brings the war home to the people
of his community. War awakening
in this way carries the meaning
only to a few, who see only the
horror, blood and heartbreak.
This is unfair to the boys who die
for us. They willingly died for
something, and that something
was for the safety and welfare of
those back home.
“In my opinion,” the officer
continued, “authorities missed a
good bet when the war started by
turning thumbs down on parades
and bands playing martial music.
There’s nothing like a parade, sol
diers marching, flags flying, to
awaken the rallying spirit of the
American public to the call to
arms. There is a glorious sacrifice
to a man giving his life for his
Columbus Enquirer:
This story might be titled "In
flation Hits the Barnyard.”
It’s the tragic story of sky-high
mule jewelry” which is typical of
what goes with the farmer’s mon
ey if he has to make too many
trips to the store. The Albany Jour
nal records it thus:
“No wonder a farmer wants more
money for the stuff he produces.
Listen to this. One farmer, in need
of several bridles, searched every
store in Dawson and Albany for
them.One store informed him that
they had just sold out at $5 each.
The farmer finally got the bridles
in a Leesburg store. They cost him
about $3.50 each. And bridles in
prewar days sold for about $1.25,
Mule jewelry certainly comes high
these days.”

After the blight of winter,
Its frost and its biting cold,
To greet the violet’s incense,
And watch the lily unfold;
To hear in the budding branches
The twitter of nesting birds,
And feel in the heart, long
saddened,
A gladness too deep for words.
This is the Easter message,
This is the seal divine,
As if God said, I will give them
Each year a wonderful sign,
May say to the hearts of men,
“After the grave’s dark shadows,
Ye too, shall blossom again.”
Christ is risen! O listen
The sound of the Easter bells.
Christ is risen! The music
Rises, and deepens, and swells,
Till earth breaks out into music,
And the air is astir with wings,
As if the angels were bending
To hear what the glad world
sings.

Dominating an enfeebled Europe,
which would then be the prey to
social disorder, Germany would in
the course of the next generation
be able once more to undo the
settlement by playing off the wes

Union. To the west Germany will
pose as the bulwark against the
local Bolshevism which will feed
upon the destruction she herself
has inflicted on Europe. In Moscow
she will exploit all the evidences
of western panic about Bolshevism
to poison the minds of the Rus
sians and to provoke them to ac-

With the training the youth of
today are receiving through the
Sunday School, the Boy Scouts and
other organizations we believe
them the more honorable, self-
sacrificing and greater evidence
of good behavior, politeness and
courtesy of any generation of the
past. The story that comes from
the Thomaston Times is only one
of many similar incidents coming
under our observation right here
among us: “Joe Jimmerson, USN,
on leave after boot training lost
his billfold containing about $75,
a pass back to Bainbndge, Md.,
and other valuables Tuesday night
but was lucky about it because
two honest boys found it and
Jimmerson was made happy Wed
nesday when it was returned to
him. The billfold was found by
Charles Brooks and Ovid Shepard,
and they went to considerable
trouble to locate Jimmerson and
return his property.”

fatural nitrate of soda shipments from Chile are arriv
ing on satisfactory schedule. Close to half a million tons
are already here, delivered or ready for delivery. Another
200,000 tons are expected and every effort is being made to
get it here in time for this season’s crops.
If shipping estimates hold, there will be about as much
Chilean nitrate for top and side dressing as last year. But
because all of it is being distributed under the government’s
allocation program, it may be impossible to supply all sec
tions in the same proportions as last year.
If you cannot get Chilean nitrate when you
> want it, remember the inconvenience is only
temporary—one of many dislocations due to war.
Chilean nitrate is here in substantial quantity, but, like
e\ ery good soldier, it goes where it is told and when it is
told by the government.
