LETTERS HOME.

Soldier he was-and good one, too
Though you may wonder just how | knew
That his was heart well steeled to test
The enemys bravest, truest, best.
Twas this that made me know his worth
AS one of the sturdy sons of earth:
He was tired today when drill was done,
For he had been up before the sun,
Yet toll was turned to new delight
There were letters home he had to write.
Letters to prove-as they only can
The tender side of a martial man.
He would ease with jokes their anxious fears,
He would dry with smiles their ready tears;
He would make the old folks think back home
That war was only hippodrome.
He would speak of camp as chummy thing
Where comrades loiter and laugh and sing.
He wrote and wrote-and his heart grew glad!-
Well, after all, war wasn't so bad;
It had brought to him good comrades new
To cherish with friends he writing to.
So he grnned and pledged TIE Flag new might
And grinners are hell when they start to fight

WE ARE ANSWERED!

- URING the past two weeks have read
some very interesting reports from vari-
- Gus branches of Red Cross work from
several different local chapters in the Redwood
Gazette, and last week sister editor adds
this note to an article of no small note.
"Wonder why we haven't heard something
about the knitting the women of the Mllroy
branch are doing? We know they knit for we
saw them do it." We have an answer to this
written by our chairman Mrs. VIM. Duncan
which we herewith publish.
"Now don't think for minute that we've
been asleep! While we can't boast of very many
individual accomplishments, we can, taken col
lectively, for it represents the work of busy
mothers and housewives who not only doing
their bit, but their utmost, sometimes working
late in the evening after the babies have been
put to bed and their daily tasks done.
eve have knit As sweaters, 80 pairs of socks,
scarfs 25 pairs Of wristlets, IL helmets, dozen
wash cloths and have finished 1876 garments and
265 bandages
zone of our knitters made s pair of socks, 2
sweaters, scarfs, helmet, wristlets and wash
cloths, besides putting in many hours teaching
others how. Many of us that pledged ourselves
one hour a day to do Red Cross work, average
and hours.
eve can boast of membership of nearly 700,
gain of nearly 400 during our Christmas drive,
which brought our village membership up to
about 80 per cent and we have the neat sum of
S51632 as our cash on hand after all bills are
paid including an item of $3.50 paid for Christ
mas packages for the boys. We can boast of
German names too, for I don't believe "Schild-
knecht" can beat "Schmid" or "Sachs." A great
many of US have at least parent who was
born in Germany That makes US feel as if we
must do just little bit more to make up for
those who aren't doing what they might.

MR.. MILLER ON ATROCITIES.

~ REPRESENTATIVE Clarence B. Miller of
X Duluth was one of party of members of
Congress who recently visited the war
zones of Western Europe for first-hand informa-
ton about what has happened and what is still
happening therein. 1t Mr.. Miller's privilege
to fraternize with and question men who know
best the truth as differentiated from the false
and the merely speculative.
The Duluth representative brings the distinc
tion home with him. In his recent speech in
Congress he took pains to say that the Ameri-
can party received no substantial proof that
Belgian children were mutilated as any part of
a military system of frightfulness but mark
what he said about women and girls
AS for atrocities inflicted upon women and
girls, it is my belief that not the quarter
the eighth has ever been told. When this
war is and the truth becomes known l.
convinced that the number and character
of unspeakable crimes inflicted upon the de-
fenseless women of Belgium and France will
astonsh, even horrify, the world
1t has been said that pro- German propagan-
dists were mostly responsible for the stories
about the mutilation of little children because
they felt sure such reports could never be SUBJ
stantiated, and because they hoped that the dis
creditng of these would raise serious doubts in
all minds about the truth of alleged outrages
upon women and girls.
By his pains in sitting the known truth from
presumed fact Mr.. Miller has rendered a SER
vice of value to those of his countrymen who
could not bring themselves to believe the charges
of infamous offenses made against German army
commanders and privates adequately based.
For the vast majority of Americans, however,
Mr.. Millers careful testimony was not needed.

OUR THRIFT.

THE war has made US discriminate between
meanness and thrift. Thrift is the pre-
vention of waste; meanness is saving for
oneself alone But war is waste elevated into
a religion" They say at the Rockefeller Insti-
tute that the cost of the present for one
week would stamp out tuberculosis all over the
world forever
All of US are now educated to the tremendous
results that can be effected by slight economies
on the part of the individuals composing a nation
of hundred million people Thanks to Mr..
Hoover, dream dreams and see visions-of
mountains of sugar and rivers of milk-all created
by abstinence from one cup of tea of
coffee week. After all, it doesn't require a
great deal of Imagination Multiply almost any
thing by hundred million and we are quite
naturally left gasping.
One hundred million loaves of bread takes in
the making, powerful lot of fiour-which might
be sent to the Allies. The war has Jared that
into the heads of lot of good people who never
thought of it before. More than that, it has
brought home to everybody startling concep-
tion of the tremendous latent power for saving
which, ater all, is the equivalent of production
possessed by the American people. And, be-
cause it is so easy to accomplish gigantic re-
suit by the simplest means, everybody ought to
start in, matter of course, to help.
AS result thrift is going to be elevated to
its ancient niche among the cardinal American
virtues. Of course, with some this will be due
to mere self-interest. When eggs are too high
people go without omelets. But principally il
will be due to the nationwide recognition Of the
fact that waste is wrong-and under present
circumstances Saturday Evening Post
