Up, with Old Glory, its stars to the

To herald the message from over the
seas,
Shout aloud the glad word, let it echo
ing go
To the heights Of the mountains

Through the length and the breadth
of a war riven earth
Let it tell to all mel of the wonderful
birth. :
Let the tidings re-echo again and
again
Till they reach to all lands and the
depths of the main;
That the mighty have fallen, their
banners are furled,
And a freedom arisen newborn to
the world
Through whose birth, that as one, all
nations will bind
And mankind in each other his broth
er may find.
Unto Him, Dye people, this day of
all days,
To the God whom ve honor, to Him
be all praise!
He has guarded u men on the lantl
on the sea,
He has blessed them and crowen,l
them with victory,
He has given to us, through His pro.n-
Uses sure,
All Of patience in waiting-of faith to
endure.
From the fair sister nations, who
called for our aid,
He has lifted the yoke that upon them
them was laid,
For the kind human hearts who have
answered the call
Of the widow, the orphan, the home

Fer the Joy, o, the Joy in each heart

For u land, for our homes, for our
men far away;
That no more shall the earth by wars
1"ath thores be torn
When a white winged Peace OF its
travii is born
And we know as each fold of our Flag
Is unfurled,
That, with "God in His HEAVIER, all's
well with the world"

REPUBLICAN
RECONSTRUCTION

Washington, Nov. 3O.-The >Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following state
ment from it's Washington Headquar-
ters:
"Hardly less important than our
preparations for war will be The work
of putting the country in readiness to
resume one more the activities OF
peace. In the recent elections the peo-
pie decreed that the task shall be car
ried on under the direction of the Re-
publican party. While it is possible
from point Of numbers for the Dem
ocrats in the Senate and House to en-
act the pending bill providing for the
appointment Of a Reconstruction Com
mittee by the President, it is probable
that Democratic votes "a be solidi-
fed behind such a measure. There are
a few Democrats in each House who
do not yield to the subservance to the
President and who have confidence in
their own ability and the ability Of
their legislative associates to study
and determine upon plans for after
war Reconstruction. The Weeks
Resolution providing for a Joint Con-
gressional Committee composed of an
equal number of members of each Of
the two political parties will more
likely be adopted.
"But even if the rartisans of the
President should prevail and a Dem
ocratic Committee on Reconstruction
should be appointed, there would be
little danger of the enactment of any
unwise legislation such a Committee
might recommend. The Republicans
will assume control of Congress on
March 4th and it is not likely that
much reconstruction will be enacted
before that time.
ain view of the vast importance of
the reconstruction problems that con-
front the nation, it is particularly for
tunate that a majority of each House
of the next Congress will be Republi-
IAN. Under the sh1ude management of
a Reconstruction Commission made
up of plant political henchmen Of the
Administration, masquerading as in
dustrial and economical experts, sup
ported by a subservient Democratic
Congress, Mr.. Wilson would have been
able to put upon the statute books leg

s0RcERERs BURNED AT STAKE
Custom of an Early Age When Thou sands Of. Unfortunate Students
 Were Put to Death.

Alchemists often believed that by deep thought they could find a way to turn base metals into gold. hut al- chemy itself was much deeper and broader than this. according to writ CT. It was supposed at this time that there were seven heavenly bodies the sun. moon. Mars. Mercury. Venus. Jupiter and Saturn--and seven metals gold. silver. iron. mercury, copper, tin and lead. There were also seven days in n week and seven colors in q rainbow. There were twelve signs in the zodiac. twelve months in the year. twelve precious stones. and twelve parts to the body. It seemed to the alchemists that there must be some hidden connection between these things of nature. and in trying to find 1t they spent much time In watching the sky and in bending over their crucibles and retorts.
 During an age when superstition WAS rife such nocturnal activities could not fail to arouse suspicion. and to he accused of being a sorcerer was generally followed ny burning nt the stake. Many thousands of such nn- fortunate students were put tU death during these dark centuries. but in spite of the dangers men secretly studied alchemy.

 BOOST FOOD OUTPUT

MANILA, Feb. 1.-To enable the Philippine islands to play their part in saving the world from the pinch of hunger, the Philippine congress has passed hill through both houses au thorizing the appointment of an ad ministrator to take charge of cam paign fort he stimulation of food pro duction. Compulsory labor is one of the means the Philippine secretary of agriculture is authorized to adopt. if necessary.
 In this connection, the long expect ed bill to permit the importation Of Chinese laborerS has been introduced in congress. It provides that they shall be allowed to remain in this country only five years and may not acquire any property during this per iOd of contract. At the end of five years they will be returned by the government to the country whence they came.
 Strong opposition to this bill is ex- pected from the labir interests. If it is approved. it must go to the con- gress of the United States for final approval. since the Philippine con- gress is not authorized to act alone on immigration questions.
 Another bill is under consideration compelling the registration of all able bodied men who are without work Municipal governments are empow- cred to offer them work of some sort and. if they refuse, to send them to jail.
 There is also proposed measure enabling the government to fix the prices of all food products and invest ing the secretary of commerce and communications with the powers of dictator in this matter. He will seize all business connected with the sale of food stuffs that is being run at an exorbitant profit.
 It is expected that, in some form both the stimulation of food produc- tion and the regulation of food prices will surely become a law. In each case the regulation will continue in force till year after the war.

WHY CORN IS NOT SENT ABROAD Food Commissioner Says That Euro. pean People are not Prepared
 for Corn Bread

Since Americans are asked to con- serve wheat and use corn in order to furnish the Allies with wheat, the question naturally arises why can not European countries eat corn meal bread as we'll as Americans. This Is explained in a statement sent Federal Food Administrator Royal A. Gun nison. for Alaska. by Herbert Hoov- CT. as follows:
 Why don't we ship corn to Europe and eat wheat in America?
 The United States Food Admins tration has been answering that ques- tion for the past six months.
 In the first place the question im- plies an untruth-we are shipping corn to Europe. We are shipping just as much as those people over there are prepared to utilize.
 Except in Italy there are few mills in Europe prepared to grind corn.
 People in Europe are not familiar with corn. Not only are they not prepared to grind it, but the people in the homes do not know how to use it. It would take months and months to teach them. It Is far sim pier and far quicker to send them wheat than to undertake an educa- tional campaign that would acquaint them with corn usage.
 All of the European countries are using corn to the greatest extent of their power. In none of the allied lands caa All-wheat bread be baked. An aamiItnre of at least 20 per eeh ht

To the Members of the Baptist Con.
gregation: The ban is on public ser
vices again. This is to stop the con
tagion of disease Vastly more seri
Gus is the contagion Of sin. Would
that people were more anxious about
stopping that. While we cannot meet
in public service together will you
not do what you car in other ways:
Will you not give yourselves in your
homes to special prayer? The times
ca. for prayer. Will you not give the
time we usually spend in church &c
reading and studying your Bibles? The
times call for a knowledge of Gods
Word. You can get acquainted with
the Gospel of Matthew SO that the
coming sermons will mean more. We
can make these times of halted work
most profitable if we will. Will you
do it? believe you will. Take care
of your health, but do not be afraid
