RPESIDENT WILSON COMMENDS BIBLE T0 U. S. SOLDIERS Philadelphia, Aug. 17.—Out of the rush of his war-driven life President ‘Woodrow Wilson has taken the time to write a personal message to the soldiers and sailors of the American army and navy, commending to them the daily reading of the Bible. The message was written at the request of Robert B. Haines, Jr., sec- retary of the American branch of the Scripture Gift mission, whose of- fice is in Philadelphia, and will ap- pear on the front flyleat of an edi- tion of 75,000 copies of the New Tes- tament, beautifully illustrated in colors, and especially prepared for the men of the American army and navy. The president’s message follows: “The White House, Washington, July 23, 1917.—The Bible is the word’ of life. I beg that you will read it and find this out for your- self—read, not little snatches here and there, but long passages that will really be the road to the heart of it. You will find out it full of rea]l men and women not only, but also of the things you have wonder- ed about and been troubled about all your life, as men have been al- ways; and the more you read the more it will become plain to you what things are worth while and what are not; what things make men happy—Tloyal, right dealing, speak- ing the truth, readiness to give ev- erything for what they think their duty, and, most of all, the wish that they may have the real approval of the Christ, who gave everything for them; and the things that are guar- anteed to make men unhappy—sel- fishness, cowardice, greed and every- thing that is low and mean. When you have read the Bible you will know that it is the Word of God, pecause you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness and your own duty. “WOODROW WILSON.” CAT ADOPTS SKUNKS Pierre, S. D., Aug. 17.—On the Pit- lick ranch, just north of here, an old mother cat has adopted a litter of skunks. Taking advantage of her charity, other young skunks have been brought to her to be raised for their valuable pelts. The cat gives her foster children every at- tention that could be conferred upon real little tab’s. THE GREEN CROSS. Oh, sisters dear, and did you hear The news that’s go- - ing round ™= 02 the bright green cross that's being worn ' s? By tillers of 'w' ground? Suffragists of the National American Woman Suffrage association who have raised themselves to be soldiers are putting out one of the most effective of war buttons. It is a vivid Erin green cross on a white background. Above it are the words “Soldiers of the Soil” and below it the Initials “N. A, W. S. A,” for National American ‘Woman Suffrage Association. The green cross button is advocated by the national chairmen of suffrage agriculture and suffrage thrift, Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers of New York and Mrs. Walter McNab Miller of Missouri, who are in charge of the departments of food production and food conserva- tion of the suffrage association. Their committees report suffrage work along these lines in more than thirty states. The buttons may be worn by all of the Z.000.000 women of the association working to raise or conserve food for winter use. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the association, qualified as a “sol- dier of the soil" by putting up many cans of food for winter use. gdfii Tre Xq the Dodging a Twenty Hour Day. “Aren’t you going bome?" inquired Mr. Dolan. “Not this day nor tomorrow,” replied Mr. Rafferty. *“I'm not going to work more than eight bours a day. and the only way I can be true to my principles is to stay away from home, where they're taking down the stove and shaking rugs.”—Washington Star.
