Woman's After-War Work.

Mary Boazman writes as follows in
the Woman et Home, London:
"At the end Of the war many women
will be engaged in vocations once sa-
cred to men. Some Of these are prob
ably unsuited to them, but in Others
they will continue to the advantage
Of themselves and society. The time
is surely ripe for a proper division Of
the various employments between the
two sexes to end the fierce competi-
ton prevailing before the increase to
the army. For instance, waiting at
table and the teaching Of young chill
dren are tasks more adapted to wom-
en- than to men, and might well be-
come their monopoly. It Is clearly
wiser to prepare for the numbers OF
women who wiz have to be provided
for in the future in systematic fash
ion, than to leave the matter to settle
itself in the haphazard way which
breeds confusion and strife"

NEGRO SOLDIER RELEASED.

This is an age of preparation and
not or noise or show. The much her
aided attempt to lynch the Negro SOL
dier proved to be more scare than
reality, because upon demand for the
release of the soldier by Capt. Lee. the
suspected soldier was released. Some
three or four soldiers had been sus-
pected and released because of insult
ficiency Of the evidence. Had this oc-
currence been in the South already
some Negro soldier would have been
lynched, but as it is, no one is not even
now arrested. We wonder where was
our local N. A. A. C. P. when the cry
of distress went out?

If some of our ministers could have
read the strong editorial | n the
Wichita paper about them patroniz-
ing their own places and professional
men it might do some good for the
beginning of the year. Denver has
two dentists, two lawyers, two tailors,
several cleaning establishments, one
grocery store, one shoe repair shop,
many barber shops. two drug stores,
many restaurants and cafes, two no.
tells, two printing Offices, two news
papers, several churches and religious
bodies and we can see no reason why
other businesses of the Anglo-Saxon
are patron;zed when we have the same
among ourselves? Watch these race
men and prove their words by their
deeds.

WHAT DEAFIELD's GOING TO BE.

I'm not saying nothing, child
I'm just waiting to see
What that little place out yonder,
Called Dearfield, is going to be.
l remember when, hun, Just one house
Stood out in the sage,
And nobody could make me b'lieve
All this was going to be-
Why, now the big folks crowding in,
That cuts the room for me;
l expect to lay right with them, Steve,
Because Dearfield's going to be.
I'll tell you, bud, it's nip and tuck,
Be worse than Calvarie;
Before you move me away from here
Where Dearfield's going to be.
That little white painted house up
there,
Called Dearfeld School,
Is spreading out that way which
shows
That Dearfield's going to be.
There's Houston's Store and Post
Office,
And dwelling house make two
Have gone up and don't you know
Old Dearfield's going to be.
You'd better go to the Land Office
And pay your filing fee,
So you can get a home out there
Where Dearfield's going to be.
You ought to ride out through the
colony,
And then you will agree,
That this isn't got up may be so,
But Dearfield's going to be.
Now II you want to know some more
Ask God and Rev. McCully,
For they're the only ones can tell
What DearfieId's going to be.

Guide us in duty. Lead Thou the way.

quished. But the cause Of righteous.
ness will win in the end.
We follow u leader who has never
been beaten. He came into this world
to destroy the power of sin. 1t was
gigantic struggle, and at first he
seemed to be baffled. Looked at from
the human point of view his death
was a failure; but it was in reality
victory. By it he vanquished sin
and death.
Through all his earthly life he was
a victor. He conquered disease; he
ruled the forces of nature; he cast
out evil spirits; he delivered men from
the power Of evil. Never once did he
go down to defeat. The work Of con-
quest which he began upon earth he Is
now carrying on with greater power.
The power by which Christ conquers

conquers by the power Of truth and
love. His weapon Of conquest is the
cross

Is represented as making lone sacri-

down at Gods right hand, from
hencefOrth expecting until his enemies

sin. He knew Of no greater power
than the cross. 1t was the highest
revelation of divine suffering, redeem.

er unto salvation can be brought to
bear upon the hearts OF men. It Is
Gods utmost.
This is the weapon which we today
