OUR SOLDIERS AND THE SALIVA
TION ARMY

William A. Biby, Chairman of the
Salvation Army Kansas Capmaign
says: The acid test of any service,
done for our soldiers in France was
the value the men themselves placed
upon it. No matter how excellent our
intentions, we cannot be satisfied with
the result if the soldiers are not sat
isfed. Without suggesting individious
distinctions among organizations that
are working at the front, it is never
theless a pleasure to record that the
Salvation Army stands very high in
the regard of American Soldiers.
The evidence of the Salvation
Army's excellent work comes from
many sources. One typical tribute is
printed as an editorial in the Stars
and Stripes paper published by the
soldiers, and its evident sincerely
makes it worth quoting:
"We1l, we were all homeless over
there, and every American Soldier
took back with him new affection
and new respect for the Salvation
Army. Many carried with them the
memories of cheering word and a
friendly cruller received in one of the
huts nearest of all to the trenches.
There the old slogan of @<soup and sal
vatlon has given way to .tpies and
p1ety-" 1t might have been "dough-
nuts for doughboys''
These huts, pitched within the shock
OF German guns were ramshackle, and
bare. But they did work that sol
dlers themselves viii not forget, and
it is an especial pleasure to saw so
here, because the Salvation Army be-
ing much too simple and old fashion

These words are significant not onlv
because they are encomium of the
work of the Salvation Army, but be-
cause they seem to give US the key to
tne success of that work. The Saliva
tlon Army IS nearest the trenches of
want and distress over here. The Sal
Walton Army girls face danger, disease
and death every day in the slunls of
our large cities and they do it with
the same devotion that they served the
boys over there. Such noble work
should be encouraged
In the matter of funds, the Saliva
ton Army seems to have been the
Cinderella among relief organiza-
tons. Just now the Army is trying
to raise $232,000 in Kansas and too
little attention is being paid to that
effort. Gen. Pershing cables his APP
proval to Commissioners EstiIl, and
the fact is hardly noticed

THE BIGGEST HOG SHIPMENT

The largest individual hog shipment
ever received at the Kansas City mar
ket, consisting of 949 hogs which
averaged $50 pounds apiece, total
of 265,72o pounds of pork on the. -hoof,
recently was received from a Living
ston County, Missouri, farmer These
porkers had rail service de luxe, as
the 10 cars they occupied were hand
led as a special live stock train The
extra attention accorded this ship
ment was worth the trouble, as only
8 hogs, or about three-tenths of i per
cent We're lost.

My friend, here is something for
you to think over now that you have
become fully possessed of the idea
that you are about the whole works.
The world is getting fairly along in
years now and no one man has ever
been able to absolutely run it. Some
of them have been. able to make very
small dent in obscure corners, but
none of them have ever been able to
cause the least fiction on the main
line shaft Just because you get your
picture printed in the paper and
few people talk about you is no sign
that you are having any effect the
law of gravitation. None of the neigh
bors desire in the least to disturb you
in your laudable ambitions to become
master of the universe, but we can't
help observing that you still have con-
siderable to do before you reach your
goal Don't get discouraged just be-
cause the neighbors and you do not
agree over the progress you are maxi
ing. just remember that you are GO
ing to do something that no human
being ever before accomplished, and
that will be sufficient encouragement
are always behind the.times anyway.
