assistance of our widows and or
phans.
Il understand the new effort
which you propose to undertake
now in behalf of our society. l
commend it with all my heart. It
will be in truth a mighty consola-
ton and a precious encouragement
for our soldiers to know that,
thanks to you, even though they
shall succumb in the glory of the
field Of battle, their wives and their
children will not be abandoned.
This assurance should give to
them even unto the end, the neces-
sary strength to force victory and
draw closer yet the sacred bonds
which already unite them to their
new companions in arms. Thus
shall be sealed for all time the
brotherhood of the two great peo-
pies of America and of Europe"
The money which was thrown
into the big flag which was carried
by the Palladium staff in the
Fourth Of July parade was used for
the adoption of French War or
phans. One of the orphans adopted
is little girl who is deaf mute
and another is little boy whose
father was French lieutenant.
The pictures of the orphans may be
seen at the Junior Palladium Of

Dear Aunt Molly:

Zeal Aunt mOliy
How many feet of wireless are
there in the world?
David HENDERSON.
Dear David:
In other words, l suppose you
would like to know how many feet
of air there are in the universe.
Of course we might start laying
ruler down and measuring the
air around the world where the
course of wireless message might
pass one time; and then we might
move the ruler over a quarter of
an inch and measure the course
which another message might take,
but in the meantime you might
swallow some of that air, and then
we surely would have a time fol-
lowing it down into your lungs
and back again.
Still David, just to satisfy your
curiosity, according to my last esti-
nation, there are four billion, three
hundred and fifty-seven million,
eight thousand and seven feet Of
wireless, more than you can i'm
agine.-Aunt M.

Americans Praised for
Generosity to French

The work of The Fatherless Chill
dren is peculiarly understood by
children. The horrors of battles
and the land devasted by the Hun
are rarely told to the children, but
to tell one child that there is an
other in France whose father will
never come back from the wars is
perfectly allowable 1t is also right
to explain that a French mother
wants to keep her children with
her and can do so if she gets help
from America. That is what every
young American should know and
can understand.
Whenever school children have
become interested in adopting
French orphans they have gone in
to the movement heart and soul.
They have not only subscribed to
the necessary amount of $3.50, but
they have also sent cheerful letters
across the seas. In this way the
adoption has kept the charm of a
new game and the French child
becomes playmate. If the older
Americans will stand by their chill
dren many more orphans will be
adopted this coming year.
The following is the list of adop-
tons for this year:
Total humber of adoptions sent
to Paris from January l, 1918 to
July /, 1918. 27,195.
Total number of renewals sent to
Paris from January l, 1918 to July
l, 1918. 4,s74.
Total number of orphans names
sent from Paris for adoptions from
January 1, 1918 to July l, 1918
1880.

But dad the most fun about the
T. A. 0. is misleading in the other
fellows. Today Tom Harlow and
George Brooks wanted to join so
bad that we said they could if
they'd be game to try anything
once and so after school we tried
them out.
First we made the fellows dress
up like girls and go over to Miss
SeamOre'S and ask for something
to eat. You know how fussy she
is dad. well we thought she'd turn
them down fiat. but say, now hon
est dad, George knows how to work
people so good he ought to be a
secrit service man, wish you
! could of seen him.
Our red bud is just in bloom so
he got some off of the bush there
by the south gate, and when Miss
Seamore opened the door he said
he had brought her a flower and
please could she let two poor girls
! have a piece of bread because they
were so hungry. And dad, what
did she do but give them some ba-
nanas and fruit cookies and a great
big piece of Chocolate cake three
inches thick, and all the time we
just had to stand there looking
through hole In the back fence
and watch them eat it.
Bill Hadley said it made his
mouth water so bad he thought it
had sprung leak So we decided
we'd get even, and we did alright
We got plate of maccaroni and
wet it so it was all cold and wiggly
and then we got some good fat fish
ing worms and put them on a plate
too. Then Harold Jones got one of
his fathers handkerchiefs,-I didn't
take yours dad. because mothers
got all your things put in your
drawer in piles and we're going tc
keep them that way. dad, just wait
ing for you,-and we made a blind
fold and then made them fee
which ones they'd eat. George got
the right one, but dad, honest, Ton
Harlow thought the fishing worms
was maccaroni and so he ate it

Dear Aunt Molly:

Dear Aunt Molly:
Why does the moon look much
bigger when it is rising or setting
than when it is up in the top of the
sky? William Campfield.
Dear William:
Scientists believe it is because
you have something to compare it
with, while it is just over the tree
tops, but that when it is high in the
heavens the great space of millions
of miles about it makes the moon
seem rather small. A ten-year-old
boy may feel rather large himself,
when he stands beside a little
clamp Of toad stools, but if he were
out in the middle of the ocean all
by himself, he would feel rather
small-Editor.

OSCAR MUNS0N TELLS M|SS0ULA
PAPER HOW HIS 'BUNME" DIED

Mirror publish letter and newspaper
story. They follow:
"Troy, Idaho, June 10, 1918.
Mr.. Chas. Munson,
Moscow, Idaho.
My Dear Sir:
/ enclose herein a clipping of a let
ter from the Daily Missoulian, of
Missoula, Mont. 1t was written by
your son Oscar, and was so much ap-
~preciated by the friends of Marcus
Cook that | thought you would be
pleased to know of the voluntary
kindness of your son Oscar in giving
this much-needed information, which
was so hard to get at that time.
Marcus Cook went to school to my
self, and also to my daughter Pearl,
and we both boarded with his parents,
Frank Cook and wife, of Como, Mont.
They are excellent people, and Marcus
was an exemplary young man The
clipping was SEM us by his cousin
with a request for US to return it,
but / could not refrain from sending
it to you, but beg you to return it to
me soon so l can return it to his
cousin who prizes it but knew moth
ing of our being acquainted with
Oscar; and it is very strange that
the only two boys on that vessel of
our acquaintance should be bunk
mates and one lost and one saved.
The boys were probably drawn
together, because they were Sigma
NUS. If you meet any of those Mos
cow Sigma NUS, tell them of this.
Also let Oscar know how much his
kindness was appreciated by Missoula
Sigma NUS and Marcus Cooks
friends, and you and I ear think how
much we would appreciate this infor-
nation were it Loran or Oscar in
Cooks stead.
Very f%raternally yours,
J. B. KITCH."
The clipping from the Missoula
paper tells of the death of a former
student of the University of Montana.
The story, as told by Oscar Munson
to that paper, follows:
Marcus B. Cook, the State Univer-
sity man who lost his life when the
Tuscania was torpedoed, met death
bravely as a true soldier when his
Iifeboat was shattered against a cliff.
Sergeant 0. C. Munson, an Idaho
man who was Cooks 'bunkie' on the
trip across, describes the Montana
soldiers death in a letter to the local
of the Sigma NJ fraternity,
If which Cook was a member. Mum
son was a Sigma NJ at the Univer-
'ity of Idaho. He says:
Since I was with M. B. Cook until
Utmost the very last, before his brave
payment of the 'kaiscr's kulture,' /
I'm sure it is my duty as well as my
lesire to write this letter to you and
you know as much of the particu-

CROP CONDITIONS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
WARM WEATHER HAS HELPED
GRAIN BUT DRIED UP SOME
OF THE EARLY RANGES

BOISE.-The warm weather of the
last few days has caused a marked
Improvement in crop conditions in tbs
irrigated districts and all vegetation
is making rapid growth. Conditions
in the dry farm sections are not SC
favorable on account of lack of moist
ure, rain being badly needed in many
sections.
Winter wheat, rye, and barley are
now heading generally in all but the
late districts, and the outlook is ex-
c%ellent. Early sown spring wheat is
in the boot and is reported generally
in very good condition, but the late
sown did not terminate we'll and came
up to a poor stand. In the northern
counties, grain fields are being dam
aged somewhat by wire worms and
aphides.
Irrigated pastures and meadows are
now in excellent condition and grow
ing rapidly. Dry farm pastures are
short. Harvesting of the first cut
ting of alfalfa is becoming general.
In some sections the crop was dam
aged by the late frosts and the crop
is generally less than average both
in quality and tonnage. The acreage
is somewhat less than that of 1917.
Lack of rain and the consequent
drying up of the lower range have
caused a general movement of stock
from spring range to summer range.
There is still adequate feed on the
upper range and stock are growing
in some localities. Short
age of forage is threatened later in
some districts unless the drought is
broken.
Fruit that escaped the frosts is
growing nicely, although apples and
orunes are dropping badly in some
orchards, and it is expected that there
will be enough fruit to supply the
home markets. Strawberries and
Early cherries are now being mar
,eted from the Lewiston and Emmett
districts, and early cherries are be-
to ripen in the Boise valley.
Garden and truck crops that were
lot killed outright are making a
apid recovery from frost damage
nd begin to look more promising.
'otatoes are in fair to good condition.

The Washington herald., 1918-02-18

I have said, Il wonder how long they
will live to enjoy those homes"
hope for years and years and
years to come. You don't know how
long, but you will live forever with
God, no matter how long or short
you may live here. Then I become
a joint heir with Jesus Christ. When
there are two joint heirs, each is
understood to own and possess ev-
cry part of the home. Where one
joint heir dies. his interst in the es-
tate does not go to heirs, as is the
case of tenancy in common. But
his part goes to the other man who
Is joint with him in that PROPOSE
ton. Joint heirship with Jesus
Christ means that the believer is
entitled to come into possession of
the whole, or every grace or quail
ity or character possessed by Jesus
Christ. So therefore, when am
joint heir with Jesus Christ,
have got what he has, and he and
I are equal in the proposition. That's
what joint heirship means down
here. 1t isn't like tenancy in COM
mon at all.
So. that's why l am happy, be-
cause l am a Christian and l have
got all that for giving my heart to
Jesus a few years ago.
