unfolded years, IL is a foe that robs
it's victim of many years of happiness
and casts a somber shadow aver the
minds and hearts of loving friends
whose lives are twined in tender
memory and fondest hope with the
loved and lost. Our departed brother
was just within the pale of manhood,
strong Of body and Of mind. well
poised and well equipped to meet sue
cessfully the battles of life. He was
surrounded by a happy family IN his
childhood's home with an unusual
prospect for usefulness just dawning
upon his pathway leading up to his
manhood's maturity.
Farewell, young brother; 1t might
have been better IL the call had been
made upon n whose life was nearer
to the goal. but in your lodge we
shall think of you as young and
bright and worthy OF the highest hon.
ors that you could earn. Your lodge

and we were glad to weld you into
the brotherhood that is struggling to
redeem the world from selfishness

through which we must all soon pass

Pride Laid
in the Dust

that hurts the pride is the experience Of
a woman who has been an indefatigable
worker through the three preceding Lib
erty Loan campaigns and who is again
at her desk directing the publicity Of
the woman's committee for the present
drive. In ante-bellum days this woman
had the reputation Of being the best
housekeeper in the town in which she
lives. Her entire house was always in
apple pie order, but it was the library
In which she took the greatest pride.
This was her sanctum, and the servants
we're never allowed to touch it. There
was never a speck of dust on the rows
Of books on it's shelves or spot on its
immaculate white paint. War broke out
and sna offered her services to the
womans committee for the First Lib
erty Loan, and since that time she has
worked INCREASINGLY at the Offices in low
er Broadway. The free time that she
has on Saturdays and Sundays is given
over to canning the fruits and vege-
tables from her garden and orchard, and
the result is. that, although her house is
kept in fairly good condition by the SER
wants, the woman no longer enjoys the

This white bread is a speaking wit

Republic overseas. which knows how to
ally the noblest enthusiasm to the most
reasoned practical sense. 1t calls up ioy

the pattern of ours, with the same ideal
of liberty and independence of which we
are so proud
1t represents life assured for the COM

the supplies that are coming to us. of
those that have already come, and it saws
to us with quiet simplicity that we NAV
rely on the promises we have received.
that we may build legitimate hopes on
the American good will and kindness.
And that all the more because the accom-
good wheat sent to us is not an exchange,
that to get it we have no compensation
to furnish, no humiliations to bear, no
impoverishment to dread. We have
bread because we are a free people and
want to remain free, because the secular
ideal of our Confederation has the right

and because the United States, sharing
that ideal, understands it and wishes TO
maintain it in the world
