GREETINGS FROM o. H. o.

Dear Social Cornerites: Although not a member, I read your letters every week.
 Friend RoxaHna: Did you ever be- long to the New England Homestead club? I used to, and some B or 24 years ago, before I was married. I went to Eou@h's Neck alone to pie nic of the Homestead club l stayed few days and I have shells now I picked up on the shore. It was a pleasant trip and the ''whitecaps'' showed so plain on the water in the breeze.
 Time has sped on since then. My father and mother have been laid to rest. I was married nearly 20 years, then my husband died: now 1 have nc one but myself to care for
 Father and mother brought up a young man who makes his home with me still. though not Over there" yet He is Major John Buckley and is working for our governor
 l suppose the Sisters are busy pre- pairing food for, winter I have a good garden which I have taken most of the care of. So 1 am trying to do my bit With the rest. o. H. o.

His Promises.

When Jesus said Let not your hearts be troubled"
 Full well he knew That in this world there would be many hear+aches
 For me and you. He knew the way would cause our fec+ to weary.
 And yet be hest: So lie has promised he would kindly lead Us
 And give us rest. He knew earth's stains would reach and touch our garments.
 Temptations flow Would make our sins as scarlet; yet he promised
 His .white as snow" If life could be without a tear. and always
 A sunny day. Then Jesus would not sure have promised he would
 Wipe tears away. Had ! no loved ones sleeping meath the myrtle,
 Were no graves mine. 1 might not think enough of things immortal
 Of joys Divine. Though earthly life for me holds minor measures
 My way be dim His promises to me are greatest treasures
 That lead to him.

THEoDA IS DOING HER BIT.

Dear Sisters and Editor: acllnow- ledge receipt of yellow paper, for which accept many thanks.
 1 also thank all those who so kind iy remembered me with cards on my birthday a short time ago. Your faces came to me so vividly and again II recalled the endearments of friend ship.
 Some time ago Farmers Daughter inquired where I was, but, like Mar ried and Happy, I was doing my bit" Her letter of some months ago, telling of her. work, was intensely in teresting and l am sure we all thought how characteristic of her; what a noble patriotic helper she is: but in i continuous emergencies I have found myself doing my bit, and some that | was not my bit, and 1 wondered if l. 1 too, wasn't patriotic? My stunts have lasted for hours at a stretch, and continuously. I think 1 turning the clock ahead one hour has made an extra hour for work for peo- l pie in. rural communities And I have l thought of other Sisters who have l bravelv stood by the guns-the re- 1 sponsipillties the actual hard service. l C. F. S., Remember Me, Aunt Sarah. i Dearie and Crimson Rambler: Red l Cedar tells us of her activities and Wrinkle writes of Sister we would ike to live neiShbor to: and isn't her patriotism sincere when she has a room full of work and babies to care for that their mothers can have an occasional visit to the Red Cross work room?
 am sure if facts were known we would find a large circle that deserve a medal for bravery in service.
 T1,. the writers, as two weeks ago there were not more than three columns of letters.
 June: Your letter received; will an swer soon.

 The organizer of the work was also purchaser of supplies Every morn ing she went to market, starting at about six o'clock, when retailers were making their purchases from the farm wagons. She bought at barrel rates whatever was cheapest that morning. She carried the expenses of the mar keting, to be repaid bit by bit as the workers claimed their food from the store room the following winter. Each worker was emitted to her share Of the products of any day she helped. But If Mrs White happened to come on Tuesday and Thursday. when they packed string beans, and was unfortunate enough to miss the Peach marmalade days, she arranged to exchange five quarts of her beans Tor an equal amount of someone's i narmaiade. There was never any difficulty in arranging that part of th< work which seemed to take care of litself automatically.

Allen Property Custodian Palmer
Puts Efforts to Control Business

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 7.--Ger-
man industrIalism is as much a men,
ace to world peace as German mill
tary autocracy. a. Mitchell Palmer,
alien property custodian, said In an
address here tonight, reviewing the
work Of his office in taking over and
Americanizing enemy-owned prop
erty.
The business built up by the Ger
mans in the United States will be
forever lost to them, Mr.. Palmer
said. lie added that mo other course
would be compatible with the safety
of American institutions for German
autocraCy Is quite AS apparent in its
economic exploitation Of the world
as in its governmental and military
domination of central Europe.
Mr.. Palmer, who spoke before the
University Extension society of Penn

todians office has now assumed con-
troll of nearly half a billion dollars
worth OF enemy controlled or owned
properties All OF the interests of
enemy persons in American indus

ness, Mr.. Palmer said, will now be
sold at public auction to American
citizens and whatever accounting Is
to be made when the war is over for
enemy property taken, 80 far as that
accounting affects investment in
American Industries, will be for the
money value thereof and not for the
thing itself
Germany must be made To under

has failed in the industrial field as
in the military disarmament. Au-
tocracy in industry must fall with the
fall OF the Hohenzollern dynasty. The

militarism OF the German empire
should free it from the menace OF iis
autocratic industrialism as well"
