that if am accepted it will mean at

Teach Children Thrift.

Thrift is very important element
in character. Those who learn to be
economical in youth have no difficult
ties when they are responsible for the
income necessary to maintain a home
1t is The man or woman that allows
want to dominate and lives beyond
the income that has difficulties when
the income is small. Children should
be taught economy and thrift early Ia
life. They should be given chance
to earn and chance to use their
earnings. This will give them respon-
Blbility and teata them the worth OF
money.

Christ or nthev christ.

Protestants do not use the article
before the word Christ, although from
pathological viewpoint this is quite
incorrect. AS everyone knows, Christ
is an adjective In Greek, meaning an
ointed. Now, an adjective cannot be
employed alone without name or an
article. We can, therefore, but say
Jesus Christ, or the Christ. Christ
alone has no meaning whatever. Also,
IN view OF the fu>l that there have been
several Christs, the term "the Christ"
IS more appropriately applied to Jesus
10 distinguish the Christian Savior
FROM all others.

Letter From Francis MeDermott.
Somewhere in France, July 81, 1918,
Dear Mother
Well it has bean just one year ago
today since wa left Chicago, but it
has been q long year Of experiences.
It's all in getting used to it. When
i first enlisted thought the cots
they gave US were . poor excuse
for bed, but now I can make a bed
most any place. Is
Well mother there are SO many
things / would like to tell you but
can't. When you can't write about
what you want to it's hard to make
yourself write something else.
It's like writing to the girl you
love and lying to make her believe
you don't care if she does go to the
show with the other fellow, "Yon
CAMPFIRE"
You always write me such nice
long letters that / am ashamed to
send you such q short one.
In order to keep you reading for a
few moments l will let you pass your
opinion on your bone-headed sons
political ability. Did you say, 'why
the bone head ?"<Safety first.
Just year ago today We followed
Old Glory away,
We didn't know where she was going
as we marched down Old Broadway.
AS we passed the crowds of people,
while the band played the Nation
al air,
Our hearts were filled with pride, we
could see her everywhere.
Many an eye was filled with tear
drops for the one they loved SO
dear.
That took his plice in the line up,
For somewhere over there.
Justa year ago today we followed
Old Glory away,
We did not know where she was 60
ing, but we were on the way.
After all was abroad the Ordinie, we
started out at sea.
And the greatest moment Of our lives
when we saulted Miss Liberty.
We followed Old Glory thru London,
We saw her saluted by Kings,
We heard every horn in England and
Oh how the bells did ring.
There wasn't an eye filled with tear
droys,
And every face was bright,
For they knew the Kaiser had no
chance Of ever winning the fight.
The last week Of battle shows that
all men shall be free,
And when we return to our home
again,
We can salute Miss Liberty.
Well things still look good for the
allies and the Rhine is getting closer
every day. When the Rhine is reach
ed the Germans will give in. When
they lose they lose confidence
and also it may end IKE it started.
Let's hope so, "What?"
I must close for this time. Will
write whenever l get chance.
Lots Of love to you.

Letter From F. B. Robinson

LeLCeT from r. d. NOOln6On
Syracuse Recruit Camp, Syracuse,
New York, August "a, 1881.
Mrs. Joe Barrett,
President Of Red Cross,
My Dear Mrs. Barrett
For some little time I have been
planning on writing you one and all
for my 'kit." I find that there are
articles in there l must use every
day and I can assure you I'd never
have had the forethought to bring
them with me.
We arrived here Monday morning
at 8 o'clock. Should have gotten
here Sunday, but we thought we'd
have little sport in Chicago as we
were not liable to see that burg
again for long while. So we made
the night of it and enjoyed every
second we stayed.
At first we were short of food,
bedding, etc. Got our uniforms just
week ago today. You see they
expected and were prepared to re-
ceive 5000 men and they got that
nearly doubled. Had over 10000
men here a week ago. However,
they are now shipping them out. We
lost Is Of our men today. They go
east somewhere. Of course no one
knows where they go, not even the
fellows who leave. The sergeant told
us yesterday afternoon that we would
not be here later than this coming
Wednesday. We are surely counting
the days as every one is tired of this
place. Perfectly o. K, but Syracuse
is not any better than Council Bluffs.
Nothing doing around there at all.
Everyone surely treats the boys
fine. Lots are invited out but we are
unlucky. You have to be quartered
near the headquarters to receive bids
because that's where all the people
are.
Has been raining here and its nice
now. Has been warm this past week,
but before it was terrible, cold as
Iowa in October. Mornings were very
cold but it warmed up about o'clock
and was nice the rest Of the day
There is lots of noise in the "Y, =
fellows singing, playing piano, and
the victrola all gonig at once and you
can imagine the racket so if this let
ter is not what it should be please
look over it.
/ Thanking you again for the "kit"
I remain,
Yours respectfully,
Pvt. F. B. Robinson

Why they Are Lonely.

The people who are lonely in this
world are those who are always look.
ing for something to come to them;
they hope for pleasant adventures;
they exact much from their friends
and from their family-and they are
never satisfied. But the happy mep
and women are those who never think
to demand for themselves-who give
and give and give again. and find joy
whenever they find opportunity to give
joy.-Exchange.

Inc Quiet Life.

Often we r.bel ut What looks TO US
like tie narrowuess and emptiness Of
our lives. There is so little variety,
so little of the unexpected and the
dashing. We forget the loneliness of
gray life-the delicacy. the subtle
tints and shades that are only possible
when experiences come sparsely or fill
tered through long periods OF waiting.
Quiet lives are more exquisite than
crowded ones, lust as quiet shadows
are more exquisite than crude sunlight.

CONSERVATION Lore.

Constellation lore reflects the chae.
acter of the people who make it. The
Egyptians peopled the skyNwith sym.
bols of their daily thoughts, and the
Persians, Greeks, and Romans, com
ing after, changed the Egyptian con.
stellations to agree with their lives
md beliefs. in. this manner, during
many centuries, some Of the original
consultations were forgotten, and in a
few cases only name remained as
yociated with certain groups Of stars.
