EVERYTHING EXACTLY RIGHT,
EXCEPT"

Everything is just exactly right.
We have had great season, nave
great crops and good health. Every
thing is just cvactly right except tho
war"
A good citizen thus expressed him
self in this Office on Tuesday. a fine
rain had fallen on Monday afternoon
and Tuesday morning, and all ma
ture was rejoicing and Illustrating.
1t was just such day as to trans
form gratitude into words of thank
funess. Just rs he had about com
pleted his expression of apprecia-
ton boy came in khaki, on furlough
home, and the citizen added to his
expression, "exccps the war" a
shadow, four thousand miles long and
rs wide IS the weld, casts lis gloom
over any picture painted now. And
this shadow falls across the thresh-
hold of every American home, OBJ
scuring, coloring every thought.
Except this war;" Perhaps our
friend sees only onc-the evil-dark
side, of the picture. All wars are
calamitous but not, therefore, a ca
lamity. All of us believe now, or at
least should believe, that this war
will eventually prove to have been
just the opposite of calamity-a
worldwide blessing. The destruction
of property, the breaking up of the
homes, tho loss of human life, of
course this is calamitous in the en-
IRENE. But all this, and even all
that we can conceive of the direct
effects of the ravages or war piled
up on top of all this horror, never
theless, there will come out of it all
blessings not now seen, perhaps, by
even the most optimistic of men
blessings to, not one race or to one
country, but to every tribe, and ma
tion under the sun.
AS calamitous as this world war
has been, already the world has be-
gun to see and feel its beneiicent
power. When the work of the Red
Cross, I. M. 4. A, and other great
organizations is rightly considered,
when it is seen how the whole nation
has been stirred, unified and cement
ed in patriotic unse!iish labors of
love-all these and more, the inspir-
ing conclusion is irresistible that His
will is being done, or beginning to be
done, ION earth as il is in heaven.

Everything is just exactly right, and
the war, too"

ton of healthy, vigorous birds os the
breeders, early Matching, culling the
flock, and the production of infertile

houses and food hoppers will be dis
played as well as many oil colored
bromides illustrating various varie-
ties OF chickens and types of poul-
try houses.
A Government poultryman will be
attendance to give advice and in
formation and to distribute bulletins
on poultry.
