Armistice Day

Governor Black has proclaimed
Tuesday, November II, as Ar
mlstice Day, the same being the
first anniversary of the signing
of the armistice that brought a
cessation of h0stiities in the
world war. This seems to be
quite peculiar in so much that
we are living at peace from the
war so long without peace terms
being yet adopted by the coun.
tries.

LAND FOR OUR BOYS.

All of the English speaking coun-
tries that have taken part in the
war are making arrangements to
send as many returning soldiers
back to the land as care to go. Can
ada has her plans we'll under way,
as have New Zealand, Australia and
the British Isles. In this country
we are just getting we'll started on
the proposition. By means of in
vestigations made by the Govern
ment it is found that we have milf
ions of acres of lands, idle lands,
lands suitable for homesteads-
acres that ought to be adding to
the worlds food supply and giving
homes to a race of independent
American farmers. The spirit OF
the whole nation is backing the pro-
posal of Secretary of the Interior
Lane to open all the available lands
of the nation, the public lands of
the country, to the soldier. He has
recalled to Congress the great part
the mustered out soldiers of the
civil war played in making the
great West. But to take this land.
15,000,000 available acres of it, and
turn it over to the soldiers will
require a Governmental -appropria-
ton. The money will be needed to
reclassify and open to entry the
lands that are lying idle. 1t is the
land of the Government and can be
made over to the returning soldier
on splendid terms if the country
will back up the proposal. What
better use could be made of a part
of the Fifth Liberty loan than this?
And to what better use could it be
placed to work for the future of
the nation?
The money in the hands of the
will make this and
other after-the-war projects of the
possible. These lands
will give homes to thousands of
soldiers home from the war.

FOLLOWS IRISH EXAMPLE.

John Mccormack, the famous
Irish tenor, became an American
citizen on ST. Patrick's day, re-
nouncing his allegiance to King
George. The ceremony was con-
Quoted by Hon. Victor ]. Bowling,
Justice of the New York Supreme
Court. Two years ago the tenor
received his first papers of citizen
ship in Philadelphia. Mccormick
celebrated the event at night in
the Hotel Commodore by singing
"The Wearing of the Green" and
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" at the
dinner of the Friendly Sons of st.
Patrick. The tenor lives on West
Fifty-seventh street, opposite Car
negie Hall, New York City. He also
has a home at Collender's Point,
Noroton, Conn, and maintains an
estate, "Greystones," in County
Wicklow, ireland. His London
house Mrs. Mccormick turned over
to the Knights of Columbus during
the war. The tenor is thirty-four
years old. He came to America in
1904 and was first presented in
opera to New York by Oscar Ham
merstein in the Manhattan Opera
House.

GOSPEL OF HEALTH.

The American Red Cross, coming
out from the tremendous duties and
obligations of its war service, faced
at once the widespread human suf-
fering caused by war. 1t found
problems of food and reconstruction
of such magnitude as must be
financed by governments. No volun-
tary organization could handle their
solution. No voluntary gifts could
entirely provide for their elimina-
ton. In turning its thought there
fore to the particular object toward
which its future activities shall be
directed it is natural that the
American Red Cross should face the
great facts and problems connected
with public health. So during the
summer thirty or more overseas
Red Cross nurses, returning to duty
at home, will proclaim a gospel of
public health, of sanitation, Of
cleanliness, of wholesomeness and
happiness

FACTS LITTLE KNOWN.

The Irish are said to be the most
moral nation in the world.
Approximately four-fifths of thl
Irish people are Roman Catholics
In 1S41 Ireland's population was
S,175,124. 1t is now but four and
a third millions.
From May l, 1851, till the end
of 1911 no less than 4,367,493
people emigrated from Ireland.
The average wage of the agri-
cultural laborer in Ireland before
the war was between SO and 81 a
week.
Gladstone's first home rule bill
was introduced in the Commons in
April, 1886, and was rejected on
second reading by 343 votes to 313.
Local government was given to
Ireland by the Conservative party
by the local government act Of
1898.
The term 'rhome rule" was in
vented by the late Prof. Galbraith,
a senior fellow of Trinity College,
Dublin.
In five years (1S46-1S51) Ire
lands loss in population, through
starvation, disease and emigration,
was 100000.
Gladstone's second home rule bill
(1893) passed the Commons by a
of thirty-four, but was
rejected by the House of Lords.
In 1851 Ireland had over a mill
ion acres sown with wheat. In
1913 this had fallen to $4,000
acres

LEAN UPON MY ARM, MOTHER.

Pray lean upon my arm, mother,
Your form is feeble now
And silvery are the locks that shade
The burrows on your brow.
Your step is not so strong, mother,
AS in the days gone by.
But strong as ever is the love
That beams within your eye.
When l was a babe, mother,
With tender love inspired
You carried me for many an hour
Until your arms were tired.
From childhood up to manhood's
years,
Though every pain and i'll
You watched me with a loving eye,
You watch my welfare still.
And shall fail you now, mother,
When all your strength has fed,
Neglect to guide your feeble steps
AS through life's vale you tread.
Your eyes are dim with age, mother,
Care lines are on your brow,
The little feet you guided once
Are strong to guide you now.
Then lean upon my arm, mother,
Henceforth life's journey through;
What you did so long for him,
Your boy will do for you.
