Her Liberty: /,

There was more than one reason
why Gladys consented to act on the
woman's committee of the local Lib
erty~ Loan board. She tried conscien-
tiously to make her duty toward her
country the first and compelling rea-
son; deep in her heart she realized,
however, that there was a rival motive.
And that motive was, by name, David
Stapleton, chairman of the committee
OF men. 81. . :; 49, ,... y
Gladys Moore was a girl well along
in her twenties. She was quiet and
pretty, with one Of those sweet per-
sonelities that attracted old ladies and
very young men. She had never gone
out much in the village after she had
returned home from boarding school.
IT seemed as if she had outgrown what
few of her old companions remained In
the home town.
! And that was quite natural. Four
years away from home in that impor-
tant time Of development in q girls

that local town and city folks can as

cooperation. The effect has been to
bring farmer and town resident into
more cordial relations.
The results achieved along this line
are especially helpful toward provid-
Ing the harvest labor needed In q con-
stantly charging agricultural pro-.
gram. Too much emphasis, It Is be-
lieved, cannot be placed on the phase
of the movement that has to do with
bringing into close cooperation and
alignment all the forces which have
more or less to do with the labor prob
lem and framing a program that will
eliminate as for as possible the loss
due to having an Oversupply OF labor
ut certain places and shortage at 9TH
ers, and that will make possible the
use of all the local labor to the fullest
extent and thus save transportation OF
workers from distant areas and neces.
sary loss Of time Occasioned In such
travel.
The success In dealing with the
farm labor situation during the past
year IL thought to justify confidence In
meeting any situation that may de-
velop in 1919.

One of the greatest achievements OF
the farm labor activities conducted BY
the United States department Of agr<
culture during the past year in farm
ing sections all over the country where
labor was needed, was the establish
ment of cordial cooperation and SYM
pathetic understanding between farm
era and local business men, depart

As a result of this cooperation crops
have been harvested by aid OF the

what the future is to be, no one

pealing cry Of humanity from all over

needs Of France, Belgium. Italy, Rus

with the formal declaration Of peace.
A hard winter Is ahead. Exposure and
the hardships Of war and the dislo-

and better world is bright, but the
economic \ conditions are 0min0us.
There viii be such distress In the
world that Vt cannot be met by volun-
tary organizations. Governments them
selves must bear the chief burden, and
I am confident that cooperation be-
tween the governments may be relied
upon in an endeavor to meet this
wholesale work of relief which will be
needed.
I'm addition to this, there will, how
ever, be the necessity and opportunity
for supplementary work which Red

It seems q far cry from the great
world war to styles In corsets. YET
even in corsets, which seem SO incon-
sequential and so small On item IN
the worlds business, the war has
changed manufacturing methods, and
1t looks as If it would have lasting
effect on the garment. Prices, Of cor
sets went up with scarcity Of mate
rails and increase in cost Of labor.
There is no immediate prospect OF
their coming down again. For year
at least the French corset fabrics will
not be imported IN sufficient quanti-
ties to influence price and the labor
item is difficult to handle. Manufac-
turers who are willing to shave ex-
penses in every other direction Will
hesitate to cut down wages. So we
must reconcile ourselves to the pres
emit required expenditure and hope
that It will not advance.
The low bust proves itself the most
comfortable and the most graceful Of
corset models. In fact there Is no
particular reason for mentioning the
bust at all in. connection with new
models that extend only an inch or 50
above the waistline. The bust Is really
corseted by the brassiere and the

hogs from public stockyards except for

were slaughtered, and the pork which
would have been produced, had they
grown to maturity, as we'll as the po-
tential breeding value of the sows, was
consequently lost.
In addition, the fact that many OF
these animals we're not especially de-
sirable for slaughter made them bring
comparatively low prices, frequently,
resulting in actual loss to the shippers.
Quarantine Order Modified.
After the serum and virus treatment
against hog cholera was standardized
BY specialists Of the department, an
order was issued permitting swine to
be shipped from public stockyards for
feeding or breeding purposes when
they had been given such treatment I'M
der the supervision Of department
inspector. However, It was required
that treated swine should be held In
the yards q days before shipment,
this period being later reduced to IA
days. The cost of feeding the AMI
mails during the quarantine period
was 80 great that the traffic did not
reach any considerable proportions.
But with added knowledge and ex-
perience in the control of hog cholera
and modification Of state laws govern
ing its control, the department thought
It safe to permit the shipment of treat
ed hogs ut once to points In states
which have regulations requiring that
such animals be held in local quaran.

life make wonderful change in her
tastes and habits and choice of friends.
Almost the only place; she had gone
during the four years that she had
been at home had been to Red Cross
meetings. In this organization she had
worked untiringly and now, when the
war was calling forth to the limit of
her capacity every woman in the viii
lage, Gladys was one of the most de-
pendable. i: -.
Then came the call for woman's
Liberty Loan committee to supplement
the work of the men. 49,
"But-I've never done anything Of
the kind" Gladys demurred, when they
asked her to serve.
Neither have we," said the COM
mittee in unison.
And Gladys, having previously no
tlced the name Of David Stapleton, the
cashier of the village bank, on the list
of men, accepted.
David Stapleton was a widower. He
had known Gladys as a girl in her
teens and had always liked her. Since
she had returned home he had seldom
seen her. His activities lay along lines
that did not include women. He hard
1y ever saw q woman outside of his
own household, where there were a
number of aunts and near aunts.
"This is my first experience in this
line," Gladys said to him when they
came face to face the first morning
that she appeared at headquarters to
begin work on the big drive. N.N
'This is our first war, you know"
David laughed, as he let her pass
through the door. 49,. -.

marked. ..-..- ...s. -. *s -....-.~

David found himself saying as Gladys
busted herself arranging tables and
chairs as part of her work on the COM
mittee on headquarters decorations.
"What for?'' q
'sFor giving me the pleasure of see
ing you again" - ~ ,+.
Gladys pretty white skin warmed
pefceptibly, and David, unaccustomed
as he was to observing feminine
charms, thought he had never seen
anything so lovely as her cheeks
Every day the two had work to do
together, and occasionally in the eve
ming Gladys found herself being es-
corted to or from q Liberty Loan
meeting by David Stapleton.

said to her one night on the way home.

READING THE BIBLE.

Some time every day should be
given to studious reading of the Bible,
maintains New York's most widely
read daily. Even if people have no
inclination to scan the sacred pages
from religiously inspired motive,
they should read them because of the
literary inspiration and satisfaction.
Between Genesis and Revelation
are to be found hundreds of wonder
full stories. There are stories of love,
like Ruth's stories of adventure, like
Jacobs, Or the wanderings of the Is
realities.
And, if one has not had enough of
such reading during the past four
years, the Bible student will find
therein stories of personal combat,
like David's, or of warfare or destruc-
ton. There is only one kind of
story that you will not find in the
Bible" notes The Journals editor.
There are no funny stories, no hui
NOR. There is not in all literature
one piece of humorous writing that
has lived. Men do not spend real
thought in writing things to laugh at.
And men who prefer to read comical
stuff do not get much mental exer-
else out of it."

THE ENGLISH PARISH CHURCH.

Catholic churches, especially those
in rural areas, were, during the Mid
die Ages, centers, not only for divine
worship, but also for English COM
munity life in it's various aspects.
There was no need for club rooms and
church Institutes in those days. The
Church served this purpose. Perhaps
this, in a measure, explains the as
tonishing frequency in which they ex-
ist in some places, although be it said
with emphasis, our forefathers at all
times held their churches in supreme
affection for the religious purpose for
which they were consecrated Emf
nent writer's testify that England
stands first in all Christendom in the
number and antiquity of her churches.
History leaves no loophole for doubt
that the English parish church of
olden days possessed wonderful hold
on the affections of the whole country
side. A point, in measure explana-
tory, requires to be remembered The
religious duty of paying 1.-THE became
enforceable at law as early as the
tenth century. This 1.-THE was some
times happily termed Goods portion .
It was intended to be applied to the
maintenance of the poor or for the
exercise OF hospitality. This intention

over thirty years before the umbrella
became popular in England. At first
they were owned only by hotel and
inn keepers who kept them close at
hand to hold over their patrons as
they went to and from their car
riages. Later when they were used
by people other than inn keepers for
business reasons, there would be one
umbrella in a family for the use of
all. When their use became still more
common some people said that there
were three classes of people in Eng.
land. The class of people who could
afford a carriage and did not need
an umbrella. The class of people who
could afford an umbrella but not a
carriage. And the class of people who
could afford neither"

THE BEATlTUDES.

The Beatitudes are the doors thrown
open by the hand of Our Lord for men
to walk forth in life upon the true
road to happiness upon which Turk no
receptions, and in the hearts of those
who pass through these doors there
are no doubts, no fears of deception.
The sign-posts which guide them at
every turn are written by the finger of
God; others are deceived. Many who
have believed they could find happi-
ness in the attainment of wealth, or
the satisfaction of their ambitions; or
in the joys Of domestic life, have in
the end missed their aim, and even
though they may have gained what
they set before them they have found
in it only restlessness and dissatisfac-
ton. But those who ruled their lives
by the laws of the Beatitudes, have
been guided by One Who has never
yet misled anyone who has submitted
his life to that divinely revealed rule.

NY OFFERING OF LOVE.

Dear Sacred Heart, that dost impart
Thy deathless love to me;
To heav'n l sing, and hither bring
An off'ring unto Thee!
No diadems of dazzling gems,
Nor highly FURNISHED gold
Of costliness, do possess;
These lifeless are, and cold.
For Loves sake, this off'ring take
My grateful life, made sweet
By prayer and praise thro' pain-flled
days
l lay it at Thy feet!
Thou art my Way! from day by day
Thy Face is imaged clear
Within my heart, whose Light Thou
art;
Thus, Lord, have no fear.
Thou art my Truth! From early
youth
Thou hast been all to me;
BY Thy wise Hand my years were
planned
For good, plainly see.
Thou art my Life? Thro' stormiest
strife
My hand Thou didst firm hold
And mad'st more strong Thy gift OF
song
That shines, by Grace, like gold.
And so Thou art, dear Sacred Heart
Of all my songs the best;
Each note, each cord, is Thine, dear
Lord,
To touch and make souls blest.
Thy glory shines on me in lines
Of pentecostal fire;
BY Thy sweet Grace, my heart EN-
brace
To lift me higher and higher!
Blest Three in One! The hymn is
done;
My hearts Heart calls to me.
High, Triune Power! Crown-bless-
this hour,
