the present great war. The applpica- ton of the warning sounded by the prophets of old to the children of Israel in the present day is forcefully made, after which MT. Ebel touches on present conditions among the warning nations.
 Immediately following the delivery of this message before the Little Rock Presbytery, which was held recently in Mineral Springs, MT. Ebel was given a vote of thanks. The address was endorsed by all present. Those who desirse to hear a message that combines every element of religious life with present war conditions should be present Sunday night.
 MT. Ebel assured us both by tele- gram and later by letter that he will be on hand and we do not hesitate to assure you that we believe this to be the biggest and best number of the Sunday School Chautauqua.

 We are glad to make the announce ment of the engagement of Walter M Ebel, Director of Publicity for the United States Food Administration for Arkansas, who will make the ad- dress for the final number of the suc- cessful Chautauqua Sunday night. MT. Ebel's message is one that has been specially arranged by him for churches and religious organizations
 His subject will be "An Imperative Necessity" In it he calls attention to necessity for conserving ones spirit ual and moral assets, which gives one higher appreciation of the more ma terial things the government is ask ing the people to be saving with in this hour of the nations crisis.

THE war has given women thsir big

the libels that the reactionaries have
been repeating about them.
And now that women have gsasped
their tremendous responsibilities

plants, handling traffic on street rail-
.roads-it is almost incredible that
only two years have elapsed since
justice shearn handed down his mo-
mentous decision regarding the rights
OF women to their children.
He said that The right Of a mother
to the custody Of her children is at
least equal to that Of a father"
The occasion Of this decision was n
suit by a clergyman who sought to
take the last remaining child from
his wife on the grounds OF His para
mount right as a father"
The reverend gentleman had based
his claim on decision of Black
stones. rendered in 1912. that: The
very being and legal existence OF a
woman is suspended during marriage.
IS consolidated in that Of her hus-
band"
It's Moving Fast.
In handing down his decision, two
years ago. justice Shearn said that
the world had moved since 1912. And
moved it had. But during the past
year, or since we have declared war,
it has torn along with breathless
speed, leaving out worn pre1udices
to flutter in space like dead leaves.
Justice Shearn, in disposing Of the
paramount right claim, said that.
The only basis for the fathers al
legged superior right is his obliga-
ton to support his children" This
basis disappears when one consid-
ers what the mother gives 10 her
children in suffering, self sacrifice
and devotion"
Since then the war mas compelled
women to be both father and mother
to their children. In their heroic ef-
forts to release their husbands for
war service. and at the same time TO
dren. the women Of today have shown
unprecedented fortitude.
Looking back over the first year
OF the war, the new fields Of indus
try for women lie in the munition
factories, street cars and subways,
elevator operatives. farming in all its
branches messenger service. and in
some parts Of the country as team
sters. chauffeurs and lumber jacks.
No More Sacred Sphere.
We hear no more from the reac-
tionaries OF woman's sacred sphere

are urged, IF you have a spark Of

A recent investigation as to condi-

on the surface railroads in New York
City brought out the fact that a num-
Der of them had asked for might

occupations, and women conductors
with children pleaded that they pre-
ferred the might runs" so that they

It IS TO be hoped that the enthu-

And they gave him lashes thirty.
Yes, leshes nine and thirty.

Later on Ranzo does better. He IS
taught navigation TO fit him for his sta

follows:
And he gave him vine and water.

ending with
Now Ranzo he's a sailor.

These songs can only be appreciated
when they are sung by 100 or more OF
these young American boys, every one Of
