(Established 1873) NURSING THE NICKEL Some of our comic artist friends have gone far out of the way to make sport of fellows who are not as “loose as ashes” with their money. They call them “nickel nursers.” The “good fellow” spendthrift is given a niche several degrees higher than that upon which they place the “nickel nurser.” - ‘In real life, it doesn’t work out that way. Usually the “nickel nurser” has money when that proverbial rainy day rolls round. He owns his home. He educates his children.. He has something laid by for Liberty Loan and Thrift Stamp investments. It is seldom that a nickel nutser’s widow has to take in washing to sup- port the children after their daddy has’ passed away. If it were not for the man who is as “loose as ashes” with ‘his money, orphan asylums would have many vacant. rooms. 3 If all.our war song writers.could be marshaled upon the west front, Hun gas would be outgassed. MISSIONARIES TO GERMANY If there has been any doubt that the Hun Gott and the .God of. Christianity were two different and distinct entities, it has been dispelled: by the Corpus Christi day’ signed article of Pastor Ed- uord: Falck, one of the most noted “divines” in the German empire. The article appeared in the Berlin Morgenposte. If:there is any doubt in the minds, of Ameri- cans'that the German nation, root and branch, is not saturated with the brutality and treacherous hypocrisy of kaiserism, the words of this-pastor to his“flock dissolve it. Pastor Falck says: The spirit of Pentecost is the spirit of ac- tion, and since the first Pentecostal day that dawned over the hills and valleys of Judea nineteen hundred years ago, no people on earth have more brilliantly fulfilled this Di- vine doctrine than the German. It was the inventive German spirit, the spirit of seclusion and holy. concentration, that built for itself the slender airship which at length fulfilled the ideal dream of human- ity: . It created the marvel of the U-boat, which defies all the cunning counter measures of the enemy, and day by day breaks off piece after piece of England’s world prestige. It brought forth that stupendous piece of artillery whose fire reaches to. the ethereal regions of the atmospheric ocean and carries death and devastation across a distance of 70 miles into the ranks of the foe. The German spirit creates order *there where the ill-directed impulse toward “so- * called “freedom” has crushed into fragments .all that is decent and orderly, and has turned everyday life into chaos. In this way the German spirit, the spirit of Pentecost, which is the spirit of action, comes as a blessing also to other nations besides our own, because it is the one true representa- tion of the force of Christianity. After the war the missionary organizations of our churches may well consider the practicability of sending missionaries to Germany to convert the Hyns to. Christianity. ».MORE STEAKS. AND PORKCHOPS .Mrs. liza Shepard is the manager of the Jack London ranch at Glen Ellen, Cal. Because of that America has more and better ‘beefsteaks and porkchops. Among other things, Mrs. Shepard is the#champion Shorthorn- woman expert of the Pacifi¢ coast, and what she doesn’t know about the’ justly celebrated Duroe-Jersey hog is hardly worth; crowding into one’s cranium. It was a long time ago that Mrs. Shepard ar- rived‘at the understanding that only the best hogs and cattle are worth boarding, and she set herself to the task of studying cattle and ho¥s, and how to get the most meat out of them at __ the: least- expense. ite [feet iain jon, OF problem, she found, lay in I Just conimon scrub stock wasn't th . Ave. Bite, iy CHCA Marquettey’ good enough for her. And having only one head on her shoulders she didn’t try to improve on every breed of cattle and hogs. Just picked out Shorthorn cattle and Duroc-Jersey swine, and hav- ing chosen them, Mrs. Shepard tried to make the livestock on Jack London’s ranch the best profit- earners. Practically everyone now knows what -Mrs. Shepard and a few other wise livestock experts learned years ago, that the nation’s meat and milk supply will rapidly dwindle as big ranches are cut up, unless only the most profitable animals are raised.. These are the pure bred. By wisely building up such a herd of cattle Mrs. Shepard won championships and grand champion- ship ribbons several times. A mere ribbon, be it red or blue, means little to the lover of beef- steak or the eater of ham, but because there have been many such ribbons pinned on prize cat- tle and hogs there are now in this country more beefsteaks and porkchops—and more milk and cheese and butter. 3 If there had been no such wise persons as Mrs. Shepard in the livestock industry most city peo- ple, more than likely, would have seven meatless days each week, not only during the war, but after, too. | WITH THE EDITORS ~ | A QUIET EXPERT AT WORK Scarcely anything has been heard about Charles E. Hughes since he was commissioned by Presi- dent Wilson some weeks ago to investigate the subject of aircraft production in this,country, but we may rest assured that Mr. Hughes has been industriously at work -at his task and that he already has accumulated masses of information on which to base his report in due course. Mr. Hughes knows as well as the next man how to keep his counsel. He is not given to pre- mature discussions of public business in which he has an official interest. In his famous investi- gation of the conduct of insurance companies a few years ago he had nothing to say until he- was sure of his ground. He has a way of getting down to bedrock facts, of sifting out the essen- tial from the unessential, of giving the proper proportion to what he discovers and of establish- ing vital relationships between’ facts. ~ What the nature of his. disclosures -will be is conjectural at this, time, but his findings are BISMARCK’ DAILY TRIBUNE <= aarvaen(o _ : QUENTIN Here's a’ ‘hand to you, T.

Tribune. IN RUSSIA 3 Germany is not to swallow the Russian pigeon as easily as Potsdam hoped. The appeal of the Murman coast people for help from the allies, the » | guerrilla warfare in Ukrainia, the burning of grain and supplies, the threat of famine, the check at Vladivostok, and now the assassination of her powerful emissary, Von Mirbach, at Moscow are vexations, if not perils, The killing of .Mirbach is a rather serious incident. Prussian prestige must be maintained, but if the instructions. given by the kaiser to the German expedition in China after the assassination of Von Ketteln are fol- lowed, hopes of peaceful penetration will come to an abrupt end. The Russians have been a patient people, but they will not accept frightfulness very amiably. The German steel shod boot cannot trample them into permanent submission and its brutal pressure will undo all the pro-German prop- aganda since the fall of Nicholas. .Then there will be no crops for Germany. Then the east front We must pray for more German logic. Not that we wish Russians to suffer more than. need be for their eventual salvation from Prussian dom- ination—Chicago Tribune. PROHIBITION IN CANADA Prohibiting the use of grain for making intoxi- cating beverages means much more to a country than the conservation of food in the view of com- petent observers in Canada. Its éffect on civilian morale is markedly beneficial.. Crime and juvenile delinquency decrease, and better’standards result in home and business life. We summon as. wit- ness Mrs. R. R. Jamieson, judge of the juvenile, court in Calgary, Alberta, who says: Not only the police, but the juvenile court became deserted, and the numberof girls I have had to deal with has fallen off greatly since prohibition was declared. Among the children, too, our cases have fallen off.- It just means that the homes are better looked after and that we are strengthening the sin-, ews of war. A few months after prohibition went into effect in Winnipeg the police force was greatly. reduced. The city was obliged to hire men to clean streets and work around the government buildings be- cause labor sentences for minor offenses became { the German author, ells the following will blaze forth again, if not in formal operations, | at least in a guerrilla warfare almost as costly. to}: {deal with. : But there's) no a man will differ ‘in his attitude today; - Grieving, one and all: we. stand,’ Aching just to: touch. your hand RES D STORY ABOUT .

The government commandeered more than 100 lake boats for ocean traffic. , Passenger business has been un- usually heavy thus far, while the coal trade has not-come up to expecta- tions. * ‘Two reasons ‘are given for the ca- pacity passenger traffic. It is be- lieved many persons chose summer trips by water routes to help lessen the strain and the railroads. At the same. time, it was pointed out that summer traffic started about the time .|that the increased passenger rates on Tailroads became effective. Anthracite coal received up to July 1, totalled 374,600 tons, a’decrease of 65,645 tons from last season. Soft coal receipts were 1,992,200 tons, an in- It is believed that the anthracite movement will grow steadily heavier from now on. The total ore shipped from this dis- trict’ in the first six months of 1918 was 14.125,708 tons compared with, 11,394,621 tons in 1917.

How a division of Amerfenn soldiers in France played rayen ta the Elijah of a family of starving French refu- gees, found.cowering in the attic of an old ment. market, and how Elijah, in turn, made the ravens comfortable, 1s told in this story, written by. a Y.

Two days of marching had left them stiff and tired. + “The Y. M. C. A. men had gone ahead of them. They knew that the troops would be in a certain village by a certain time. So they loaded three big trucks with canteen supplies, hus- tled'to the village, and looked around for a canteen. Find Family in.Want. “They found an old meat market with shutters up, located the owner, and got the key. The supplies were unloaded, and the trucks started back to town, The two men left behind to ‘open up’ lighted a candle, and began an investigation of the place. “Up the .steep stone stairs they found a room, with a family of refu- gees crouching inside. ‘The old fire place had been opened. A few twigs, the size of a lead pencil, made a fire as big ask coffee cup. “4 mother nursing baby sat on the floor in front of the fire,’ two small girls whose eyes seemed unnaturally big in their thin, little faces cowering near her, scared by the steps they heard. A daughter about fifteen years — old was cooking some norfdescript bits of: food in an old frying-pan. The fa- ther, a little man, badly crippled in the early battles of the war, started for- ward as the strangers approached, “They’spoke no English.and our men spoke no French, but suddenly. they tunderstood. These were ‘les Amert- canines!’ They would’ not be hurt. They were ‘even going to be fed. “When the American soldiers'came ” they found the niother making choco- late for them, while the oldest daugh- ter scrubbed up the. old market, hum- ming the ‘Marselllaise’ as she. worked.

Adopt Family. “As they entered, the crippled little Frenchman, busy opening packing cascs, straightened himseif as well as he could, nnd saluted. them. There was pride in the way he did it. He had-worn a uniform, too. “The American boys adopted the family at once. ‘Phe Y. M. C. A. men had fed the refugees, of course, but the soldiers insisted upon buying them more food in the canteen. They tossed the baby in'the air, and began teach- ing the little girls American slang. “That night there was a real fire in the fireplnce upstairs and rea) food on the table. Windows, boarded up so long, were open. The family chattered away at the top of their voices, instead of whispering, as .they had done.
