Sunday Schools

The Laymens National Committee of
New York founders and sponsors of Ma
tional Bible Week, will institute National
Sunday School Week, April 9 to Is, 1915.
The sole purpose is to stimulate Sunday
School attendance and support.
Admiral Reginald r. Belknap, Chair
man of the committee says: ut is time to
popularize the fact that a boy or girl who
attends Sunday School, who is obedient
: to his parents and his teachers is not
sissy but real American. National Sun
day School Week will endeavor to get over
that every parent is not only derelict in
his duties, but he cannot expect to enjoy
the respect, admiration or even the COM
pany of his friends and associates, if he does
not make some effort, some sacrifice to in
sure his children a knowledge of God.
America was founded on mans conscious
ness of God, mans daily labor, and the
fruits therefrom Until there is again I'M
iversal recognition of the Importance of
assuring American children knowledge
of God, the very principles that served to
create this country of ours, will continue
to be in jeopardy"
Concerted action should be instituted to
popularize Sunday School attendance, to
give the youth of the nation stabilizing
influence to counterfeit the irresponsible
thinking that inevitably follows war. The
fact that strength of character develops
with better understanding of the relative
Importance of the spiritual and the materi-
al, is evidenced by the experience Of the
boys on the fighting fronts. The same
stabilizing influence must be encouraged
in our domestic life.

Pull In Action

When our generals and adnirals sit
down together to work out campaign or
plan battle, they must figure out the ex-
act amount of bullets, guns, tanks, k-ra-
tons, parachutes, blood plasma and literal
ly thousands of other things they will need
for the operation. Then they must call in
the chiefs of supply to find out whether
they can have the mountain of things they
require, postponing or cancelling their bat
tie plans if the supply chiefs say, "No."
This vital part Of the planning is called

vy's greatest secret weapon" Admiral
Ernest J. King, chief of the whole Navy,

SAL" Navy Secretary James Forrestal
says: eve couldn't win the Pacific war
without it."
And here's where we come in! The adj
mirals and the generals look to the Logistic
Plans division. The Logistic Plans chiefs
look to the pulpwood cutters. Without an
adequate supply of the right kind of pulp
wood the war would drag on for years with
victory doubtful in the end.

World Harmony

AS result of the Y alta. conference,
Churchill, Stain and Roosevelt seem to be
more friendly than ever BEFORE. III their
respective countries each has heaped high
praise on the other two and, as result, are
definitely breaking down public suspicion
of any future ennity between present
Allies.
There will be tremendous problems to
be worked out to avoid the possibility of
future wars, but if the people of our three
countries will follow our leaders in insist
ing on an harmonious relationship, many
of those problems will evaporate.
In spite of the great differences in po-
itical philosophy which exist between the
people of our country and the people of
Russia, we cannot help but have great re-
spect for the Russians when we read about
the amazing war job they are doing and the
sacrifice which they are making.
And there is no reason why, when the
war is over, we cannot continue to respect
and admire the Russians as a people. So
long as neither country tries to impose it's
theories of government on the other, there
should never be any reason to fear any con-
flict between our two great nations.

Let's Establish A Cannery

AS gardens are being planted and the
new season is approaching, it is a good
time to think about cannery and, further
more, to do something about it. There has
been some interest expressed in such
project in recent weeks and we hope that
this will materialize.
This section is ideal for the growing of
a large variety of both vegetables and
fruits and cannery would afford an addi-
tional market for these. It would mean
additional money to the people of the coun-
ty as well as great convenience. It would
mean that many more people away from
this section would have the pleasure of
eating fruits and vegetables grown and
canned here a.
Let's get to work and get a cannery
now.

follows:
my dear Mrs. Wyatt:

you of the death of your son,
Thomas N. Wyatt, on IS Deem

ton on the battlefields of Ger

conducted appropriate burial
services according to his faith,
and his remains were inferred in

others who have fallen in battle.
realize that this loss to you is
irreparable, and my only wish at
this time is that I could express
my sympathy adequately. His
manifestation of strong character,
manliness and courage remains a
memory in this Regiment. This
memory gives us additional
strength and determination to
fulfill our mission. We are
proud to have had him in our
Regiment.
The great things of the world
have been purchased by sacrifice
and suffering. God gave His only
begotten Son that men may be
redeemed and inherit eternal life.
May you be comforted with the
knowledge that your sacrifice
was given that the good and
worthwhile things of the world
might endure.

they had fallen down on the job of price
compliance. Food represents 40 per cent of
the average fanilys budget. That's why

A Good Investment

We often read advertisements from in
surance companies telling how investors
can retire with a good income in later
years. We have always been impressed
with these ideas of saving and believe such
companies have a fine idea
We are also greatly impressed with the
investment our own Uncle Sam offers us
in War Bonds
eff you want $4,000 in 10 years, just
start investing $3.50 in War Bonds each
month and you'll have that Five Thousand
when 10 years roll by" says M. L. Pred
more Chief Of the Agricultural Section of
the u. S. Treasury's War Finance Division
He especially recommends this method
of saving for the farmer who wants to
build up an investment that will assure
funds for the education of the children, or
money for worthwhile improvements.
That's the way the savings and interest
will accumulate when a person puts $3.50
in War Bonds each month, according to the
Treasury.
To be exact the accumulation would
total $4,998 in 10 years. If $1125O is in
vested quarterly, or $225 each six months,
it will add up to the same in the end, since
the increment on all "E' Bonds is reckoned
on six months basis after the first year.
These larger investments at longer inter-
walls will suit most farmers better
Our own government bonds are good
investments for. everyone. If you are not

fact that two debts were paid at
