eat that
candy, which We can very well do with
out, it would mean $40 pounds, or Is
barrels Of sugar day saved for our SOL
diers in France. The average amount Of
sugar consumed by an individual in
France is about two pounds q month, Or
about teaspoonful day. We would
find that indeed very hard, for here in
the United States, an individual eats on
an average Of seven pounds q month
we can do, and must do with less. As
we would be more saving with our pads,
pencils, etc. Supposing we made 10
cents pad last two months instead Of
one month, it represents saving of so
cents a session per child, and therefore
means for the State of Louisiana alone
sl'o,ooo.oo saved in year. And if we
would be more careful of our shoes and
make them last longer, think of the
number OF pairs of shoes that it would
mean for the people living in the war
zone. There are indeed lots of WAYS in
which children can help.
IN the beginning Of the war the Gov
eminent called on the rich to help and

-FOUR STUDENT
NURSES ENROLL
Local Young Women Respond to
Call of Nation for Members
in Reserve Corps.

The student nurses reserve corps
has been very successful in secur-
ing recruits to date. Although the
number enrolled here has not been
large, good showing has been
made in comparison to the enroll
ment in other cities. Three wom-
en- have been enrolled, three have
applications which have not been
returned, and three more are Sc
riously considering the proposition.
This is but the first week of the
campaign and registrars are quite
encouraged with results The city
of Chicago has an average of nine
registrations a day. Local head
quarters are located in DR.. E. NJ.
Sala's Office, Nineteenth street and
Fourth avenue.
Mrs. H. A Weld, the chairman
of the local wOmans committee of
the council of national defense, has
not been informed what Rock Is
lands quote in the student nurses
reserve is, but expects to hear
soon; $4,000 is the quote for the
whole United States and 5000 is
the number Illinois is expected to
furnish.
All women who wish to do this
service for their country can pro-
cure necessary Information at head
quarters. No former nursing train

the country are badly in need of
nurses, thus the preparedness plan

FEDERAL AGENT
EXPLAINS LAWS

Correspond With Those OF ILL.,
nOis, He Says.

B. G. Merrill, United States game
warden of Hinsdale, Ill, explains
in the following letter to A. ID.
Sperry of this city the time allow
ed to kill certain kinds of game:
"Inasmuch as an item has been
appearing in the press of Illinois
informing the public that the open
season on mourning doves com
mences Aug. Is. and on waterfowl
Sept. l, l desire to call your at
tention to the fact that these dates
are prescribed by the state laws
and do not conform with the dates
under the federal regulations.
Rule A of the regulations under
the migratory bird treaty act, which
became effective Aug. l, prescribe
the following open season for Hi
nois on certain bigratory game
birds:
Waterfowl Except wood duck,
elder ducks, sLld swans) coot, Will
son snipe or jacksnipe, black-bel-
lied and golden plovers, and great
err and lesser yellowlegs, from Sept.
10 to Dec. 81, inclusive.
Mourning dove, from Sept. to
Dec. Is, inclusive
Section of the migratory bird
treaty act is as follows:
THAT nothing in this act shall
be construed to prevent the several
states and territories from making
or enforcing laws or regulations
not inconsistent with the provis-
ions of the said convention or of
this act, or from making or en-
forcing laws or regulations which
shall give further protection to mi
gratory birds, their nests and eggs,
if such laws or regulations do not
extend the open season for such
birds beyond the dates approved by
the president in accordance with
section of this act"

Romans GILL.

What shall we say then? Shall
We continue in sin, that grace may
abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that
are dead to sin, live any longer
therein?
Know We not, that so many of US
as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were. baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with Him
by baptism into death; that like as
Christ was raised up from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even SO
v e also should walk in newness of
life.
For if we have been planted to-
gether in the likeness of his death,
We shall be also in the likeness of
his resurrection;
Knowing this, that our old man
is crucified with him, that the body
OF sin might be destroyed, that
henceforth we should not serve sin
For he that is dead is freed from
sin.
Now if We be dead with Christ,
We believe that we shall also live
with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised
from the dead dieth no more, death
hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto
sin once; but in that he liveth, he
liyeth unto God.
Likewise reckon We also your
selves 10 be dead indeed unto sin,
hut alive unto God through Jesus
Christ our Lord.

ed. l have been looking for local
farm implements, plows and other
machinery, but have not seen any
so far. In fact. it looks like no la
Dor saving devices were ever
thought of,
The railroad engines and cars
are the queerest looking things on
wheels. The roadbed is fine. but
the cars are like cracker boxes be-
side ours. The passenger coaches
have a running board full length
of the car and side doors, one 10
each compartment, which seats
eight persons The engines have
no bells or pilots and the cabs are
small and have no seats. You have
to stand all the time so you won't
go to sleep. They sure are built
well, the finest workmanship I ever,
saw. Nothing is left rough, all is
draw-filed and polished. The coal
is dust pressed into bricks and
loaded on trucks like bricks on
wagon. Coal is worth SIS a ton, and
believe me, none is wasted You
don't see any black smoke coming
out through the stacks, all carbon
being burned. l am anxious to see
a large railway shop and watch the
French mechanics work.

to call upon more of the graduate
nurses from time to time for gov
eminent work either here or over
