Our Great War Work.

Every wagon in the country is, today,
bitched TO the same star "Win the War"
There is stress of activity and stress Of
emotion, great intense feeling Of bring
ing about victory with all possible speed
and thoroughncss, and in this country
wide feeling, men are taking no greater
share thnn women. Their activities are
vast. varied and Of tremendous import
ance The value Of their volunteer
service in Rcd Cross and Liberty Loan
work not to mention many other kinds
of war relief, is incalcuable.
This probably explains the apathy
toward equal suffrage at this time. Every
woman with the welfare of her country
at heart, is now engaged in real WORK,
she is not taking petitions from house To
house To get herself vote. Too many
women have husbands or sons, fathers,
brothers or Gancos nj the front; too
many other women have just the same
sympathy and Just as fine loyalty as
those whose loved ones arc IN danger,
and all this vast number are WORKING 10
win the war. OF such as these arc the
true American women Of today They
work and work with results for freedom
and democracy, for home and native
land, and they waste no time raising their
voices in the high places calling for ballots,
while thcir countrymen give lives Tor
their protection.
Suffrage can wait till after tho war
Then thcro can be an attempt 20 con-
vince the Senators from Delaware and
other States, that the women want to
vote Then there may be time for speech
making and canvassing AZ present.
canvassing for Liberty Bonds and other
work IS better than talk, and there rs
every indication hat women want TO

JUST FOLKS
THE BURDEN BEARER.
by Edgar A. Guest

There ARE days that end in gricving, days
that often go aatray,
When the little frctful worries seesn To
drive the joys away,
But ] leave them all behind me when
reach the little street
When the children run To meet me with
their happy flying feet, i,
And ] wavc farewell 10 trouble and !
toss my cares aside
When | reach the little dwelling where
the doors nre open wide.
Oh, | Let no trouble follow ocr the thres-
hold of the place
That is lighted by tho sunshine OF n
youngsters smiling face;
And | tell no dismal stories to the gentle
mother fair
Who has all the hurts and bruises OF the
little ones To bear.
| won't carry home the sorrows Of day
that's gone nstray
And make old folks out Of children that
are bungering Tor play
won't still their merry laughter with
my whimpcrinr tale of WOE;
They'll have time enough to suffer when
the years of childhood go.
| won't rob their youth Of sunshine with
my clouds of fearful care.
And bid them shoulder burdens that efr
mine alone Ia bear.
Time shall bring life's trials to them with
the passing oi the years,
But IN never mar their playtime with q
flood of needless tears
