$500 IN CASH PRIEST
For Overseas Experiences

Nearly every lad who went over
seas has an interesting story to tell
pathetic, amusing, or tender-of
some child in France. Perhaps it is
little Pierre who crept in to eat with
him at mess; or Marceline whom he
found white-faced and terror-strick-
en-, in the cellar of ruined house; or
Henri, whose father was killed in the
trenches and whose mother was taken
to Germany by the enemy; or it may
have been Aimee who insisted on be-
ing adopted by the "Americaine." At
any rate there is always a story and a
child.
For such stories as these, or simple
ones telling of the friendship between
the French child and the American
soldier, 178 cash prizes are offered.
Soldiers, sailors, marines, men and
women who were in France during
the war in any capacity, or their
families, sweethearts or friends, are
invited to compete for these prizes.
Literary ability is not required Any
body who can write letter home can
write well enough for the purpose of
this contest. Conditions of the con-
test can be secured by writing "The
Fatherless Children of France, Room
634, 40 S Mishigan Ave, Chicago"
There is no expense attached to en-
tering the contest, which is open to
anybody who wants to compete.
Mothers, sisters, sweethearts and
wives should turn over there letters
from Bill or Tom or Jack which they
have been so proudly treasuring, and
hunt up the references to the little
French children. Just some one lit
tie incident told simply in a letter
may win a prize!

Our Infant industries of Today.


Long ago a railroad official made
speech in which he said that the COM
pany to which he was attached was
called a monopoly. He added GA
monopoly is like baby. Every man
is opposed to it on general principles
till he gets one of his own"
For more than half century the
noiser if not always the more numer-
Gus Democrats worried over every
new industry that grew up on our
soil. They were sure that the baby
would die, or that the cradle would
upset, or that it would cost too much
to feed the nursing. It positively
shocked them when capital earned
dividends, when mechanics earned
wages, when wage earners built
homes. The growth of steel plants,
of potteries, of textile works, of glass
establishments distressed them At
the present prices of old paper the
editorials and speeches insisting that
American tinplate would never sue

was planned for at one of the confer
'ences of the celebration. In. the
Methodist church alone it is planned
to convert 100000 persons to Chris
tianity in the next year.
The expenses OF the celebration be-
ing held at Columbus are not being
paid from the funds raised from the
centenary drive. Some of the rich
members Of the Methodist church
contributed enough to pay for the
expenses of the drive and the big eel
ebration on its successful completion
at Columbus.-Ex.

coed would never bring the equiva-
lent of a number of handsome motor
cars. In fact, they made such an out
cry against new industries that Re-
publican President of more amiability
than aggressiveness shrank from a
Tariff policy that meant extension
and expansion. During the Europe
an war, however the country was cut
off from German sourses of chemical
supply. We had to hunt around for
substitutes, and a new chemical sec
ton came into being. Now the
whole party is proud of the new in
FAINT, and every leader sees that some
thing must be done for it. The De-
mocratic party has baby of its own.
1t wanted to smother other babies, or
TO leave them out of doors on cold
nights or, like Punch, to throw them
out of the window; but its own baby
must be guarded from everything
made in Germany. We do not blame
the party for standing up for its own
child. Pride in the first tooth, ecst-
acy over the first word, frenzied joy
when the infant begins to walk
are natural. Still, all these de-
mOnstrations of fondness and pride
raise the question, 'why did you want
to kill the babies in other days?" If
Mr.. Rerfeld, and Mr.. Marshall, and
Mr.. Wilson are godfathers nowadays,
Morrill, and Kelley, Mckinley and
Dingley were godfathers to many
promising infants.
Just now the cry, "See our new
baby is shrill, possibly too shrill.
Only short time ago the new born
one lay in the cradle without any lull-
ably. One prominent Democrat pro-
tested agaist taking any special care
of the infant lest the logic of events
should compel other forms of Pfotec-
ton. There was fear that the spec
ial recognition Of one baby would
cause trouble. Hence the dyestuffs
measure was rather grudging than
cordial. If the dye stuffs industry
did not reach a certain output by a
certain time it was to be thrown out
in the rain as if it had been a repub-
lican baby. This was a trif1e harsh.
An infants growth may be halted by
fevers or chills-it does not seem ten
der or parental to lay down a regid
requirement or else pitch the child in
to the Potomac.
We know excellent parents who
talk rather lengthily about their bab-
les, yet none of these acquaintance
of ours tried to suffocate babies in
their families. The Democratic posi-
ton seems to be that no baby indus
try has a right to live unless it is born
under a Democratic administration.
