REV. HElNcKE'S SERMON.

Union meetings are the rule at "av-
crly where Methodists, Congregational
lists and Baptists meet TO worship to-
gether and save coal and the preachers
take turns on sermons.
Rev. Heincke had his turn last Sun
day. He started out by assuring his
CONGREGATION that he knew them all,
family for family. and that while he
didn't propose to call names, at least
outside his own congregation, that
he knew OF food slackers right there
in hearing. He wanted 10 be plainly
understood and so desired 10 state
that those who denied or evaded the
food conservation movement were not
patriots And then he went on to
other matters connected with the serv-
ices
Perhaps the travelling man who told
the story brought a personal message
away from that church. At any rate
a patriotic man would be likely to lis
ten to a patriotic preacher with a Ger
man name who prefaced his sermon
with a patriotic adrnonition in plain
United States However, that was the
part Of that sermon he IS repeating
over the state and that h4s tribe is
meeting with emphatic approval.

GIVE THEM TIME.

A lad or two-work!ng fellows
complain that they haven't time to
help the canvass for thrift bonds. They
go to work early and work late and
there is justice in the excuses they
give.
In one ward Of the city the canvass
Will be carried on by the men within
draft age, the contingent Of the Ten
Million who have not been called for
one or another reason. 1t IS fine pro-
position and one that was met half
way BY the men when appealed TO.
Now mono OF these men should be
prevented from sharing in this essen
tally patriotic action by the rejected
or waiting mon Of the Ten Million.
It should be q pleasing and patriotic
thing for employers OF those whose
daylight and evenings are fully oc-
cupied with their duties TO freely offer
those men a couple Of hours day un-
til the canvass IS completed this time
and for the remaining canvasses which
are TO occur Ct three month intervals.
Doubtless the employers will be glad
to 90 It. They should think Of 1t and
offer it. II not the enploye should re-
quest it.
THIS thrift campaign IS one OF the
most important OF revenue raising
movements. It affords every person a
chance TO DO something toward fnanc-
ing this war.

Topics of the Times

Few persons used to have a penny
In pocket, but do you notice that the
little copper coin is now in every
pocket?
Now that Teddy Is safe perhaps a
reference to the reversed conditions
may be allowable. While it hasn't
been uncommon for Teddy to get on
his ear. this is the first time the ear
got on Teddy.
If any person is proved to have put
broken glass in foodstuffs, to make
him eat it would be popular penalty.
Saving money looks harder than 1t
is. The average man multiplies his
hardships by looking at them thru a
telescope. And the satisfaction Of hav-
ing saved and being ahead few dol
lars is one OF the finest a poor man
ever feels. There's safety in it.
II your flag is worn to tatters put
up new one. And treat the now one
deCently and periodically by taking it
down at shutdown. That flag leads our
splendid citizen soldiers to battle and
wraps the bodies OF those Who fall.
1t demands respect wherever it flies.
Respect il then.
Russia's peace is not expected to
materially affect the war. II is impos-
sible for Germany to organize the re-
leased prisoners for the spring drive
and il Germany waits the Yankees will
get there first.

while eight years ago It was necessary

Bugle Calls.

Bugle calls intended to facilitate
quick communications with bodies or
men at distance, have, in the main,
been written solely with the intention
Of making them distinctly different,
to avoid confusion, and as result
practically all Of them are startlingly
strung together threads Of notes with
out apparent reason or rythm. The
soldier who Is awakened by reville
may damn the music but he will admit
it has the effect Of bringing him out
Of bed very much awake. Assembly
leaves no doubt in his mind what Is
meant and he quickly learns to know
and to listen for the unlovely tune of
mess call.
There is one bugle call of the Amer
lean army, however. which must have
been written by a musician and poet
filed with the mystery Of great silen-
ces and huge bodies Of men. 1t IS the
last call OF the day, the one that bids
the soldiers put lights out" and pre-
pare for sleep. The men call 1t Taps
and 1t Is the most beautiful bugle call
ever written. No one who has ever
been in camp and heard Taps" can
forget the sweet, soothing notes that
seem to carry the mystery OF the night
and the promise Of the morrow.
Because Taps" Is the last thing
they hear and its melody Is so insist
ent in their minds as they lie in the
dark awaiting the coming OF sleep the
soldiers. who have a faculty for link
Ing appropriate words to all their bu-
gle calls, have given Taps" a more
thoughtful consideration than all the
rest. Many excellent verses have
been written for this melody, but few
more charming than the following.
which many Of the soldiers sing softly
to themselves while the bugles blow:
Fades the night;
And afar
Goeth the day,
Cometh the night;
And a star
Leadeth al
To their rest.
Love. good night
Must thou go
When the day
And the night
Leave me so?
Fare thee well.
Day 10 done.
Night Il on.
"TapS' 10 always sounded over the
grave OF a dead comrade, too. For
that occasion tho soldiers have an
other set OF words, the verse OF which
goes:
When your last
Day !s past,
From afar
Some bright star
Der your grave
Watch will keep,
While you sleep
With the brave.
