OUR SOLDIER BOYS AND THEIR
HOMECOMING.

The Sun heard !, commercial salca
man who visits Price occasionally
telling some others in the lobby of %
local hostolry 4 few evenings ago
about the people Of little town in
an adjoining state who were worried
because they had been unable 10
build sort of iiiumphal arch for
their returning soldiers. They felt
that they ought 10 show the boys some
sort of appreciation upon their re
turn, but their plans failed. And
even the editor % the weekly paper
printed IN the loNn deplorcd the fa.'-
ure. The people eli that little town,
as well rs the editor, have the wron
idea of what the huys want when the
return, according 10 our belief
The Sun feels that what these sol
der boys look Tor nov is the old
smile on mothers face, the glad hand
shake of longtime friend, the family
table with fried chicken, watermelon
preserves and real biscuits. The pee
pie need not worry for fear these
boys returning home will miss monu-
ments or triumphal arches, because
there is n greater word than praise.
And that word Is "home" There
will be celebrations for the return
ing fighters, and ,ha, is very well,
Hut where these ceremonies are All
sent they will not be missed. The boys
will be so glad 10 see mother, father
and the girls again that lhey would
not notice welcome arch If one wer,
erected.
Everything We do for the boys H.
the way of public ceremonies will be-
appreciated by them, of course. Bnt
the real thing they will look for will
be the affection wLlch will be beslow-
ed upon them m their individual
homes. And that viii be awaiting
cd upon them a their several indi-
,idual homes. Aud that will be
awaiting them whether the publ, ,
celebrates or not.

full as his first and Dr. Tanner, after 40
days of total abstinence from food, ate
a peach and slice of watermelon and
then continued to eat for Al more years
until on Dec. 30, last, his system wore
itself out and ran down at the age of
nearly IS years, In fact, DR.. Tanner had
often testified that since the two "inei.
dents" in his life he had felt better than
he ever had before and that his health
was invariably good. Most mortals think
they are doing something worth talking
about if they go without a single meal of
their own volition and if they abstain
for "a hours they are apt to pronounce
themselves as physical wonders; but
when their fasts are not maintained
much longer than that latter period they
are likely to feel their physical systems
greatly improyed-that is, persons of
normal vitality, Their experience, on
top Of the great experiments of DIR. Tan
ner, are contributory evidence that we
really eat too much, that we live too
much for our stomach's sake. 1t is a
good thing now and then to give our
stomaohs vacation just as we give our
minds and muscles.

Rural Development.

Rev. William Shaw, one of the strong
men of the Methodist denomination in
Vermont, in an address at Montpelier,
said:
"The rural population Of New Eng
land is practically static. Lack of op-
portunity sends the young people to the
city and the community life thus i'm.
poyerished deteriorates both intellectual
ly and socially.
"The church is planning to meet this
situation by establishing adequate CEN
ters of training and education for the
rural young people. Efficient churches
are to be established in the scores of
small towns where no church services are
held.
"The church will provide rural work
ers for sparsely settled sections, who will
infuse new life and ideals into the i'm.
poverished life Of the community
Morgan memorials are to be estab-
lished in several cities, which will have
public forums, schools and religious edu-
cation, and recreational facilities for
the young people, to meet the need in
the congested districts"
The truth Of Rev. Mr. Shaw's remarks
is not questioned and the work for the
benefit Of rural young people Is unques-
tionably needed, A few days ago the
Reformer published the plan of the Ma
tional Security league for improving the
rural schools and every few days public
speakers are prescribing remedies for ru-
raj conditions. All this is good as it
shows a desire Of all people to serve
people living in rural communities. But
we cannot help remembering that too
many cooks are just as dangerous for
the broth as they were years ago, The
church should not attempt to reform ru-
raj communities alone, nor should the
National Security league or any of the
organizations that are discussing the
matter. Rural communities are not large
enough to assimilate such a variety of
topics.
The churches, leagues, oranges, club
promoters and others should get together
and formulate a joint program for de-
veloping rural life and establishing one
strong unified agency for each communi-
ty large enough to sustain the work.
This will bring better results than too
many Independent agencies struggling
so hard to exist that they can be Of little
service to the community so sparsely set
tied they cannot advance by themselves.

The bombing outrage in Philadelphia
last Monday night in which the homes Of
three prominent men were wrecked may
be taken as flashing out of the spirit
of human passion that has been dominat-
ing some parts of Europe during the lat
ter part of the war. The collapse of or
ganized government in several of the
once great nations was the signal for the
unleashing of this passion and the dis
fractions of the war were a contributing
influence to the temporary success of the
movement There is no doubt that the
seeds of similar discomfort have been
sown in some parts of the United States
and that there are likely to be manifes-
tations until such time as organized So
ciety shall again have gained the asoen-
dancy in the world 1t is probable, too,
that the discomfort is being fostered in
part by those whose allegiance to some
enemy country has caused them to work
for damage to the United States. A
firm, fair hand is needed to handle the
situation,

A LONG WINTER FOR OUR OVER
SEAS FORCES.

SEAS fUhCEO,
The United States government and
some of the organizations doing war
work have not overlooked the American
forces which are compelled to winter in
the cold regions of northern Russia; and
one of the arrangements made for the
comfort of the men is q suficj mt library
of books, magazines, etc, la which the
soldiers can busy themselves during the
long days Of their comparative inactivity.
Removed so many thousands of miles
from their homes and dwelling in a land
far more foreign to them than the places
where our other American forces are
gathered, they deserve to receive all the
helpful pleasures which it is possible to
put in their way. Relatives of the men
now quartered in northern Russia for
their long winter Information will surely
do their part to relieve the monotony of
life there by writing frequent letters in
the hope that way can be provided for
the men to receive the letters. We have
il from the soldiers who have been in
France that the greatest pleasure for
them was to receive letters from home,
particularly letters which were honey"
and Of good cheer Those who continue
to remain in western Europe will not be
forgotten during the winter months. The
boys in Russia ought to be encouraged
by letters if it is possible to reach them
in that way.

THE NEW YEARS BRIGHT PROMISE

THE NEW YEARS BRIGHT PROMISE.
1t is indeed a new year on the thresh-
old of which the world stands to-day. In
stead of the drab outlook of the year
1918 there CLEANS a year made bright by
the prospects of a world peace. Instead
of the blood orgies of the year just past
there is every indication of a glorious
amity of nations. Even now, though it
is less than two months since the signing
of the armistice, hatred's sharp edge is
being dulled and men are looking upon
each other with more kindly spirit, and
nations are getting ready to live and let
live. The accomplishment of the prom
Uses held out before the world may not
be secured without much travail of spirit
and without considerable pickering; but
the tendency toward peaceful relations of
the whole world cannot be turned aside
So one can confidently believe that the
dark night is passing and that the year
1918, which was shrouded in the awful
deeds of men, win give place to year of
splendid promise for the advancement of
the world in the things which make for
the betterment of mankind. The year
1919 bids fair to be one of the best the
world has ever known, and we one and
all should attune our hearts and minds to
act in harmony with the higher and bet
ter things Of life.

tasted for 40 days and then, to remove
the doubts of many people, went through
the same performance While he was do

if he survived the ordeal of the lack Of

he attempted to swallow food, But DR..

Or to keep back the price and thus retard

To teach, perchance to educate; aye,

Never did my spirit fear
