Kansas City Post: What is a
Friend?
will tell you. 1t is person with
whom you dare to be yourself.
Your soul can go naked with him.
He seems to ask Of you to put on
nothing. only to be what you are. He
does not want you to be better OF
worse. When you are with him you
feel as a prisoner feels who has been
declared innocent. You do not have
to be on your guard. You can say what
YOU think as long as it is genuinely
you.
He understands those contradictions
i'm your nature that lead others to mis-
judge you. With him you breathe
free. You can take off your coat and
loosen your collar. You can avOw your
little vanities and envies and hates and
vicious sparks, your meanness and alb
surdities, and in opening them up to
him they are lost. dissolved on the
white ocean of his loyalty.
He understands.
You do not have to be careful. You
can abuse him-neglect him-tolerate
him. He likes you. He is like fire that
purges all you do. He is like water
that cleanses all you say. He is like
wine that warns you to the bone.
You can weep with him, laugh with
him, sin with him, pray with him.
He sees, knows and loves you.
A friend. repeat, is one with whom
YOU dare to be yourself.

APrayer for Disarmament.

Lord God, on hurrying feet
At last the nations meet!
Brcathless, the ENJOYS sent
To this divine event
Come with their wistful eyes.
Now has the world grown wise,
And ancient hates seem done:
flushed are loud cannon and gun.
The earth awaits one word:
Peace for thy people. Lord!
Oh, shall it be at last
That war and pain are past?.
Is this the hour, o Lord,
When men put by the sword
And sink beneath the tide
Their falseness and their pride:
The smoke of battle dies.
The sun is in Thy skies.
Trembling. we wait one word:
Peace for Thy people, Lord!
Lord, let us not go back
Through the long ruin and wrack,
Through the sad, bleeding years,
Crowded with death and tears.
If now the nations fail,
If Love should not prevail.
Ours be the guilt and shame
Who called upon Thy name
And faltered at the word:
Peace for Thy people. Lord
1t cannot he that Thou
Wilt fail the nations now.
Fortress and arsenal
In a great clamor fall;
Gigantic ships go down
BY many Il seacoast town;
War and the hosts of hell
Are gone. and all is well!
The earth shall hear the word:
Peace for Thy people, Lord!

All Aboard for LeNIars.

Iowa Falls Citizen: 1t has come to
pass in these days that when person
casually mentions that he or she has
just returned from Rochester, nobody
thinks of asking the character of the
trip. Nobody imagines the trip was to
Rochester, N. Y, to negotiate for mems
garments. 1t goes without saying that
the party of the first part has been
i to Rochester, Mimi, to be overhauled,
or at least adjusted. 1t would be
only fair to say, in this connection, that
within radius of seventy-five miles Of
Waterloo, our own municipality is ac-
quiring a considerable reputation along
the same line, surgically as well as
commercially.
But what we started out to say is
that it is not improbable one of these
days that people from all parts of
Iowa and the midwest will be buying
tickets or gasoline for LeMars, which
is city of 5000 people % miles east
of Sioux City. And also, that when peo-
pie remark that they have been to I4e-
Mars such statement will indicate
the same purpose as does suggestion
of trip to Rochester. Such an init
nation would signify that the person
had trekked to LeMars to be fitted
with new and freshcr glands.
According to reports two surgeons ut
I4eMars have been experimenting III
gland transplanting for six years and
have, they assert, passed the expert
mental stage. They take people Of
slightly advanced age, say around sixty
years, who may be languid, rundown
Iat-the-heel, passe, as it were, and in
anaesthetic, substitute for bum gland.
| the gland of a six-year-0ld goatlet
whose forbears came from the rugged
Alps. After that the person takes on
new vigor and activity and proceeds
to make the younger generation sit UP
and observe events.
Or course this is not entirely new.
theoretically, but it is somewhat Of
a revelation from practical point
of view. The eminent French sur
geon, Sere VoronOff, some time ago
brought out his "mOnkey-gland'
idea and demonstrated it in Chicago,
but that was the last we heard Of the
scheme, which was supposed to restore
you In Ponce de Leon. of Fountain
of Youth" fame. The LeMars surgeons
took hold Of the idea and have been
working on it for six years. with the
result that they declare the substitution
of kid glands for worn out human
glands, evolves new and vastly I'M
proved human being.
| At present the trouble is to get the
kids, which originally came from Swift
zerland and are used because Of almost
complete immunity from disease; also
because their glands are very similar to
those of the human being In the
course of few years it is expected the
supply of kids will he sufficient to per-
nit of 1000 operations year. Thus
does I.eMars got on the map. We trust
| its permanence will be more impressive
than that of Webster City via the Juice
of ragweed that promised TO drive
motor car hundred miles for eighteen
cents and heat siX-rOOm house in Il
hard winter for $6.13. Anyway, the
world do move.

BOARDING MONEY A SIN.


Wallace's Farmer: In every COM
munity there are men who are SHINING
against themselves and against their
fellow men by keeping from two hun
bred to ten thousand dollars around the
house. Farmers and town people are
both guilty in this respect. They are
tailoring under the impression that
things are going to get worse and worse
until the final crash comes and that
then they will be at a peculiar advan-
tage because they have stock of hard
cash on hand In few cases, farmers
are holding cash around home because
they fear that if they put any large sum
in their checking account at the bank
that the banker will insist that they
apply it on their notes with the result
that they will be crippled in short
time for working capital. Bankers
who inspire this kind Of fear in the
hearts Of their customers are as guilty
of the sin Of boarding as the men who
are doing the boarding themselves.
Is boarding money really sin?
Doesn't man have right to keep
hundreds or even thousands of dollars
in cash around the house. if he wants
to? Surely he has right, but in
times like these we regard the exercise
of such Il right as a downright social
sin
Cash kept around the house is dead
money. Cash deposited in the bank is
live money. A dollar fcash deposited
in the bank serves as source of from
S. to $40 of credit. The man who
keeps $1,000 around the house is I'M
effect, preventing five to ten other men
from borrowing $1,000 each from the
bank. We suspect that there is at
least $5,OOOOOO in the state of Iowa
being kept out Of circulation by timid
hoarders. This $5,O0O,O0O if it were
put in the bank would serve as source
of from $25,OOO,OOO to $50,OO0O00 of
credit and this much credit would go
a long way toward relieving the pres
ent critical situation.
Now you don't need to put the money
in the bank yourself in order for it to
serve as q source of increased credit
for your fellow men. You can perhaps
loan it to a neighbor who has good
security at or even per cent. Your
neighbor will use the money to pay Off
other debts or buy something which he
urgently needs and the final result will
be that the money will find its way into
a bank somewhere and serve as al
source of increased credit. OF course
if you are hard pushed yourself and
are going to need this money within
a few months, the thing to do with It'll
is to deposit it in your checking account
at the bank.
Never keep more than $50 in cash
around the house, and If you can get
along with as little as $40, by all means
do so. If you have large quantities OF
money on hand there is always danger
of losing it by robbery and fire. But
the biggest reason why all surplus
money should find its way into the
bank as promptly as possible is that
the banks are credit factories, and the
raw material is hard cash. Remember
that the bank makes out of every dol
lar of cash which you deposit, from
S. to $40 worth Of credit.

A belief that low end-of-May condi-
ton figures had been discounted and
that the crop was now improving ap-
pcared TO be largely responsible for
yesterdays reactions In the cotton mar
ket. Possibly contributing factor was
the reported increased SPOT sales in the
South suggesting that holders had not
been sufficiently impressed by the re
duced crop prospect to advance their
asking prices.
The failure of the buliish condition and
ACREAGE figures to create broader demand
waa the feature most generally mentioned
however. and the market proved quite
sensitive 20 selling orders in the late

prominent local authority, was less bulish,

these last mentioned figures helped to
oheek buying in connection With tho ia
yorable weather reports and the talk OF
free Southern selling of spot cotton on ad-
vsnccs.
Data for the official condition report
were gathered last Wednesday,, aud yes-
Lerday's weekly report from the Weather
Bureau confirmed the impression of inn

considered doubtful whether the trade as
