 T don't know exactly what they use" replied the grandson. Most everything I guess. Isn't it the great stuff though? It's got the punch, I tell you!''
 'Pll tell you how I size the thing up," continued grandpa. "A lot of the young fellows who used to play in the bands have gone to the front, and they have had to put substitutors in their places, and these substitutors picked up to fill the places of the reg ular tooters don't toot quite so well, and so the foxy bandmasters have introduced jazz into the band to drown out the mistakes, much as the chefs are accustomed to smother codfish with onions.
 Just as long as the jazz player is on the. job with his jazz it doesn't make any difference if some of the substitutors do get off on the wrong foot. Ip fact, doubt whether it makes any difference if one of the players

Britain, and from that time to this the Fourth of July has been celebrated in America and by Americans every where as the most sacred day in their calendar"
 And on that day the English and tho American flags blended every where together from the vendors carts in London to Buckingham pal ace. Three hundred American sol- diers were the guests of London and they wore tiny flags upon their tunics and British wreaths around their slouch hats.
 The Times says: Vast multitudes of the people could not go to the pub lie meetings at Westminster or the baseball match at Chelssa. or could not even shake the hand of an Amer ican soldier or sailor. But they were all able to enter into the spirit of the day. and that spirit cannot fail to Iihave cemented the friendship between the two nations For London. as one of the speakers said yesterday, it was not so much Independence Day as i Interdependence Day."

IT MAKES US FEEL PROUD.

The American soldiers at the front make Us feel proud of them: and in our elee we should bear in mind that in our cooperation with them we should give them occasion to feel proud of us.
 They have the great self sacrificing task ard they have by their conduct won the praise of the allies and wrung From their foes an acknowledgment Of their valor and skill
 They walk into battle like crusaders the Germans say. imbuei with the spirit tha: they are engaged in bat He in behalf of humanity, and by theiI nerve and their daring and their faitt they surprise the battle-worn and battle-wary veterans whom they ar, defeating.
 We do not come to surrender, they tell the Germans. "but to kill ol be killed They meet the desperatt issue with desperate words; and le ps following their example meet the demands made upon us with the same nnhesitating and resolute spirit.

 Not meeting promptly the require nents to support our army at the 9ont would be a weakness which you'd create glee in Berlin. z Our resources are three times as great as those of Germany and her debt now is 30 billion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Indifference.

Mir Editor: There are scores of proverbs and axions that deal with interference but probably the most pertinent is supplied by a Chinese writer of ancient days. It reads:
 He who interferes destroys his own purpose"
 Many times in life we meet per- sons who do this continually. Their own zeal to right another, or to bend brothers will defeats the object they seek to attain
 All students of human nature know that stuhborness of obstinac1 are im- mediately aroused by interference. And so strong are the opposing traits that common sense seldom gains suf- ficient laeway to cause compromise.
 There are so many answers to the quest, on: Am l my brother's keeper" that it. would be contrary to nature to reconcile them. No legal condition of; life justifies interference in the rights or privileges of another..If per sons so far forget the obligations they owe to mankind and it's Creator, ther they have voluntarily relinquished their rights and privileges; and it is not only the intent but also the duty of some recognized power to interfere and halt the trespass. But there ars so many times when interference k not justified, yet is used in disguise Such disguise usually takes the form of anonymous letters or unfoundet reports; often the cloak of advice il used.
 Advice is the cheapest of all commo dities, some say vet it is the mos precious when shorn of interference ant based on fellowship.
 There would be slight need of inter l ference in any of lifes ph2 ses did me- and women realize that God reserve l Himself the right to control the live of His creatures. Would they but sub init to His supremacy and be satis fled to let Him work out this univers and it's population according to tn scheme He conceived at it's creatto then they could "cease from troublin and let the weary be at resi- l Until human understanding reacha the plane of the Divine word, it should be cautious and humble enoug to permit Jehovah to run His own ma chinery without it's puny interference

HOW 70 SAVE LIVES.

Americas strength may be depend ed upon to weaken the force of the enemies of freedom upon the front trenches in France.
 In nine months last year the Amer ican people by their self denial saved 50 million bushels of wheat which was sent abroad to support the allies. This wheat was worth 15o millions and that helps the government just so much in support of the war.
 What the people are doing to in crease the products of the country by gardening. and also by limiting them selves in the use of meat. wheat and sugar, is helping win the war not only because it is furnishing sustenance and funds. but because it is show ing a unity of endeavor not to be easily overcome
 This united front of great nation puts a check upon the arder of the foe-it tends to shorten the var which will reduce the number of killed and wounded in the conflict
 The organized forces at home re- fleet the will, the strength, the spirit of the people to our own forces and to the foe. and is as dsheartening to the enemy as it is inspiring to the brave men who represent gs in the field.
