showed that life is a perilous journ-
ey, but tho there are robbers who
Turk in their hiding places and seek
to take away not only material
wealth, which is the least hurt that
can come to LIES traveller, but they
seek to undermine character and
virtue and the souls of men and
women, those riches which can not be
restored, yet there are along this
journey ministers of mercy, healers
of the hurt of the world, like the
Good Samaritan. These principles
were illustrated not only from the

PELICAN STATE
BREAKS RECORD
IN WORK OF TICK
ERADICATION

Washington, D. c., May g.
Louisiana is off to a flying start in
the cooperative Federal and State
campaign to eradicate the cattle
tick fever tick and relieve the entire
State this year from the Federal
quarantine.
"At the present rate of progress"
says the March report of the Federal
inspector in Louisiana, "all of Lou
.siana should be placed above the
quarantine line by December /, 1918
and the few ticky cattle remaining
can be controlled by local quaran-
tine in accordance with provisions in
the State wide tick eradication law"
All records for dipping vat con-
Itruction were broken in March
when 813 were made ready for oper-
alton. This made up to April 1 a
total Of 3,478 watts in the State. Al
though the State wide tick eradica-
ton law in Louisiana did not be-
come operative until April /, 200,-
600 cattle were actually dipped I'M
der supervision during March as a
result of cooperation Of cattle own
ers with the Federal and State au-
thorities.
The vat building record was
smashed in March despite difficult
ties in obtaining gravel and sand, and
other obstacles, all of which were
met and surmounted. One evidence
of good cooperation in Louisiana,
according to- the inspectors report,
is the public use of private watts
built from private funds. Another
proof of interest is shown in one
parish where public funds were linn
tied and where the people built the
watts with their own money with the
understanding that the parish would
reimburse them in 1919 without in
terest. Every parish in Louisiana
except East Carroll, Madison, and
Tensas, long since cleaned up, is ex-
pected to be engaged in the general
dipping of all cattle under the new
State law.
State and parish officials are de-
scribed in the inspectors report as
giving splendid cooperation" The
State Live Stock Sanitary Board
pays from the State funds for one
Inspector in each parish. Each par
ish is furnishing a liberal quota of
local inspectors. Some parishes are
furnishing as many as % compared
with the or that might have
been thought excessive 10 months
ago.
Approximately 600 local inspectors
now are working under the super
vision of the Federal inspectors. Thu
Bureau of Animal Industry of thu
U. S. department of Agriculture ha
provided 80 veterinarians, IA train
ed and experienced agents and ade
quate office room with corps o
4 clerks. Four of the veterinarian
who have had long experience in tic
eradication work are serving as trav
cling inspectors from the central Of

SAVIOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters of a world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort, like star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
Brothers, the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid"
Ye are the ChristS of this black hour.
The Great Physician come again.
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast:
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul:
The sick, the manned and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unrol
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
Ye bid the dead arise!
0 World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucifed
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not denied!

WHAT HAS
YOUR RED CROSS MONEY DONE

N THE FIRST PLACE it enables the American people
through tbs Red Cross to help care for its army and
navy
Secondly, it has enabled America to hearten her Al
lies fighting forces and to keep up among the c1Ylan
populations, the spirit to win the war That alone has
made the American Red Cross of the largest factors
since entry into the war.
Canteens which provided food and hot drhks-more
than million meals soldiers in December warehouses
crammed with materials situated all along the French line
all along the Italian lines seaports and at places where
our soldiers are going hight institutions for the care OF
conumpives instructions for the re-educaton OF manned
men-tbese are a few of the accomplishments abroad
At home-the millions of wooden sweaters mutflers,
socks and other comfort for the In camps; the work or
sanitation around environments and the help and aoVce
given dependents of soldiers and Saorthese are things
which will make you, your children and your chldrens
children in whatever part of the world they may De- proud
Of being Americans.
Will you do your share to keep this Hand
of Mercy at its work?

LETTER FROM EARL income
AT CAMP FUNSTON

The following is letter recently re-
ceived from Earl McCone, Sedgwick
County soldier boy, by his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George McCone, promi-
nent residents of the south table sec
ton. and will be of interest to our
readers:
Supply Co., 341st. F. A.. Camp
Funston, Kansas, Jan. 10, 1913.
DEAR ONES ALL:
This leaves me well, and hope that
it finds you all the same.
We are having ideal weather here
lately. 1t was pretty cold, and we
had quite blizzard about week or
ten days ago.
When I was home some of the peo-
pie asked me if the boys were allow
ed to wear caps and overshoes. | told
them that ! didn't know, as there had
not been any issued when I left. but
since came back there has been over
shoes and army caps issued to most
of the boys. | say most of the boys,
because there wasn't enough to go
around when they issued them ont, and
so they just gave to the ones who
needed them the worst. and so conse-
quently ! didn't get any, as ! am in
side the most of the time.
We have the privilege of going to
the canteen and buying overshoes and
helmet, if we want to. providing we
wear the helmet under the regulation
army hat.
They have a regimental cook IN
structor in each of the regiments here
in camp now. The instructor of the
341st F. A. makes hi. home with the
supply company, and if there is any
new dish that we don't know how to
fix, all we have to do is to ask him,
and he tells us how to fix it.
They also have a cooking school in
each regiment that the cooks have to
attend We are taught how to draw
the rations for any number of men
that we happen to be cooking for, and
to figure up the cost of rations, etc,
and not to run over the allowance
which is 1920 cents ration Ga ration
IL three meals). We are also taught
- tell how old beef is by looking at
the carcass, as any beef over six years
old is not accepted in the army.
Last Thursday morning we were
over to the cooks and bakers school,
which is nearly half of mile from
our barracks. and we had demonstra-
ton on the field oven, which was very
interesting. We also visited the camp
bakery. This is where all of the
bread for the camp is baked. This ba-
kerry in twenty-five hours and fifteen
minutes baked 3s,ssS pounds of bread
To turn out this baking required %,
900 pounds Of flour, $50 pounds of
yeast. 800 pounds of sugar. 416 pounds
of salt, GA pounds of lard and 1854
pounds of water The bread is baked
in two-pound loaves and is day old
when it is issued, it being assumed
that fresh bread is not as healthful
as bread that is not so fresh. Every

SHALL WOMEN DO MEMS WORK
DURING TIME OF WAR?

Women should not take mems
work during the war.
In the first place a woman's place
is in the home. My opponents can
not get around that even if they
do try to show up their hasty and
unprincipled statements as true.
Why separate the women from the
home as far as the east is from the
west? They can do much more ef-
fectual work, such as knitting, con-
serving food, and bringing up the
future generation in the way in
which it should 60. That women
make good soldiers is certainly not
true. During the Civil War our
grandmothers did much more good
at home for the Confederate cause
than they could have done by form
ing Death Battalions and entering
the army. The army of Northern
Virginia would have been obliged to
surrender Immediately because wo-
men soldiers demoralize men.
My opponents may say that Red
Cross nurses are doing a great work
in the war. This is very true, but
the nurse is doing a nurses part in
this war-a part for which women
are fitted and which no man could
do.
Women are not physically fitted
to take mep's parts during the war,
or perhaps the Lord would have
made everybody a woman. Besides,
why should women work so when
there are plenty of boys, yes, mil
lions of them under the enlistment

age ready to fill mems places. This
would make them into real men, who
wants TO see our women turn into
multitudes Of care-hardened men?
1t is not proper for women to
take mems places; nor is it profit
able. The women are not fitted for
the work, as one Of the editors of
one of our foremost periodicals
says. He speaks of the example set
by women firemen, not stokers, but
the protectors of the city. The wo.
men firemen, or women frewomen
rather, when called out, say at about
three A. M, let the precious min
utes fly by while they doll up, and
still the minutes fly. The fire gains
headway even before they have re-.
moved their curl papers.
My opponents may say that wo-
men can do clerical work. What
will the poor MANNED, crippled, or
disabled soldier do on returning
home when he finds that the only
work which he can do is being done
by some one else. Old men, deaf
men, wounded men, crippled men,
blind men, young men can do more
work and are better fitted for it
than women are.
It may be said that women in
England and France are doing this
work. Those who say it do not
seem to know that the hard work in
the fields and the manual labor on
the roads are being done by German
prisoners. Even some lighter work
is done by boys, old men, or disab-
led soldiers. I am sure Mary Greene
would make the best plow boy any
farm ever had time to see. Why,
even Jack Bradley could plow bet
ter even though he were wounded
and back from the front on sick
leave. I imagine Miss Lynch would
be greatly in demand as g. wood
cutter or coal miner! Of course,
you can see the folly of such suppo-
sitions.
Do not let US wantonly destroy
the home, asking women to do work
for which there are others better
fitted.
