LAQUA 4§ INSRRATN 2\ THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER ADMIRING THEIR CAPTURED SOUVENIRS Two Canadian soldiers examining and admiring the souvenirs they took from the Huns while the fighting was still going on in France. ONE LESSON TAUGHT BY WAR Seems Certain That Soldiers WIlI Spread Knowledge of the Value of Outdoor Living. Most of us are already planning what we shall do “when the boys come homel’ . .. They have been away §0 long,on such a dangerous heroic mission, that when they come back we will love them more and treat them better than ever before. We will appreciate them —and take more time from our fool- ish hurryings for love and comrade- ship. We will spend more time enjoy- ing the human companlonshlp of the boys and each other. But If we spend more time with them we'll have to spend it out of doors—for they won't stay in the house to play! The men in the army and navy, drawn from the cooped-up places of modern soclal and industrial life, have suddenly been taught the uses and de- lights of plain, everyday fresh air. They like it so well that they won't be content with any other kind. They have learned what it is to sleep under the stars—a joy once reserved to tramps and poets. They have watched the exuberant glory and triumph of rosy sunrise and learned the solemn beauty of creeping twilights, “In Flanders flelds where popples grow” they have learned a new and mighty language of the comupon grass and flowers, and thrill to the song of the lark that braves the battleflelds as they never thrilled to solemn or- gan tones. A day in_June or October is more to them than a square on the calen- dar. It I8 a God-given time of sun and alr, and work and play, and friendshlp and service—a glorious period of full use of mind and soul and body—for splendor of living un- AN~~~ guesséd In the Old cooped-up life of indoors. The soldiers have learned that out- doors is not just en Interlude between work and home and amusement. Out- doors is fréedom and health and hap- piness—and if we want to work and play with them hereafter we too shall have to follow them out-of- doorl— Chicago Evening Post. IRISHMAN’S LUCK, Private Charles M. Davies of the Canadian army, a Los Angeles man, has his own supply of war jokes. . He tells about the little clusters of white crosses that are always found back of the third line trenches. Each cross is marked “Un- krown R. I. P.” These initials are susceptible to varying interpreta- tion. The Canadians say they mean “Rest in Pieces,” which is sometimes literslly true. The Americans have other theories. “The other day as I was passing one of the little gardens,” Davies writes, “l1 ran into a couple of Yanks giving the R, 1. P. crosses the once over. ‘By golly,” one of them said, ‘the Royal Irish Police must have got a h—1 of & hckmg around here ’rn IN THE FUTURE. “There is one time coming when men will really enjoy their wives® biscuits and rolls.” “What time is that?” “When we look back and remem- ber the war bread mother used to make.” HELPED TO “FIND HERSELF” » How United States Employment Serve ice Is Enabled to Render Aid to Woman Who Needs It. The United States employment service not only helps a woman to find a job, but in many cases the service helps a woman to find her- self. The average woman who has never earned a dollar in her life is very often under the impression she is not qualified for any vocation, yet she may have had real training. Here is a case in point. A woman of refinement called at a United States employment office in New York city, said she had no qualifi- cations, had never earned money, and asked -for suggestions on what kind of training to take. The ex- aminer in charge questioned the ' ° woman very carefully and discov- ered she had done considerable re- search work in the last four years on some important law cases for her husband and had also done a great deal of statistical work for him. The examiner found the applicant s place at $100 a month doing statis- tical work. In a short time the wom- an was promoted to an $1,800-a-year job. In less than a year this woman qualified so successfully she is now holding down & $3,000 job. CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING Mrs. White—Well, Uncle Georga, for what were you especially thank- ful this year? Uncle George—I was thankful that little Evelyn ain’t twins and little Clifford ain’t triplets! PREFERENCE FOR IMPROMPTU. “What would you do with the ex- kaiser ?”’ “That’s one of those cases,” said Cactus Joe, “where I don’t see any necessity of plannin’ ahead. If I was to get a chance at him I'd trust myself to think of something ap- propriate on the spur of the mo~ ment.” L IlmIlIfliIIIIluIImIl|IlII|ll|Illll!lllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllIIllllllllflTlllllllllllllll [T There’s a downright satisfaction in doing your Christmas buying at this store.
