How I Earned My First Dollar

Charles Siusser is the man who is directing the work of the Light House mission as assistant superintendent since Captain Benjamin E. Stahl moved out to

the Glenn home to take charge

there. Mr. Siusser earned his first dollar on a farm at the age of 13. He says his paih has not been strewn with roses but that the-stony path has given him a sympathy for his down-and-out. "fellow-man which has called him to, put his heart and soul into the rescue and relief work in which he •is engaged. "As a boy," said Mr. Siusser, "I lived •with my parents on su farm near York, Tsl., in the edge of Clarke county. My father was head sawyer in a saw mill. I 'ohly. had a^ chance to go to school .when there was no work and that was not much of the time. At 13 a farmer by the name of Shelley offered to employ me as a hand. I went to work .driving a one-horse corn drill, drilling the corn after the field had been .marked. For this I received fifty cents a day .A little latef, I think between the ages of 13 and 14, I hauled lumber forfafher. Father didn't pay me anythingbut when I was in need of money he gave me some. '"I cam© to Terre Haute twenty-sev-en years ago. My first position was in a grocery store at Fourteenth and Poplar street?, where I worked for about a year. From there I went into the railing mill and was employed there for sixteen years. I sold oil fi»r six or seven years.

to the authorities not to conscript them for war, upon the same ground, and, of course, the Friends, more familiarly Quakers, will not fight. .There being an immense amount of patriotic work connected with war whi5h is not itself war, we do not suppose there will be any demand that these people be punished, If they refuse to enlist for service at the front. Presumably, they will all be willing to help' In any peaceful pursuit, so that in themselves thpy present no problem, but they raise a vexatious problem, nevertheless, by making It possible for any hypocritical slacker to invent a complete set of conscientious scruples against doing anything except" save his cowardly hide.

Such men, if they appear In any considerable number, are likely to mak4 trouble, but a good cross-examiner will make trouble'for them, and so occasionally will the sheriff. ,•

THE HIGH PRIVATE.

In one of the current magazines this week Lord Northcliffe sounds a note that 3hould be listened to In all this intense-• enthusiasm pver raising an army.

Lord Northcliffe, urging Americans to. avoid the mistakes made by lingland and France a,t the oytset of the war, reminds us that war has attained the standing of a business and that no business progreses -successfully without an effective organization. America's value as an ally will depend upon efficient organization and our ability to co-ordinate our efforts with those of the allies. Germany's perfection of organization has been tns wonder of the world, had her fighting machine been inspired by the enthusiasm and conviction .of free men nothing, according to Lord Northcliffe, could have stood "before it. There is where a democracy gains over an autocracy.

In England, men enlisted from all

walks of life to an extent which hampered the industries necessary to the needs of the nation. With us, at this Juncture, men should not be withdrawn froni the farms. The farmers who would enlist should be advised that they can serve their country better in the field they already occupy and with which they are conversant. The medical examination of recruits should be thorough a man not physically fit eventually proves An encumbrance to an army. We shall have to look out for grafters, wjio fatten on army contracts, and for officers whose qualifications are political rather than military. In saying "Twenty-three generals could not win a? battle, nor twentythree Shakespeares write, a play," Lord Northcliffe applies the old adage, "Too many cooks spoil the brot^."

Just at present there Is a great deal of zeal for national service In the feminine world, and women are proposing themselves for all sorts of duties which they assume they may "be billed' dn tO petforn^ Every one admits that those at home should be as well trained as those In the army.

THE PROBLEM OF COAL.

Governor Goodrich's new utilities commission is^to devote practically all of its attention for the present to the coal situation. It is conceded that it has a fine opportunity for service to the people in view of the high prices of fuel and the prospect for still higher prices next winter.

The commission has called the coal bperators to meet next Wednesday to give it information regarding the fuel supply and the car situation. The commission will hold meetings at Evansville, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne and other cities within the next month to gather information from the coal consumers and dealers. The governor has been trying to find a way to handle the coal situation,, but has not been able to make much headway. It has been intimated here that the commission and the governor may even attempt to have receiverships created for the roads so the" state can operate them if they do not furnish sufficient cars.

For the present, however, a great deal of work will be necessary in determining who is to blame for the coaS shortage and for the high prices.

If, as the operators claim, the present condition Is due to a car shortage and to the fact that the ranks of the miners are being depleted by higher wages offered by numerous other lines of work,' there can be little hope for early relief. The federal commission might meet the emergency by having a lot of coal cars built and distributed among the coal carrying systems of the country, but the problem of holding men to mine work is a dilemma not so easily explained away. That crisis suggests the taking over of the mines for government operation, an idea that has hardly yet been digested by the American public. If any one has a morfe apt solution, the nation would be glad to hear from him.

THE BUTCHER BILL.

"Raise more live stock there will be high prices for at least three years to come this is an emergency message to farmers and stock growers from G. H. Davison, president of the National Agricultural society. Mr. Davison says: "In my judgment there will be a scarcity of nearly all kinds of live stock for some time to come, and farmers and stockmen should make their plans* accordingly. This means that there should be no selling. of young animals or female breeding stock merely because current prices are high. Better money can be made by working on the understanding that high prices for hogs, cattle, sheep and other live stock will rule for at least three or four years to come."

There is no doubting this in view

Golden text—Whosoever of you will be the chiefest shalj be servant of a}l. -—Mark 10:44.

When the apostles entered the room where they were to eat the passover no" servant appeared to wash the dust from their sandalled feet. In the rivalry for pre-eminence neither of them would serve the others, but Jesus took towel and basin and bathed their feet, even those of the traitor Judas.

False greatness fears to stoop lest its crown fall off. True greatness shows itself in serving others. Christianity is not so much in professions and prayers as in unselfish deeds of kindnbss springing from a heart full of love.

After a chaplain had brought water to a wounded soldier and covered him with his own coat the sufferer said: "If there is something in your religion that leads you do .to that, tell me about it."

Simon Peter protested against being served by his Master. But Jesus replied, "If I wash thee npt thou hast no part with me." Kind deeds do not make one a christian, any more than drilling makes one a member of Co. BTo become a soldier one must enlist. To be a christian the heart must be washed clean by the blood of Christ. "Ye must be born again Saved by Christ, serving others for Christ, that is the christian life-
