A Feathered Army.
Ever since tne great war started a feathered army has been
lighting day and night, summer and winter, to help the Allies win.
Without the help of these feathered soldiers, our lighting men
would not have had sufficient lood Our Allies would have oeen
facing starvation ami we ourselves would have been little bei er
off.
The margin between srflicient food for absolute necessities
and lamme has been and st 11 is uncomfortably narrow hence the
food restrictions with which we have become so familiar. The
margin is narrow, hal it is sufficient. Haoe you ever realiz'd
that bvl for the biads, the leathered soldiers, that margin might
not f arm probably would not exist today? Jt is an indisputable
fact.
Had a great disaster destroyed all insect eating and vermin
destroying birds two years, or even a year ago, we would, today,
be facing such a food shortage as, in all probability would have
meant the loss of the war. Even as it is, the loss from insects and
from such vermin as rats and mice totals a sum so vast as to be
almost unbelievable. What it would be without the aid of bird-s
m keeping the pests in check fairly staggers the imagination.
But it is not only in France that these featnered soldiers are
waging a victorious war. Ii is in the United Stales, in Oktibbeha
county the same as every wheie. And since we have come to
know their worth this fall and winter should see that they receive
greater care and protection than they have in any former season.

The spirit of democracy demands the

good of all. That spirit is right, but
we are failing to observe it. This is
clearly shown in many ways. I’or ex

is the greatest asset of to-day in our
modem business world. If yon believe
lit. reader, go out to-morrow and try to
(borrow a thousand on yours; you will
find that your character is worth about
thirty cents in I lie open market.
The next glaring example is found in
jour social life. The alarming increase
lof divorce is due primarily to the fact
that a large percentage of the choices
were not based upon character, but
were made amid the glittering lights ol
the ballroom. Marriage is a sacred In
stltutlon, and if if Is to receive divine
sanction must be built upon more than
i a passing whim or liking. Our choices
i should he based upon computability of
! character rather than the kind ol
houses we live in and the clothes we
wear. The trouble in the past has
been that an evening suit, isinglass
pumps and a washboard shirt were
more necessary as a card of admittance
to our sociability and fellowship than
character. I,et us learn to choose our
friends because of their inner attributes
j instead of the outer fixings.
The fallacy of our present day social
! life can be summed up in a liitle ad
vertisement that recently appeared in
our papers. “Clothes make a man.”
(They don’t: you might Just as well buy
a quart of varnish and call it a piano,
Wc need to return again to the type
of fellowship shown by Jonathan and
David, recognizing all humankind as
our brothers, looking beyond the shel
lac and varnish to the real hardwood
of life. A return to this kind of fellow
ship will eradicate forever the strife of
capital and labor and will also remove
a large percentage- of distress and suf
ierlug from the world.
