Four-year-old Marion with her moth

day while passing the public watering
trough for horses flock of birds was
perched on the side of the tub drink
ing. This was something new for
Marion and, looking up at her mother
in surprise, she said: "Why, mudder,
didn't know they had bathtubs for their
birds down here" ...-.....

WHAT WASHINGTON
WOULD DO.

In one important particular we
have departed from the explicit pol
icy laid down by George Washing
ton in the great document which
for a century and a quarter has been
our political Bible. We have aban-
doned our isolation and are partici-
pating frankly in European affairs,
on equal terms with European
powers.
We cannot help that. Times have
changed. 1t was inevitable.
We sought no quarrel in Europe,
and no alliance. Europe came to us
and dragged us in. We do not think
that Washington himself could have
avoided our choice, or would have
sought TO avoid it.
And once launched on this new
course, we are using our position
for the supreme purpose that Wash
ington desired and foresaw-the
characterization of the world.

centration of the whole mind on any
subject at all. And suppose they

uteS day looking with fresh and
open mind at any one thing in

all that in them is'-as If never a
line had been written or a word

Wouldn't all the talk suddenly be-
come fresh an Interesting?
We've all got brains. Why don't
we use them a little? Man is sup
posed to be distinguished over all
beats as the thinking animal. Must
we forego that distinction for the
dubious privilege of being parrots
Spring is at hand. We weary OF

salad into our talk. Perhaps we
will find it strangely purifying.

CANNED CONVERSATION.

Philosophy for February prints
this suggestion under the caption
Canned Goods
The printing press may become
a machine for destroying original
thought, as well as our taste for
fresh iood. We live too much on
canned goods. Our Libraries are
stacked full OF canned science,
canned philosophy, canned religion
everything under the sun is now
canned. Lacking preservatiye, much
OF the stuff is rotten and should he
thrown out, and many cans have
nothing in them-never had. The
art of intelligent discussion, OF po-
lite conversation, of connected red-
soning, is being crowded out by
triyialities. Yet the heavens and the
earth, the seas and all that in them
is, are as full Of fresh meat rs they
were before ever a line had been
written about anything in them
For a time the war seemed to
have a beneficial effect upon the
canned conversation and canned
thought, but now even the war talk
seems to smack of tin and solder.
If you are inclined to disbelieve this,
listen today to yourself and other
people at their ordinary interchange
of words. There is no interchange
of ideas. The little red cans OF Bel
gian atrocities have gone out Of
style-but listen to the talk about
knitting, about war Investigations,
about the affairs of everyday lie.
Suppose people everywhere
should take to spending FIVE minutes

THE TRACTOR.

The tractor on the ranch arose
Before the dawn at 4
1t MIXED the cows and washed the
clothes
And finished every chorc.
Forth it went up the hills,
Just at the break of day,
To cut the trees, and saw the wood,
Then haul it all away.
1t pumped the water for the stock,
And ground crib of corn,
Crushed up the feed for all the flock
To still their cries at morn.
Then in the evening glow,
While the ranchman sat and read,
The patient tractor stood
And ran the dynamo.

Could your stupid beans
Know what supro-orbital

You'd forgive us fervidly-

You would unreservedly
Pardon US our crouch,
Stabbing, spearing, arrowing,
Gripping, throbbing thrills!

Twinging, soaring caustery.

Till our eyes are watery,
Till our hair is white!

So bid you crabbedly
Go and take a walk.

Angrily scoff,
Hoping you'll get mad enough
To knock the darned thing off.

Sergeant Gillingham was ma
chine gun operator in the aerial
service with the line troops. He
was wounded twice. His both
er, Sergt. c. !. Gillingham, was
wounded in the second battle of
YpreS and is also assigned to re-
cruiting service. The Gilling-
ham boys have a great record.
1t started when war was de
clared in Canada at midnight,
Aug. 4, 1914. Early the next
morning the two-then 10 and
l. years of age-went to the re-
cruiting Office and enlisted.
They went home, not daring to
mention their action to their
mother, who was a widow.
When they sat down to lunch
their mother said: Boys, our
country is at war. ! think you
know your duty" Then they
told her.
Sergt. Roger Gillingham de
scribes a little OF his experience
in the ten days fight at Cam
brai:)
How / am alive | do not know
1t all seems like a dream. On one
occasion | was blown from the fire
step upon the parapet, and | was
covered with mud a score of times
from shells exploding near me. The
first day OF the attack we walked
over the Germans and killed them
like sheep. They put up no resist
ance, but after three days they came
at us in droves and we moved them
down like corn.
When they counter-attacked their
fire was hot-too hot, in
fact, for our liking. | was with the
Lewis guns, and as | was No. on
the gun it was my place to fire.
Sometimes | got very tired of firing,
but then there is the exciting part
of it. However, the reaction is not
pleasant.
The Hindenburg line was a mar
vel; the dugoutS and firesteps are
really works of art. We took a
large number of prisoners who were
we'll provided with foods and plenty
Of clothes, but they lacked the Spirit
OF the British soldier which always
is there. Just think of it One thin
line OF us attacked Fritz's four and
took them and held them, But we
paid dearly for that holding.
Lieut.. J. NJ. Donaldson Of the
Great Falls Depot says; Eve
walked over them and killed them
like sheep, is just another repeti-
ton OF the old story. The German
is a valiant fighter just as long as
he has barbed wire in front Of him
for protection. Let him see his wire
going and his fighting courage oozes
out of him with it. The sight OF
cold steel is one which the Hun
does not like. Time after time
have seen them jump out of their
trenches when our lines came charg-
inig through their wire, throw up
their hands and call Mercy, Kama
rad" They would run for our
trenches as fast as they could to
keep up from sticking them. As
Sergeant Gillingham says, they are
