POOR OLD DAD.

When our government declared war
Against the German Hun.
Dad said to John, it's up to US
TO put them on the run.
lad was all right. but his hair was
white,
Which wouldn't let him through.
While John was over lighting Huns
Dad done the work for two,
rad said the way to win this war
Was to work both night and morn
And ship our Allies wheat and meat
While we lived on rye and corn
When Dad kneeled at his bedside
Meath the stars and stripes un-
furled,
He did not ask for daily bread
But the freedom of the world.
John fought them like hero
And showed his Yankee grit,
But they never could have won this
If Dad hadn't done his bit
John fought the Huns in No Mans
Land,
While mother sat and knit
And Dad worked in the harvest
field;
They all have done their bit.
When the Germans saw the stars
and stripes
They didn't lose much time
In trying to save their bacon.
But they couldn't save the Rhine.
John came back with his medals
And every one was glad,
viii someone pin a medal
On the breast of poor old Dad?
Exchange.

Want Road Up
The South Fork
South Fork Road Favored by People
of Clearwater River Section
Will Tap Big Territory.

Reports from different sections
tributary to the South Fork Of the
Clearwater river seem to favor a
highway along that stream to con-
meet with the North and South high
way at Grangeville and the Lewis
and Clark highway at kooskia.
The proposed highway would fol-
low the South Fork from Kooskia
to Sites and Harpster, then to the
forest reserve line thence to Grange
Vile and give an outlet to large
territory over good road. The
highway as connecting link be
tween the two great highways
would also give the traveller an op-
portunity of using river road and
escape several high mountains dur
ing the winter months.
An organization has been per-
fected at Sites, which is be
ing used for the purpose Of having
a survey made of the proposed link
by the state engineer, and there
is no doubt but this work will b.
carried out sometime this spring.
The importance of this highway
cannot be oyerestimated, and there
must be cooperation if the high
way Is to be secured. Kooskia

"The government is again asking
the people to rally to its financial

of Idaho doing their full share,
with the same confidence it reposed

the people of their community at

Chairman Gwinn Speaks.
In the four Liberty Loan cam
paigns," said Mr.. Gwinn. Idaho has
subscribed more than $44,00O,000.
With $1,000 subscribers in the first
loan we increased until we had
111,O00 in the fourth. Including
the money we have invested in War
Savings stamps, Idaho has invested
SOL 100000 in government securi-
ties, or more than $125.00 for each
man, woman and child in our state
In announcing the Fifth Liberty
Loan, Secretary Glass of the treas
ury department says that an intens-
i've popular campaign will be con
Quoted commencing April 21, and
that the loan will not only be sub

Loan.
In his address Governor Davis
said that "in other campaigns our
boys were going away and it was an
easy matter to have community
Liberty loan meetings because ev-
eryone was interested in the boys
at the front. Now that the war
is over, however, we should be
equally interested in seeing the
boys come home. Some are coming

nomination of A. Mitchell Palmer Of

Mr.. Palmer, during the war, has
been the U. s. custodian of Alien
Property. As such he has seized aud
sold at public auction German owned
factories and industries in this coun-
try worth hundreds Of millions of
dollars. In many cases. he says.
these German owned plants were hot
beds of sedition ad treason, delib-

them. The government. he says. will.
after the war, account to the former
owners for the money received from
the sale Of their properties. but the

Fireside Talks
With Members of the Newspaper

By REV. {. B. ALLEN, D. D.
Pilgrim Congregational Church
Oak Park, Ill.

Modern society is still facing the
problems of protecting and assisting
the unfortunate. There are as many
unintentional offenders as there are
wilful offenders. Many of them
could be won back to right living if
they were separated from the vi
cious or were treated with mercy.
All of us appreciate the significance
of Lincoln's wayl During the Civil
War young lad named William
Scott fell asleep at his post. So Sc
rious for the army might be such a
neglect of duty that death was the
penalty. President Lincoln had a
long talk with the boy, and finally
said, IF pardon you, how will you
repay me?"
I'VE are poor, but think we could
raise five hundred dollars OH the
farm" was the reply.
"N1y bill is larger than that" replied
Lincoln, land there is only one way
you can pay it, and that is to promise
that from this day you will do all
you ought to be doing for your coun-
try" The boy promised and later
died for his country on the field of
battle.
1t is horrible and humiliating to
read of the way in which the mill

treated during the present war. Read

ii. Mercy.
What is mercy? When is it to be
shown? How often we must listen
to Ian MacLaren's splendid sem
tence, "Be pitiful, for every man is
fighting hard battle" So long as
we permit conditions which almost
necessitate crime, we shall be re-
sponsible for showing adequate mer-
cy along with our so-called justice.
Visit the reformatories and prisons
in your neighborhood and see what
YOU think about that matter. The
number of homicides in the United
States far exceeds that of all other
civilized countries in the world ac-
cording> to DR.. Hoskins of Syria.
Writing ten years ago he says: "Thc
most appalling feature of the situa-
tion is the fact that 9S% of such
criminals escape adequate punish
ment. The common prison has be-
come temporary City of Refuge
for wilful murderers, thus reversing
this most merciful provision OF
primitive society,""
Let us remember Him who said;

me-" How many Christian people
have visited any prison? How many
of them tried to discover the causes
which send men and women there!
