Financing Rest Room.
In financing rest room two items Of
expense are to be considered-initial
cost Of furnishing and the annual cost
of maintenance. A rest room may be
financed wholly or partly by the wom-
ems organizations until arrangements
are made to meet the expenses through
public appropriations. 1t may be
financed through town or county ap-
propriations or by private individuals,
or by any Of these in combination.
Usually the permanently established
rest room is located at the town hall
or county courthouse since appropria-
tions can be made annually for the
maintenance of such rooms from pub
lie funds. When financed by private
individuals the money Is either a be-
quest or gift. or the money spent for
the rest room Is considered by the mer-
chants as bringing returns in increased
trade. In such cases there II no ex-
pense to the women making use Of the
room and the value of the cooperation
Of women's organizations lies In their
making known the location of the
room and thus insuring more general
use Of 1t.

ss~'s>SSs<
The average man of those who
have kept mp with current events dur
ing the last few years will tell you
that Germany's colossal plan Is 40
years old. AS a matter Of fact. the
seeds Of 1t were sown more than
dozen times 40 years ago. The spirit
of militarism and conquest and might
is-right Is as old as the Teutonic war
party, which is as old rs Germany it.
self. The majority Of the other ma
tions saw plenty of signs Of the mon
ster, for the war lords were brng-
CARTS. and they could not refrain from
boasting of their scheme. The won
der of all Is that these other nations,
the United States included, have not
been taking preparatory and defensive
measures for several decades.
The ultimate aim of the plan was,
of course, the complete control and
kulturization of the world. 1t was
born of brains rendered british
through the over and over intermarry-
ing of an autocracy that was barba-
rian to begin with. A little like
moon-calf, 1t was at the outset, but Its
morally befuddled parents fostered 1t
until they actually believed 1t pos
sessed rare virtues; and they inocu-
lated the people With its germs until
the people themselves fell for 1t.
Human Nature Left Out.
So FAR this plan has failed. however
narrowly, for the simple reason that
1t did not include reckoning with
the human nature that God made. The
soldiermen Of other nations are in the
long run stronger than the cast-in-the-
mold iron soldiers of Germany. 1t is
the thorough organization Of the Ger
man armies that has been the chief
difficulty of the entente allies. Per
haps the greatest strength Of the plan
itself, however, lay in the very stu
pendousness of 1t. Few would be-
lieve that any one nation would dare
attempt to enslave the rest Of the
world. Half the rest Of the world does
not realize it yet. 1t Is too big for
their imaginations. Their imagina-
tions are. naturally, peace-time.
This is the main trouble with us
here in America. So many of us will
not see what we are facing or what
we are fighting for. If we did see, the
success of the Liberty Loan and the
Red Cross drives, the food-saving and
the fuei-saving campaigns. would be
much greater. It's Of no use now to
harp that our administration leaders
should have seen the signs Of the times
several years ago; 1t kills no German

ington for having been in the past
not statesmen, but politicians serving
their own instead of their country's in,

lage, town or county authorities, by
business corporations operating pri-
vate markets, and by individual mer-
chants. Where farm women's organi-
cations have been interested in estab-
fishing rest rooms, local farm women's
clubs have been able to arouse the nec-
essary community interest in the need
for rest rooms to insure their financial
support This has been done through
cooperating with other local farm
women's clubs, with organizations of
women In town, with civic leagues, and
with chambers Of commerce, and with
county agents.
Room In Oklahoma.
In cooperating with other clubs in
establishing a rest room any local farm
women's club may take the initiative.
A rest room was established in an Okla
homa town through the cooperation of
four women's rural clubs. A committee
from the club interviewed the business
men of the city, but met with little en-
couragement. They were told that rest
rooms had been tried and were fail

rooms already, but that they were not
used by the country people. After
three weeks Of effort a member of the
committee learned of a vacant room In
the courthouse that could be used for
a rest room If permission were obtained
from the county commissioners. Mem
bers Of the committee and their friends
called upon eaeh of the commissioners
to request the e9uSe Of the room and to
ask his advice. as to how to proceed.
AZ a result the matter was brought
formally before the commissioners ct
their next meeting and the room placed
at the disposal Of the members Of
these organizations. f
The furnishings Of a well-equipped
rest room should be simple, comfort
able and durable. As an example Of

he didn't Perhaps she was right
One day she made the often-re-
peated statement, and he did not
reply. She looked into his eyes;
they were those of a stranger. She
had suggested the idea to him so
constantly, that at last he believed
it. She was perfectly correct; he
did not love her.
They parted. She thought Fate
was very cruel to her, but in
reality she had been her own fate.
She sewed the seeds so we'll that
they took root and grew rapidly
after the manner of seeds. She
had no one to blame but herself.
Story No. 2.
This is the second story:
A mother had a son who was In
clined to be hayward. She was
very ambitious for him, and In
the hope OF making him see the
error Of his ways she constantly
harangued him on the subject of
his bad conduct and reproached
him for ingratitude. His past
transgressions were dragged I'D
and rehearsed. The BLACKLIST pro-
phecies were made in regard to his
future. The picture OF a disreput-
able career was held before him
until be achieved 1t.
Finally. he left home, and became
associated with some one who saw
the real good IN him and endeavor-
ed to bring II out by praise and
encouragement and by stimulating
his ambition. There was a COM
plete and lasting change in the
boy. All he needed was the sun
shine Of appreciation and apprecia-
ton.

stories Is, that II bad seed can be
thus sown and produce the results

Of good seed.
