If You Were There Instead Of Here

IF you should see French child-a tiny gih-sitine
by the roadside. sobbing quietly because she istoo
weak from hunger to cry very loud, you would sell
your watch to buy her breakfast
If you should hear somewhere in the restless
wards the low moan of an American soldier, you
would gladly sit by him all night that would save his
life.
You are not there but here where these sights and
sounds are not brought home to you! But the Red
Cross is there-and you can make it your representa-
tivel
Over there the Prussians are crucfYine the incar-
nate Liberty of Man. and they are making the world
black for little children!
The money you give to the Red Cross now will
give you the right when the Beast is beaten down. TO,
think. There are happy children, clear eyed womer
and strong men alive today. because my money went

What are you going to do about it?

APPLE PIES.
by J. E. Jones.)

(By j. L. JoneS.)
The great Virginia apple crop is
comm to market. and Washington war
workers are making raids upon the
apple pie counters. A good many of
the girls from che old home town"
remember the days when the neigh
bors used to send in apple pie and
thought no more of it than do the
happy little stenogs who now divide
their chewing gum with their chums.
For chewing gum in Washington is as
common as chiggers in Mississippi,
and as respectable as grape juice in
Lincoln Nebraska, even though it is
six cents q package on many show
cases, At restaurants where they still
have bill-of-fare apple pies have at
tanned the commercial dignity of be-
ing listed as ten cents per cut, while
in the more magnificent establish
nlents, where menus" tell the order
Of the cay, the prices are from fifteen
to thirty cents; thus raising the pirce
of the bakers products from sixty
cents in cheap places to one dollar and
eighty cents for one pie of six stan
dardized cuts in the swell hotels.
Now, good juicy apple pies are sup
posed to be made principally of apples,
and it is a pretty mess when the con-
t9nts spread between the clusts made
! Of few cents worth of real Ameri-
can white flour, treated to the varnish
of real American lard, is put on the
counter for human patriots to eat at
the present high rate of purchase
Apple pies have advanced several
hundred per cent since those days
when you could get glorious golden
brown piece of pie for nickle at a
swell restaurant. However, pies have
permanently abandoned the five cent
zone-a price left for only few
things that one has to purchase. The
sugar for apple pies used to sell at
twenty pounds for dollar; but, even
though surgar is now so scarce that
everybody is economizing on it, it re
fuses to recongnize the ancient nickel
pound schedule. American white
flour, American lard, and American
spices, have shot upwards in the COM
mercial scale, and have added their
own particular evidence to the claim
of the man at the bakery, and the man
at the pie counter against unlimited
supplies of pie at popular prices"

THE SUNS ERROR.

In an article on the standing of the
various towns of the county in the
fourth liberty loan, yesterdays Clear
water Sun says:
"Of the larger towns Tarpon
Springs has made the poorest
showing. With an allotment of
100000, which has been reduced
from an original figure of $685.
900, the Sponge City has reported
only $4,000, and of that $4,000
was subscribed by New York
sponge firm"
There is no denying the fact thai
Tarpon Springs has, so far, made {
poor showing. In giving the New
York sponge house credit for $4,000
however, the Sun unwittingly robE
this city of $4,000 which was sub
scribed by local people, as the spongt
company's subscription was, in reali
", only $500.
Tarpon Springs has a long way tt
go before reaching the top, and the
'ime is very limited, but the people o.
this city are now bestirring them
selves in earnest, and it is confidently
believed that when the campaign
closes on Saturday night Ta1po1
Springs will have subscribed its full
quota and more.

| GIVE ALLFOR This"

Can you see the picture? The
aHoman-her right arm clasping close
she tiny babe of few weeks, the very
pressure of her outspread hand upon
she tiny form suggestive of her moth
ser passion of love, protectiveness and
guarding care. Her left hand holds
~out the jewels-the last and most
valued, most precious of her jewel
treasures, the ones into whose worth
1ove has been woven, the ones whose
very touch upon her flesh awakens
sweet, poignant, dearest memories.
But they GO lightly into the melting
got wherefrom earth's treasures are
transmitted into the power which shall
win world freedom, without which no
1iniest babe in all the world is safe.
The mother gaze is upon neither
babe Or jewels, but rather it is across
Ghe spaces and overseas-for spaces
sDeco meas naught and seas, grow mar
low where hearts are touching-into
Ehe world of darkness and despair;
where honor is as naught; where lives
are crushed and mutilated; where
babes are smashed and trampled;
where hope is a forgotten thing, faith
"a cruel mockery, and love a lost heav-
en to which memory reaches from
baell's deepest depths.
The mother sees, and she sees it not
las fate befallen a people far away.
but as an undreamed horror which
mas come into the life of today, cast
ing its menace over her child and the
children of all mothers. But her Am
rerican mother eyes lose not hope, for
into her vision floats a banner and
the banner is her country's flag, borne
by the men of America, her own be-
loved among them. They're cover
.yonder," not on the soil of their own
~country-only as God gave to Ameri-
ga the high privilege.-and transmit
ed that privilege to her sacred
1right-of making every soil a soil
~whereon freedom MUST BE.
The vision grows-the million or
TWO million Americans become, if nee
Sessary, many millions; she sees her
part in it and the great part of all
women everywhere; her fingers I'M
Irvine that the jewels may go, and
across the sky-undemeath which her
scountrymen are floating her country's
fiag-there flames the bow of promise.
and face and figure are bathed in the
lnaio of its radiant glory.
20, mot until she gives gladly of
money, jewels--her all of earth's gold
lis the promise given in the glory of
azhe victory flung across the skies and
written in the heavens.
This is the picture that Rev. Harriet
I5aker Robinson saw recently in the
Gnness studio at beautiful Cragsmoor,

George Inness, jr., at the request of

PRESS COMMENT

London. April 10.--Most of the morn- ing. newspapers agree with the prin- ciples of Premier Lloyd Georges man power appeal There is no quarrel with 1t, but several papers declare there is no need for caution.
 The Daily Mail says. however, that the choice which is now being made Is between victory and defeat, adding
 NO faint-heartedness of the sir- viyors must make the sacrifice of our dead in vain"
 There is no other course than thai which Is proposed" it adds, "as RIs- sia has failed us and the Gnite5 States has not been able to send us armies in time"
 The paper says that Irishmen cannot be excluded when men of 50 in England are being called up for service
 On the other hand. the Daily News agrees that whatever steps will further the prosecution of the war must be adopted, but says:
 Tn striking balance we must satisfy ourselves that the gain will be more than the loss."
