Duncan Miller asked the minister Of
national service, says the London
Times, whether his attention has been
called TO the number Of advertisements
for servants In households OF one, two
or three persons, where seven to ten
indoor servants are already kept, and
whether he proposes to limit the num-
Der of indoor servants employed In
each household. The minister OF ma
tional service replied that he had al
ready pointed out how essential it is,
In the national interest, that no per-
son should employ more servants than
are absolutely necessary. The min
lister trusts that the awakened con-
sciences Of those who have in this
respect failed to appreciate their duty
win provide an immediate and sufl-
Client remedy. II not, he will tell his
plan in the general statement on man
power.

Al Song of Friendship

There's a world Of tender sweetness
in the name of friendship true
And the kind of gentle service for
each other that we do.
When we bide through JOY and sorrow
by the side of those we love,
And in acts of faith and gladness
loyalty we ever prove.
Between friends an understanding
lies like sunshine after rain,
That will soften eevry heartache and
will lift our joy again
To the wondrous, happy moments we
have known so well,
When the world was lost in beauty
and the magic of it's spell.
Faces of our friends-they cheer us
after absence like a star
Shining through the night in splen-
dor to the valley where we are;
And when once our faith is given,
nothing, whatsoe'er it be,
Can blot out that sweet affection or
the old time loyalty. s

A Plea for the Red Star Society

The motor truck is doing it's share
of the work "over there" They are
using it where it can be used, but
only horses or mules can be used for
bringing up the guns and supplies TO
the trenches and camps. If you could
see them shot to pieces and the look
in their eyes you would know that
there is something more than spark
of life; you would know that the army
horse dying for its country is entitled
to all we can give it, and that means
bandages, blankets and shelter tents.
So remember who was born in a
stable, and when 20 uare asked to
give what you can, if it is only a
dime, give it-Hanson Brooks in the
Miami Herald.
Mrs. B. T. Perdue requests all those
who care to donate to the Red Star
fund, to take the money to her or
phone and she will gladly call for it.
