Peace !
On account of the awful tragedy
which now almost threatens our very
lives, "The European War," I think
a few words on Peace, might help in
some way to make us realize the ter
rible meaning of the word war.
What is the meaning of this word
peace? In simple language it means,
"a state of quiet or tranquility;free-
dom from or absence ot disturbance,
agitation or disorder." But at this
awiul time it means a great dea'
more to us. It m fans & end to
bloodshed and wicked disasters.
If the many nations which are now
really throwing away the lives of
their people were to stop,say for one
day, and consider how advantageous
peace would be to them, I think it
would help in a great many ways to
put an end to the terrible calamity
which seems to have fallen over the
whole earth.
Think what this war means to the
women abroad. Mothers have lost
their sons; wives are bereaved of
their husbands; children are left
without a father; and many young
girls are bidding farewell to their
sweethearts perhaps never to see
them again. It would be impossible
to describe their sufferings and de
privations. We need to be in their
midst to see what it is, and then we
would realize what peace means to
them.
Just think, by a formula on paper,
called a "Peace Treaty," and the
signature of a few of the , European
Monarchs and this war wouid be over.
But why aremen so greedy, so
avaricious that uiey cannot be con
tent with what God has given them?
It is at these moments tint we see
the animal nature shown forth, for
is anything more like the lowest
animals of the earth than this ven
saciable desire to be ruler of all.
Even among the smallest insects we
find this selfish instinct. True they
do not fight over land,but they fight
over food, which means much more
to them. But they are not to blame,
as they have no brains; but man who
is endowed with intellect cannot help
but know that he is taking innocent
lives on account of his own selfishnes.
If his head will not show him this.his
heart must, unless it be ot stone.
Bryan, one of our greatest States
men, is noted for his desire for peace,
which he has shown m many ways,
especially by his speeches. He has
also asked the Foreign Government
to pass Arbitration Bills, that men
might once more live in harmony. If
all men were to think as he.we would
have no such thing at war to-day.
And yet we do not have to go as far
as Liurope to make peace for we all
know that even in people's own fam
ilies there is a spirit of discontent,
that very often develops into a fam
ily war." Sometimes brothers will
not speak to each other year in and
year out;children leave their Mothers
and fathers and trood homes: and
what is the reason of all this? Simply
nothing more than this very same
spirit of selfishness; and why aie
there so many divorces, breaking the
most solemn bond of all? For the
same reason that people cannot make
a little sacrifice for another to pre
serve peace.

Re-surfacing Roads
There is one thing about the main
tenance of highways that seems
strange to the traveller. Why is it
that road commissioners do not re
pair the highway surfaces on trunk
line roads in the Spring? It would
require a small effort indeed for the
commissioners to take care of the
holes, gullies and loose stones. Yet
they allow these to remain often
until August, a standing menace to
autos.
The automobiles pay a very large
amount of revenue to the State each
year and are entitled to some con
sideration; but nothing so destroys a
good car as to be wrenched and
twisted by holes and trenches that

When the kidneys are strong and
