And 80 this is the answer to my
friend and to other friends Of mine:
Never be afraid to grasp at happi-
ness becauseatsmay not last. For hap
piness is as Beautiful as the flowers
Of spring and the sky Of summer and
the vivid leaves of, autumn. And even
though it might not last, happiness is
too beautiful to pass by with never a
glance. III
And then, as the philosopher said,
and as we know, don't be sure, as you
take your chance at happiness, that it
will not stay. Look around your circle
of friends, look at your business asso-
ciates, look at the casual crowds that
you pass every day and you'll see that
the average of happy faces is rather
high. You'll see more smiles, I think,
than frowns; more merry faces than
sad ones!
Don't be afraid to take a chance at
happiness because you fear that it is
too beautiful to last. Take your
chance, instead, arguing that happiness
Is too beautiful not to rastI

We were coming home from a dinner
party together, my friend and I. 1t
was late at night and rather rainy,
and as W. sat together in the damp,
almost empty trolley car, my friend
spoke very suddenly and seriously,
writes Margaret e. Sangster in the
Christian Herald.
"Just now" she said, 1--WE a chance
to be very happy. But I'm almost
afraid to take It'll"
The rain beat, in q futile manner,
against the car windows. I listened to
1t for a moment before I spoke.
e"Why" I questioned at last-"why
are you afraid to take your chance-to
be happy"
Because" answered my friend, and
her eyes looked far away-past the car
and the rain, even-'because I'm
afraid that it won't last"
When it is autumn, and the leaves
are crimson and g%old-colored and very
beautiful. we. know, even as we admire
them. that they will be brown and
withered some day. But that does not
keep us from loving their glorious COL
Ors.
It's like that, too, with flowers, and
springtime, and the blue sky of sum-
mer. We know that the flowers will
fade away and that springtime will go
and that there will be winter storm
clouds where there were once sparkles

An effort will be made to increase this

possible. This can only be done by
the united effort and f%aithfulness of

"Back to the Soil Dope"

There is in the opinion of the
writer sufficient of a local interest in
the following letter, taken from the
st. Paul Dispatch to warrant it's re-
production in these columns, especial
ly as the writer is we'll known to a
large number of readers:
This'back to the soil" agitation is
amusing. After several years of Sc
rious effort on the part of the press
in general, to awaken that inherent
something" which we are supposed
to have come to US from our primitive
ancestry, do you notice much of an
exodus from the city to the farm ?
Not very noticeable is it? The
propaganda has evidently fallen flat,
the high cost of living in the cities
Notwithstanding, while the farmer is
supposedly rolling in money at the
prices he is receiving for his products.
Even this inducement does not suffice
to draw people out of the cities on
to the farms. No, indeed. You
couldn't drive them to the farm with
a hickory club. There must be a
reason. There is, and it is we'll
known by everybody, ven the writer
of this "back to the soil" dope. Is
there a remedy? Yes, a very sim
pie one. Just make f life on the
farm r~emunerative enough, SO that the
farmer can afford to provide the CON
veniences for his family that are to
be found in the town and city home,
and put up suitable buildings, with
labor saving appliances to alleviate
the drudgery on the farm that drives
people from it. Keep that in mind
and the problem solves itself. Give
the farmer and the farmers wife
(don't forget herr the same hours
of labor, with as good compensation
as that received by their city cousins,
allowing them time for recreation and
amusement as enjoyed by city DWELL
ers. Not until then is it fair to ex-
pect people to pay much attention to
the "inherent drawing to the SOIL.
The majority lives in cities and
expects their country cousins to feed
them at a minimum price. In other
words, they would have the farmer
receive as compensation for his la.
Dor, and that Of his family, just
enough to keep bodv and soul to-
gether, at the same time expecting
him, his wife, and everybody about
the place capable of todd]ing around,
to be cup and doing" from four
o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock
at night. That is the crux of the
situation. The time has come when
the farmer must receive his share O.

is made on your part. Did you ever
stop to consider just what the Red
Cross is doing? 1t is not only supply
ing the soldiers in the environments
with sweaters, stockings etc., but
is going with them across the water
and supplying these same things.
Going with them into the very front
of the battle, into the very first line
of the trenches and giving first aid to
the sick and the wounded. 1t takes
them on the s%tretchers to the Red
Cross ambulances; takes them to the
various Red Cross hospitals. 1t
supplies doctors, nurses and hospitals.
In fact looks after them all the way
through. There are a thousand differ.
ent comforts the Red Cross renders
that will never be recorded. They
are too numerous to keep tab on. . 1t
was the Red Cross, both American
and English, That was "Johnny on the
spot" when the survivors of the
Tuscania reached the coast of Ireland.
The survivors were given medical and
hospital care and reclothed by the Red
Cross. Our wi boys might easily
have been these survivors. How
would you feel about it if you had
Withheld your money from this work?
Because that your age or sex is
such that you are not included in the
selective draft does not relieve you of
responsibility? You know that it
does not. Apart from the question
of duty to country or patriotism just
look at this question from a view
point of business. From a business
viewpoint just what would it mean
in dollars and cents if you had to
go to war. Will you not give a
small part of this loss, which you
have not sustained to those who
have sustained it? Many of our
own boys from Langdon gave up good
positions, which Melted them better
than $50 a month over what the
army is paying them. That is their
cash contribution. We are not now
mentioning the personal risk that
they are exposing themselves to for
our benefit.
Another Red Cross activity ou1
local workers have not as yet even at.
tempted in making is that of sheets,
pillow cases etc., for the Belgian
and French refugees. They have not
attempted this, althougheit is needed,
for the n and only reason that We
