OF the country in favor OF universal
military training. the senate military
committee has included 1t in the army
reorganization bill reported for pas
sage. Universal training will bring
men together as representatives of
our great union on purely demo-
cratic basis and Will in every way fit
them for the duties OF citizenship.
There has been a slight misapprehen-
sion OF the effect of the training as
regards what Is termed the develop
ment of a spirit OF militarism in the
country. Six months constructive
training in a camp is not militarism.
Neither is it an opening wedge for
militarism. Militarism is as remote
from us as light from darkness. 1t
means the rule of the state by the
soldiers or military forces. With US

parents fear for the morals of their

II you want to feel you're doing something
really worth your while,
Just help a Han in trouble and then watch
him start to smile:
Take his burden on your shoulders and
relieve his weight OF care,
And stick until you've helped him from the
valley of despair.
Then when he turns to thank you with a
gratitude that's real.
1oun be surprised thar minute Just how
good 1t mikes you feel
There's such satisfaction as the salts
faction true
Which comes from helping others In the
work they have to do.
And there's no such thrill OF gladness like
that sweet and happy thrill
Which fs born Of helping others who are
trudgfng up the hill:
IL you want to know contentment and be
truly satisfied.
Just go out and help your brother when
his soul is being tried.
You can boast your selfish pleasures and
may glory in your fame.
You may think that there IN gladness In the
many joys you claim,
But you're never really certain that you're
doing things worth while

When you've done some deed Of Kindness

It's surprising mt that minute just how

The signs and proofs of renewed activity in the A.O.U.W., apparent for several months, are emphasized by the proceedings taking place in our two leading New York Lodges, Osceola of New York and Rochester of Rochester, New York. These lodges are adding new members at every lodge meeting and are continuing. this good work in a most cheering way. This activity now takes on a new phase in a challenge which has just been issued by these two New York Lodges to their Connecticut brothers feE campaign contest for new mem- bers to determine in a given period which will win out. Further partic- ulars will announced as soon as re- ceived. Farren Lodge holds the Sec ond Grand Lodge banner and if it wins twice more in succession it will be the absolute poSSeSsor of this beau tiful token. This banner contest which is on will no doubt inspire and give new and strong impetus to the membership recruiting of the New I EK Lodges. Osceola and Rochester will do their best to win. Which of our Connecticut Lodges will >ac- cept the challenge for membership contest? That will be a burning question before our Connecticut lodges. Which one, or how many of them will enter the field Very in teresting times are before the lodges in this Jurisdiction. We may be cer- tain that our fine, progressive Grand Master Workman will lend his pow erful aid to Osceola and Rochester when the membership contest is on.
