CAN YOU DEFINE
THE WORD AFFORD

Does the soldier Think of What He
Can afford" to Dot. How Many
War Savings Stamps Is Your Boy
Worth?
You know, by this time, about the
War Savings Stamp Drive, June %,
when the American citizens every
where are to meet in the schools and
sign pledges promising to pay for all
the War Savings Stamps they can
afford between that date and Deem
Der 81 this year.
But do you know the meaning of
the word "afford?"
Is there anything, and sacrifice,
and self-denial you cannot afford in
the interest of helping Kansas to sub
scribe its quota of 81 million dol
lars in this big drive?
Do you suppose your son thinks of
what he can afford to do for his
country when he enters the trenches
on the Western Front ofght for
democracy?
Franklin X. Lane, our great Score
tary of the Interior, says the Ameri-
can spirit of 1918 calls for justice.
Justice means understanding, and I'm
derstanding means sympathy, and
sympathy means brotherhood, and
brotherhood means democracy, and
so we come to the real meaning of
this great movement which Ameri-
cans are helping to support by sub
scribing for War Savings Stamps.
Are you ready odo your part?
Will you sign a pledge card in your
town or county agreeing to take ev-
cry War Savings Stamp your son at
the front thinks you can afford-ev-
cry Was Savings Stamp he and you
and his mother think this blessing is
worth? There's a committee in your
town and county.
You'll be called upon oanswer the
question in day of two.
How many War Savings Stamps
is your boy worth -?

A most interesting tribute is
paid to the "manless army" by Henry
Allen in recent issue Of the Wichi-

need of praise to the army of Red

KEEP A SOLDIER IN FRANCE
You Can Do 1t If You Join In the
Great Democratic Form
of Investment.

War Savings Stamps differ from
Liberty Bonds only in this, that their
denomination is smaller and the
term of maturity much shorter-four
and one-half years. They are the
most democratic form of investment
imaginable.
None is so poor he cannot buy War
Savings Stamps; none so rich he
would not be attracted by them.
Probably no greater inducement was
ever offered to encourage thrift than
by making these stamps available for
purchase. A thrifty man at home
will keep a man in France. Saye,
save, save, and put what yqou save
in War Savings Stamps. Think be-
fore you spend, and then buy a
stamp. To save for yourself is bene-
fetal to save for your country is in
spring. In investing in government
securities you are discharging a duty
in this crisis, and building fort your
self as well. Buy War Savings Stamps
and help win the war.

A Humanitarian Government

The most distinctive characteristic
of our present administration is it's
sympathy with the masses Of our
people. The great working ele1 1ents
have been too often forgotten. In
past years they had little means of
self expression. They could take
what was handed out to them, but
they were disrgarded in our econom-
lie arrangements.
Human sympathy has been the
feeling that has dominated President
Wilson and his associates from The
day he took office. There has been a
consistent effort to establish social
justice and give the toiler fair
chance.
Remarkable constructive work has
been done by the United States De-
partment of Labor. Efforts have been
made to get at the causes of social
unrest. Instead of trying to drive
the laborers who were holding up war
work, the president took the very SEN
sible course of appointing mediation
commission to visit the scene of such
difficulties, and learn what was the
real trouble.
1t was found on the investigation
that at least a part of the difficulty
was due to the unsympathetic atti-
tude of employers. In the case of
they lived long distance away, and
did not understand conditions. The
Department has worked for a policy
of Cancellation, and as a result labor
conditions are far more harmonious
than they were.
Had the administration of Wash
ington on represented capltalistic
power as it did for SO many years,
results would have been very differ
ent. The working elements would have
been a1tagonized much more than
it has been. The country has been
fortunate to have at it's head in this
period of crisis men of a strong
humanitarian sentiment, who knew
how to appeal to the heart of labor
and get its support for the war.-St.
Peter Herald.

HOW SHELL SHOCK SHOWS

The way in which shell shock man.
ifests itself varies greatly in differ
eat individuals, so that it is not pos
sible ia give description which CO.
vers every case.
sometimes Jnese symptoms ere
chiefly mental. The man suddenly
loses his courage, breaks into cold
sweat, and cannot think or act. He
becomes dazed, does not obey orders
feels sleepy, and then in a semicon-
scious condition wanders off, not
knowing where he is. If questioned
he can give no account of himself,
does not know his name Or his regi-
ment, has no memory Of the past; and
when taken back to a hospital does
not remember any of the past events
of his life. Shown pictures of his
family or letters from his wife, he
does not recognize them, and thus for
weeks he may remain il this state
of double consciousness-as it is cal
led or amnesia, incapable of any men
tai or physical activity. Such cases
not unknown in civil life, but ex-
ceedingly rare-are very common a.
mong these shell shock patients. and
may last for months after they have
been sent home.
Somtimes the mental state is not
one of obscured consciousness but ra-
Their of excitement. The mind is con-
tilually on the quivive for sights and
sounds. The man starts and runs au-
tomatically at any noise, jumps or
twitches like one with ST. Vitus dance
or trembles like one with shaking
palsy. Such a man cannot sleep, or,
if he does wakes suddenly with dreams
or visions of horrid sights and sounds
starts up in a tremble, with every
sign of intense alarm, and in a sem
iconscious state fights all who try
to calm or restrain him. He may
have vivid Authorizations, seeing the
sights of trench Or battle just as if
they were going on about him, and
manifesting all the emotional effects
which these sights would ordinarily
awaken.
A Canadian who had suffered thus,
and had apparently recovered, was
standing on city hall steps at recent
parade when an automobile tire sud-
denly burst with sound like a gun.
He Immediately lost all control of
himself-ran shouting through the
crowd-fought the police who tried
to restain him-was in a state of in
tense excitement which could not be
quoted, trembled like leaf and pan
ted as if exhausted, and not for four
hours did he come back to his normal
state of mind and then he had no
memory of what had occured-Scrib-
ner's.

NOT ENOUGH TEACHERS

Owing to the war demands and
other adverse conditions, the public
school is in immediate donger or go
ing back into the hands of untrain-
ed teachers, like those of fifty years
ago. before the normal school sys-
tenn raised the teaching occupation to
the dignity of profession.
This is conclution to be drawn
from a survey of the normal schools
of the United States recently made
by Prof. J. C. Brown, President of
the Minnesota Normal school at ST.
Cloud According to this survey, ev-
cry state in the Union except New
Jersey shows a decreased enrolment
of Normal schools students for the
past year. The far Western States
have lost more than half their men
and one fourth their women students
the average loss of the entire coun-
try being seventeen per cent. The
president of these schools explain that
the men are going into military SER
vice; that the women are accepting
more reaumerative positions or are
taking the places left by enlisted men !;
that the scarcity of teachers has taken
under graduates from the rolls; and
that high costs have made it i-npos-
sible for many prospective students
to attend school.
The remedies suggested are, first
an appeal to teachers, present and
prospective, to stay by this line of
work as patriotic service, and, sec
Iond, better pay. A publicity cam
paign is also recommended, design
ed to urge desirable young persons
to attend the teachers training in
stitutions provided by the state. The
Minnesota Editorial Association a.
mong other organizations has ledg-
ed itself to such publicity work.
Conditions il New Jersey would
suggest perhaps the first remedy for
this evil; for in that State, the only
one not short of teachers, the aver
age scale of teachers wages is high
er than in any other state of the I'm
ion. It is true that the average scale
over the country is rising but it has
not yet risen as rapidly as has the
cost of living, nor does it yet com
pare favorably with the scale of wa.
ges in the industries.
| Many remedies are suggested to stor
the gap till the war is over and nor.
lmal conditions return. But it is doubt
lful if all the school conditions viii
return after the war. The profession
Iof teaching must be made to promise
both permanency and remuneration
