When I remember Thee upon my bed ny meditation of Thee shall be sweet"
 Sweet it is. Dear Lord to rest Pil1owed Thy loving breast. Held safe from nights alarms, In Thy strong arms. While Thine eyes that never sleep Constant vigils o'er me keep. So shall mind and heart and soul, Ky Thy easelesS care made whole. Greet the day with auickened powers. Serve Thy will through all it's hours, Bring Thy heaven down to earth In a new celestial birth. Or if soul and body part. Chilling life in brain and heart, shall find sweeter rest Closer to Thy loving breast. And my heaven shall ever he That I live and love in Thee. Charles A.

Oh, broad are the prairies, rich and
 green,
 And fair are the forests grand. And the rivers deep. with their on-

 Of our own lovely land. Her feet the gulfs warm waters lave The deep snows bind her hair Twin oceans great upon her wait. Her meSsage to bear. No hate she knows. no foe she fears No nations place she seeks; With upraised hand she guards the strand And all our love bespeaks. In hope she waits the happy hour To still the cannons' roar Then heres to the land where safe

 From ocean shore to shore.

TO MAkE AN oLp rAeLE NEW

Dear Social Cornerites: Old tables are worth making over because the wood in them is better than can be bought today:
 If your table is all nicked and badly dented, you will have to plane it or scrape it until the top is smooth. Then if you had to plane very far down into the wood so as to take off the stain you would have to stain it again. Then apply two coats of shellac. rubbing each coat with the No. % sandpa per- Then apply the wax.

Dried Apple Pies.

T loathe. abhor. detest. despise Abominate dried apple pies! I like good bread. I like good meat, Or anything that's fit to eat; But of all poor grub beneath the skies The poorest is dried apple pies. Give me a toothache or sore eyes In preference to such kind of pies. s7The farmer takes his gnarlies1 fruit, The wormy bitter and hard to boot, , They leave the hullS to make you cough
 And don't take half the peeling of. Then on a dirty cord they're strung, Nf And from some chamber window
 hung;
 And there they serve a roost for flies Until they're ready to make pies, Tread on-my corns,s or tell me lies, : But don't pass me dried apple pies.'

ILLINOIS COAL
TO Be TABOOED
Organization to Be Attempted
to Shut OF Kansas City
Trade-HOme Coal In
terests Involved

The Baxter Chamber Of Commerce
together with all other such organiza-
tions throughout this entire mineral
district, (both coal and zinc,) have
been solicited by the Chamber Of
Commerce Of Pittsburg, Kan, to as
sist that city in a campaign against
the importation Of Illinois coal, par
ticularly to the Kansas City territory,
which naturally would be supplied
from the Pittsburg and LeavenwOrth
districts.
It is understood that freight rates,
favoring Illinois coal as against the
Kansas product, have been granted
for the Kansas City territory, thus
imposing a hardship and big handi-
cap on the Pittsburg field.
The cOmpaint is made, it is under
stood, that Kansas City has solicited
and secured these lower rates on IL
linois coal. In opposition to these
rates and in soliciting the assistance
Of all Chambers Of Commerce and
merchants organizations, the Pitts
burg chamber says:
"As Kansas City depends upon
Southeastern Kansas and Southwest
ern Missouri for an immense volume
of trade and business, we demand that
she support our local industries and
protect her future business relation
ship with this territory.
"The shipping Of Illinois coal to
Kansas City would work considerable
hardship on the coal industry Of Kan
sas and Missouri and this would nee
essarily inflict injury on our trade
conditions, possibly meaning the shut
ting down Of mines, curtailment Of
labor and q general depression"
The Baxter organization has COM
piled with the Pittsburg request, but
| It Is understood that the Kansas City
Chamber Of Commerce and other 10
cal organisations have refused TO con-
cede to Pittsburg's request
It is also understood that an organ
izatiOn Of this entire district may be
attempted. by Pittshdrg interests to
throw trade from Kansas City to 9TH
er centers.

THE AMERICAN
TROOPS. WANT OUT
A General Feeling Among the
Officers and Men Is That
This Country Is Not at
War With Russia

A dispatch from Archangel Tues
day depicts the feeling Of the Ameri-
can troops in Northern Russia.
The soldiers have interpreted the
Washington statement that they
would be relived at the earliest mo-
ment possible as meaning not later
than June /, which is the time they
believe navigation at Archangel prob
ably will be open and while out Of q
spirit Of loyalty to their officers and
the American traditions they express
a willingness to stick it out until that
date, they are exceedingly reluctant
to 20 to the front and risk their lives.
A company of American troops re-
Gently showed some hesitation in re-
turning to the fighting trout south Of
Archangel, declaring that the war
with Germany was over and that the
United States was not at war with
the BOlsheviki.
Commander Makes Appeal
The regimental commander in a
speech said that they were fighting a
desperate defensive battle and appeal
ed to them to stick it out. The COM
pany then left for the front.
The situation arose when the COM
pany named was ordered back to the
front after a rest period at Archangel
The officers were informed that the
men did not want to 60 to the front
again. They asked to have their ar
Ruments answered.
The men cOntended that they were
draft men selected for the war with
Germany which was finished now,
that America was not at war with the
BSlsheviId, that the entire BOlshevikl
question as the subject Of much POlit'
ical debate and indecisiOn in the
United States, and that so far as they
were. concerned they were unable tc
see why they should be fighting d
there was no war.
Tn reRimental commander said thai
perhaps their own lives depended OF
the fighting on this front and ther
made his successful appeal reciting z
the men traditions Of the American
army.
Feeling Il General
The incident was only the OutcrOp
pinK.Of what seems to be the genera
feeling, among the American troops
officers rs well As men. Because o.
thiS feeling It is admitted more or les
9snerally that the troops now Their
probably will be Of little use afte
