GOD BLESS SUCH
A CHEERFUL GIvER

This morning lady who had been
overlooked by the United War Work
committee sent her little boy to the
Star Office with a note and check
for SO, saying she had been trying
to communicate with her husband,
who is a travelling man, but had fail
ed to locate him and the week was
almost gone. She sent the check with
an apology that it was not larger
but was all she had, and her prayers
for the good of the work, and stated
that as soon as her husband returned,
they would try to give more. This
ten dollars, as we know, means more
to this family than any one Of the
largest subscriptions mean to their
givers.
Some people will look up the COM
mittee if they do not get their cards.
Others, only a few, bowever. will
have to be chloroformed have the
money removed with instruments.

Home Is Where the Boy Is In

and while we ate we talked of the boy who is
over there.
81 wonder if he is cold tonight" the mother
said. Il wonder if he has place to warm him-
self and dry his clothes; and something good to
eat"
''What wouldn't give to be with him." she
said and we silent, knowing her heart.
But | thought of the Soldiers of Friendliness
who that very ni~ht would crawl out across No
Mans Land to take chocolate and hot coffee to
that boy.
Of the huts with their warm fires burning; of
the great lecturers and preachers and actors and
motion pictures that are there.
And | thought to myself; There is diff
ference between this and every other war For
when the boys have marched away before, the
influence of their homes has stopped at the front
gate and could 60 no farther.
But in this war it follows the hag across the
ocean, over the shell torn battle land, straight
up to the 'front.' line trenches.
Home is where the boy is IN this war, From
every town and village the lines of helpfulness
run out
And no boy leaves his home behind him:
step by step it. travels with him, financed by the
folks behind him-a token Of their love.

GEESE ARE HUNTED
 WITH SHRAPNEL GUN
Auburn Citizen)

Hunting geese with shrapnel is a sport which a member of one reserve officers training camp writes to an Auburn hunter, and judging from what he writes he probably will not be beat en by any of the Auburn sportsmen. The tale was written by an Auburn man 10 an Auburn hunter, and judging from the story, it must not be all hard work at the training camp.
 That portion of the letter which is for the general public is the following: I've got a hunting story for you that I don't think you will be able to beat for some time. This morning we were having a battery firing out over the lake when the major, who was con- ducting the firing. noticed that twice a flock of geese flew between us and the targets which were out in the lake. The next time he saw a flock coming he gave the order to fire. which case meant to salvo, or one discharge of each of the four pieces in the battery. I think we got two of them. which is not so remarkable; but l don't think anybody ever hunted geese before with shrapnel from three inch field pieces at a range of 2.200 yards. Of course we were actually firing at the targets, but I shall always think the major was thinking more about those geese

LOWER EXEMPTION
 ON GROSS INCOME
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-Congres- sional leaders today held up their plans for a definite recess or ad- journment over the November elections until the new revenue bill and the seven billion dollar army emergency appropriation measures take more definite form.
 The senate was not in session but leaders in the house agreed to put into effect an informal recess by meeting and adiourning each day until october IA, when the army appropriation meas ure is 10 be reported by, the military committee.
 Senate leaders hoped to put into effect some similar arrangements.
 Whether congress will adjourn over the elections admittedly depends upon the speed made by the senate finance committee in completing the revision of the house draft of the revenue bill. The committee speeded up its work today meeting earlier than here tofore and remaining in session until d later hour.
 The finance committee today adopted an amendment requirin~ all single per sons with a gross income of S10OO Ind married persons whose gross income IS & 900 to file income tax returns.
