The world is striving to reach
higher and nobler ideals. Men
and women are learning that in
their immediate locality are the
little deeds of service to perform
that helps to put new hope in
some life, and the call of human.
ity is gaining the ascendancy
over the call of business. The
example of service that the war
is teaching has moved US up al
least a century in the new ideals.
The magnificent sacrifices of the
soldier boys in offering their
lives for the good of the human
race, the noble men and women
who are giving their time and
means to the war for freedom,
the voluntary sacrifices that The
people are making, are hopeful
and reassuring indications, anC
bring out more conspicuously tn,
occasional instances of the mer
whose love for gain has shut on
the glory of the vision of tn,
new civilization. And when tn,
boys come home the names of al
who have sought to coin thei
sacrifices into money will be writ
ten large on the roll of slackers
! and deserve the contempt of a
mankind.

Caesars Wife Must Be
Above Suspicion.
FALSE charges were urged
! against the wife of Julias
Caesar by his enemies, and not
withstanding the fact that she
was able to prove that she was
guiltless, Caesar put her away
saying: Caesars wife must be
above suspicion. " She must not
only be pure, but her conduct
must be such that no other inter-
probation could be put upon it.
Caesar was the ruler of Rome
and as such felt that he must not
fall, or let his family fall, below
the high ideals of the Roman en-
pire. There must be no conduct
or associations that would give
cause for suspicion, for the stand
ard of Caesars household must
be the example of Rome.

Sometimes we hear the plain
tive cry from discouraged church
members: II wonder what

Perhaps the church's entire

No church that holds men and
women on its membership roll

FARMERS URGED To
BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Must Inconvenience Himself II His
Country Needs Him.

An article recently published In
some papers Of the Central West gave
an erroneous impression as TO the part
the farmer should play in financing
the great struggle for liberty ant
world freedom. II suggested that the
farmer should not borrow money with
which to buy Liberty Bonds-that he
should not Inconvenience himself In
lending financial support at this criti
cal time in the history OF the nation.
This Is no time TO think OF incon-
venience at home. II Inconvenience
is TO be the basis of thought. let the
American farmer consider first the in
convenience OF the>boys on the firing
line In France. AT this particular time
it is up to all Americans to make sac
rifices. This is no time TO think OF
comfortable financial circumstances
and freedom from inconvenience. The
government Is at a great deal OF In
convenience. II the boys at the blaz-
ing, thunderous front are standing In
muddy trenches lodging shell splin-
tiers and Hun bullets and facing the
terrible gas attacks. there Is no rea-
son why the farmer at home should
not extend himself TO help out.
Don't think of inconvenience. Think
OF the inconvenience and danger OF
your son. or your neighbor's son. At
the front. and buy Liberty Bonds TO
the limit. Stretch your financial sys-
tenn to the breaking point. IL need be.
10 support your government and the
hcys who are actually engaged In the
business of fighting your fight
If you haven't the money al hand
10 do your full duty toward the great
cause. go out and borrow II from your
bank-borrow so that you may buy
bonds until II hurts" Your financial
support may be a measure OF your
practical patriotism-and the nation
needs practical patriots at this critical
period.

oily Of success.
