KEEP THE SOLDIER BOYS POSTED

Many people have-, doubtless asked themselves the question: '’Will •ii!y boy, granted he j~, . spared, through the conflict, return, "tb hi# horne, or will he be 'content to remain in some other country or some other part of this country?” And this is a question we may all ask. When this war is Over': there is going to be great inducement for our boys to settle down away from their homes and become citizens of other countries. The war will serve as a refiner, sei>a rating the dross from the pure gold, and the you.::: man who comes through v jh honor untarnished will be eagerly sought to fill places of honor and trust. Now we naturally are anxious that our boys do not forget the old

home or become weaned from home associations. We want them to carry ever with them a vivid picture of thf home joys and pleasures as they knew them before Uncle Sam called them to sterner duties. We want their allegiance to hold to the old home with all the old home stands for in their lives. To this end, are we taking the right course to keep the memory of home gjreen with them? You say ypu are writing regula,rlv, and giving them all the news of interest to you. Yes, but this is probably but a drop in the bucket to what they would learn were they with us. Every , boy should receive his home paper regularly. He should be able each week to tell all that is transpiring back at home, and to have as it were a bird’s-eye view of the social and business life of hr> home community. Home associtiions should never be permitted to fade from his memory but should be renewed with every issue of his hoe paper. In numbers of communities the home paper is being sent to every soldier*;’ who has gone front that community, frequently through the act of some public organization. No better action could be taken by a board of trade, commercial club, borne defense organization or any other organization than to send | each soldier his home paper for the duration of the war. It will show to the boys that not only have the 'folks at home not forgotten a single [one of them, but they are also determined that not a single boy shall forget his home through their negiieet to keep memories of that home green in his heart. Every traveler is familiar with the news stands in all the principal cities of the country where a sign similar to this is displayed: “(Name your town, we have the paper.” And every traveler - knows the thrill of pleasure with which he seized the old home sheet and lost himself in the familiar contents. Whatever else your boy may be deprived of, be sure he has his home paper. It will pay well on the investment.

TO OUR SOLDIER BOYS

Sometimes we wonder, we who are left at home, whether or not our boys realize the void that tlveir departure has left in our community. and more than that, the aching voids in the homes? And then we go on to wonder i(j we, ourselves, appreciate. not what We have lost, b it of what you have so bravely surrendered for our sakes?

And from these thoughts the mind projects itself into the future and we in thought ■ follow you as you go to meet the ominous force arrogant in its strength, insolent in its might and defiant of right and justice. We see it riding down opposition with a ruthless, stride and brushing aside human rights as it would straws that impeded its progress. And we wonder how, when the great test comes, you, our joy arid our pride, will meet it. But the thought does not progress as far as doubt, for following fast upon it come thoughts of you as we know you heart to heart We know you to be harp without fear, standing unafraid before God and man; men of clean lives and clear consciences, whose deep-seated consciousness of the justness and righteousness of their cause will nerve their arms to the fiber of steel. We know you for men who would prefer death to dishonor, and in whom the yellow is notedly absent. And our hearts are at rest. We can proceed with the less Weighty duties that devolve upon us, secure in the knowledge that the honor of our homes and country is safe in your hands. But we cannot but wonder, boys, if you fully sense the great, the n obin th ing tha t you are doing ? Do you realize that you. are making History—and history such as has never before been written? That is the task you have set yourselves. You have gone to meet a crisis in world history before which all previous crisis pale to meager proportions. You are actors in the greatest drama of the human race, and on your actions hangs the destiriy of a world. We would not seek to awe you by citing the tremendousness of *he task before you, but rather to set before you the golden reward that shall call forth in you all of manhood tnat has come down to you from a line of ancestors who have never known either defeat or dishonor. These are not mere sentimental musings, dear boys, but they are the truths that impress themselves upon all our minds as we view the mighty problems that the world m ust solve, and in the solving of which you will represent your noble people, your homes, your country and your God. And when your task is completed and you return to us in the triurinph 'of a righteous victory, we trust to | have sufficient appreciation to give you that welcome that you will so richly merit. We hope to he able I to show to you that we are not ungrateful for your service and your sacrifice. And at this point we pause to wonder what will he our feelings if WE shall fail in the. tasks that confront us, and without the faithful performance of which your work will be doubly difficult. And the desire is born that a dnited prayer shall go up from YOUR hearts that we be given grace to perform our part of the great work.

The measure of greatness of a people is in the unanimity with which they rally to the support of their principles and their ideals. If there were ever any doubt that the American people are one in heart and soul, that doubt has been forever dispelled, for, when Americans can be induced to lay aside that idol so dear to the hearts of all—politics—the world may be assured that they are dominated and controlled by that greatest of all passions, love of home and native land.' It is only the politicians of the “peanut” variety that is at all active these days. The statesman has forgotten* that politics exist, it is this uninimity of sentiment and laying aside of all minor differences that is causing grave concern in the councils of the kaiser. And this concern is not lessened when he observes that a like spirit is lacking in his own. dominions.

For many years now we have laid stress on the rights and privileges of the American citizen, forgetting or ignoring the fact that with every right or privilege there is also a duty. The time has come when we must put our full attention to these duties, and we should be as conscientious in their discharge as we have been insistent in demanding our rights and privileges.

What doth it profit a man to plant a garden and lose it via his neighbor’s chickens? Austria is beginning to inquire what she is fighting for. Xobody knows but the kaiser, and he won’t tell. Germany’s plea that she is fighting for her existence, although hypocritically made, is coming to be the sober truth. In justice to Mr. Root it should

be remembered that he said Russia would be all right if——. Only the “if” didn’t materialize. The fellow who. says a woman can’t keep a secret, should try to get his wife to tell the real secret of how she landed him; The wool shortage might be relieved somewhat by commandeering all that the politicians are accustomed to pull oyer the people’s eyes. Those German soldiers hunting for the American sector in France doubtless had the success of the boy hunting, for a hornet’s nest. They found it.

Many a man who loudly provlaims himself in favor of measures that will work the greatest good to the greatest number, is also firmly convinced that No. 1 is the greatest. The American Indian is the greatest real estate promoter among us. Every tract of land the government assigns to him is at once so enhanced in vafeie that everybody wants it. Those profiteers who attempted to rob the government and the officers of the army in the price oi uniform's should be given a chance to wear a uniform, only it should be different from the product of their factories. Uncle Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal will doubtless assert that the recent display of the Northern lights was providentially sent to light the “Hohenzollerns and Hapsbourgs” further on their way to h—l. Criticism comes of the American soldiers in France that they are too anxious to fight. What else could brie expect when they were raised on a diet composed of three-fourths Jesse James and one-fourth Bob Fitzsimmons? And there’ll come a time before long when not even their officers can hold them back. The American people are perfectly willing to live on “substitutes,’ if only those substitutes are made available. As soon, however, as a substitute is suggested, the price of that article emulates the airship. When sxing a price on wheat the government might give great rejief by also fixing prices on the substitutes.

FIVE WAR TOASTS.

There were five sea captains who chanced to meet; a Russian, a Turk, a Frenchman, an Englishman and an American. One of them proposed a supper at which each one w-as to give a toast. This was agreed to and the toasts w'ere as follows; The Russian: “Here’s to the stars and bars of Russia that w r ere never pulled down.” The Turk: “Here’s to the Moons of Turkey w'hose wrings were never clipped.’’ The Frenchman: “Here’s to the Cock of France, whose feathers never were plucked.’’ The American: “Here’s to the Stars and? Sftripes of the United States that never trailed in defeat.” The Englishman: “Here’s to the rampant, roaring Lion of Great Britain that tore down the stars and bars of Russia, that clipped The wrings of Turkey, that plucked the feathers off the Cock of France and ran like h—l from the Stars and Stripes of the United States.” Nearly 20,000 British South African natives have been recruited for service behind the lines in France and Flanders. In Iceland codfish are dried and ground into flour for making bread.
