HUNGER.

Life begins with an expression of
hunger in the cry of the baby. And all
thru the years to follow does this
power assert itself.
But We eat only that we may live
to give from the storehouse of our
getting.
1t is that way with all other kinds
of hunger-the craving for mental and
spiritual food. for instan nee Always
are We hungering and thirsting after
that which we so much lack. And II
is to our credit that We do get hungry.
\ We should not be satisfied with a
limited diet when it comes to fulfill
ing the hunger of the mind or heart.
All folks are so much akin that
those with an abundance of wealth
should be quick to share with others
from their stores-not money-wealth
but love-wealth. mind-wealth. expert
ence-wealth, and all the other kinds
of wealth that are common in greater
or less degree. to all.

Hoover's Colonel House" and Barnes
declares that Hoover is Republican.
In the existing disturbed conditions of
politics It is well to have one thing
settled. But it is recalled by Republi-
cans that Hoover is reported to have
voted for Wilson as did many other
members of the party, and that he en-
dorsed the presidents appeal for a
Democrat congress, an appeal which
made the opposition hopping mad.

The seeming determination of both
political parties to go before the coun-
try on the issue of the peace treaty
may be due to a fear of both to cam
paign on questions of more direct
interest to the people. Time has been
when under similar conditions they
fell back on the tariff. The advan-
tage in this course lay in the fact that
nobody knew anything about the
tariff. Probably the public knows as
little about the peace treaty.
