vice men are perfectly easy to cheer. But in
certain parts of our country at least, the words
'sold soldier" had become a term of reproach by
1886 How will it be in 1888? Past devotion, past

Peace releases men, not only to better things,
but also to meanness and triviality and the low
pursuit of their own aims. For little we can feel
on some Memorial Day the greatness of that free

too becomes no more than day when lot OF US

men to fight for US is our treatment of men who

SCHOOL TEACHERS

4 SCHOOL teacher is a person who teaches
n things to people when they are young. The
teacher comes to school at $3.50 o'clock,
and when she has gotten enough children for
a mess in her room, she teaches them reading,
writing, geography, grammar, arithmetic, music
drawing. cooking board saving, crocheting, deep
breathing, bird calls, scientific eating patriotism,
plain and fancy bathing, forestry, cyics, and 9TH
er sciences too numerous to mention. When
school is out, she stays behind with five or six
Of her worst scholars and tries to save the state
the job of reforming them later After that
she hurries home to make herself new dress and
snatch a hasty supper before going back to at
tend lecture by an imported specialist on the
history of tribal law in Patagonia, which the sup
erintendent thinks may give her some informa-
ton which may be useful in her school work some
day. A great many lecturers roam the country
preying on school teachers, and some of them are
very cruel talking to them so long that the poor
things have to sit up until morning, when they
get home, to get their daily test papers correct
ed
School teachers salaries range from $50
month up-but not far enough up to make them
dizzy. On her salary, the teacher must dress
nicely, buy herself things for her work which the
city is too poor to get go to 20 lectures and con-
certs a year. buy helpful books on pedagogy, pay
her way to district, county and state Institutes,
and enjoy herself during a three months vaca-
ton which her salary takes every year. In addl-
ton, the teacher is supposed to hoard away vast
sums of money, so that when she becomes too ner-
nervous and cross to teach, at the age of 30 or
thereabouts she can retire and live happily ever
after on her income Philadelphia Bulletin.

A VITAL QUESTION

vuYERE we really worth fighting for2
M It will be we'll for each of us to ponder
w that question before the opening of the
Victory Liberty Loan on April Fl.
The answer will be the size of our subscription
to that loan, not in dollars but in proportion TO
our financial ability
Over and over the story comes to us from those
who are now coming back of how, in the mud and
suffering of the trenches; in the long she'll shat
tered silences Of the watches; in the short, sharp
struggles; in the endless monotony of training
and waiting and working; in the shell holes and
on the hospital cots, the cheerful sustaining
thought was of the folks at home.
Service Of country and for an ideal meant to the
average only protection and service for the "home
folks" Gallant performances were easy because
they would please the dear across the Allan
tic. Over and above and through all the hercism
ran the thought of doing credit to those whom they
were fighting for and were willing to die for.
With childish eagerness, strong men waited for
and devoured news from home. With high strung
nerves they listened to reports of the progress
of former Liberty Loan drives and when they heard
how the "home folks" went tower the top, those
boys went back to their grim business of war
with renewed courage and with the smiles that the
enemy never could fathom or stand against.
Now our soldiers have done their part. They
have finished their job. Some of them will never
come back to US. The others are returning to
those they fought for.
But OUR job isn't finished until sthe United
States has honorably met every commitment made
in order to win the war" We will not be honora-
bly, discharged until we have loaned our govern
ment the money it must have to end this war and
secure for us and the whole world lasting peace
Are we going to refuse to answer this call of
duty?
Are we going to refuse to make permanent the
benefits our boys fought and died to win for us
Are we going to quit under fire? If we do, can
we face those boys grown into men on the battle
fields of Europe? Can we welcome them home
and call them comrades?
They fought for us. Were we worth fighting
for?
The history of the Victory Liberty Loan will
record that answer.

A CONTINUOUS THRIFT CAMPAIGN

Tr HERE is abundant evidence that thrift cam
paigns, such as were carried on during the
war, should continue as permanent Gus
tom. If any country on earth is an earners' para
disc, it is America.
Reports come from Eastern cities, where mum
ition factories were abundant and wages liberal,
that men who were earning ten or twelve dol
lars day, are now seeking charity's aid These
men are spendthrifts, but the average mans fin
ancial condition is reported far below what should
be looked for under high-wage conditions.
Charging off all the discount due to the I'M
naturally high cost of living, there is yet bal
ance of earnings not reasonably accounted for. it
has gone largely for immediate enjoyment So
long as better income means primarily better
time this evening rather than better working
capital for tomorrow, the wealth of the world
will continue mostly in the hands of men who
value it highly.
Few men ever founded a fortune, great or
small, who did not found it in self-denial. It is
a hard thing to save when earning. 1t is harder
to save when earning more But it is harder yet
to want when earning days are past Minneapo-
lis.

THE RECRUIT.
National Army

I used to wake up with sticky tongue
And an eye that was dull and red,
And the song that the early brides sung
/ heard on my way to bed;
But now jump with the reveille
And my eyes are bright and clear.
And thank my lucky stars each day
That the government brought me here
/ used to be mean as a hermit crab
Till I'd swallowed my morning drink,
But now that I'm wearing the Olive Drab
I'm blthe as bobolink
For the fresh air thrills through my throat and
chest
And just want to shout and roar,
And life has a SAVIOR, zip, zest
That never have known before.
I used to be flabby and soft and white
When I sat at desk in town,
But since I've been learning the way to fight
I'm husky and hard and brown.
1t took cocktail to make me eat
The choicest of food, but now
You watch me march to mess-shack seat
And wade through the army chow.
So smile sort of shame-faced smile
When think how pied exempt,
And I'm glad that the board saw through my
guile
With a glance of cool contempt;
And though / may perish across the seas,
I'll be one of a splendid clan,
For the army's taken piece of cheese
And made it into Man!
