The Detroit Free Frees says the modern gown cousists of “two arm holes, bounded on the west by nothing, on the east by the same, on the south by hardly any thing and ou the north by less than that,” and the sad part of it, the Joker describes it almost perfectly. Harry Herring, of Kansas City, and his sweetheart. Helen Foster, robbed ten filling stations to secure money with which lo start their career as Mr. and Mrs. Hcrriug, but they were caught In the tenth raid and have been sentenced to ten years in prison. They parted dramatically and the promise to watt lor each other. They probably will hut they will be sadder and wiser lovers when they meet again. Two little boys, aged fifteen and fourteen respectively were caught lasi night trying to rob a filling station near Fort Wayne. One of them was snot and is now in a hospital in a serious condition. Watch your boys, work to save them, tell them of the experiene# of these boys and tire foolishness of banditry, read them the Ten ('omnia.ndnients and bring them to seeing the advantages of a clean and upright life. The greatest indoor sport at the state house for several years past has been the “hunting of shortages” ami tile ousting of officials. The latest effort to kick out a man of supposed ability is an attempt to remove Dr. | W. F. King, secretary of the state board of health, on grounds of 1 malfeasance. He is charged with in j creasing the salaries of three of hiß hoard. Either there is a lot of dirty, petty politics going on at Indianapolis or the officials are under calibre and in either case its had for the state. Dr. King has given excel lent service to hi# state so far as is , known and its quite possible that jealousies and differences of opilt ions have caused (lie present exploy slon. Henry Ford thinks the churches ought to add dancing as an attraction , for young people. We just can't imagine a lot of the deacons we know doing the trots and tangoes, but there is something about the suggestion worth considering and that is that the churches can he made more popu Ur and the source of greater good by providing clean entertainment and attractions for the young people There are ways to make everybody want to go to the "meetln’ house" and whatever it is that draws them there they will be better off than going some where else. Henry Ford has put over some rather big enterprises and when lie bumps into tough opposition starts his own plants. If he should undertake to reorganize the churches or start his own there would b“ headlines a plenty and news stories that would maicc the recent Scopes trial just a little curtain act. Rev. W. H. Thompr>on has been named chairman of the local organization of the Salvation Army Home Service and will organize a campaign to raise the quota of SSOO to be deposited in a local bank and used as necessary to draw by the division officials.

been chosen for Rev. Thompson thrives when serving and the succoss of the effort Is assured. The Salvation Army does a wonderful work over the country. Witli less red tape than many organizations they are usually first upon the field following a disaster and they work unselfishly and unremittingly until (heir job is finished. In the great cities they are always seeking opportunity to lift a fallen man or woinap and It may surprise you to kuow that statistics prove that seventy per cent, of these- victims of the city's blare and jjlare, are rural and small town boys and girls. The assessment should he and we doubt not will he promptly met In this city. The Chicago Tribune is making war against the prolonged summer vacation for school children and declares that in large cities this is harmful. The attitude may become popular with some parents but a stnaw vote from the pupils themselves would result in a unanimous verdict that the Tribune editor is au old grouch and ought to be ducked in the uearest creek Tile Tribune says: The long summer vacation was tlie product of rural conditions. The farm needed all the family in the growing and harvesting months. lu great cities children who ean not get into the country, and lew can, are simply turned into the street. This provides a species of education, but not the kind they need. The long absence from studies involves waste of time, breaking up of habits of application, loss of interest and momentum. Undoubtedly there is no adequate compensation, for so long a rest is not needed by any ( normal child. Our school buildings and yards should he made ( comfortable for summer weather, and perhaps modification of the program of activities might be made to meet summer conditions. o

THE SUMMER COTTAGE SARDINE Oh. little fish which comes to us Three times a week thy Norway kin In overcoats of tin Upon my plate I've seen Once more sedate upon my plate From yonder sea, has come to me I see you with a grin. Full many a sleek sardine. Your silver side is gleaming fair. Yours is a goodly race, I vow, Bedecked with beads of oil. A healthy spot your shore; 'Tis sad, hut true, to feed on you The more 1 eat your oily meat They called me from my toil. They keep ou serving more'. 4, engaged upon some lofty theme I know, oh tiny, frail sardine, Not long ago. I sat, That you would rather be I'd pledged my'time to shape a rhyme At home alive, to Plunge and dive The world might marvel at, Than make a meal for me. But unto me there came the maid. But this is what you cannot kuuw "To dinner, sir!" said she, f, too, bemoan your fate; "To dinner, sir,” mark that from her, I’d rather see you swimming free Thus dignifying thee. Than here upon my plate. (Copyright 1925 Edgar A. Guest

"The Salvation Army went to France to serve because they had learned how through many years of experience and training. They gained the undying graittude of 4.000,000 Yanks. And they came back to do just what they had always done and that was to. feed the hungry, relieve the suffering, and lead men and women back to God. This is their task, this is their work and this they are doing day by day with telling results and effectiveness. "The Salvation Army is accomplishing an unparalleled work in the reclaiming of human souls. It specializes in the redemption of those dHio through sin or misfortune feel themselves shut out from respectable huuiau society. But its ministry is not confined to those alone as it challenges the so-called respectable sinner to a now life in Christ atfcl helps wherever the helping hand is , needed, ft does not work in comoe.ition with the orthodox churches but reaches many who do not answer the call of the church bell. Because of Its great social as well as deeply spiritual ministry the Salvation Army deserves your hearty support and cooperation. The ruril community should help in this work lor the fallen girl or wayward boy who leaves the country for the city to hide their { shame are often rescued by the Sal--1 vation Army.
