1T is better not to know so many things than to

this text to the Rev. Dr. Crowther. If he will med-
tate 1t, he will not become quite pitiful the
next time he attempts to argue the Japanese
question.

make it quit telling the truth to protect American
ism, then the doctor is blind and his words are as
sounding brass and tnkling cymbals.
Blind leaders of the blind, tumbling into the ditch
that about expresses it.
But matter what pseudo religious boycotts may
be urged by the bigoted or countenanced by the
selfish interests who would ruin Seattle if they could
thereby profit, The Star will continue to tell the

 And now it's all coming back to us in patriotic service" says Miss Under hill Their schools, for which we worked so hard, have taught them cit izenship, and that means patriotism. They are not quite sure just what Lib erty Bonds mean, but they realize that they express in some way a personal contribution to the government, and they are eager to serve their country in whatever way they can.
 Hearing there was to be a new Lib erty Loan drive, there trooped into the primitive office of one of the teachers the other day a weary looking man fol- lowed by sixteen half grown, gawky boys and girls. He was wearing a Red Cross button and said: T ain't able to buy them Liberty Bonds, like you-al, but pushing the group for ward, here's all my young uns and a lot of my neighbors' too.
