Pag WHAT WILL You TELL YOUR wire? | sr; of how Mary was trap- ir home, and how William, with his wife rath- , between life and death, he forsook children and sought death—because fate had sentenced the wife to die be- neath the crushing force of a railroad train. Now, why did he share that sentence with her? W his heart a greater love for her than for his children? tell of the wonderful love he lavished upon the children, oldest not 6 y as it because there dwelt in His mother and his friends ars. Why did the father not stay with the children, now in dire need of a father’s love and the supporting hand of a parent? doing he could not even hope | if lengthen her existence one brief second? Yes, his children needed him. They need him now. all the years of their lives. The annals of human history are filled with stories of self-sacrifice, of husbands who gave up life in endeavors to rescue beloved wives upon the very precipice of the Beyond; of wives who have. sacrificed their all to save their hus- bands from the hand of death. Such stories are not un- common. They happen often, all around us. But William Tanner's sacrifice was of a different weave. It aimed at @ goal higher than saving life! Courting death to save life is sacrifice really and truly, but seeking death as William Tanner sought it—with his purpose ahead—that is sacrifice SUPREME. It marks the oe of human love, the summit of human endeavor, the eight of all that man can do. When man flings himself into rushing rapids to rescue life, when he leaps into a fiery furnace to save a human being, when he dodges bullets on the field of battle to aid a stricken comrade, always before him he sees the goal of saving life, and the hope of returning unscathed. But William Tanner had neither of these before him. He knew he stood in the path of death, sure and awful. He kmew he could not, by standing so, lengthen the life of his Wife one minute, nor spare her one twinge of physical pain, and yet he made the sacrifice! Back of him his children were calling. He knew their need for him. He was a father. They needed their father. He knew they we need him for years to come. But there stood his wife—THEIR MOTHER!—and her life was @ matter of moments, but in th few moments she needed the strength and support of love as she had never before needed it, and as her children may never come to know. And that was why William Tanner gave his life— Because his wife, in one brief moment, needed more of his life, his love, his sheltering arms, than their children Will need in all the years they have to live. So he chose to live with her that moment—and to die with her, for to have lived with her that last moment) Meant dying with her. _ And who of us mortals can say that this one moment of their lives was not the greatest, the most intensely lived moment, given to any human being? ’ Some of us have asked ourselves the question, “Which is the greater, the love for wife, or the love for children?” and we have followed it with another, “Which should be the greater?” forgetting that in the last minutes of life for William and Mary Tanner that was not the question William Tanner had to answer. It was this: _ Did the wife need him more in that last minute than their children will need him in all their lives? William Tanner’s answer, we believe, was right. Don’t you? The Fat Lady and the Wild Man of Borneo in a Maine carnival struck for more pay to meet the H. C. of L. but the Living Skeleton seems to have found competition too keen to join the strikers. | Around the Circle Times change, we say, yet the problems and the perplexi- ties of our age are strangely akin to those of generations long since turned to dust. Old wars were followed by famines and food costs went up after the Napoleonic wars and at the close of the Ameri- ean civil war. Profiteering, under the name of “forestalling,” made punishable by death in the 14th century. Labor once had a controlling hand in the management \of industry thru the guilds of the middle ages. Industrialism has brought about an approach to a con dition which many students insist parallels the feudal state. The pestilential flu, as an accompaniment of war, was only a revival of the partnership between war and plague. And no matter how well we finally manage, civilization will have its troubles centuries hence. Discontent and change are themselves as old as man, the fretful being who came out of a tree to live in a cave, out of a cave to occupy a hut, out of a hut into a cabin, out of a cabin into a house, out of a house into apartment hotels and skyscrapers and who now goes back at least as far as the hut in his vacation dreams! was Herbert Hoover says food is going to cost less. Julius Barnes says wheat will go higher. Most of us believe what we want to believe.

Ladies sad gents, we say it’s cheer for all of us because what to material, dyes and wear and tear, is good for waists is good for shirts President Mos hn, after due deliberation by his league, at Chicago, proclaims “the waist dyed with American dye will keep its color thru the wash of 1920.” “There isn’t a color on our card,” he adds, “that will not hold out as long |{’ #s the fabric.” Let joy be unconfined, fellows! loyal and true to us.
