that we can do for ourselves. We are

Monies, we are not going to prevent

WAR AIMS ARE MASTER
PIECES

The greatest service which Wood
row Wilson the President has per-
formed has been as the prophet of
international righteousness and good
will, says the Coneregationalist. His
speeches and messages setting forth
Americas reasons for entering the
war and our war aims are master
pieces. They blaze the way for a
new world order, in which, just and
friendly international government
may be established and maintained.
He is helping to prepare the minds of
all nations for the new day in which
every nation, small and great, shall
be secure from aggression and shall
have fair chance to do business and
work out its own destiny, and in
which military outocracy must give
place to free democratic government.
Our allies are recognizing his leader
ship, and the people of Great Britain
and France especially are expressing
hearty approval of allied war aims as
defined by Mr.. Wilson. He. has ex-
pressed with wonderful clarity the
essential demands of the best thought
of our times in a minimum program
for enduring peace. He has made
that our war aim. He has thus i'm
parted an inspiring vision of what we
are fighting for. 1t will help to make
our victory certain and its purposes
secure. In these days of frightful-
ness and destruction our President is
performing a great service in laying
the foundations at last for Christian
civilization.

WAYS OF RAISING MONEY

Prompt and enthusiastic response
to the Governments appeal for sub
scriptions for the Third Liberty Loan
will be increased b ythe statement
made public last week by Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, in which he
declares for policy of supplementing
the loans by increased taxation. His
support of this policy prabably as
sures favorable action by Congress.
Said Mr.. McAdoo: "We are going con-
stantly to have to appeal to the coun-
try for money to carry forward the
war. There are two ways of raising
money: One is taxation, and the other
is bond issues. / believe that fair
equipoise between taxation and bond
issues is the fair way of financing
this war. can say frankly that /

N. A. C. SUMMER SCHOOL
TO OFFER WAR COURSES

Evidence of belief that military
drill and physical training in the
schools Of the state have come to stay,
and that club work among boys and
girls and gardening by their elders
will also enjoy permanency, is seen
here in the announcement by the
Michigan Agriculture college of plans
for special courses this summer to
train teachers in these fields.
One Of the features of the summer
session of the college, which will be-
gin on June "a, will be a course, I'M
der Major p. G. Wrightson, which will
enable teachers to learn military
drill another course, under Chester
l.. Brewer, the man who organized
RAINY sports and the physical training
provram in southern camps last year,
will offer teachers an opportunity to
acquire knowledge of Drawn and
health-building methods; a third
course, in charge of r. c. Lindemann,
will give training for :. community
leadership, particularly in rural dis
tricts, while still fourth course will
take up the subject of gardening.
In addition to these "war courses,
the usual summer work will also be
conducted by the departments of
agriculture, engineering and home
economics.

cious-alrhost criminal. The only
way that Business can finance this
war is for people to go right on pro-
ducing, selling and purchasing things
as in normal times. If every one of
a hundred million persons refrains
from buying shoes, that means one
hundred million less shoes made by
shoemakers. One hundred million
less suits of clothes means that much
less work and wages for weavers and
tailors.
Carry this idea into all lines of pro-
ductive activity and it means that the
whole country must finally go out of
business and all merchandising must
come to standstill..
You can't give less money unless
you can earn money. Instead of put
ting the soft pedal on business, in
stead Of quitting advertising and re-
framing from displaying goods in the
show windows, every legitimate bust
ness enterprise should be speeded up
to the greatest capacity. We can't
all of us go into the manufacture of
munitions. The shell business is i'm
portant, but we also need shoes, and
clothes, and candy, and rugs, and car
pets, and chairs, and watches, and
cutlery, and china, and books. The
more Of these goods we make and sell,
the more money we will have with
which to buy Liberty Bonds and war
saving stamps, and the more we will
have to give to the Red Cross.
Let US cut out the things that de-
stroy the body and degrade the mind.
They cost money, health n d
strength. We have been crowding a
lot Of rubbish through our alimentary
canals and calling it "food"-but we
got no nutriment from it-only dis
ease We surely don't need any
"booze." Using barley and other
food grains to manufacture "slop"
for foolish beings is wasteful and un-
patriotic Some of us can smoke
fewer cigars--but it is well to re-
member that the man who makes
cigars is a wage-earner and he some
times buys Liberty Bonds. A little
sanity and sense and less hectic n.y.
sierra is what we need.
Don't put up the shutters or pull
down the sign. Business must go
right on or we will lose the war-and
then Germany will take up the bust
ness where we left off.

Ellen l.. Edmunds was born In
Yates, Orleans County, New York,
January 10, 1845, ana moved to Or
leans township, Michigan. with her
parents when about eight years old.
She was married to Thomas Murray
of Orleans August 10, 1862, by Rev.
X. ID. Howe, just before Mr.. Murray
left for the southland to serve in the
Union army, and after nearly three
years Of service he returned to her.
They were faithful to each other for
over "a years. He passed away Janu-
airy Is, 1917.
No children ever came to their
home, but Mr.. and Mrs. Murray were
father and mother to her who is now
Mrs. Fred Hawley and to Walter
Clements who lived with them from
the time he was seven years old until
ne was Is, when he was drowned in
Long Lake.
Mrs. Murray was converted to
Christ at the age of 81 and has been
a faithful member of the Methodist
church until her health prevented her
attending.
After a short illness from bronchial
pneumonia she passed away April "a,
1918, at her home, aged 20 years, 3
months, IA days. She leaves two sis
tiers, Mrs. Mary Wilbur of Orleans,
and Mrs. Nettie Easton of Central
Lake, and two brothers, Eugene and
Charles Edmunds, both of Orleans,
besides Mrs. Fred Hawley and fam
lily, and host of friends. A familiar
figure has gone. One we loved has
gone to meet other loved ones. She
has "come with singing unto Zion"
The funeral was held Friday after
noon at the house, conducted by her
pastor, Rev. r. v. Birdsall, and burial
took place in Orleans cemetesy.

Mortality of Michigan. March

There .were ALSO deaths reported
to- the Department of State as having
occurred i'm the State of Michigan
during the month of March, 1918.
This number corresponds to an an

above there were 308 stiilbirths re-
turned as Deaths.
By ages there were 713 deaths OF

ELEMENT OF DISCORD

The Wayne County civic association
are circulating petitions to submit q
constitutional amendment to vote
Of the people requiring all children
from 5 to Is years of age to attend
the public schools. If adopted this
amendment would put parochial and
private schools out of business. It IL
unfortunate to have this element Of
discord brought to the front at time
when there should be but one purpose,
to win the war. In Detroit IL Is impos-
sible to take care Of all the school
children now for full daily sessions,
and IL would take some time to read
just matters If this amendment should
be passed. People who send their
children to religious orA private
schools are bitterly opposed to the
proposed change in the law and IL
does not seem wise or Just to force IL
upon them. The Republican believes
that all schools, Of whatever nature,
however, should be compelled to teach

Sell Hens Gradually

Agriculture again advises farmers to
sell their hens gradually and not to
glut the market Immediately after
April 20, when the law against the
marketing of hens, was removed.
Hens should be sold gradually. This
will stabilize the market and bring
better prices for them. 1t also will
mean more eggs. Every laying hen
at this season produces eggs at far
less cost for feed than during the
winter.

CONFIDENT OF OUTCOME

The opinion of military experts is
practically unanimous that the tide of
battle in France will turn this week.
The Germans are no longer advanc-
ing to the point of breaking the Allies
line; they are endeavoring to estab-
lish themselves on their present lines
with a view either of defense, or to
make further concentrated efforts in
the region of Arras, or in the direc-
ton Of the Paris-Amiens railway. In
the latter region their furious on
slaughts seem to be adequately met
by the French. 1t is generally he
lived that the Allied reserves have
not yet been called upon to defend
any portion Of the line, and are there
fore free for counter stroke. In
general, the ground gained by the
Germans can hardly be taken as q
measure of the situation. The price
paid in the destruction of their effec-
tives is more than compensation. 1t
remains, however, to see whatever
they can cover the remaining few
miles between them and their first
objective. The menace is as. real a.
ever, but both French and British are
increasingly confident Of the outcome.
