After hearing thtri well inountug woman talk he writer picked ui tliat night a European paper that com en to the home and read this paragraph: tt It said that there it not a living child In Poland under eight years of age. "Not a living child In Poland under Ight years of age!" WUh little hod tea unahle to endure the hardship and Htarvatlon of a war-ruined land, they have died hy thousands and tens of thimsandH. Thousands and tens of thousands of mot hern an good an the woman who made thie thoughtleHs ro raark, mothers who loved their chil dren as much an thin mother loved hern- (hey with hcart hreaklng help hBnetiH have seen their children slowly starve before their eyes, while American mot hern Kay, "No. 1 will not even vary my diet in a harmless way. I will not even make submit it tions to nave meat and wheat. In order that part of it may nave the lives of starving babies and little ones In Eu rope!" No. we don't mean that any Ameri can mother Is saving thru In words. Ortalnlv the good wstnan ut whom we write would not have said tt or thought It and yet hy her acta, that was what he wan saying. If someone eould hare shown her a photograph of one starving Polish child, with wan, plnrhed face and hnllow eyes, rrylng to Its mother for bread she did not. have oh, how qulrkly this American mother would have said: "Yen, ! have plenty of wheat and I have plenty of meat, and I'll gladly divide my last crust to save the lives of little ones tike that'" With such a picture before her eyes, how quick ly would this AmerUan mother have railed to mind the Last Judgment's awful curse on all the uncaring and hard of heart, "I was an hungered and ye gave me no mest!" Rut she didn't know. And thus again the Lord she trieB to worship might lanmnt as of old over Ills peo ple, "Israel doth not know! my peo ple doth not consider!" To this good woman the Hoover rules for meatless days and wheatleas days were simply Government regulations simply off! clat red tape She didn't know they were meant to save the lives ef little ones once as fair, as merry, as bright eyed, as love-Inspiring as her owu dear boys and girls! And today ther- are thousands of others like this mother who do not kaow! Well mtentimied people, good hearted people, find fearing people! But they simply "do not know." Friends and readfirs, It Is our duty to help these people know! Let ui gtve of our money, hut let us also give of our time and effort for a campaign of education in these matters -to show the need of food regulation, War Saving" Stumps. Liberty Bonds. Red Tross work. Y. M C A. and Y W C. A. campaign!! We must save food for the starving; we must give money to protect the wounded and to provide wholesome moral recreation for our soldiers Instead of unwholesome and immoral dissipation. And if our farmers- as la so often charged - have not supported these raovemeats at they should. It if not because they are more selfish, more hard-hearted, less patriotic, than city people. It Is only because they have not been informed. And all of us who do really under stand must here and now resolve to help Inform them. In every school, lu every Sunday school, In every farm ers' club, in every farm woman's club, and even as a part of almost every church service, our men and women of light and leading must do their part to arouse rural America. lu the Revolutionary war it was the "embat tled farmers" at Lexington who "fired the shot heard around the world!" In the Civil War It was the stubborn courage or our farm men and the steadfastness of our country women thai won the world's applause for Conftderata heroism ' Because thta war Is a little farther frBi ,ar d-or ti no rcaon why we should play a less noble part. And there Is little time to lose Many peo ple think that twelve months hence pecae will he In sight. Let us reaolva therefore that during the coming year our rural people la every county will make a record of patriotism that our sons and grandsons will mention with pride even aa we take pride ia the ei ploita our ancestora of the 0'i.

There's a sweet old story translated for man, Bui writ in the long, long ago The gospel according to Mark, Luke and John Of Christ and His mission below. Men read and admire the gospel of Christ, With its love so unfailing and true; But what do they say, and what do they think Of the gospel "according to you ?" 'Tis a wonderful story, that gospel of love, As it shines in the Christ life divine, And oh that its truth might be told again In the story of your life and mine ! Unselfishness mirrors in every scene; Love blossoms on every sod; And back from its vision the heart come to tell The wonderful goodness of God. You are writing each day a letter to men, Take care that the writing !s true. 'Tis the only gospel that some men will read That gospel according to you. THE LADY OF MUSIC. Spring is the lady of music, with ever a song in her throat And the wind and the leaves to re-echo the beautiful lilt of the note. Spring, with her infinite singing As fairies have sung through the land In the witchery of morning swinging Through the green lanes hand in hand. Spring is the lady of music, und the lure of her singing is sweet As her smile lifts the cloud on the meadow, and the violets awake 'neath her feel. Spring, with her light and elation That the vales shall respond to so gay VX'hen she comes in her raiment of morning Like a rose on the breast of the May. Spring is the lady of music, w hose song is the elfin delight That is heard in the ares of the azure where the moon shall walk tonight. Spring, with her laughter and gleaming, Piping sweet as she dances along To the lilt of the love that lies dreaming In the amaranth valleys of song. 'And a l.illle Child Them."

One of the most popular of in door amusements is "wishing yourself rich." Everybody plays it except the mothers of the little boys who wish them into the Pres idency. It is great sport, but it often is played loo violently, for many of the wishers stay in bed and sit long in armchairs to play it. Many a low sled old man sit ting by the road with the toes out of his shoes has passed more than his share of good sunny days wish ing he was Rockefeller, and if Rockefeller had ever stopped working and started wishing he might also need shoes these frosty mornings, livery kitchen has at least one girl w ho is wishing crowns id gold on her head and rolls ol diamonds around her neck, and every field has a boy in it who is wishing a farm wagon full of banknotes to himself, with marble halls and automobiles thrown in for good measure. It is not against the law to wish yourself rich, but it is to be observed that the hard est wishers are the poorest people. Stop wishing and start working. Wishing germinates weeds such weeds ol envy, anger and despair that the power of your brains and the vitality of your muscles is thwarted and all your wishing is as useless as a pile of ashes. You can wish yourself into the alms house; but no instance has ever been recorded of anybody wishing themselves into a palace. IP YOU ARl: WliLL IJHI-I). You will be kind. You will not use slang. You will try to make others, hap py. You will not be shy or self-con scious. You wil never indulge in ill-na tured gossip. You will never forget the respect due to age. You will not swagger or boast of your achievements. You will think of others before you think of yourself. You will De scrupulous in your regard for the rights of others. You will not measure your civil ity by people's bank accounts. In conversation you will not be argumentative or contradictory. You will inn bore people by con stantly talking of yourself and . You will never under any cir cumstances cause another pain, if you can help it. You will not think that "good intentions" compensate for rude or gruff manners. You will never remind a cripple of his deformity, or probe the sore spots of a sensitive soul. A Bilious Attack. When you have R bilioun attack your liver fail to perforin it funet.ona. You lieco.ne euiiNt.psted. The food you eatN fermcntx in your Rtomach in tttead of iliirentiiif. Tin mllames the stomach and causes nausea, vomiting and a terrible headache. Take Cham berlain s Tablets, they will tone up your liver, clean out your stomach and you will soon be as well as ever. They only coat a quarter. The following incident is y.'t another ii.stanrt' of the power of children when used l.y lio.l to lirinj; about IUh purpose. A yoiiiiK mini of otherwise jjood moral character hu.l been addicted to the use. of profani ty. At tirst it even Hhoeked himself, but after a time he became so used to it that lie ceased to notice it. lie at length married a j;. mil wife and her influence over him liroinjlit, about the wish that he could rid himself of the sin which had obtained such mastery over him. He tried hard, l.nt not until his little girl had reached tlie age ot three vears did he finally throw oil' the hi. hit. ( Ine Sunday morning as he stood before the mirror shav ing, the razor slipped and in llictcil a wound upon his face. True to his old sin, he, in his inipat ionce, spoke the name of lio.l in anger. To his surprise, his little girl, who was near, playing with her dolly and had tr.l him, arose hastily and running to I.e.' father with an excited look on her face, said : 'Is I lo.l here?" Ashamed, and not knowing what to reply, he asked : "Why ?" " 'Cause 1 thought He was here when I heard you speak to Him." Seeing the sad look on his face and the tears in his eves. he looked down into her in nocent lace, tile child lovingly patted her father on the hand and said: 'Call Him again, papa, and 1 iless He'll surely come." At last the work was done; the hard heart broken ;t lie voice of the beloved was heard in the simple ipiiries of the babe. Catching the surprised little one up in his arms, the man I knelt down, and for the first time in li is life he prayed. In . answer to that tiraver forgive ness came, strength came, and the lost sheep returned to the fold.
