THE FLOWER DE LIBERTY

What flower is this that greets the morn, it's hues from heaven so freshly born? With burning star and flaming band t kindles all the sunset land; o tell Us what it's name may be-Is
 this the Flower of Liberty? It is. it is, it Is the banner of the free, The starry Flower, the Flower of
 Liberty!
 In savage Nature s far abode, is ten der seed our fathers sowed. The storm winds rocked its swelling
 bud, it's opening leaves were streaked with blood Till To! earth's tyrants shook to see the full blown Flower of Liberty. Behold it's streaming rays unite, one
 mingling flood of braided light, The red that fires the southern rose,
 with spotless white from northern
 snows,
 And, spangled OCT it's azure, see the
 sister stars of Liberty. The blood of heroes fence it round
 where CT 1t springs is holy ground From tower and dome its glories spread
 it waves where lonely sentrie,
 tread
 It makes the land as ocean free, anC plants an empire on the sea. The sacred leaves, fair Freedom : flower, shall ever float on dome and tower
 To all their heavenly colors true, il blackening frost or crimson dew And God love us as we love thee, thrice holy Flower of Liberty. Then hail! then hail the banner of the free. the starry flower, the Flower of Liberty,

Mary C. Ellsworth. Chapter No. 153 o. E. $. Died Decem-
 Der 5th, 1917.

The Angel of Death, ' reaping Gods harvest of souls, has gar nered none with a higher sense of duty than she whose loss so many deplore.
 The emphasis of her life was in her family husband and sons but she was deeply concerned in the welfare of the Church. the Chapter and the Community quiet, modest, unpretentious, but always active, resolute and determined in quickly answering the call of duty from any of them. She was never too weary to go, and never too busy to stop when the call for service came. Her life was a bright example to Us. Her place will be difficult to fill. The impress she made for good will long abide. By her going the home is the loser, the church the weak CT and society the sadder.
 With her name shall live
 Through long succeo ding years, Embalmed with all our hearts cangiye,
 Our praises and our tears. . RESOLVED, by Chapter No.
 153 o. E. $.

When you hear fellow shouting
Justify about pro.Germanism and van
gushing the kaiser's forces, and you
know he has not ingested one penny
to help the United States, 1t is safe
to place him where he belongs
braggart and a bully, who does not
care how the war ends. 1t does not
cost anything to talk, but it does take
money to run a war. Any man who
has the interests of his country at
heart can buy a Liberty bond. It
comes with mighty poor grace for a
fellow to make the dec.~:ation that
he can't afford it. II the government
decided to levy its war fund by tax
alton he would have to afford it.
The American citizen who is bab-
bier about war activities and pro-
German sentiments and sits supine
ly, denying the government any sup
port in its struggle for humanity, is
a meaner man than the German sub
ject who buys Liberty bonds and
War Savings Stamps. Such a man
is a Stacker Of the lowest type.
1t is this class who endeavor to
eyade the food regulations. An in
stance Of this kind was related
where a man bought a sack Of flour
and two or three bushels Of seed po-
tatoes and prevailed upon the grocer
let the potatoes go as food substi-
tute, while in reatity he bought them
for one purpose planting. Ameri-
can citizenship of this calibre is not
very efficient for government help.

You do nothing more.

Roosevelt welcomes the news. In
the course of one OF his articles the
colonel writes:
"The allies in this battle are fight
ing for humanity and civilization.
They are fighting the battle Of the
United States. Any man in the Unit
ed States who at this time directly
or indirectly expresses approval or
sympathy with>Germany in this bat
tie or in this war should be arrest
ed and either shot, hung, or impris-
oned for life according to the grav-
ity of his offense.
"Thank heaven that our sons and
brothers are now to stand at Arma-
geddon Thank heaven that Ameri-
can soldiers are now to fight in the
great battle against the bestial foe
Of America and Of mankind Words
count for little at this time and for
nothing whatever except i'll so far as
they are of help to the men of deeds
who are at the front
ut is these men at the front who
are now making all American born
and unborn forever their debtors,
they are the men who nave paid with
their bodies for their souls desire.
Let no one pity them, whatever their
fate. for they have seen the mighty
days and have risen level to the need
of the mighty days.
And let no one pity the wives and
mothers and fathers whose husbands
and lovers and sons now face death
in battle for the mightiest of all high
causes. Our hearts are wrung with
sorrow and anxiety, but our head5
are held aloft with pride. 1t is a
terrible thing that our loved ones
should face the great danger but it
would be a far more terrible thing
il. whatever the DANGER they were
not treading the hard path of duty
and honor
That Col Roosevelt's words come
from the heart cannot be questioned
when it is remembered that his own
sons are on the firing line, one OF
them having recently been wounded.

THE REAL STACKER

It is unfortunate for the United
States that some of her citizens-na-
tive born, too-sit around and prate
about putting the pro-Germans out OF
business and beheading the kaiser,
when everyone knows they haven't
bought a Liberty bond or a Thrift
Stamp. 1fthe government had tBFide4
pend on such pusillanimous prigs for
Support there would be only one ave
nue. open whereby war funds could
DC acquired and that would be by di,

The Editors Mail Bag

To The Editor of The Forum:
was born and raised on a farm
but for the last thirty five years
have been engaged in the butter, egg
and poultry business either in the
small town shipping point, or in the
big market centers.
We have. as a result Of the war,
a new process Of making an imita-
ton butter that gives us a purely
vegetable compound possessing all
the flavor Of the best butter and
which eliminates the old after
taste" common to the old style cleo
made principally from cotton-seed
oil and beef fats. However, this
newer product is still whittier than
the old kind and to look presentable
or palatable it must be colOred, so
the dealer gives us little globe of
pure vegetable color and we color it
as we use it and by adding q little
salt, we have a product as pure and
wholesome and as palatable as even
the good old butter mother used to
make and we have bought it for II
to 20 cents per pound cheaper than
creamery butter. Perhaps it is not so
nutritious as the animal fat prod
uct, but as the supply of genuine
emit conditions anyway we would
indeed be in sorry plight now were
it not for this substitute. Hence why
should we be forced to go to the
extra trouble of coloring our own
substitute butter when the law OIL
lows the creamery buttermaker TO
use all the color he is minded TO
use to make his product which, I'M
like the cocoanut oil product. is not
always of the same standard and on
the contrary is frequently far below
standard?
As mentioned above, / am butter
and produce man and have handled
tons of all grades Of butter put i
feel that the consumer should be en-
titled to look-in, while all the 9TH
ers' interests are being taken care
of in their conventions.
Why should the buttermakers nave
any monopoly on the use of color? III
the manufacturers Of a perfectly
wholesome food product are compelled
by law to pay a prohibittye tax Tor
the privilege of using a color, why
shouldn't the candy maker ana the
baker also pay the tax?
Or il the buttermaker is TO nave
exclusive use of this particular color
why should even the consumer be
allowed to put it into his one pound
of cocoanut margarine?
l can expect no personal gain from
nv stand in this matter. in fact,
expect the contrary; for being
butter man, in the butter business,
it is, 1 am afraid, directly against my
own interests to advocate anything
to the butter business,
but l have seen the readiness OF the
press and public to fight for the
farmer" while the consumer is
forced to stand back and keep mum,
smother his feelings. about these
matters, and my sense of fairness
prompts me to say a word for the
consumer.
Our farmers are the very best
citizens as a class and deserve all
the help and praise we can give them
but I have every faith in their sense
Of fairness, to cause me to think
that they do not ask an unfair ad.

MORE LIVESTOCK ON FARMS.

And now Americans are told that
the number Of cattle, sheep and hogs
lin the country has shown a marked
ancrease over last year.
We had a gloomy mind picture Of
the hills being stripped Of their
sheep; the plains of their cattle, and
the barnyards Of the hogs.
The "raise-a-pig" movement was
coming to have a peculiar appeal.
The possibility of lettering a sheep
in the backyard began to have allur-
ing features. We could see nothing
but decimated herds, slaughtered
sheep, and kicking, sauealing pork
1crs.
And now comes tho United States
Department Of Agriculture with its
annual report, and kicks hole in
this picture For the last year there
was an increase of cattle other than
mich cows, of As per cent This net
increase was due to an increase Of
AZ per cent in calves; 22.7 per cent
in heifers for milk; So per cent in
other heifers; a decrease of 80 per
cent in steers; and an increase of 10
per cent in other cattle.
Swine showed an increase of 81
per cent in number, and sheep an
increase of 1.2S4,OOO. the percentage
not being given in the press sum
mary of the report.
The total value is placed at more
than eight billions or enough to pay
the national debt. The United States
can stand a year or two of war yet.
