Olivet Wendell Helmet THE CONNECTING LINK When a young man leaves his home to enter a military training camp or to go to the trenches in Eu ' rope his life is revolutionized. His environment, his associations, his work, his duties are completely '"hanged. From a free agent in a peaceful community, he is abruptly transformed into a cog in a great fighting machine, the object of which Is to kill and maim and destroy. This sudden plunge into the hardening in fluences and manifold temptations 'i'':h surround a fighting army is a severe strain upon the ties which bind a hoy to his home and to his Meals. To relieve this strain as much as possible is the duty and privilege of those for whom these young men have sacrificed so much. Those who can not go to the front "an show their patriotism and in vest in our fighting men by giving ■heir dollars to maintain the war Wo"k of the Y. M. C. A.

Sayre, &«_ knows whereof he speaks by '"tiial experience, says: y 'A large part of the army organi *ucm Is given over to the physical j 86-!** of the soldiers, but the regular "ay organization has had very little S&to concern itself with the sol jSS»' mental needs.

Unbidden thoughts will : press In upon him unless there is | sonic agency to occupy and fill his i mind with wholesome thoughts. Dur ! ing idle hours, his mind will easily \ become a prey to discontent and I querulous complaint, or else to such '' thoughts as should never be har- I bored in a decent mind. flic best agency so tar discovered to meet this need is. I believe, the Young Men's Christian Association. The soldi-"' wanders Into the "V" building, and at once he finds he is not treated as Private Jones, Co. A, Minnesota Regiment, but as a human being and a friend. He walks up to the desk at one end of the build ing; a secretary, perhaps from his own home state, gives him a friendly greeting and asks him how things are going. He finds on the counter files of the magazines he sees at home; he hears a Victrola playing the latest tunes, which he learned just, before he left; lie finds an at mosphere distinctly more like home than anything he has felt since reaching the camp. Perhaps he stays to write a letter home; most soldiers do, and many of the buildings are sending off two and three thousand letters a day. 'Perhaps he decides to have a game of- checkers; or possibly he stays with the crowd to hear the evening address or talk. It may be a lecture on some subject calculated to stimulate his mind, it may be a simple religious talk, perhaps it is an entertainment gotten up for the oc casion —"stunts" by the soldiers of different regiments, or a boxing or wrestling match. At least it is some thing to take his mind off his own lonely and often uncomfortable con dition; and when he goes to his tent that night, he makes up his mind that he will visit the -'V" building again. As lie returns from time to time he gets to know the building j secretaries and sees what they are standing for, he may even feel like joining an entertainment committee j or a Bible group, or serving on a committee to read to, and write let- 1 ters for, the sick men in the hos pitals, or volunteering for some kind of personal work. All this helps to keep a man's mind occupied and fit, just as constant exercise and drill keep his body fit; and in these days of highly scientific warfare, a fit mind is just as important for good soldiering as a lit body." The statement of Mr. Havre is con firmed by letters from soldiers in the cantonments and on the firing line. One of the latter says that at the Y. M. C. A. dugout close behind the lines they received the last word of encouragement, and the last bit of comfort before they went into the front line trenches and the first need- j ed sustenance when they come out. We can all prove our gratitude to and our interest in our soldier boys by giving liberally to the support of the Y. If. C. A. war work. If we have to make sacrifices in order to secure the dollars to contribute to the good cause, we should make them joyfully. In comparison with the sacrifices which the boys are making for us. wo can do but little for them, but we must all do that little prompt ly and gladly, whenever the oppor tunity often WM. YEAR. The notable success of the banker farmer ocnvention will result in spe cial benefits to the State College and to the city of Pullman as well in general benefit to the whole com monwealth. The college will direct ly benefit because it was visited by many influential men from different sections of the state who. by per sonal Inspection, gained a better knowledge of its plant and the scope of its work than they had before. The city will benefit because what ever stimulus the growth of the col lege helps the community In which the institution is located. The state will benefit because important prob lems, having an important bearing on its growth and prosperity, were dis cussed by able and practical men. The city authorities are to be commended for refusing to allow A. D. (Julman to deliver his advertised series of lectures attacking the Ro man Catholic church. This is no time for the stirring up of religious prejudices In this nation and a man Is always in a poor business when be tries to make a living by denouncing any religious organization. If Air. Bulman is looking for a fight, he should direct his energies against the Kaiser, instead of against a great and revered church, which is; giving loyal support to the govern ment in its hour of trial. Lectures of the character advertised by Mr. Bulman should be prohibited as aid ing and abetting the enemy. The young men of the nation are engagliig In the hardest and most dangerous kind of work at $3+) per month. What if they should follow tie- ignoble example of some of their well-paid elders and strike for high er wages? The men and women who are pro ducing and conserving food supplies deserve to be honored. The traitors it. our midst, who are destroying food supplies, deserve to be shot i down without delay or compunction. If you have not bought a Liberty Bond, helped the Red Cross, and made a donation to the war work of the Y. M. C. A. you are neglecting jour duties and privileges as a loyal citizen of these United States. When our hoys are called to de- j fend the- flag, they must go. When our dollars are needed to support ; these hoys, they must come. DID Hilt BIT "Red Cross," the Barred Rock biddy set by Miss Ethel White of Johnson last spring, was auctioned off last Saturday with her brood of 12 chickens for the benefit of the local Red Cross organization. The hen brought $13 and the chickens from $2 to $7 each, the net proceeds of this sale aggregating $50. Nor man Cairns volunteered his services as auctioneer.

Olson, state chem ist,, who has his office and labor atories in Morrill Hull, has complet ed a series of experiments In connec tion with a concentrated breakfast food, and has Invented a food which, if indications fall true, will entirely eliminate Ihe bulk) breakfast cereals from Hit- market, and will find a place in every home. The new food is a combination of corn, wheat, flax, fruit, and other desired foods, and can be prepared from these constitu ents in many different forms. These cereal foods arc made by a '.cry simple process, from either raw or prepared material, and the manufacture does not require skilled labor nor special machinery, hut can be done in every home, without dif ficulty On his laboratory shelves Prof. Olson now has many samples of the breakfast food, some id' it made tip in strings resembling maccaroni; other kinds resembling flakes and small globules. It can be turned out with different degrees of hardness, to suit every taste, and can be sea soiled with any condiment. ln discussion of his experiments, Prof. Olson stated one of the best characteristics of the new food is Its concentration, which enables a very high number of calories In heat value to be put in a small space. This will eliminate the bulky packages in which most breakfast foods are served, and thus conserve trans portation space. "It is doubtful," Prof. Olson stat ed, "if there ever was a time in the history of this nation when it was so urgently desired that people de pend upon themselves as now. Therefore, anything thai the people can he taught to do at home will al low the manufacturers and trans porters to devote their time to more important undertakings, anil in this way will lie a gain in our industrial and economical efficiency and a benefit to every community. As a means toward this end we expect to show bow a part, at least, of the cereal necessitates can he prepared in the home from materials grown in the community." XV. S. C.
