Don't Worry About Your Clothes.
Harold dreaded to go to school be-
cause he had only his I'D suit to
wear. 1t was to be a Washington
Birthday celebration, ami the super
intendent of schools was to visit Har-
ODDS class. Harold's suit was faded
but he had brushed it very carefully
He blackened his boots, but the edge
of his trousers were frayed
The other boys and girls wore their
best suits and new neckties and rib
bons. Even the schoolGocr was dress
ed up for the day with flags of red
white and blue bunting. Harold felt
ashamed as he took his seat.
The door of the classroom opened
and the superintendents came in and
took their places on the platform.
rs there d BOY or girl here who can
recite The Star Spangled Banner
without making mistake?" one ask
ed
Harold forgot his old suit and his
hand went up very high. The others
hesitated, they were not sure of all the
verses.
Harold went up and stood on the
platform. He recited every word OF
the beautiful American anthem to the
last line, and how the children clap
ped their hands when he finished. Nc
one thought of Harolds old clothes.
No one will think of your clothes
either. if you are able 10 do some

CHEEKY because she cheered them, and
they call her mother Grandma be-
cause she is as old as a grandma.
Sometimes she would bring in a
tray full of doughnuts. The boys
would grab a choice doughnut. and
gobble it down, and, then wait for
another
After they ate the doughnuts they
went to sleep. Then Mrs. Demoines
went to the store. When she was
nearly there she met a private she had
nursed. He said:
Hello, How are you, Grardma?"
Hello yourself! l don't seem to

Last week we had an entertainment
! here, in which seven children made
| four minute speeches." and I was one
| of the seven. These speeches we had
to write ourselves and this is what l
| spoke:
Why IS the Red Cross not taken
over by the government, since its work
/ is essential to the conduct of the war?
! The government as you know has
( taken over the control of the steam
| ship lines making of uniforms for the
| heroes who are fighting for us, ship
| building yards, railroads. and the food
regulations, so that tn boys can have
something good and sweet to make
/ them laugh and good spirited after be-
! ing on the firing lines for so long.
! But why has it not taken the Red
| Cross organization also, since its
! work is essential to the conduct of the
war?
First. because It is an interna tional
ORGANIZATION, tia s. each country has

needy, COmforted those in sorrow and
healed the sick and disabled.
Do you not think the Red Cross has
practically the same qualities? The
answer is, Yes! Even the Germans
bow to it at the present moment.
The other day, the Germans praised
the women in white with the Red
crosses on their caps as they came in
10 Germany to feed the half starved
wretches.
DO you not see that the government
cannot tend and take it over for a
part Of their work. Christ was not
ruled by any government, and so it is
with the Red Cross.
Then again, men would have to be
paid large salaries every year by the
government fer going from place to
place to plan and do the numerous
I things this society does.
Now surely you, as a mother Of an

An Afternoon in January.

AS I stood by my window late one
afternoon in January, looking over a.
vast expanse Of country and watching
the low hung gray clouds and the
noiseless work Of the sky and the tall
trees with wide spreading, gnarled
branches, creakins and swaying in the
fierce wind I thought of how many
homes had been left desolate and how
many mounds were being covered

By and by the troops of merry chill
