TYPIFIED SPIRIT OF FRANCE
Elderly Peasant Woman Proud That
She Had Given Three Sons to
Her Beloved Country.

"While was in France several other
boys and l were taking Sunday after
noon hike and as we approached lit
tie village we overlook a poor peas
ant woman, whose back was bent with
toll and care, whose hair was gray
with years Of suffering, slowly hob
bling along carrying heavy pair OF
wooden shoes on her feet and pushing
wheelbarrow loaded with little pieces
Of wood that she had spent hours In
gathering" says the "Flying Parson."

she, being so unaccustomed to such IA
7ors, looked at him in astonishment as

ler wood.
"Soon she was convinced he was
friendly and allowed him to push her
wheelbarrow for her. The expression
of joy and happiness that beamed
through the wrinkles Of her careworn
face l shall never forget. She insisted
that we go to her home with her. We
did, and there found an humble little

in one room, it was home, and with
in it's walls had been born and reared
three stalwart and brave sons of
France, who had given their lives for
their country. This poor woman
thought she must be poor-was happy
and proud. Proud that she had given
three sons to- the cause of France. TO
her they could not have been born for
a more noble cause. She would not
have had them die otherwise. Was
she poor? Far from it. With such
spirit no one can be poor"

SOCIALISM AND RELIGION.

The following letter written to the
Toronto Daily Globe shows how one
real Socialist feels about religion:
"Would you permit me, as the ac-
credited organizer for the socialist
party of Canada for the province of
Ontario, to give a Reputation to the
statement Of the Rev. DR.. Chown, that
Socialism is founded upon the teach
ings of Jesus The socialist position
is founded upon science, both socio-
logical and economic. AS such, it is
opposed to all religions, which we
maintain were products of given So
cial conditions. With the establish
ment of a social regime, Christianity
Judaism and all supernatural ideas
clinging to mankind will be abolished.
The socialist party of Canada is OPP
posed to the unscientific worship of
Christ, Budda or Mohamet. We do
not believe in the salvation of the
church. We oppose that idea. 1t is
far better to have the people under
stand this now than to let the confus-
ion exist or let it be disseminated in
the pulpit. Socialists cannot believe
in any supernatural God. If they do,
they are not socialists. The pamphlet
issued by the socialist party of Great
Britain on Socialism and Religion,
is the only attitude we can take up.
The church will find in US %unrelenting
foes. Christianity with it's supersti-
tions must be submerged before the
workers can obtain their complete
emancipation. That is our slogan. That
is our challenge. Far better let it be
known now and so avoid misconception
in the future. Finally, a Christian
cannot be a socialist and a socialist
cannot be a believer in Christ or God"
Moses Baritz.
Socialists may make all sorts of
excuses, but the fact remains that
Moses Baritz not only knows socialism,
but he has the courage to tell the truth
from the socialist point of view.
G.. F. GORDAN.
This definite statement by IN &C
credited socialist organizer, who ought
at least to know what socialism is and
is not, is respectfully referred to some
of our local socialist heavy-weights
who, while processing to be devout
church members on the one hand,
spend six days in the week spreading
the propaganda of socialism.

GLASGOW IS AT WORK
UPON CAMPING PARK
Park for Auto Tourists Furnised by
City-Water, Lights and Fire
places Being Installed.

The special committee on tourist
park from the chamber of commerce
and city council has completed plans
for the establishing of a tourist park
at Glasgow. The men to do the work
have been secured and started clean
ing up the site. The site secured is
city property and is located south and
east of the ball park. The extension of
water and electric lights from the
city power house to the park has been
arranged for. Toilet facilities will be
built, underbrush along the river will
be cleaned away so persons may fish
from the banks of the river.
The chamber of commerce has ap-
| piled to the federal board of fisher
les for a supply of young food fish.
1t is hoped to have the Milk river an
ideal fishing place.
The matter of a place to cook meals
has not been overlooked. 1t is the
plan of the committees to install con
crete fireplaces along the bank of the
river. There will be plenty of free
wood on hand at all times. 1t was
realized that children travelling with
a party of tourists like a change of
recreation from riding to playing, so
a children's playground is to be install
led. This accommodation will prove
a big feature of the park as the par
ents will have less trouble in keeping
the children coptented while cooking
meals or getting ready for the eve
ming comfort.
Signs will be installed along the
main highways giving instructions as
to the location of the park. This park
is not only free to tourists, but also
to farmers who come to Glasgow in
their cars to stay owe night. The
committees are doing everything in
their power to make the Glasgow park
one of the best in the country.

Humpty-Dumpty, whose taxes amount

Honesty in an individual other than
