The New Year Perhaps the most universal wish of the world today is that 1918 will see the conclusion of the great war. Mankind is pining for peace. " Slaughter and destruction on a gigantic scale, unparalleled in the history of the world, have made all of us appreciate the blessings of peace. But per.ce cannot come about so long as one nation, or a group of nations, without consulting the wish of their peoples, can declare war and wage it fcr the aggrandizement of selfish interests. Peace can come only after the cause of war is removed, and that in this instance is the defeat of the German army. Vain prophecies for peace and pious wishes for that consummation will not bring about the end. Only further blood shed will bring Germany to her knees. So the year 1918 is ushered in with every prospect of twelve months of warfare. . The struggle will be brought much nearer - home because our own men are now involved and will take part in the sanguinary battles that are imminent. The sentiments of this New Year's Day call for a national consciousness that is prepared for sacrifices. They call on us to bend our whole

efforts to the job of winning the war. Personal preferences and profits, business gains and losses weigh very little in the scale of national duty. For of what worth is our personal gain and the dividends that accrue if our arms are defeated and the cause of the Allies lost? Then, everything we have accumulated is just so much booty for the enemy ; then our property, real and personal, is just so much possession on which the foe can lavy indemnities; then all of us are subjects. We cease being free citizens of a free republic. We need not blink the fact that dark hours are ahead. But that prospect need not dishearten us. Our fathers in the Civil war faced the same conditions. For many months .it seemed that southern arms would prevail. Our forefathers had to go through Valley Forge before they gained their Independence. And so the Allies today must go through the dark valley before they gain mountain tops beyond. " Unto us has come the cry of Europe. Upon us "devolves the great task of stemming the German advance. We are the last in the war. Our men are fresh, our resources have not been touched. But our morale has not been tested. Long casualty lists have not been - published. Thou

sands of our men have not been numbered among the missing., We have suffered no reverses. The first day of the year asks us to prepare for that ordeal. May the last year of. 1918 find us strong in our resolution, with- characters tempered to endure' privation and loss without murmuring, accepting the results with an equanimity of spirit worthy of our history. Our boys in France have shown their mettle in the first engagements. The few casualties have aroused the boys with a desire to visit retribution on the foe. It has engendered the fighting spirit. The New Year asks us to accept the fortunes of war in the same manner. Losses ought to stiffen our backbone and add resolution to our character. They ought to inspire us to the greater effort and the greater sacrifice. Apples for the Boys Indiana fruit growers and commission men are co-operating : with a national movement to supply our troops in France with apples. U. S. transport? will carry the fruit to France and the Y. M. C. A. will handle the distribution. The appeal is made to the growers and commission men, although contributions from other sources will be received. O. A. Kemper is chairman of the local committee. That American fruit is an acceptable gift among the boys goes without argument. A little enterprise and forethought on our part will provide them with a delicacy that will prove again that the love of the nation reaches across the sea.

Circus Feats, of the Airmen on the Fighting Lines From Scribner's Magazine EVERY day at the front all manner of what in peace time would regarded as "circus tricks" are performed as necessary measures of safety in the presence of hostile machines. With a view of illustrating

their bearing upon aerial fighting methods, and alike upon the conquest of the air, I may now describe in detail the chief variations from ordinary straightaway flying. Let us first take the feat, well-known on every flying exhibition ground, of "looping the loop." A Hun pilot, we will suppose, has succeeded, owing to a misty atmosphere, in dropping behind an Allied machine, and the pilot of the latter hears at close quarters the unwelcome "tack-tack-tack of a machine-gun. If he is not "winger" there are many things he may do, but we will suppose that he 'loops the loop," and meanwhile the oncoming machine passes beneath him. The position of affairs is thereby reversed; the Allied machine is now "sitting on the tail" of the Hun, and may get in a vital shot. It may be, on the other band, that the Allied pilot has engaged a Hun in a direct attack,

and each may have an observer with a swivel-gun. Either pilot may elect to loop in order to pass under the enemy

machine, and thus provide a fair mark for his observer

from below. A variant on the original loop is the side-way loop. In order to get out of the line of fire as speedily as possible, in the case of being attacked unawares, the pilot swings aside and loops with a rolling motion instead of in a ver

tical circle. This is a very useful expedient for the pilot of a single-seater who has only his wits and skill to de

pend upon, whether for attack or defense. The tail slide is frequently employed for the same purpose that of causing the enemy to overshoot the mark and so effect a reversal of the positions. ( The pilot elevates his machine just as if be were beginning a loop, but instead of turning over and completing the circle, he allows the machine to "stall" itself when at a steep forward angle. To be exact, it does not actually slide backward on its tail ; as soon as it is "stalled" the machine is allowed to fall by the head and the pilot dives. The enemy has meanwhile passed overhead.

THE SOLDIER The soldier is a lucky dog, In some ways, sure enough, Although it may be said with truth His average life is tough. Collectors cannot bother him, He stands where danger thrills; The only place where one is safe . Prom gentlemen with bills. -He cannot run a touring car And all his earnings blow For gas and tires and other things To make the darn thing go. No talky gent can come along And sell the soldier man A set of books he doesn't want On the instalment plan. He has no furnace fire to feed. He does not pawn his soul Once in two weeks, as we do here, To buy a ton of coal.

TIME FOR THE HEAVIES NOW It's easy enough to be pleasant when life goes along gay and pert, But the guy who's worth while is the one who can smile when he's wearing a new flannel shirt.

Hiram Power's masterpiece, "The Greek Slave," is to go on the auction block. This is believed to be the only Greek slave who has never been tied down to a steady job in a shoe-shining parlor. Amos W. Goldfoogle, a waiter in the Last Chance Cafe, expired suddenly last Thursday night. A customer

tipped him a perfectly good quarter, it being the first time this had happened since the war broke out last spring. The ambulance surgeon said Goldfoogle had a weak heart.

is believed to be the original siphonated American. H. Hoover is busy reviving bis famous old food conservation play, entitled "Come Out of the Kitchen." The price of beef hag gone down three cents, but it must be a secret. Nobody has told .the corner butchers.

It is said they have just found that shirt which was stolen from ex-president Taft two years ago. It is out west doing duty as a circus tent. Fashionable tailors are now showing wine-colored dress coats. Little late in the day to be of general use. Those coats would have been great when men were in the habit of spilling wine.

Lutheran Schools Will Drop German LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. i:At a meeting held at Seward, Neb., the pastors and teachers of the German Lutheran church In Nebraska of the Missouri Synod adopted resolutions of loyalty to the United States and recommended the cessation of German language instruction in all parochlan schools of the state for the duration of the war.

that you disliked to see a . woman constantly getting herself in print." "I do," said Smithers positively. "You consider it unwomanly and indelicate, I believe?" "Very." "And you don't see how any man could allow his wife to do anything of the kind?" "Certainly I don't." "Well; Mr. Smithers, in view of all the facts in the case, I feel justified in asking you for a new silk dress." "A new silk dress?" "Yes; for the last eight years I have had nothing better than calico, and I want something else. I'm tired of getting into print." Mrs. H. had just employed a new maid, fresh from the old country. She asked the girl to take the baby out in the baby carriage. Gunhilde was delighted. She had never seen a baby carriage before and from her articulate joy one might think that she had waited for this moment all her life. Mrs. H. was pleased to see that the girl was so willing. The baby was wrapped up and they started. Two minutes later Mrs. H. looked out of the window and her face froze with horror Instead, of rolling gsutly down the sidewalk the way a baby should her child was being piloted majestically down the middle of the street in the midst of automobiles and delivery wagons. From Gunhilde's expression one could see that she knew that her carriage was better than any coach on the avenue.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1. "There is twice as much nutritive value in a dollar's worth of corn meal, even at prevailing prices, as in a dollar's worth - of white bread," declared Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana. "In the campaign being conducted by the food administration it is found that corn meal must play a very important part in the conservation " of wheat products. "We have nearly five times as much Corn as wheat in this country this year. Corn bread is a home product. It tastes best when freshly made. Plain corn bread can be made from sour milk or just plain water and salt. Folloing is a favorite southern recipe for corn bread: "Two cups of corn meal, one and one-half cups of thick sour milk, three-fourths of a teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon of salt, one' egg and three teaspoons of melted dripings. Egg may be omitted."
