TT IS THE CONDITION.

1t is difficult matter to turn
the clock back five years, espec-
tally if within those five years
the world has had century, s
experience of terror and wrong
and suffering and pain.
Yet if we strive to recall the
conditions five years ago we see
the nations of Europe suspicious
of each other, with fears of ag-
erosion and dread of loss, and
the United States lying isolated
across the sea, buying and sell
ing, reaping and sowing, to it's
own interests alone.
That day is over forever.
Through disaster and suffering
the new brotherhood of the
world has come into existence
"No man liveth to himself
alone" and neither can any ma
ton of the world, from this time
on, rightfully live to itself alone.
The League of Nations has
been formed. 1t is the express
sion of a truth that will become
more clear to us all as time goes
on-that after all the separate
of the world merge into
one great interest.

PRACTICE 1T AT HOME.

If the question were put sud
denly to you or to me, care you
a polite and kindly persona
We should probably answer,
"Why, yes" with little sense
of affront at the thought that we
could possibly be considered any
thing else than polite and kind
ly.
And we probably are both-to
the stranger and the casual ac-
quamtance and the friend. But
do we carry our civility into our
own family circle?
We are not speaking of direct
incivility and rudeness. That
does not enter into the question.
But is our family life based upon
essential courtesy and kindness :?
We are supposedly surrounded
in our homes with the people
whom we love best in the world.
1t is for them that we work and
toll and sacrifice. Their we'll be-
ing is worth more to us than our.
own. If trouble Or illness threat
en- them our day is darkened.
Yet is it not true that we often
fail to accord them the little
courtesies of everyday life which
we would show to the stranger
within or without our gates? Do
we give them the few words Of
kindly appreciation which would
mean so much to them? Do we
not sometimes proffer them care
less Encouragement and criti-
cism which may some day come
back to us with the force of
blow?
Suppose we hold a little pri-
vate conference with ourselves
over these questions. Let us
each-and this means you and
me-carry our outdoor courtes-
les and thoughtfulness into the
we shall find out
what a place of radiance and
charm that home may be.

they were seated in the observa-
ton car passing through the
beautiful scenery of the Canad-
ian Rockies. The child was en-
crossed in a story book and paid
such very casual attention to the
wonderful view that her father
would frequently say, "Look,
Beatrice, look - Finally with a
kind of resigned Impotence, the
little girl said, "But, father, ]
have looked!''
"A great many people have ex-
actly the child's attitude toward
the war. They have sacrificed
and they have given and they
have paid, aind why should they
need to keep on?
These people do not, realize
that the effects of war live af-
ter it, that we have to pass thru
a long vista of conditions and re
suits brought about by the war.
Rehabilitation and reconstruc-
ton as well as actual warfare
are expensive processes, and it is
up to Americans to continue pay
ing the costs. Inflated war prize
es must decrease gradually. In
come taxes will continue, and in
the spring will come Victory
loan which patriotic spirit must |
meet as it did the Liberty loans.
The outlook is that we shall |
have to exercise patience ond |
economy for some time to come.
We cannot release ourselves
from obligation by the plea,
But we have given!'

TEAM WORK.

closely illustrates your idea of
family life. Analyze the secret

er of cooperation and compro-
mise No member insists in car
rying out his own wishes regard
less of the interests and wishes
of the others. Each claims lit
tie and yields little. The real
basis of their life is a spirit of
mutual help and forbearance.
The community is only a larg-
er family. To accomplish salts
factory results there must be a
body of citizens working togeth-
er in harmony. And in order to
achieve anything worth while,
each man must not insist too
strongly upon his own wishes
and ideas. When he finds that
they conflict with the ideas of
others he must be prepared to
yield the less essential details of
his plan,--or perhips to attain
only part of his object.
If the public improvement
which he has at heart seems de-
'irable enough to warrant it, he
must be ready to support his
leighbor's pet project (if it is

must control his temper, study

There is no issue between Nez-

ALL HATS OFF TO HIM.

In his article on the American
army's entry into Germany
George Patullo, one of our really
big writer's cover there" paints
this comprehensive word picture
of the American soldier:
To watch the American col
umns advancing along the roads
into Germany would give you a
new sense of the manhood and
the might of the United States.
There is nothing that conveys
such an impression of power as
a marching column, and every
road leading toward the Rhine
has been swarming with our
troops.
The hikes were long and hard,
the chow was often irregular J;
the shoes either hurt or were
badly worn; but the doughboys
kept up to the mark. One bat
talon did forty kilometers in a
lay without dropping a man.
About the finest human speci-
nan on top of the earth is this
same American soldier-rough |
md ready, grumbling, never CIV
ng up; always able to laugh,
wen at his own plight; a holy
error in fight; ruthless to an
nemy capable Of resistance;
generous to fault to a beaten
oe; hating nobody, fearing
one; with CUTS enough to storm
AIDES, and the gentleness to win
child.
