outcast, very much neglected. and
asked that Rotary do something for
Elm. He finally gave his name as
Lakeland Cemetery and he was in,
vited to sit at the table, and received
the promise Of the Rotarians that

to arrive at an appointed place on
time do you take the trouble to call
up your waiting friends and tell them
so? If you are going to be late for

true; yet you yourself would not want

Private Causland was decorated for
conspicuous heroism in action near
Bantheville, France, October "a, 1918.
Private Causland was acting as am
muH1tfon carrier for a machine gun,
which was supporting a raid on the
enemy by the infantry While this gun
was being operated from shell hole
its ammunition became exhausted and
the corporal called back to the car
riers, who were in shell holes twenty
five yards behind, to bring up more
ammunition. Though the gun position
was under heavy enemy fire, Private
Causland called out, "I'll take It," and
rushed forward with two boxes of am
munition. Just as he reached the EN-
placement with the ammunition, he
was killed instantly by machine gun
bullet. Private Causland's home was
at AnacOnteS, Wash.

A New Army Needed.

During the war no man wanted to
be considered a Stacker. Most Of
them marched off to war in behalf Of
their country. Most of them made
great sacrifices to do it. They fought
nobly and we'll and many had to offer
on the altar of their country their
greatest gift-life.
Now that the war is over many of
our men seem to think their duty to
their country is over as well. And at
a time when Over-production is need
I'd, they strike for higher wages, for
shorter hours, for almost impossible
conditions of work. And this country
upon which the whole world is de-
pending for production is falling back
on the job miserably.
Of course low production brings
up the prices on those things which
are produced and we get this high
cost of living which we hear so much
about And thus we go on in a circle
food is high, men strike for higher
wages, their striking binders pro-
duction and prices climb still high
er.
1t seems a shame that we cannot
call out the same loyal army to fight
this external foe of autocracy They
both kill our mankind, but in differ
ent ways.

The Desire For a Home.

Every rational human being has 3
trong desire for home. That home
may mean only a room, or perhaps
just corner of room, or even tent
or rude shelter, but in that spot will
be located whatever is dear. If q
man has a family whom he loves and
cherishes, his home will be wherever
they are, in a house, on a train, or out
under the stars.
But when he has no immediate rel
atives, his longing for a home still
exists, and he clings to spot wherein
he may have only his few personal be-
longings. But everyone wants some
familiar spot on the earth to which
he may always return from his wan
behring's, some spot which will serve as
an anchor, and which to him is
"home" How thankful we should be
when our desire finds satisfaction in
a home complete, made up of loving,
intelligent parents and happy, good,
care-free children.

One Solution.

Are you nervous motorist, panic
stricken every time your car just
misses running down a child playing
in the road? Here's what they did to
solve the problem in Coblenz, Ger
many according to Red Cross worker
there just returned from war service.
"In Coblenz," she says, "the situa-
ton became most annoying. The chill
dren would play in the streets in
spite of all Advertisements. 1t was
particularly narrowing and nerve
racking for army motor truck chauf-
feurs, who came whizzing along on
official business to stop and pick their
way thru the throngs.
"At last some one suggested a way
to keep the children from the roads
Public notices were posted up an
nouncing that all children found play
ing in the middle Of the road reserved
for conveyances would be publicly
spanked. If the offense was commit
ted again the child's father would be
given three months of hard labor
That was to impress it on the parents
mind.
"There were six cases. Six children
were spanked publicly, with repre-
sentative of every family in town
present. The father was asked to of
fciate, which he did with such ardent
enthusiasm that the Americans were
compelled to ask him to stop. The
rest Of the children stayed out of the
roads after that and not father was
sentenced to three months at hard
labor"

EMORY J. PIKE,
Lieutenant Colonel, D. Nj. G. O., 9ond
Division.

6iNiSiVtis
Lieut. Col. Emory J. Pike (deceased)
was decorated for conspicuous gal
lantry In action near Wanderers, France,
September Is, 1913. Having gone for
ward to reconnOiter new machine gun
positions, Colonel Pike offered his as
sistance in recognizing advance in
fantry units which had become disOr-
ganized during a heavy artillery she'll
ing. Colonel Pike succeeded in lOcat-
ing only about 20 men, but with these
he advanced and when later joined by
several infantry platoOns, rendered in
cstimable service in establishing out
posts, encouraging all by hrs cheerful
ness, in spite of the extreme danger of
the situation. When shell had
wounded one of the men in the out
post, Colonel Pike Immediately went
to his aid, and was severely wounded
himself when another shell burst in
the same place. While waiting to be
brought to the rear Colonel Pike con-
tinued in command, still retaining his
jovtal manner of encouragement, Gi-
recting the reorganization until the
position could be held. The entire
operation was carried on under terrific
bombardment and the example of cour-
age and devotion to duty as set by
Colonel Pike, established the highest
standard Of morale and confidence to
all under his charge. The wounds he
received were the cause of his death.
His daughter, Martha Agnes Pike, lives
In Des Moines, Ia.
