TESTING AT SCARS.

Il is characteristic OF youth and
Adolescence 10 ~ careless of speech
and even cruel without deliberate in
tent. Which may. perhaps explain and
10 an evtanr palliate a sQu!b appear
ing in a recent issue Of a college paper
in Iowa. A Story county paper had
given account OF suicide A Young
man had taken his life under the de-
preston induced by the loss of his
young wife who had died shortly be-
fore and the Story paper related that:
No one heard thte shot, but the
brother found his lifeless body. with
the muzzle Of the gun barrel still rest
ing against his mead, where the
powder marked hole showed the cause
Of his death, nesting on a straw piie
with his feet against fence post.
The college paper remarked in at
tempted POPULARITY TO which we
might add smoking his jimmy pipe
and all curled up comfy like"
They jest at scars who never felt
a wound" Death Is universally con-
sidered the ultimate disaster in the
home and family. It is the great sor-
row OF the world since the first tears
we're shed above the body of the first
dead by the first parents in a new ere
ated world. All of loss is summed up
IN It. It is the commonest calamity,
the lot of all that live. yet the voices
OF weeping never have ceased since
death came into the world Day oy
day the .rourners GO about the streets,
Death is the one universal sorrow that
awakes universal sympathy, 1t de-
mands a reverence all its own. It IS
sometimes grotesque but il is always
terrible, never laughable never ridic-
ulous, never the legitimate butt Of at
tempted witticisms which are appro-
pirate in public print as hilarity at a
funeral.
The temptation is always before the
young writer to jest al scars. The
temptation fails after ne has suffered
the common lot Of men and Nept
above MS own dead. Jest upon sacred
things is to be avoided. There IS
sacrilege Of human feeling as Of re-
ligton and both are to be avoided by
the writer who seeks the sympathy,
friendship, and complete Endorsement

MOTHERS DAY.
Manson Democrat

Manson Democrat \
! 1t is the greatest day in the year set
apart for us all to revere our dear
mothers and to do some little act to
remember the one woman in all the
world who went down into the valley
of the shadow that we might see the
light Of day in this world and be one
of its human tntegrals. If she is living
we may wear a red flower Off her and
If she has passed away we may wear
a flower fpurest white in her sacred
memory.
In this year of war and all it's at
tendant misery the part that the
mothers are taking in the making CT
history will place the name Of mother
more indelfbly upon the scroll OF
human fame and cement her more
permanently to that pedestal of wor-
ship which centuries have erected FOR
her
She Is giving her lifeblood to defend
her country and preserve its place
among the nations OF the world. She
is taking her firstborn from his cradle
and kissing his young lips farewell to
send him to his death, maybe, in the
trenches OF far-off foreign battlefields.
She Is pressing his manly frame to
her quivering bosom and sobbing a
goodbye from her dry throat, Yet there
is no tear in her eye-naught but
flash of hatred for the destroying beast
that is tearing her young from her side
and for all that the beast represents
in the debasement of motherhood and
womanhood. She weeps not. for she
is proud of her son. There Is smile
OF triumph on her lips as she half
pushes him away from her and says,
Goodbye, good luck, God bless you!
Down on her knees tonight she Is
praying for him and for your country
and mine In Catholic churches she is
saving her beads for his safety and for
victory or the repose of his soul, ana
in the Protestant churches she is sing
ing hymns and breathing out her soul
in prayer for him that he may be VIC
torious and return triumphant from
the corpse-strewn batuefields.
She is cutting cloth and winding
bandages for her boy and her country's
boys. She is making hospital garments
for them and as the cloth slips deity
thru her willing fingers she blesses
every thread of it with her hahowed
touch She is making every sacrifice
for them in the home that they may
have the comforts that she is denying
herself that her cauntry may live on,
after this baptism of blood. and that
the stars and Stripes may always be
our iias.
This IS not the first time that mother
has saved the republic. Thru other
wars she was the guiding spirit OF
this nation into the ways OF safety and
victory. Her gentle hands and noble
mind have more than once guided us
thru the dark passages in our history
and led us into the glorious light OF
liberty beyond.
God bless mother. God bless her
silvery hair and wrinkled face God
bles her withered, toil-worn hands
and her bent form: God bless her old
favs and when the end comes give her
that sweet peace in eternity she has
80 richly earned,

GENERAL WOOD RECOMMENDS.

rSiouv City Journal
Mai Gen. Leonard Wood was not
called into conference by the presi-
dent. Notwithstanding or perhaps be-
canSA of the insistence Of the senate
military affairs committee that ne he
called. Nevertheless the public need
not feel itself in doubt as to what the
general would have recommended II
( he had seen the president. The state
nents. later published. that ne made
before the senate committee We're il
Illuminating AS a subsequent inter
view to which the general submitted
/ in Kansas City. on his way back to
several respects.
We should have an army OF 100000
men in training said the general. That
5gure includes those now under arms.
Half of the 100000 should be got
TO Europe as speedily as ships could
/ be found to carry them he contends.
We have 10 right to think this will
be a short war, he asserted We
are facing people who are all eff
cient and all powerful in the art Of
war. Until we can face them on equal
terms we can not turn the tide. We
have only begun to draft our man
power The drafts in the future will
be larger and larger. and we might as
well prepare ourselves for It.
The situation We face means that
everything in the country, men,
women, youth. material. all our re-
sources. all our moral and Spiritual
forces. must be thrown into the war.
Only in that way can we win, and we
must win"
As an immediate step to prepare for
training The larger drafts OF the fu-
ture Major General Wood recommends
the establishment Of new officers
training camps TO accommodate 10000.
He would have the camps put on a
kbasis Of six months training not three,
and would pick older men, men from
So TO 40. for officer material.
Forgetting altogether the petty and
humiliating history of Major General
Woods relation TO thte present admin
istration. and considering his proposals
as if they We're made by any other Of
fcer of standing, do they not appear
wise and prudent? Major General
Wood has a great respect for the Ger

Statistics gathered in Italy throw
some light on the question of the rela-

the supposed greater frequency Of

lions at night make the shocks more

The world discarded $4,000 tons Of
automobile tires during the year 1916.
Adding to this the large number Of
bicycle tires thrown away every year
by their owners, it appears that the
world spends every year at least $780,
600, geo for pneumatic tires alone. Dur
ing the last automobile exposition at
New York 1t was pointed out that
nearly 100000 automobiles are now
in use in the United States To supply
these with tires nearly $4,000 tons OF
India rubber are needed every year
and the American automobile owners
pay every year as much as 1900, 900 900
for their tire bill.
