The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1918-11-07

II ME President has expressed what Is IN every
American heart. AS nation we are united in
the winning of this AS nation we stand
behind our fighters eager and prepared do for them
whatever will hasten victory and make the fighters
task little lighter.
AS individuals there Is little we can 60. AS ma
ton we can work wonders through the organi-
cations authorized and recognized by the Government
They come to you not Catholics nor as Jews
nor as Erotestants not the representatives of any
creed.or enterprise but Americans to ask that you
join in this great united undertaking for God and
country and our fighters.
The President has voiced his belief that this spirit
OF unity will be crowned with abundant SUCCESS"
He believes 1t because he knows this campaign Is
of vital military value" and he knows that you will
leave nothing undone to win this war.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1918-11-07

It rests with you. Think of this campaign as your
sole responsibility. What you give will mean it's sue
cess You cannot leave this undertaking to Others It
is YOUR campaign. In France, Americans are fight
ing this if the result depended on the way each
individual fights At hone this campaign rests with
you What will you give-decide to highland make
your share the biggest thing you ever did!

Doing Your Best Wins.

A good many men who have less ac-
tual knowledge and ability than their
associates make more rapid strides
toward fame and fortune simply be-
cause they are bound to get along and
make something Of themselves. Don't
look at a nan who has been very sue
cessful and then console yourself with
the thought that his opportunities have
been vastly greater than yours. They
may have been, and they may not have
been. 1t is. Of course. true that oppor-
tunity is not always equally appor-
toned among men, but lack Of success
Is more often due to lack of effort. or
to a feeling of contentment with small
accomplishment. The man who puts
the best there is in him into his bust
ness need never worry about the little
Ills that come rolling in around thu
arst of each month.

Robbery by Kissing.

Mr.. Labouchere used to relate,
among his "reminiscences of his life as
q member Of the British embassy ut
P%etrograd, the story of the robbery
from the picture of the Virgin in the
Berian chapel outside the Kremlin at
Moscow. This picture, which is Byzan-
tine, Is Cor was until recently covered
with gold and splendid jewels, and
was brought from a monastery near
Mount Athps. One day a large diamond
Of great value was missed. 1t was
traced by the police to the palace of a
certain princess, who was known to
have visited the shrine on the day of
the loss. According to Mr.. Labouchere,
1t turned out that the ingenious prin.
cess, in the course Of her worship Of
the picture, had managed to pick out
the diamond with her teeth while she
was kissing it. She was sent forth.
with to Siberia.

Sparrow Pies.

Jacob Riis describes in one Of his
delightful essays how the good old
housekeeper in his Danish home used
to climb to the caves to rob the spar.
rows nests for a delectable pie. Now
Mr.. James Hunt of Philadelphia, who
is c%rusading against the English spar
row, advocates the pie as the true das.
tiny Of the sparrow. He furnished
the sparrows for such a pie opened in
Washington recently at a luncheon.
The guests declared that the pie a
good. and the flavor of the sparrow
was superior to chicken.

Biackbirds' Conference.
A, o. 1917,

Blackbirds hold council meetings.
apparently, to decide upon important
questions. They seem to prefer a thick
forest for these meetings. Incidentally
blackbirds will not remain where
there is powder smoke, and they can
smell it at a great distance. it is said.
They have chiefs Of the groups of
tribes who fly above the others and
keep on the watch for danger. Some
naturalists claim that these birds send
scouts ahead to see If there is an en-.
envy within sight and If the country
is supplied with sufficient food to feed
the hosts.
