The New French Draperies.
The severity that America lays down
for us inl the morning Is easily changed
into IA floating gracefulness as laid
down by France for the late afternoon
and evening.
II is yet to be seen whether America
will go In extensively for afternoon
gowns, according 10 the French GUS
tom, but there Is one thing of which
we are quite certain; If the American
woman likes an afternoon gown, she
will wear 1t through the evening, UNI

France has cut her silhouette as

IL for tailored costumes but France
gives note of the First Empire In the

The trick Is not confined to house
costumes; IL plays good role In street
gowns also. In a modified and demure
manner. A tunic of Georgette crepe.

saprers who might be tunneling under
No Mans Land to establish nine

OF course, In our orders we were told
not to be captured by German patrols
or accommodating parties. Lots of

THE WOMEN SPEAK.

We used to say, in our old days of ease,
After round of foolish revelries,
Each one of us little bored with mirth-
''I am so tired" sure of sympathy;
Or we complained as housewives, bitterly,
Of our unceasing duties upon earth.
Sisters of mine, it is not so today
We who find daylight all too short to pay
Our debt Of gratitude. Or great, or less,
To any, every task our zeal may find
We give our best of hand and heart and mind,
And who is there who speaks OF WEAKNESS?
We said once, 81 am red,'-now that same
Word on our lips would be a word of shame,
We cannot bear enough to prove US true
To those who uncomplaining, glorious,
Fight through the fame of very He'll for US,
Lord, of Thy mercy, give US more to do!
-Theodosia Garrison of The Vigilantes.
The Redwood gazette., 1918-04-24

ping The American giant is half awake, yet
the freedom of the world is in the balance. This
is no moment for fear or hesitation. This is no
moment for shutting our eyes either to the might
of the enemy the weakness of our own con-
ditions. 1t is, above all other times, the time
TO look the whole truth-the truth abroad, the
truth at home-squarely in the face. 1t is time
for America to rise to her full stature to put
down the seditionist, to put out the incompe
tent to put forth every ounce of her vast
strength. We need not for a moment doubt the
victory. Our noble allies will not fail to keep
the gate America will not fail TO take her
place at their side. Freedom will not fall be-
fore the alliance of military depotsm and an
archy.-Herb Hotaling.

WE ARE PROUD OF HIM!

YAVE you as movie fan, thought what it
II means to go, every night if you wish,
4 to the local movie house and hear some
of the best music of the masters, both old and
new, played by an artist? Have you realized
as you sat there letting the glorious harmony
take you away from the sordidness and sorrow
of the old work-a-day world, that you were
to the syncophated stuff turned out by those
players who boast that they "play the pictures
but to living music? The pianist is only lad
in years but and an artist in understand
ing and Interpretation. While Redwood Falls
audiences may be slow in expressing pleasure in
the wealth of music he gives, they not lack
ing in deep appreciation and deep interest
which voices itself in the often expressed be-
lief that the young musician will go long way
with his talent What many do not know is that
this lad has done his work freshmen of the
high school so we'll that he has been exempt
from every examination throughout the schoo
year; that he completed this winter the work
necessary to taking communion as a member OF
the Lutheran church; that he has played fol
dances all through the early months of the win
ter, thereby earning the money necessary to pay
his own expense of school and clothing; that
he is studying the pipe organ and now puts IN
several hours in practice every day; and that
along with everything else, he has been his
mothers right hand man in doing the house
hold work. Honor to whom honor is due-ano
much of it to Erwin.

THE THIRD LOAN.

THERE are always exceptions to the rule.
Right now there is an exception to an
excellent rule: Go in debt for this Lib
erty Loan Calculate how much money, with
reasonably good luck, you can expect to have IN
hand during the next six months. Subscribe at
least that much. Then hustle all you know to
pay it up.
Really, there is no question here of keeping
out of debt, for you are already in debt to the
full amount of the loan. Your concern-the
United States-has obligated itself to spend the
money The debt is incurred now. The more
completely it is taken upon the individual
shoulders of the rank and file Of the people, the
better the country's financial position will be.
The more widely the loan is distributed, the less
initiation there will be; and every individual with
debt to pay will have spur to increased prod
ucton and greater economy.
Go in debt for this loan!-Saturday Evening
Post.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead! Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from falling hands we throw
The Torch-be yours to hold it high!
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

In my country and her destiny.
In the great dream of her founders,
In her place among the nations,
In her ideals.
I believe
That her democracy must be protected.
Her privileges cherished,
Her freedom defended
I believe
That, humbly, before the Almighty,
But proudly before all mankind,
We must safeguard her standard,
The vision of her Washington,
The martyrdom of her Lincoln,
With the patriotic ardor
Of the minute men
And the boys in blue
Of her glorious past
I believe
In loyalty to my country
Utter, irrevocable, inviolate.
Thou in whose sight
A thousand years are but as yesterday.
And as watch in the night,
Help me
In my frailty.
To make real
What / believe.
