Our Children Whom
We Never See

w ~ ~ wv
Women whose hearts are biz and
whose incomes can be stretched to do
a little more are adopting" daughters
and sons in Europe whom they will
never see, but who will wear warm
clothes, and go to school, and be enabled
to go on living in the wreck Of their
homeland because of the monthly re.
mittances sent by their godmothss
And the only recompense to these god.
mothers will be occasional photographs
of their wards and the certainty Of a
recordation of their good deeds, which
must have been carried heavcnward on
the prayers of these little ones.
/ These are what might be termed sen
tlmental adoptions, for the children 50
adopted will have no legal claim on The
good men and women who are thus
reaching out to them q helping hand
But the problem of saving as man!
children as possible from the unhappy
fate Of institutional life can be SOLVED
only by broad campaigning for hOns
for homeless children. There is root
IN good houses, comfortable if not luxu
rious homes, for thousands of waits and
dependent children, and those who
would acquire ready made family Will
find the court proceeding for legal sdep
ton one of the simplest forms KNOW 70
the law. Women's clubs might Do an
immense and generous work for humanity
by discussing adoption and rubbing from
it the absurd dislike and almost supsf'
stitious fear of it's legal aspect.
There might be found some better
way of bringing together the chlldren
who need homes and the homes winch
need children, thus curtailing the way
ing lists now rather hopelessly filed WIZ
public institutions.
For there seems as much need Of
way to get the children as finding nome
for them. Mrs. Brown wakes up to sf
selfishness of maintaining a big hoas
filled only with furniture and servane'
and concludes she will adopt son o. q
daughter. Full Of high resolve, shccs,ls

SUNDAY WORK ON
| THE FARM APPROVED

Washington, June 29-It is quite
right and proper TO do farm work on
Sunday if that Sunday work is neces-
sary to produce food crops TO help
whip Germany. That is the attitude
of the rural church of Indiana, ex-
pressed recently in conference at Pur-
due University. The reason given for
this position was the conviction of
Indiana rural ministers that Germany
is the worst enemy of civilization and
of every church of civilization-of all
religion everywhere that is worthy the
name of religion; that the victory of
the barbarous Huns would be literally
the victory of the devil and the tri-
umph of that pagan monstrosity ere
ated by the kaiser's savage and sac
religious mind and called by him ''tAe
good old German gott;" in short that
every church in America is fighting for
its existence, just as every other COM
ponent of civilization is fighting for
it existence and that if Sunday work in
saving crops will help overthrow this
bestial menace it bccomes-veritably
church work to do.
This conference of Their ural churches
of Indiana was he'd at Purdue Uni
versity under the auspices Of the &C.
partment of agricultural extension.

PATRIOTISM VS.. POLITICS

Representative C. L. Dyer, st. Louis

when Representative Flood of Virgin

fairs committee asked unanimous con.
sent to insert in the Congressional
Record a patriotic address by Secreta-
~ Of State Lansing delivered before
a college graduation class. Dyer ex-
pressed the opinion that the address
was political" though he had not seen
it. Several days later the house re-
publicans slipped into the Record an
unadulterated political speech by Sen
ator Lenroot of Wisconsin, delivered
in Lincoln, Neb., in which Senator
Lenroot made the statement that the
United States entered the war against
Germany without enthusiasm" Sec
rotary Lansing made no excuses for
the Hun. On the contrary he
demonstrated the justice of Americas
cause.

SMART SAYINGS.

Cars are often loaded, but the en-
CINE sticks to water and does all the
work.
1t doesn't matter if woman isn't
pretty if she doesn't know she is
ugly.
Any man who gets in on the ground
floor and stays there has no use for
fire escapes.
If the average man knew what was
best for him there would be less said
about blessings in disguise.
If you associate with the devil in
your waking hours you need not ex-
pect the angels to visit you in your
dreams.

KEEP THE BOYS IN SCHOOL


ut is every bit as patriotic for
young men to go to college and COM
plete their education as it is for them
to go to war"declares the New Orleans
Item, which further remarks that at
is a part Of the duty Of the public to
give strength to this view," and the
view has been endorsed by those high
in authority.
The truth of this point is more full
ly appreciated when it is reflected that
education is but another term for
preparation for service. The indis-
pensible need of education is made
more apparent in time Of war. Even
now the government is calling out
young men and giving them hur-
ried training in the schools of thee
try for the services they are expected
to perform.
The most valid objection to the ex-
tension of the draft limit downward
is that it will take our boys out of
school and from the farms. This ex-
pedient should only be adopted as a
last resort. Who does not blush for
shame over the recent revelations that
there are 100000 men subject to the
draft in this country who cannot read
and write?
In Europe the boys have not been
called to the colors so long as men of
maturity were available. Even there,
there was ar eluctance to destroy men
in the making. Keep the boys in
school if possible Their will be a wide
spread demand for trained men after
the war. They will be needed in re-
building the commerce and industry
of the world.-Chattanooga News.
