In the concise language of the Frenchman, “‘there is no more Russia,” at least so far as counting for a vital, aggressive force in the conflict. If we in this country have not yet fully conceived what this fact por- tends, it is well that we consider the situation very seriously. army of seasoned fighters on the eastern front, they are now withdrawing British lines. . It means that under present conditions it is a physical impossibility for the entente armies to gain even a nominal victory. the field is a stand-off. freedom will lose the fight and America will go down in the ruins. with England and France defeated, or even nominally victors, and a still powerful Prussian autocracy speeding itself over the earth, the future of democracy will be dark indeed. If every man and woman in America will get firmly in mind the fact that WE must win this war if it is to be won; that if it is lost our own ideals and institutions are in grave danger, then and not until then will we be in an attitude to face the task that is ours. The God of Hosts can find no use for the man who, “having put his hand to the plow, turneth back.” POTASH POSSIBILITIES Discussing the use of potash in America a German professor declares: “It is in Germany's power to dictate which of the nations shall have plenty of food and which shall starve.” Bosh! Our Mr. Walter Kutzleb as- sures us that by proper co-ordination of effort this country can produce 2,000,000 tons of potash annually which could be sold to American farm- ers at $15 per ton. The trouble with us has been that we could get this product so cheaply from Germany that we neglected to develop our own power of production of potash. We should give Germany a taste of her own medicine after the war, and put such a rate of duty on potash that it will keep the German product out and encourage home production. Many a gay old bird tells the truth in his sleep and then lies like the devil to square himself next day. “Let us make ‘the bondholders’ and ‘the people’ interchangeablt terms."—Theodore Roosevelt. “Every man and woman in the country must get behind the Liberty Loan.”—Secretary McAdoo. “To our task we dedicate our lives and our fortunes.”—President Wilson. Down with the food hog—or “up with him” would be better.

I know of little better worth remem- bering as we grow old than what pleased us while we were young. With the memory of the kind words once spoken come back the still kinder looks of those who spoke them; and, better than all, that early feeling of budding manhood, when there was neither fear nor distrust. Alas, these are the things, and not weak eyes and tottering limbs, which form the burden of old age. Oh, it we could only go on believing, go on trusting, go on hoping to the last, who would shed tears for the bygone feats of his youthful days when the spirit that evoked them lived young and vivid as before?—Charles Lever. Where Farmhouse Beats Flat. In the Farm and Fireside a writer says: “A farm family living on 160 acres, with the nearest neighbors a quarter of a mile away, can know but little of the annoyance of living in the city with a dozen neighbors constantly look into your windows upstairs as well as down. They can smell your dinner, watch your visitors come and go and scrutinize the contents of your clothesline. . Farm homes have few of these ‘city advantages,’ though I -doubt whether country people fully appreci- ate the privacy of their homes until they go to the city to live.” Her Dilemma. Bessle—Oh, Mabel, I am in an awful dilemma. I've quarreled with Harry, and he wants me to send his ring back. Mabel—That's too bad. Bessie— But that isn’t the point. I've forgot- ten which is his ring.—Puck. Even Steven.’ “Do you ever forget to mail the let- ters your wife gives you?" “Not any oftener than she forgets to take the studs out of my dress shirt before sending it to the iaundry.”— Detroit Free Press. —You Unawares— This store is filled with every summer need.
