Count EhrenSwoerd stated that the
sentiment of Sweden for the entente

American eXpeditionary forces and that
as far back as the time Of Lafayette

A Soldiers Mother

Dear Household: 1t hasn't been so
long since 1 last vitited our dear page,
come again till 1 thought I'd have writ
ten before now. But as we all know
that time steals away, especially with
busy mother, but here are my thanks
to you all for your encouraging words.
Especially do l want to thank our dear
editor for the many encouraging words
for myself and son, who is serving his
country. thought so much OF her
piece that 1 clipped it and sent it, to-
gether with my letter to him. And
what do you think he said? The first
time he came home he wanted to know
what Mrs. Thomas knew about him, and
how she knew he was working for In
Gle Sam; had 1 been telling her? 1
said, Son, you know l have always
told you that ones reputation is known
farther than the person is, and that a
good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches and this is proof enough,
isn't it?'' And he said he guessed it
is. He is now at Camp Jackson, Co
lumbia, S. c., and says he is ready any
time to go overseas if 1t is necessary.
1 want to speak word of warning
to all the mothers of sons that are
them come and go away and leave you
crying. That will make them heart
sick. When he first went, volunteer,
only. nineteen years of age, he didn't
want to come home, for fear he would
have to leave us crying. OF course,
some of his friends may cry when he
leaves out you KNOW lie can pear IndL
better than for papa and mamma to
cry. And he's yet got to see us shed
our first tears about this. So now.
when he leaves, he doesn't mind coming
to mamma for the farewell hug and
kiss All the other mothers can do it
as well as I can, for I'm only n weak
woman, just trusting God that's all. I'm
afraid I've taken too much space. but
[ hope this will help some poor broken
hearted mother.
Mrs. Thomas, I'm so glad you found
your mother so much improved. May
she be spared to you many more years,
for il seems TO me that if | were to
lose my parents, even with my own
little family, that life wouldn't be worth
while. Let us do our best, ever look
ing to Him who doeth all things we'll. .

EARLY MEETINGOF
PEACE CONFERENCE
HARDLY PROBABLE
BY PRED s. FERGUSON

PARIS, Nov. 12.-An early peace con-
ference is not expected. 1t will be nee
essary for the inter-allied conference
first to organize. stabilize and confed-
crate the baby democracies rising from
the wreck of Observation-Disclosures
feudalism.
Although none OF the allied confer
ees can be quoted, privately they laud
President Wilson's political offensive,
characterizing IL as comparable to
Foch'S military successes.
The impression is widespread that
MIR. Wilson will play the most impor-
tant role in the characterization of the
European nations whose, aspirations he
has god-fathered.
Germany's challenge to the allied po-
litical front failed as completely as
it's effort of last July to break the mill
itary front. Unanimous agreement on
the armistice terms at Versailles con-
fronted Germany with a diplomatic
Chateau Thierry, beyond which it was
impossible to pass.

Food for Thought

Dear Household: Since l wrote you
before L have registered. and am eX-
pecting to be classified for war service
pretty soon, ] am very glad indeed 70
see our people displaying so muGh 10y
atty to their neighbors across the ocean.
We have responded so nobly to every
call. No one can doubt the generosity
and patriotism of the American people
Yet, with all these war expenses, we are
prone to be a wasteful nation. 1t seems
that we will not be as humble as we
should be until we have been Invested
of our surplus wealth. Reading historE
and the Bible shows that people are
more humble when they are not enjoy
ing so much prosperity. have observed
that when one nation is in the full bloom
of prosperity there is another in dis
tress that could use all the surplus there
is to spare. God blesses us with pros
perity, and He also brings along with
the prosperity an opportunity to help
others less fortunate. SO If a nation
or an individual forgets to be charitable
in times of plenty, God, in some way or
another, will cause something to happen
let US remember that God has place in
this war. and so have you. If you fail
your duties to perform, then you are a
Stacker.
In speaking of slackers, let us no1-
pass il up as something too small to
attract our attention. Some time ago
noticed in a paper where the government
had sent out a warning to the boards
ana 10 the DOCTORS lldl 100 MANY Oh the
boys were being sent to the camps who
were not physically able for war serv-
ices, that their being sent there was
due to the carelesSness of the doctors.
The thought that struck me 50 force
ably was: If a doctor will knowingly
allow r young man go to camps when
physically unfit, such doctor allows
others to remain at home who ought
TO go to the front. So if there are any
Young men out of service who ought to
be there, don't blame the government
with it; blame the doctors and the
boards Sometimes parents are as much

there be any, as are the boys. A Chris
tian heart and a Stacker mind cannot
dwell in the same body. This is equally
applicable to parents as well as to
sons. Some parents are gain enough to

Little of Importance has transplred
during the past week In the local real
estate market. This Is no doubt due
in a great extent to the Thanksgiving
holiday. which has made itself the
more felt by the fact that there Is a
recognized slump In the real estate
market as far as this city is concern
ed.
However. the real estate men have
q great many things in their favor
and before long things should be
showing a boom. This boom need
not be expected entirely in the privass
dwelling market, but IN furnishing
large tracts OF fand and factories for
industries.
Since the close of the war, many
requests have been received IN this
city by the Board OF Trade for facto-
ries or land for some large concerns
who wish to open factories here. The
most logical men in the city to bring
these concerns here are the real estate
men. and some sort of an ~organiza-
ton should be formed which would
be able to furnish the manufacturers
, who desire to come here with plants,
the necessary land or buildings.
The people employed in these plants
will want homes, and not only will
the real estate men by aiding the
plants to come here sell large tracts
OF land. but will also be opening up
a ready market for private dwellings
through the employees.
Only one sale has been reported
during the past week. 1t follows:
