Did you ever see u picture of the
kaiser laughing? Come to think Of 1t,
all those at the head of the German
government take themselves pretty Sc
riously, says Washington Star. What
they need Is a laugh now and then
to take the stress off their minds and
get themselves out of the habit of
thinking the world revolves around
them. Imagine the kaiser spending
forty years collecting jokes and award
ing an iron cross to the individual who
would make him laugh. What differ
ent world this would be. Laughing
men never would have precipltated the
present world crisis. If the kaiser lad
formed the habit of the great uplift-
Of the corners Of his mouth-Belgium
would have been Il happy nation today.
Laughing men never strewed Europe
with dead wrecks Of men and cathe-
drals.

Whatever the skeptical may think
those who have come closest into touch
with wars red destruction have been
profoundly impressed by the effect Of
prayer. 1t does relieve and reassure
the mind. 1t cleanses and encourages
the soul and strengthens the individual
10 his task. Men go to battle calmer
aud Drawer because they feel at peace
with their maker and the same psychOl.
ogy should apply TO the nation that
sends them. Making all allowance for
the cynical philosophy that would de.
ny the efficacy of prayer or the concern
of the almighty In the petty politics Of
mankind, the spectacle of nation on
its knees, humbly acknowledging Its
debt to God, must be an inspiration,
says Omaha Bee. None need to apol.
ogize for praying and no loss can pos.
slbly attend general supplicatlon for
favor In the sight of God.

0While President Wilson and his adj
Illustration show no intention of dis
ontinuing the campaign to bring
bout peace by argument, they do
Bow an increasing realization of the
mprobability of PEACE within short
iine. Possibly they are ready TO ad
nit that men and guns will do the
most to end the war. At any rate,
or preparations are being speeded up
n a manner that is gratifying. Plans
ave been completed FOR sending to
he training camps the second incre-
nent of 100000 men. beginning about
FAY I, and continuing at the rate of
1000. men a week. These. 1t is be-
Ieved, will all be taken from class one,
Fhich numbers approximately 1900

vill become twenty-one years of age
uring the year ending June next.
With increasing rapidly the men of
he first draft are being sent across

Teat number of vessels have been

b let Pershing have these materials,
ut sufficient argument and pressure
yere brought to bear to induce a

In the matter of American ship
building. the prospect is fairly rosy
again. The president, by quick and
decisive action, put an end to the strike
of shipyard carpenters, and on Thurs
day the pleasing. announcement was
made that the drive for the enrolment
of 10000 shipyard workers would

The following. taken from II circu-
lar Of the United States Food Ad-

Colorado housewives:
You will get better results If you
mix two substitutes than II you use
just one alone. Some good combina-
tons are:
Rolled oats (ground) and corn
-four.
Barley -four and rice -four. si
Buckwhcat -four and potato -four.
Peanut flour and sweet potato flour.
Soy-bean -four and cornmeal.

2. The batter often looks too thick,
and sometimes too thin, but you will
hnd that II you have measured Ms

good after baking.
3. Bake all substitute mixtures
more slowly and longer.
4. Drop biscuits are better than the

# You Have Become q Since June
5th, 1917, You Must Register June 5

The Secretary Of War authorizes
the following:
With the signing by President Will
son Of the bill and proclamation des-
ignating Wednesday, June s, as the
day on which all men who have reach
ed the age Of Fl since last June s
shall. register for military service
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
Once Immediately began prepara-
tions for the enrolment of the men.
Instead Of using the election machin-
eryas was done last year, Gen. Crow
der will call upon the local boards.
It is believed that their experience
during the past year has peculiarly
fitted them to handle the new regis
tration economically and efficiently.
Gen. Crowder has estimated that
probably three-quarters of million
men will be added to the American
Army by the new registration. His
estimate is based on the fact that al
most 100000 men registered last
year. This number included all be-
tween the ages Of FL and 81, and sta
tistics collected by Gen. Crowder's
office show that little more than 10
per cent Of these men were 81 years
old. On that basis it is estimated by
draft officials that the total registra-
ton will exceed 100000, Of which
ESQ, 900 will be available for military
service. This makes proper allow
ances for physical detectives, exemp-
tions because Of dependents, and 9TH
er bars to military service.
The law provides that every young
man In the United States who has
reached the age Of 81 years since
June s, 1917, or will reach that age
on or before June s, 1918, must reg
lister. The only exceptions are In
the cases Of men who are actually in
active military or naval service. All
male persons, citizens or aliens, born
between June 8, 1895. and June 8:
1897, inclusive, except oficer. and
enlisted men Of the Regular Army,
Navy and Marine Corps and the Nat
ional Guard and Naval Militia while
In Federal service, and officers In the
Ohicers' Reserve Corps snd enlisted
men in the Enlisted Reserve Corps
while In active service, must register.
Some Misunderstanding has been
caused by the publication Of reports
that medical and divinity students
need not register, and Gen. Crow
der has issued the following state
ment:
..Dminitx xtpdents and students Of
medicine must register. Under NE
terms Of the law signed by the Pres
idsnt, on Monday students who were
preparing for the ministry IN recos-

work has been done.
Thrift stamps sales amounting to

Numerous other things have been
