1t was the original intention to begin

two weeks. This action, therefore,

THE BATTLE HYMN
Of THE REPUBLIC
JULIA WARD HOWE'S WONDERFUL
SONG URGED FOR NATION
AL ANTHEM

A national song is peculiar in that
1t cannot be made to order. No song
writer has ever succeeded when he
has undertaken with deliberate pur-
pose to produce a national hymn. This
is no less true of it's music than its
poetry, for it is also worthy of note
that no great national lyric was ever
written by great poet. Many Of the
worlds greatest melodies came from
humble surroundings, Hail Column
bia," Dixie" and 1.-THE Bonnie Blue
Flag" came from the theaters in Phila-
delphia and New Orleans. The MAR
seillaise," one of the most powerful
and soul stirring national songs, came
from revolutionary songs and dances
of the French Revolution near the
close of the 18th century. A national
lyric is the product of a crisis time
and of souls set af1ame by it. 1t is
the child born of peoples political
woe, and Graded in their misfortunes,
as the commonwealth rocks amid the
storms of war and revolution.
Many war songs OF high order
arose in the. Civil war but few have
stood the test Of time which is neces- |
sary to make them national The ma
ton will not be likely to accept
song which revives painful memories

mammoth brute. War.

In order to become national melo-
dy, song must first have served an
apprenticeship as war song in actual
service, or as a unifying hymn in
times of imminent national peril. 1t
must bear the marks of soul-agony;
it must first bare it's breast to shot
and shell. 1t must first keep watch
over the mangled, graveless dead, and
hold canteens of water to the burning
lips of the dying. 1t must warm and
encourage the heart of the boyish
picket, who, in front of the foe, walks
his lonely beat at night. All these
and more, requirements are made be-
fore a song takes it's place as ma
tons love, and few are called to pro-
duce such song.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, however,
was one of these chosen few and her
Battle Hymn of the Republic" will
last as long as there is nation on
this continent by the name Of the
United States of America. When we
hear it's stirring tune and words we
always thrill with the feeling of dan
ger, horror of war, and the strong de-
sire to stand together to avert this
danger for the sake$ of Christ, our
greatest Messenger of Peace.
There is a wonderful touch Of pa
hos, as well as patriotism in this |
strange battle hymn, and even today
We may use it as a peace song for

GET Nine CENTS
MORE FOR SACKS
PRICE FOR SACKED WHEAT is
PLACED AT NINE CENTS
ABOVE BULK

SAN FRANCISCO Farmers in the
western states will be allowed cents
a bushel, or approximately 20 cents
each for bags on sacked wheat for
the new crop of 1918, it was ann
nounced yesterday by R. A. Levin,
second vice president of the Grain
corporation of the United States food
administration, and southern agent for
! California, Nevada and Arizona. The
new price amounts to an increase of
about II cents bag over allowances
for the 1917 crop and will assure the
farmer an adequate return on the
price he has to pay for new bags, it
was said.
Not Due to Speculation
There has been agitation over the
high prices being asked for bags for
the new crop. A full investigation
was held last week in Washington,
before the war trade board and the |
evidence went to show the present
high prices are due to the prices de-
manded for bags in Calcutta, and not
to any speculation on the part of the
bag men here. While no definite al
lowance is set for barley, it is known
that the value of the secondhand bags
is added to the bulk value of the bar
ley and indirectly the farmer will get
back just about the same proportion
If the bags when he sell his barley.
Contingent on One Fact
Many farmers, it was said, do not
'ealize this, but feel that they have
ost the entire expense of sacking
rain.
The assurance of the new price, so
ar as the grain corporation is con-
erned, is contingent upon the fact
hat the end of the war or other
auses might be such that the grain
orporation would not handle the
heat crop this year as they have in
le past, and the allowance of cents
bushel is based on the present bag
arket and would only be revised if

The IND Of the Passage.
Wally Selfridge was q reliable bpsi-
neSs subordinate even though he had
slipped up in the matter Of the ap-
pointment Of Elliot. But when II came
to facing the physical hardships Of the
North he was q 4alingerer. The Ka-
matlah trip had to be taken because
his chief had ordered II, but the little
man shirked the Journey in his heart
Just as he knew his soft muscles would
shrink from the aches Of the trail.
The part Of the journey to be made
BY water was not 10 bad. Left to hls
own judgment, he would have gone to
st. Michael's by boat and chartered Q
small steamer for the long trip along
the coast through Bering sea. But this
would take time, and Macdonald did
not mean to let him waste day. he
was to leave the river boat at the big
bend and pack across country to Ka-
matlah. It would be a rough, heavy
trail. The mosquitoes would be a con-
tinual torment. The cooking would
be poor. And at the end of the long
trek there awaited him monotonous
months In wretched coal camp far
from all the comforts Of civilization.
No wonder he grumbled.
But though he grumbled at home and
at the club and on the street about his
coming exile, Selfridge made no COM
plants to Macdonald. That man Of
steel had no sympathy with the yearn-
ings for the fleshpots. He was used
to driving himself through discom-
fort to his end, and he expected as
much Of his deputies. Wherefore
Wally took the boat at the time sched-
uled and waved a dismal farewell to
wife and friends assembled upon the
wharf.
Elliot said good-by to the Pagets
and Miss O'Neill ten days later. Diane
was very frank with him.
