Brussels, Sept. %. 49, Belgium
which is far ahead of any of the
other European belligerents in
the process of reconstruction. is
in great need of cats.
The necessity is urgent" says
the National which adds that
during the war we had no cats
but we had no mice either. They
had all died of hunger. Now
that food is more plentiful the
mice have reappeared in thou
sands. Unhappily, the same can
not be said of cats. The result is
that n dollar is being paid for a
mere atom of a kitten. Oh, that
our fairy godmothers, England

Minister Will Discuss
Vital Modern Topics

The Need of the Hour is Re-
ligion," will be the subject of SER
mon which the Rev. Henry W. A.
Hanson will preach tomorrow eve
ming at Messiah Lutheran Church.
The Rev. Hanson takes his text
direct from the head of financial
letter issued by a well-known bank
ing house, and will speak on the high
cost of living, the industrial troubles
and other vital questions of the day.
That religion has been kept too
much in the churches and not been
permitted to get into the outside af-
fairs, will be stressed by the Rev.
Hanson. Too many of our national
characters do not appreciate the
need of a national conscience, he
says, or that the solution OF the labor
problem is religion.
