The Country Sunday School.

From the Progressive FGymer.l
If the Sunday school has been allow
ed to die down. there should he no
further delay in reorganizing it.
In our concern for the mental de-
velopment of our children, we should
not forget the need for moral training
also. In the writer's neighborhood Il
boy who was to have graduated ut the
high school last nlonth-a bright boy
in his books-spent the commencement
period in Jail. having entered store
at night and killed its owner only a
few weeks before. Proper moral train
ing had not accompanied his mental
training
Every father or mother should ask
himself or herself if the Sunday school
is not needed to supplement the train
ing given in home and public school.
And even if Il boy learned nothing use
full in Sunday school, it might still he
| worth while for him to 30 simply he
cause the Sunday school offers an OPP
;ortunity for him to meet other boys
and girls in the right environment and
under wholesome influences. The av-
erage hoy who has nothing to do from
Sunup to shutdown every Sunday il
pretty likely to get into mischief
The moral and spiritual benefits OF
the country Sunday school. therefore
should alone insure efforts to utilize
and strengthen it. while the social and

may also he not improperly considered.
The Bible Is one of the worlds SUI
preme pieces of literature, and tn
study 1t Sunday after Sunday will con.
tribute not little to anybody's mental
growth and equipment.

Only the future will tell how the

conception Of treaties as scraps of
paper is well known. They have shown
that their national honor is not great.
They do not hesitate to break their
pledged word. But-they will think Il
long time before they will dare brave
the wrath of the Allies again. They
are beaten. and no one knows it better
than the Hun.
There have been many phases and
many circumstances which have enter
ed into this defeat Of the ravisller> Of
Europe The men who did the fighting
won the war. There is no getting away
from it, But there We're influences
working behind the soldiers and sailors
which did much to assist them to win
the victory.
Too much credit cannot he given to
the various war societies which work
ed for and with the fighting men. The
work which the Red Cross, the Saliva
ton Army, y. NJ. {. A.. Knights Of
Columbus. and like organizations did
for the men can never be Over-esti-
mated. They followed the men onto
the battle fields and miniStered unto
their wants. and they did more than
any other factor to keep up the morale
Of the men in camp and behind the
battle lines.
The press Of the country, too. de.
serves much credit. Many newspapers
donated their advertising space and
their editorial and news columns t.
war work. There never would have
been war loan put over had it not
been for the unSelfiSh work done by
the newspapers. They We're behind
every move to further the cause OF
America. and they were ever ready t.
answer any call of the government.
Now that the war is over and the vic
tory has been won let the credit b.
| given to those who deserve it. not for
getting the patriotism Of the American
people as Il whole.

Figures recently compiled for the
city of Homer and Claiborne Parish
show that the farmers of that locality
have lost $4,000 as ii result of the
weatherinS of cotton, which had be-
come rotten because of improper Stor-
age. or the lack of any storage ut all
in many instances. The farmers and
other owners of cotton in BOssier
Parish can well take Il lesson from
those of Claiborne. Thirty thousand
dollars is a heavy tax to pay to poor
farm buildings. Common sense teaches
that it would he much cheaper to pay
che hundred dollars to-day for adj
euuate storage than it would be to
lose one thousand dollars tomorrow
because the cotton had not been amply
protected from the weather. If you
are going to keep your cotton and
haven't room to protect it from the
weather. then jar loose from few
dollars and build storage room.

The Man Behind the Guns
BIZ Tom BowLES.

Back of the belching cannon.
Where battles are being fought,
Back of the ceaselcss struggle
Is iron that must be wrought.
Iron that man must master.
And shape unto his will.
To save him from disaster,
And his destiny fulfil.
Beside his forge-firc tOiling
The soldier of hammer and tonys,
\ patriot back of the anvil,
Strives for the righting of wrongs.
And into each gun and sabcr,
Each piece and part and whole.
Goes the best of his brain and labor
Ills muscles and heart and soul.
Might of the roaring cannon.
Force of the sabers thrust.
Strength of the toiling soldier!
Greatly in these We trust.
But back of them stands the blacksmith.
The master of iron and steel.
Whose Drawn and sweat and muscle,
The enemy's fate will seal.
Selected.
