That night when Roy and his guest
arrived, looking like two Santa Clauses

in their snow-covered coats and hats, a
cheerful vision in white welcomed them
at the door. What a welcome Y
thought the guest.
Alice's fears were dispelled at Johns
genial, hearty smile and greeting. As
she presented the new conner to her sis
ter Amy, the young wife cast mis-
'chievous glance at her husband,
Amy Barton was handsome and
charming, but that was no excuse for a
prolonged hand shake, and a broad stare
from John Mayyille to an utter stranger.
Amy, however, seemed not at all dis
pleased. II was while Alice was bring
ing in course from the kitchen that
she 'eought Roy's words:

She smiled, then entered the room.

He slipped out of sight behind thick
clump of bush honeysucl1le" his throat
beating fast, Hattie sat up presently
and with little hysterical laugh got on
her feet, After the "barS" that led into
the grass field in which her father, old
Caleb Kinser, pastured his two lean
mules, she crouched down and pressed
her fingers in her ears.
1t was in mid-September, late for
-katydids, but persistent pair of them
held to a stunted peach tree, and their
cries, shrill, vibrant cutting the soft air
like wires, were saying, to the young
mothers excited fancy; Cant keep
them In the wayl In the way!"
Most of Hattie's friends, her father
and brothers, were tobacco tenant folk,
and life was not easy for them.
Alexis Golfer was more lucky than
any of the tobacco folk; he had paid for
half his place and was improving it.
Hattie's people were all very proud of
the match All summer they had help

PUTTING 4 HALO AROUND
 4 BEER Kee

It k said hat the United Sta es Brewing Association Is buying up whole pages of newspaper space in order to tell the people how VirtHous they are, and now proud they are that the govern men5 las severed the relations of distilled liquor from their harmless and nourishng drink, beer. ;"
 And they make these asser- tions right in the face of the fact that through their brewery owned saloons these German brewers are retailing most of the whiskey that Is soll in this coun- try.
 These very members of the U. 5. Brewing Association have se- cured the privilege of wasting millions and millions of bushels of grain in the making of beer.
 So that they can continue this practice. the housewives are asked to save bread crumbs, go without wheat one day in each week and cut down the sugar for the Riddles.
 Let the babies go without sugar. for the brewers need it. Scientists tell us that sugar gives the body energy and warmth, and the children need it. The Germans were quick to realize this when they cut down the production of beer and increased the amount of sugar for each soldier, at the beginning of the war.
 Let us ask q question: What is the use of wasting grain for the making of alcohol for muni tion purposes when there is already cn hand enormous quantities Of Whiskey wnica could, ata triHing cost. be con yei,ed Into alcohol? This would save millions of bushels of grain ..tor bread Congress conferred on the President the power tc cake this whiskey already made and use it for intuition purposes @hy is 1t not done? The world would be safer and our victory would be swifter were il done and done NOW. NOW, NOW.

MRS, 4. N. ELLSWORTH,

At a meeting of the Womars s Missionary Society of the First Presbyterian Church. Prescott, Arkansas, held on Monday. Dec ember +, the following resolu- tlons were adopted;
 Since our last meeting it has pleased God. in His wisdom, to call to higher service. our be- loved friend and president, Mrs. Ellsworth.
 Her loss is deeply felt by the members of the Society; she was ever ready with willing hands and generous heart, to dc even more thar her duty in the work.
 She was president for several years, and fulfilled the duties of that office, with her usual inter- est and zeal.
 We would express our grati- tude to God, for the inspiration Of her Christian life, for the wonderful example of her un- tiring zeal in the service of the Master.
 She was faithful in all the re- lations of life, to the community in which she lived. to her Church her family, and friends. Few have been more faithful in the discharge of duty, or responded more willingly to it's many calls. Loyalty characterized her church work, and faithfulness was her watchword.
 Whereas. we would show our love and appreciation of her worth, be it resolved
 First-That while her vacant place fills our hearts with sad ness. we humbly submit to the will of God. who doeth all things we'll.
 Second-That we mourn the loss of her sympathetic, stimula- ting presence among us; may God help us to press forward with renewed energy. in rhe work she loved with her whole heart.
 Third-We extend to the be. reaved family our tender ana sincere sympathy, and commenG them to the care of the Fathe, of mereies, and the God of al comfort.
 Fourth That copy of thes resolutions be sent to the faniIA the town papers. the Christian Observer, and, that they b entered upon tue minutes Of ttp Society, and a page be inscrlbe,. t0 her memory.
