Wisconsin BrilJ^ rRy - Khome Tunefu Topics fonduclcd fiv NATIONAL SECtmirr LEAGUE, I Governor Dorsey writes me that he was requested to name three delegates to attend a conference of the National I Security league, which will assemble • in Chicago at La Salle hotel on Febru ary 21, to continue its sessions, through to the 23d. He was kind enough to {appoint me to be one of the three. {Three alternates were also appointed. I I have no information as to the scope jor authority of the National Security I I presume it means an en | deavor to protect, conserve and co-or dinate every interest and opportunity of the free institutions and constitutional privileges of our government. Some of the most noted men of this nation have promised to address the league, when the delegates arc assem bled. that it will be an interesting oc casion we may confidently anticipate. A moment’s reflection will convince even a casual reader that this world war. in which the United States bears a large part, demands a very distinct and emphatic avowal of what we stand for in government at home as well as abroad. Our international relations are serious and are bound to be perplexing after the war, and the necessity is now upon us to secure, beyond peradventure, these nation’s fundamental or basic principles. It would be folly supreme to imperil one of our national definers in either state or national legislation. General Washington, in his farewell address, uses the following language: "The independence and liberty you possess are the work of Joint councils and joint efforts of common dangers, suffering and success.”—"To the effi ciency and permancy of your union a government of the whole is indispen sable—Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence I conjure you to be lieve me, fellow citizens, the jealousy I of a free people ought to be constantly \ awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of i the most baleful foes of Republican ’ government." National security means las much or more to us than national defense. We understand that what we hold is to be kept secure; can be main tained securely—if it already properly defended. What the future holds for this nation has not yet been foretold. Certainly patriots should understand that nothing will be permanent that cannot be accurately protected and wise ly defended. MRS, COBBA KARSTS AND WAA IN EUROPE The members of the state and county council of national defense met in the clubrooms at Cartersville to hear Mrs. Coma Harris, the southern novelist and writer, tell of her visit to Kngland, France and Belgium in the autumn of 1914, when the world’s war was young. She reached London on September 2 and left France late in November. She said, among many other interest ing things, that England was not tak ing the war seriously at the start. They were like the majority of Ameri cans just now. ignorant of the im mensity of the undertaking. Lord Kitchener could not wake them up. She heard somebody say, “that London would wake up if an airplane went over them." (We recolleect the German army overran France in 1870.) She men tioned meeting an old lady, poorly dressed, with a market basket on her arm. who needed all she had to live on. But she bought a piece of red flan nel and put the package in her basket, and was about to trudge along, when she was asked why she invested in flannel, as the weather was not severe. ”1 bought it to make into a shirt for some French soldier.” Mrs. Harris said tie French soldiers had each a red flan shirt and they had red breeches (at :.at time), and when they took their oats off they were red all over. She says there is no doubt but the French are more devoted to their coun try than any of the allies. The battle of the Marne was being fought while she was in Europe. There , was unpreparedness to the limit in England. They had to learn war after they were thrust into war. As Ameri cans failed to learn war until they were thrust into war. a year ago. Mrs. Har ris is an expressive speaker, and the clubroom was filled with an apprecia tive audience, men and women. A Very Interesting Letter from Culm San Claudio, Cuba. Jan. 30. 1218. Mrs. W. Fl. Felton, Cartersville, Ga. Dear Madam: I've been interested in reading the items in your section of The Journal, even if I am of the male sex. A lady asks in yours of January 15, relative to cheaper desserts, so I give the following experiments and experi ences. which may be helpful to some that need to be economical as well as ourtselves. We have been for several years con ducting an industrial mission school on the self-sustaining basis for the benefit of the natives. And as we often find it “nip and tuck” how to make ends meet, we find it true that “necessity is the mother of discovery and invention. '* for we must contrive the most economi cal ways to meet our expenses. Especially since the added cost of living by war prices and scarcity of some things through the conservation acts, we have had our ingenuity taxed at times to meet the actual needs, to say nothing of luxuries. All this is a good schooling, for we American people, who, as a rule, have had so plentiful that we have be come more extravagant and wasteful, and we read that the sin of Sodum was “idleness and fullness of bread.” Hence, what we. as a people, would not learn in times of peace and plenty, we must learn through the stormy conditions of war and scarcity. We have been living as largely as possible from our garden; having dis covered that even the new. tender leaves of the sweet potato make good greens, much like spinach. My wife desired some extra desserts for <?hristmas and New Year. Rut we could get neither wheat flour nor sugar So we ground some rice on our kitchen hand-grist mill and substituted it for the flour and used “blackstrap” cane molasses instead of sugar. We bought some dried figs and nuts and put them through the food chopper, and these in gredients. with one egg and proper pro-; portion of salt, cinnamon and soda !tnd water, made us two nice fruit cakes I about sxlo inches in sixe. And they were very palatable and cheaper anil more digestible, too. than the ordinary fruit cakes. And for pies. without pastry, she simply oiled her pie pans and placed over dry corn meal one-eighth-inch • hick and put in the semi-fluid tilling for squash and lemon pies and baked.. They were nice, more wholesome and I cost less labor and material in the way I of fat. Much cheaper milk in the tropics and| our port cities of the states can be had j from the cocoanuA. rather than using i condensed milk. We get them at 7 ho 1 9 cents each. Put through food chop-] per, pour over the pulp from one about i a quart of tepid water, and wjish and squeeze out the milk, which is nice over cereals or to season vegetables Just before serving them. Tse the pulp as dessicated cocoanut. Slncerelv yours for the best method of Dvtug. a H. CARNAHAN. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY IOURNAL. ATLANTA GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1918. i ImERPOX J B > xMiar Children: * This week we are going to talk about your letters —surely you are improving and we want to keep the good work up. Now jt does not matter a bit to me the kind of paper you have to use, a piece, of brown wrapping paper can be made as ne.it as a pin. but for your own sake and mine don’t be careless: try to see just how neat you <an make your letters; also use care in sealing your envelopes some of the letters come stuck Jo the envelopes and besides looking “mussy” are often responsible for a torn letter. Try to put your thoughts into not more than 150 words—that gives everybody a better chance of getting in—-and above all remember not to write on both sides of a sheet of paper. I know I have said that, often, still some of you either fail to read or forget. No letters will be published unless signed with the correct name of the writer and the address given. The reason for our Letter Box is that we may know each other. This brings me to something else I have had in mind for some time. Next week I believe we will call our ‘‘introduction week, and we will publish quite a list of cousins with their addresses. Then as we have the space we can publish their letters, or better still, another letter of theirs with some later thoughts and suggestions. We will in that way be able to correspond either through the paper or by letter with so many more cousins. Don't you think that will be a good idea? Lovingly, AUNT JULIA. Dear Aunt Julia: May I come again to chat , awhile with the cousins? Say, cousins, isn't the letter box progressing nicely? I ntiink so. Please move over and give me a seat by Ber nice Beaty, as I think her letters are just fine. Well, I will close with a poem: If I had but the voice to reach The German soldiers on the field. Would tell them they would save their homes .And lives if they would only yield. If they would only call for peace. Demand democracy as well. Then it would give them sweet release. And stop tb* kaiser’s horrid bell. 'Twotild give them freedom, one and all: 'Twould give them back their homes again. And make them free from kaiser's call. IV>r war would never come again. Oli. German soldiers, now arise. Shako off your yoke of tyranny: Demand your freedom ’ncath the skies. Ami evermore your liberty. Aunt Julia: If Mr. Wastebasket comes in, just give him a box on the ear. Well, good-by. HOYLE O. MARTIN. Coneord. N. C„ R. F. D. 1. Box 112. Dear Aunt Julia: Please admit another North Carolina girl into yor happy band of cousins. I live in the country.

In the January Bth number a letter from Cousin Lucy Martin, of Alabama, asked to hear some of the cousins from the northern states. So we comply with her request. We have had a long, severe winter, and the scarcity of coal and wood has made it the worst in many years. This is a dairy country; 12,000 cows are kept in the country.
