In Lille the population celebrated
throughout last might, shooting on
fireworks and dancing In the streets,
while streams Of old and young women
and elderly men paraded around

The soldiers and Official. photographers
were smothered with kisses and babies

By British soldiers.
Every street in the city. which shows
no outward signs OF war, was bedecked
with the colors Of the Allies, especially
with the British Union Jack. on which
was written: GLORY to our liberators."
The citizens explained that they had kept
the flags well hidden in their houses
especially for this occasion, for which
they had been waiting four years, as
they were certain Il would come Boon or
late.
Flowers plucked from nearby fields
and roses from gardens were thrown
into automobiles and pressed upon every

| fighting British troops did not sweer

the other side OF the city.

Rolled
Oats

This Is the time of year when Rolled
Oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
FAN. To overcome this condition that
seems TO occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags Of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at price that will enable the consumer
TO purchase a bag Of Rolled oats at a
price consistent to the feeding value
much less than any other product foI
human consumption.
We suggest every family order a 90
pound bag Of Rolled Oats from theil
grocer. Rolled Oats and Cream OF
Maize are considered the best substi
tutes to use with wheat -four. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cerea
or meat.

safe for democracy and Miriam
Thomas is absolutely right. This
schoolhouse work must be kept up if
we are to go on, and nothing but money
will keep it up. 1t is not a question of
more money for those who have enough,
but simply of enough money to live on
for those who have spent good money
and several precious years in prepar-
ing to do this work. These women
teachers, after having done so much in
the way of making themselves compe-
tent, are confronted by the fact that
almost any employment offers them
more comfort for the time being, and
more security for the future, than the
work which they have fitted them
selves to do. Why should they go on
permanently sacrificing themselves in
a public business for which they have
already made sacrifices in order to en-
ter it9
They simply won't sacrifice them

THE scHooLHoUsE CRISIS

1t is fairly evident that more money
has got to be put into the teaching
business. The teaching business in
this country is state or national
business, as indeed it is in all coun-
tries where the people are making an
effort to take care of themselves. 1t
Us a necessity because all the children
brought into the world have TO have
2 big lift in order to bring them up to
the point where their parents leave off
for good. This big lift, which each
generation has to give to the following
generation, simply in order to get the
following generation informed enough
to take up the business of living and
carry it forward, costs money. 1t is
not amateur work, and it cannot be
done by amateurs to the degree re-
| quired for either safety or social and
political growth. It requires experts
men and women specially trained to
do it. This is the demand, and nothing
but money can furnish the necessary
supply. Hard cash is required, not be-
cause teachers have greater love
for money than other people, but be-
cause they have about the same regard
for it, and. certainly the same need of
it.

A good plan for the boys and girls
would be to keep diary of the great
war. They are living in time when
history is being made. A record of
events, written from day to day, par
ticularly when it takes in the soldiers
from the home town and the stirring
scenes they are going through today,
will make interesting reading to big
audience in later years. 1t will also
help the young people to fix in their
memories dates, events and incidents
which will become historic for recall
in their mature and still later years.
Suppose a boy had begun keeping a
war diary when the war broke out, or
even when America entered the great
contest. If asked such a question as
"Who was the first American soldier
to give his life for the cause of democ-
racy on French soil?'' he would reply
instantly today, "James Bethel Ores.
