REMEMBER THEM!

We of America who are well fed, well clotneo
and well housed, can hardly imagine the suffering
that exists among the poor people ana cnlloren
Of Europe at the present time
Every man whose heart has not turned TO seone
shond endeavor to do his part toward relieving
the deplorable condition in which the starving
children of Europe find themselves.
Il is no fault of the children that they are az
deaths door. They were not responsible Tor the
war. They had no voice in bringing about the
nresent conditions-but nevertheless they are tne
verv first to suffer. Your dollars will greatly ala
in alternating this condition. The next time you
sit down at your table, laden with good things Tor
the inner man, just give thought to those multi,
tudes Of children who are dying for want OF bread
and we imagine that you will not enjoy anotner
meal until you have done something Tor the nome
less and helpless ones-Fred Hadley

In it's desire to furnish it's own people and the
public at large with gymnasium, the Methodist
church is undertaking big thing and The Herald
wants to express the hope and belief that the new
institution will prove success. Ever since the
Methodist church got out of debt last year we
have been fearful Of its success, but faith is
again restored and we know that the good work
of the church will go on. You know, a Methodist
church is not supposed to be doing anything unless
it has church debt. Success to the recreation
buildng.-Grandview (Wash) Herald.

Theo. Christianson, of Dawson, has one of
the most unenviable jobs in the state at the
present time. Mr. Christensen is chairman
of the appropriations committee in the legis-
lature and that position is far from being a
bed of roses. The country people are look
ing for economy this year. They want every
thing pared down to the lowest possible dol
lar and from the looks of things they are
going to get just what they want as there is
going to be an awful pairing of proposed APP
preparations by this committee. Mr.. Christian
son by legislative experience and training
makes most capable head for this important
committee.-Lake Wilson Pilot.

The house committee on roads and highways of
the Minnesota legislature voted recently, twen-
ty-three to six, against the plan Of having COM
mission of three to carry out the highway pro-
gram and for the plan Of having commissioner
handle it. The plan Of having five unpaid men
to do the work Of one wellpaid man who is quite
capable Of earning every cent of his pay, didn't
analyze well when it was considered by the men,
bers Of the committee. just what the House and
Senate will do with it of course still remains a
matter Of conjecture, but if the legislative is
well to the ground it can easily inform itself that
sentiment against the commission idea is constant
" increasing The rural districts are also getting
a bit interested in the game Of figuring out just
what behind this commission plan anyway

There are not many mans-size jobs we would
back away from, but certainly going to

to serve on jury as a bill introduced into the
state senate last week provides that the women
of Minnesota shall serve. We would not shrk any
necessary duties of the citizenship we are so
proud to possess, but men take kindly to jury du-
ty, so why should women intrude To the ma jor-
ity of women the work will be extremely distaste-
full especially if the juries are mixed" (P S..

The National House of Representatives has de-
cided by very emphatic vote, not to increase its
membership. That is indeed wise decision The
House is already so large to be unwieldy and
there is certainly not enough accredited benefit
to the proposed increase to justify the lavish
increase in expense. Sooner or later the House
will get real brave and decrease the present men,
bership, realizing that it is quality and not quaint
ty that is necessary in this law-making body.

THE OPTIMIST.

Gee Whiz, my luck is scandalous-
A cyclone came last fall
And blew my chicken-coop away
And / was like to bawl;
But yesterday the paper says
How eggs is down so low
And chicken meat SO gol-durn cheap
The poultry men don't know
How they can keep their trousers patched
And me sittin' here
Not having to take any loss
Since that big storm last year.

THE BAPTISM.

4 (C0pyrlght by FRANK Crane.J
~ LARICE had baby It was the wonder Of
the island. From the old fisherman down
by the beach to the Honorable Joneses and
Walkers up at the big hotel the baby was the
subject of intense discussion. For everybody lik-
ed Clarice and her husband, who was play-actor,
and the baby was an AIMING compound of the
excellencies of both.
Clarice wanted the baby baptized. No priest
or minister could be found on the island. Gust
the same, 1 shall have the baby baptized said
She "I'll have Berriman do it." Berriman was
a poet, past sixty, and a beautiful failure Physi-
cally he lived on the crusts and edges of things;
spiritually he ate Of the heart of the world
So one afternoon they had the christening. And
Berriman, the poet, spoke saying:
"Beloved friends, we are here gathered, in the
sight of God and in the presence of these witness
es to baptize this child.
Baptism is the application Of water to the hui
man body, solemnly and formally, as symbol OF
the cleansing of the SOUL 1t is most ancient rite
and is found in all religions.

membership of the elect.
'There has always been superior few, an
aristocracy in the world.
"There is the apparent or so-called arlstocracy,
who as rule are not superior at all; and there IS
the real aristocracy, who are secret order known
to themselves only.
eve are here to baptize this baby into the real
elect the real upper-tendonl, the real church, or
ecclesia, or caled-out.
ave therefore consecrate ourselves to teach
this child to take the upper thought as to all
things.
"To her flowers shall not be mere plants, but
Gods thoughts.
tTo her stars shall be more than burning
worlds; they shall be eyes of mystery
s.To her men shall not be brutes, whose labor is
to be exploited; they shall be brothers, prophets,
spirit flames.
"To her the sex feeling, when it comes, shall be
as a lily which, though its roots grow in common
SOIL yet lifts its pure petals to perfume the ar TO
make glad the garden, and to greet the sun.
"To her, events shall not be as the shaking OF
dice. the fortuity of chance; but they shall be
meaningful moves Of the intelligence of destiny
which guides men and things by its own perfect
plan.
eve consecrate this child to reverence and
against flippancy; to justice, and against all hes;
to loyalty, and against deception; to love, ana
against all kinds of hate; to patience, and against
netnlance: to beauty and against ugliness; to
greatness of mind of heart and of soul, and the
world and to the fellowship Of the entire human
race against all littleness and narrowness to the
citizenship of and against all clans, exclusive
sects, cliques and cults
"And this little citizen OF the world ana helress
of the future we commend unto that GOD VINO mas
made no thing common, and to that Master VINO
loved no less than the whole world

The Knights of Columbus have had another idea
entirely worthy of the high ideals of this organi-
cation. They have about half million dollars,
still unspent, of their share of the War Fund
which was raised by the campaign of the seven
leading organizations. This fund the Knights
are willing to give to Mr. Hoover to use in his
European Relief Work, provided the other organ-
cations are willing to do the same. It is said that
the total still unspent of this War Fund amounts
to about five million dollars. We can think of no
better use for this money which was raised for
war work than that it should be expended upon
these European children who are the most pathetic
victims Of the war.

We hope-and we speak with all the seriousness
of which we are capable-that never again shall
the Star Spangled Banner be submitted to the
indignity of being sung to Redwood Falls audi
ence! There can be greater insult to this beau
tiful national air than shown it, by the gath
ering Of nearly five hundred persons at the Ar
mory last Wednesday evening. So far as we
could see the only persons in that audience who
were paying the traditional respect of attention to
the words of the song were ex-service men, the
chorus and the few small children present. It is
small thing in itself but tremendously big in
that it shows that Redwood Falls audience is
absolutely without conception of the niceties Of
behavior which an audience should possess.
