Sometimes you find a tough old
sinner who is tender hearted.
Don’t claim an ignorance of evil,
but rise up and over it to purer
realms of thought, and help your
self and humanity by thinking and
talking of the good things about u<--.
Beautiful loves, fine friendships,
noble charities. Look for them
and you will find them.
If you would not be a burden to
others in old age, do not allow your
brain to become inactive, for the
moment you do that, you begin to
become helpless. The old person
with the use of his mind is a joy to
the children and neyer lacks for a
wnole-hearted welcome from them.
Too many of our young people
f. 1 in showing considerate atten
t ■ i, and too often do not fully ap
l r ciate the self-sacrificing love
and benign presence of mother.
L ike the air and the sunlight, she
and her tender ministries are re
ceived and looked upon as a mat
ter of fact. When she is at rest in
the home of the soul, this thought
less negligence will cost them
many a tear.
There is no doubt but that a
large percent of the degradation,
disgrace, ruin and crime among the
young, springs from the habit of
night prowling, corner loafing and
kindred acts by both sexes in city,
town and hamlet all over this broad
country. Any person who keeps
his or her eyes open knows this.
Hundreds of boys and girls are out
at night, and we all know that
■ any influences for evil and none
far gcod surround them.

How the Southern pine lumber
industry has made it possible for
the government to complete a
wooden ship a day at yards along
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts is a
story of industrial romance and
business efficiency that should set
at rest any pessimistic fears which
may be entertained concerning the
one-time menace of Prussian sea
terrorism. Thirty-five thousand
men at 40 shipyards on the Atlant
ic and Gulf are today rushing to
completion 250 hulls for ships
which will compose the initial unit

to "bridge the ocean."
May Still Enlist.
Flat-feet or a reasonable short
age of fingers or toes, and many
other minor defects for which a
man is rejected from the regular
service in the army, will not pre
vent his enlisting in the quarter
master's department for the
mechanical repair shops. These
slight defects are waived and there
is urgent call for recruits who can
qualify for that service.
Capt. H. M. Cartmell, U. S.
Army recruiting office'', has also
been authorized to accept recruits
for the surveying and pointing bat
talions in the engineering corps of
the national armv, and all men with
cards signed by an officer of the
engineers are eligible for enlist
ment. White men who have had
former service and are specially
adapted for the handling of colored
men are wanted as non-commis
sioned officers in these service
battalions. There is also a de
mand for men who have experience
as chemists, gas workers, steam
fitters, acid workers, fire fighters,
mechanical gas engineers, black
smiths and plumbers. Any good
man with or without service pre
viously will be accepted for the
Coast artillery.
Money Wasted.

Death Rate Among Poets.
Poets that can be killed by the rid!
1 OTle of those who do not understand
i them are better dead, and they have
never succeeded in saving their lives
by their explanations. The world will
never kill a poet because he is an im

one thing that it surely will do; it
will kill an imagist or a vers libriste
because he is not a poet, and that side

FABMIBS WHO W!$SEO FIRST
HAVE CHANCE ON SECOND
Campaign for NaWBond Issue Begins
When Crops Are Marketable and
Ready Money U at Hand.
In the first Liberia Loan campaign,
| many of the farmers of the country
were not reached, and subscriptions
from rural commttees were few.
There were several reasons for this,
the foremost of when was that the
loan was put out lr the spring, when
they were busy w'H their crops, and
It was difficult for the canvassers to
Interview them. Tian, too, they had
to borrow money for their planting.
Now their crops are in, and at the
present high price € foodstuffs they
should have a largr sum of money in
their hands. For t loan of a portion
of that money, the Liberty Rond cam
paigners are now ippealtng all over
the country. The various farm bu
reaus and societies are co-operating
and good results are expected.
Albert R. Mann, dean of the New
York College of Agiculture, is one of
j those who have ben active in this
work. Speaking of he loan and the
farmers' share in it,he said:
"When liberty catfe to America the
farmer helped to t|lng It- He bore
the gun, he contrfuted unsparingly
I of his substance, li fed the armies.
In the present strggle for universal
liberty, I am sure nat he will do no
less, He has alrefly made Hplendid
response to the c^uand for greater
, food production- i look with confl
)
I
| dinciTon his generous contribution to
the Liberty Loan.
"The first loan largely overlooked
the farmer—the efforts were concen
trated In the cities. The second cam
paign should give every opportunity
for farmers as Individuals and in their
organisations to support the govern
ment in its financial program. It is
the highest expression of American
ism that all the people should help
carry the common load in this crit
ical hour.”
