MUCH FARM WORK ~" i
NOW BEING DONE BY
AMERICAN WOMEN
Y. w, c. A. LAND SERVICE CON-
MITTEE GIVING SPECIAL At
TENTloN TO NEW
PROBLEM.

Women are doing large share OF
the farm work of the country, ac-
ccrding to officials of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association, which
has maintained special secretaries to
assist women and gir-s so engaged.
High School girls in New York are
threshing grains and gathering fruit.
Polish women in New Jersey have
picked the fruit crop; college girls
in Ohio have been doing general
farm work, while both girls and boys
in the state of Washington have been
gathering fruit.
Recruiting farm labor is not part
of the work Of the Young Women
Association, but it has sought to aid
the women and girls engaged in it
by showing the best ways of caring
for farm laborers and their children.
The Association seeks to Lift the re-
sponsibility of housing and feeding
the laborers from the farmers wives.
The Association plans to continue
its work of this kind through the
Land Service Committee. and in in
stances where there has been de-
mand for labor it has Investigated
certain occupations where business
is not so brisk in the fall, with
view OF finding where additional la
Dor may be secured.

WOMEN WORKERS MAKE
MUNITIONS FOR UNCLE SAM

Women are engaged in making
munitions in twenty-five munition
cantonments built by the United
States. Little publicity has been giv-
en- to the location OF the plants, but
most Of them are located at quite a
distance from cities or towns. Those
near towns are so much larger than
the towns that accommodations have
been provided for the women EN-

Upon the request Of the United

A majority Of the popes have been
italians, but there is no national linz

was Saxon German. whose family
name was Suidger; Clement Nv was
Frenchman named Leo Gros; Clement
V was a Frenchman named d'AgOust;
Clement VI was another Frenchman

III was Spaniard named Borgia and
was uncle to Alexander VI. These are
a few examples of non-Italian popes.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG

Edwards Olive Tablets

Theeecret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch YOUR
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face = dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-knovn physician
in Ohio perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.

tute for calomel, are gentle in their acton
yet always effective. They bring about

Use of PeItrx In History.

In using peltry we walk backward
In history. In what we moderns call
the early history Of Europe much that
was lovely was done with peltry. And
further back, when artificial heat was
not known, when men and women
lived in damp huts or palaces, when
life was crude and raw and self-sacn-
6clng in a way that we may never
know, peltry was the true means Of
covering the body and making ones
self not only beautiful, but comfort

THE GIANT is AWAKE.

The giant is awake at last It has tax
en- year of sustained effort, and the mo-
billing of an army of close to two million
men, before we awake from our slumber,
but we are wide awake at last, and doing
things-With big D.
Government departments are run
ming smoothly, and the great machinery
of war is at last forging ahead. Huge
stores of supplies of every conceivable de-
scription are being rushed across the At
lantic Army after army is being train
ed and dispatched, until the American
forces and equipment on the other side
are fast attracting the attention of the
world and sending cold shivers up and
down the German spine.
The kaiser's boast to Mr. Gerard, that
he had 100000 German reservists in this
country and ready to take up arms at his
word Of command has the ring of huge
joke. If they are here, they at least know
how to preserve whole skins.
We have hit our stride at last, and now
let's keep it up till complete victory, IS
ours. Kaiserdom, with its attendant
train Of evils, must perish from the earth.
And let us not for one moment forget
that America is the deciding factor in the
war.

LENDING AND GIVING.

1t Will be we'll for our people to get
correct line on the various calls that are
being, and will be, made on their purses
before this titanic struggle is fought to a
finish.
We must get the distinction between
giving and lending.
In the first place, we might state that
our government has not asked, and will
not ask, for one cent of gift money The
extent of its call is for loans-and for
loans on which it purposes to pay fair
rates of interest. The man or woman
who buys government bonds does NOT
sacrifice for the cause, in the sense in
which we usually employ the word. At
the most, his action entails but temper
airy inconvenience, in diverting his means
to different channels from those in which
he is accustomed to employ them In the
end he has the full worth of his money in
the soundest securities on earth-the
promises of the Z. S. Government to pay.
But there are calls being made that
entail direct giving. The activities of the
Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A., etc, are for
money from which there will be no finan-
cial return. Yet these calls must be met,
and met fully and cheerfully.
Why should we support these great
causes? Because they constitute the
great humanitizing agencies in the grim
machinery of war Their work is to rem
edy the physical hurt and undo the moral
hurt that must inevitably result from
war. An army without the Red Cross
would be unthinkable in this humanitar-
ian twentieth century The horrors of
war, at its best, are great, but without the
ministrations Of the Red Cross our arm
les could not endure
Likewise without the eivilizing influ-
ences of the religious and social organiza-
lions the morals of our troops would suf-
fer deeply Their minds must be divert
ed from the grim duties of slaughter, and
they be brought always to see behind the
dark clouds of war; the silver lining en-
bodied in the ideal peace conditions for
which they contend
1t doesn't necessarily require great pa
triotism to buy government bonds. The
support of these companion agencies
must come from the great, generous
hearts of our people
And thanks be to God of mercy, it is
coming in never-ending stream.

DANGERS OF OVER-CONFIDENCE

No greater calamity could overtake
this country than for our people, to be-
come possessed of the erroneous belief
that the war is as good as won, and that
further strenuous eXertion is unneces-
sary
The war is lot won, and unless all in
dications4 are misleading, is not likely TO
be Won soon. The forces contending for
victory are ia too evenly matched for
either TO obtain any decided victory.
Every man, woman and child in this
country should nerve themselves, con-
stantly remind themselves that their ut
most eXertion and sacrifice is Imperative
~ demanded. Any other attitude must
result IN weakening of the will to win,
and consequent slackening of effort
and these at this stage of affairs would be
fatal to our cause
Of course it is barely possible that
some fortunate circumstance may befall
OF throw victory to our arms, but this is
extremely unlikely until we have great
~ increased our strength on the fighting
front
So let us reach out after four or five
millions of fighting men, put them on the
front, and then SUSTAIN them. It must
not be said that America nation that
has never yet done things by halves, has
now taken up the practice. We will have
peace when our arms enforce it-not be-
fore

OUR NATIONAL MISTAKE.

While disaffection and disloyalty are
at a minimum in this country, still looking
into the past we can see a mistake which
the country has made that is almost re-
sponsible for what disloyalty exists
among American citizens.
If when, in spite of the earnest efforts
Of our government, war was forced upon
us, We had accepted the chanllenge in the
might have been averted We should
have accepted the gauge of battle as Who'll
ly unavoidable We should have seen,
which many of us did not, that if Ameri-
can institutions were to be maintained,
war was the only means of maintaining
them. Viewed in this light, there could
be no question as to the duty of every cit
izen. That duty would have stood out
most lainly-loyalty to ones country
and her institutions, or TREASON.
Instead Of thus accepting the newt
able, however, we in our old American
way at once began to argue and dispute
over the right of our government to en-
ter "fereign' war; never realizing, in
our blindness, that this so-called ''for-
eign" war was as much our war as it was
any other nations We should have seen
that the ultimate object of the effort of
Germany was aimed at the vitals of
America-that we were singled out for
the supreme sacrifice, to be the German
banker at the beck and call of her military
despotlsm, from whom she expected ulti-
mately to collect the enormous toll of
money that the holocaust should cost her.
But as We have stated, we have been
for year debating as to the rights of
our government, first over the lives and
services of our boys, then as to its rights
to the services of our money and our prop
erty, all the time losing sight of the basic
fact that not only did all that we possess
belong to our government in its need, but
that we ourselves are but the creatures
of that government, without which there
would now be no American people as we
see them. We have lost sight of the fact,
to some extent, that our very FIRST du-
ty is to government, as without it all
rights privileges and benefits come to
naught
We repeat, what we have before stat
ed, we have made the mistake of admit
ting that the question of duty to our gov
eminent could even admit of debate. The
question is not debatable 1t is as one
sided as is that of the right or wrong of
murder, arson, theft, or any other hu-
man transgression. The disloyal man is
as plainly in contempt of law as is the
murderer, the thief, or any other crlni-
nal. There can be no other view of t, Z
question, because in any other view lies
the seeds of anarchy and the destruction
of all law And law is the only force that
earth has yet discovered that will hold ~
tons together.
Drive the truth home to every rlan,
that his very citizesnhip carries with it an
iron-bound obligation to render his ali,
if demanded, to his government whpnev-
er the emergency arises AND { e
EMERGENCY HAS ARISEN.

HOW SOON THEY FORGET.

The bombing of American Red Cross
hospitals every time they get a chance
shows how soon the Germans forget
kindness bestowed upon them If there
is any organization in the world they
ought to respect it is the American Red
Cross. For the Red Cross really became
conspicuous in aiding the Germans, and
not so very many years ago, either
It was in 1871 at the seige of Strass-
burg, in Germany, that the American Red
Cross aroused international respect and
admiration. Clara Barton, of beloved
memory was president of the organiza-
ton. She superintendent the work of re-
lief, at the request of the German govern
ment, and worked day and night with her
competent force to relieve the distressed.
She saved the lives of thousands of Ger
mans, some Of whose sons, probably, are
now firing at every Red Cross badge they
can detect and numbering the successors
of those who saved the lives of their own
fathers.
The German government at the time
seemed to appreciate the work of the Red
Cross. They decorated Clara Barton
with the Golden Cross of Baden and the
Iron Cross of Germany. They sang her
praises in the music halls, and paid tri-
butte to her unselfishness and to her sac
rifices
Forty-seven short years have flown
by, and today the hellishness of these
same Germans and their descendants is in
evidence. Today they seek out the Red
Cross and drop bombs upon it. They do
not respect the emblem Red Cross
nurses and workers, in fact. avoid wear
ing the badge openly lest the Germans
see it and make special effort to kill the
Wearer of the badge. In human history
there is nothing SO vile as the attitude of
Germany toward the American Red
Cross. Verify, how soon they forget; but
we shall not forget-SouthWes Ameri-
can.
