The Greatest Mother in the World

STRETCHING forth her hands to all in need; to
- Jew or Gentle, black or white; knowing no
favorite, yet favoring all.
Ready and eager to comfort at a time when
comfort is most needed. Helping the little home
that's crushed beneath an iron hand, by showing
mercy in a healthy, human way; rebuilding it, in
fact, with stone on stone; replenishing empty bins
and empty cupboards; bringing warmth to hearts
and hearths too long neglected.
Seeing all things with a mothers seventh sense
that's blind to jealousy and meanness; seeing men
in their true light as naughty Misunderstanding,
biting, bitter-but with a hidden side that's quickest
touched by mercy.
Reaching out her hands across the sea to
No Mans Land to cheer with warmer comforts
thousands who must stand and wait in stenched and
crawling holes and watersoaked entertainments
where cold and wet bite deeper, SO they write, than
Boche steel or lead.
She's warming thousands, feeding thousands,
healing thousands from her store; the Greatest
Mother in the World-the Red Cross.
Your help is needed-give till the heart says

Devil Dogs Are Disappearing.

At Cincinnati the Boche dashund,
the lengthy canine which tradition
has associated with link sausages, is
becoming extinct. A U. S. Marine
Corps poster was responsible for the
German doggie's social demise there.
The poster depicts an American bull
dog chasing German daschund
with the words, ''Tuefel Hunden
(devil dogs), which is the German
nickname for the U. s. Marines.
Since the appearance of the Marine
poster the local daschunds, of which
there are great number in Cincin-
natl, have led miserable existence,
as small boys have "sicced" bull
dogs, terriers, hounds and every
other breed of canine on the poor
..'fritzies," until at last they have
been practically driven off the streets
of the city.

A sad young man with a German

Adjutant General Lasher in Des
Moines last Thursday and claimed
exemption on the ground that he
was 35 years old, although he had
registered last year.
About the time of the registration
he had been giving his age as 26 in
order to win the favor of girl
whom he-married about the first Of
the present year and who had let 1t
be known that she was averse to a
husband several years older than
herself, he explained.
His local board has refused to
grant his plea for exemption.

One Thing But Not Another.

The proposed gas rate for Cedar
Rapids S1.05 instead of 90 cents,
seems to us a very REASONABLE propo-
sition. In Des Moines Judge Wade
has permitted the company to
charge S1.10, pending further hear
ings, he evidently deemed that a
fair rate. OF course we hate to see
gas rates advanced, but so we hate
to see the coal rates advanced and
the gas people claim that they are
paying something like Sc tJr coal
that they used to buy for $1.35 The
only thing that politicians in Iowa
dare not say they hate is the adj
vance Of wheat and corn to one and
two dollars bushel and the wages
to correspond Farmers and section
men have votes which they can cast
for or against men who want to con-
tinue in Office. But those who have
no votes to cast or few votes, their
proposed increases are always to be
opposed We Americans are a queer
people, the way we play politics and
the way we let politicians ride US,

Gil to the halls of congress. If we
were honest in such matters how
much better it would be for our

Affair a Grea Success

Something like a dozen years ago
the Rev. A. R. Grant, pastor of the
-4etnodlst Episcopal church OF De
corah and Mrs. Grant conceived the
idea Of setting apart one day in
each year as an old peoples day,
when the mem bers of the churcn
and congregation who were over q
certain age were to have the right of
way over the kids who were not
more than about three score years
old. 1t was a beautiful conception
which of course could never 1ail to
be the success anticipated and hoped
for by its projectors.
Last Friday was the day fixed up
on for the DEBORAH congregation.
Every needed preparation was made
by the thoughtful pastor and his wife
to make the occasion all that could
be desired and aided by few of the
young folks in whose hearts the
veteran friends and members hold a
worthy place. The affair went off
in fine shape. Ii there has ever
been any tendency in that church
toward the osterization of the old
folks it has no place in the heart of
the pastor or the pastors wife, nor
indeed in any other heart of that peo-
pie at the present time. 1t was
planned to have all who had passed
the sixtieth milestone register at
the church parlors at twelve by the
clock.
Accordingly invitations were ex-
tended, mostly personal solicita-
tions by Mr.. and Mrs. Grant to eighty
three persons.
OF course as was to be expected,
for various reasons it was not pos
sible for all who were invited to be
present, nevertheless there were
sxity-one responses and that number
of cheerful old people ranging in
age all the way from sixty to ninety
six were on hand when the roll was
called and an informal gathering
at the tables was had. Who knows
how many OF those dear old. people
would be thinking of the time when
the roll would be called up youier"
and they would be among the happy
number to respond-present. Three
long tables had been provided in
the basement of the church at whic1
the party was seated without for
malities of any kind Everybody
seemed to feel free and easy both in
body and mind and all were bent On
enjoying tne dinner to the utmost.
When all were seated Dean Wa. Me.
Vettie, Rector of the Episcopal
church said grace and then every
body was asked to ''go to it, which
they were not at all backward III do
ing. Captain Grants lieu .enants,
sergeants, corporals and the rest of
it at once began skipping across Nc
Mans Land, all the way from kitchen
to tables loaded with first class
commissary stores for every one in
the lines. These stores consisted of
pressed chicken with gravy, boiled
potatoes, string beans, shaved corn,
cabbage and tomatoe salad, bread
and butter, followed by desert of
coffee, ice cream and war cake Ia
Hoover, which won lot of remarks
complimentary to MRS. Grant. Most
everybody tipped the walters, not
with such base stuff as the coin of
