"THE DAY"

4 LII over Pennsylvania-inc cities
u and towns and hamlets: by
hillside and hillside, on the
mountain and on the plain, there
are houses, large and small, preten-
tious and humble. on which q new
glofy has fallen. And in them there
are mothers and wives who sing as
they go about their daily tasks. The
happiness radiates in joyousness
from their eyes.
These homesteads are being made
ready for great event. House.
cleaning is taking on added impor-
tance. New furniture is being
bought. The curtains are being
washed. The rugs are being cleaned.
And HIS room is being made ready
for his coming. HIS clothing is be-
ing laid out HIS favorite books
are being taken from their long
resting places in the library cases
and placed within easy reach, and
HIS favorite dishes are being dis

turn.
And out in the field, or in the
office, or the store, or the factory,
or on the railroad, men with gray
in their hair are smiling the
wrinkles of worry out of their faces.
They are carrying themselves just
bit more proudly, and there is a
jauntiness in their carriage that you
would not have noted during the
trying hours when the old National
Guard of Pennsylvania was at grips
with the Germans before Chateau
Thierry and during the grim days
that followed. Here and there one
of them is fixing up HIS fishing
tackle, or seeing to it that the boy S
favorite buggy" is oiled and var
nished, or that "the car" is in first
rate order; and as he figures over
his old handbook he is telling him
self that the lad has earned a
darned good time, and he's going
to have it If it busts the household.
For THE DAY is at hand.
The boys of the Twenty Eighth
are on their way home The Key
stone Division has sailed, and the
day-THE DAY-for which thou
sands of fathers, and mothers, and
wives have been praying for more
than two years, is about to dawn
THE DAY-and Pennsylvania is
getting ready to do it justice.

FINISH THE BRIDGE
Americas Call For the Fifth +@vi'

Americas Call For the Fifth "Vic-
tory" Liberty Loan
Ho! finish the bridge that we started
to build,
The Victory Bridge.
Wake! workers get busy, your coun-
try has willed
Freedom shall live.
OF its arches five, we have builded
but four,
Can we default?
No, our heroes are coming, Just one
arch more,
Will finish the bridge.
Up with your flags, down with your
dollars to build
The Victory Bridge;
Hear ye the cry that comes from
our manned and killed,
Freedom must live;
America calls to her millions of sons,
Can We refuse?
Up! hasten the tread of your home
coming ones
And, finish the bridge.
Ye who have. dwelt in safety at
home must build
The Victory Bridge,
Ye who said.-your feet we'll shod
and stomachs filled,
Freedom shall live"
Up with your flags, down with your
dollars this day,
For, writ in blood,
Wet with tears of the world is the
bill we pay
To finish the bridge.
Shall they of the future say we fail
to build
The Victory Bridge?
Shall our hearts and our hands that
are strong and skilled
Halt or delay?
When from hearts that are cold and
hands that are still,
Cometh the call,
Women and men of to-day you can
and will
Now finish the bridge.
Yes! dwellers in ocean depths for
you we build
The Victory Bridge;
Yes! sleepers in Flanders fields, ye
who have willed
We of your kin will cherish the
Freedom shall live,
trust you gave,
And should need be,
We too can die for all that you died
to save;
We'll finish the bridge.

delphia Inquirer.

THE REVISED COVENANT

"HE revised covenant of the pro-
posed League of Nations differs
in so many respects from the
original document that doubtless
most of those who opposed it will
now be found among it's supporters,
or if not that, at least many of their
most serious objections will be with
drawn. But for those who fear that
the league will be a constant irrita-
ton in America by reason of the
pledge we take-if the Senate rati-
fies the agreement-to maintain the
integrity of existing nations within
the protection of the league, the
main objection still stands. Sec
ton 10 of the covenant remains un-
changed. If we go into the league
we go in with our armies as well as
our moral support. If the nations
do not behave we guarantee to help
make them behave, and so may be
stacking up for ourselves all the
troubles of a member of an interna-
tional police force. But the league
is as nothing without some such
provision, so we must have it that
way or reject it altogether.
Unquestionably, both President
Wilson and those who have been at
work with him on the covenant have
made a number of important con-
cessions to public opinion in Amer
ice. The Monroe doctrine has been
officially recognized and questions of
migration-are dropped entirely.
These make the covenant more ac-
ceptable, and in all likelihood it will

A Great Difference

A noted physician, particularly ex-
peditious in examining and prescrib-
ing for his patients, was sought out
by an army man whom he polished
OFF, in almost less than no time. AS
the patient was leaving he shook
hands heartily with the doctor and
said:
at am especially glad to have met
you, as have often heard my
father, Colonel Blank, speak of you"
What" exclaimed the physician,
"are you old Toms SOM"
Certainly"
"My dear fellow" cried the doc
tor, fling that internal prescription
in the fire and sit down and tell me
what is the matter with you."-From
Harper's Magazine.

muster enough votes IN tho Senate
TO carry it through.
But the fact stin remains that If
President Wilson had left his league
until after the making of the peace
treaty, we should now be at peace
with Central Europe and well along
in the reconstruction period. The
world is still marking time and will
until peace is finally negotiated
Whatever benefits may come from
the Peace League would have been
forthcoming at all events. The thing
that is pressing is not q league to
preserve a peace that does not now
exist, but peace itself.

in Victory bonds.
Why?
Because you are receiving not
more than four per cent and for the
most part only three per cent on
your savings bank accounts.
This money invested in Victory
bonds would earn you four and
three-fourth per cent.
If you don't take advantage of
this condition the banks will. and
they will buy bonds with the money
you have in savings accounts, pay
ing you three or four per cent. and
keeping the other three-fourths or
one and three-fourths per cent, as
the case may be, for themselves.
You can't blame the banks for
that.
Making money is their business.
They are bound to do it or fail.
But don't let them make money
which you can make and which you
ought to make.
Invest your savings in Victory
bonds.

The Anchored Surgeons

With the decks fitting to an angle
of thirty eight degrees, two surgeons
on a troopship performed a delicate
operation requiring two hours, there
by saving the life of an American
soldier. The patient on the operat-
ing table was held in position by
several sailors, while six more sailors
anchored the surgeons firmly against
the table.-From the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

PHILADELPHIA TROUBLES

ARRISBURG is the objective
n to-day of a strong force of
charter revisionists from Phil
adelpha whose purpose is to per-
suade the lawmakers on Capitol Hill
of the Importance and necessity of
passing a group of bills which have
been under consideration for several
weeks. The average legislator is
usually Indifferent to these munich
pal controversies, especially as they
affect the metropolis of the State,
and mainly because they involve
political or factional disturbance,
but in the present instance there is
a different attitude on the part of
representatives of districts outside
the larger cities. They begin to
manifest interest based upon the in
creasing demand of the people gen.
orally for a change of conditions in
Philadelphia. Being the chief city
of the Commonwealth and it's only

cherished institutions-the men who

who are suffering from lack of food

His legs were bare and his shoes were

thrown away. He did not seem cold,

A boy, who looked to be about IL
years old, drifted into Tucumcari a
few days ago from San Jon. He said
he came to San Jon from Clovis and
made the trip on a burro. The burro
died and he managed to get to Tucum-
carl. He asked for work bu. there
vas nothing he was especially fitted
to do. He was hired to do errands
but his pay did not amount to enough
to feed and house him so he did the
best he could and seemed cheerful.
He said he had not slept in a real
bed for a week and did not know how
he would manage to get by. He hap
pened to come into IA local restaurant
where he was engaged in conversation
with a farmer from neal San Jon, Mr..
Gates. Mr.. Gates asked him IL he
would like to have a home where he
could 20 to school, where he could do
a few chores and live like other boys,
He was willing and Mr.. Gates made
arrangements to take him home with
him Wednesday. This boy will now
have an opportunity to make a man
out Of himself instead of being cuffed
and kicked around, going from bad
to worse until the ultimate outcome
of most similar cases-the pen.
