“The Big Four*’ seems to have
diminished to three of a kind.
There are excellent prospects
for a large crop of presidential
candidates in 1020.
If you have a job to give you
•won.t need a field glass to find a
eturned soldier ready to take it.
With Itlay bolting and Japan
slipping the traces the peace con
ference certainly is experiencing
some hard going.
The central powers may have
"been “chasing rainbows,” but
•our Rainbows in Europe did all
the ehasing themselves.
Besides carrying their fifty
pound packs, the Rainbow divis
ion lads came home staggering
under the weight of their citation
and decorations.
Italy got to the place where
she wouldn’t play in the back
yard or slide down the cellar door
with anybody. So she took her
dolls and dishes and went home.
It is noted this j ear that in
stead of the song-sparrow’s us
ual strain, “sweet, sweet, sweet,
very merry cheer,” he is singing
“Whear, Wheat, Wheat, very,
very, dear.”
In Chicago every purchaser of
$25,000, worth of the Victory
Loan is entitled to a ride in an
aeroplane Some of us would
pay $25,000, (if we had it) to
stay out of the darned thing.
The soldier’s mes 3 kit has been
so long his plate and salad plate
and bread and-butter piate sni
vegetable dish that he is astonish
ed to realize once more how much
china it takes to serve a simple
meal,
The annual celebration of
Mother’s Day takes place next
Sunday, May 11th.
EThere cou'd be nothing more fit
ting for ur to commemorate. T: e
earliest recollections of each of
us center in a mother’s devotior.
No relationship in the world
entails as much self sacrifice as
that of mother and child. From
utter helplessness to full maturi
ty, every step of the child’s life
is guarded by the m >ther’s sym
pathy and wisdom.
MOTHERS’ DAY.
The mothers of this country
deserve especial recognition this
year. Since entry fo America
into the war so many of our
mothers have seen their sons go
away at the call of their country
to certain privation and hardships
to possible death or mutilation.
Courageously and cheerfully the
mothers have made their scari
fice. Letting their beloved sons
go with a smile and an encour
aging word, the mothers have
devoted thimselves to “keeping
the home fires burning.” The
remembrance of the cheerful and
uncomplaining mothers at home
has helped and strerghtened
many a soldier on the fields of
France.
And now the sons are coming
home again with a full sense < f
what the mother-live and the
mother presence mean in their
lives. The observance of Moth
ers, Day and the wearing of the
white carnation will stand fora
deeper reality this year than ever
before.
To the gold star -Mothers,
whose sar.s can r.ot crm» again,

On a Sabbath afternoon a few

passelh understanding was in
his heart. He was alive to what
was going on in the worlJ, and
he was always deeply interested
in the progress of his Redeemer’s
Kingdom.

The Poor
Excuse Series
; Poor Excuse No. 1.
“I bought bonds while the war vraj
on; now ray duty is tow’ard my fam
j ily and my business.”
! Is that so? The war was fought to
j orotect your family and your business,
i ; and now you convict yourself of in*
( gratitude by refusing to lend to pay
1 for that protection.
Poor Excuse No. 2.
"Let the banks take the loan;
they’ve got money.”
Yes, they have money. They have
your money and your neighbor’s anJ
your neighbor’s neighbor’s money.
These deposits in banks must taketho
loan. The loaning surplus in bank?
must be counted upon to keep busi
ness going. All the banks in America
couldn’t float the loan with their own
money.
Pcor Excuse No. 3.
"The bonds of former Liberty
Loans are below par. I can’t buy
notes on a down market.”
What do you care what the bond
market is if the Government premise?
to pay you par at maturity? Did th?
Yanks fail to fight because they wer:
below par (n the estimation of th?
enemy? No. They proved themselvc i
above par when everything \vs.»
against them.
Pcor Excuse No. 4.
“I am not rich and I might have t i
sell my Victory Liberty note at ./
sacrifice some time.”
All you could pcssibly sacrifice by
buying ail the notes you could buy
and selling them atj'a less couldn’t b:
classed as a real sacrifice when com
pared with that made by the boys wh:
fought for you. Don’t let a return** 1
wounded scldier hear you make th:J
pica.
Poor Excuse No. 5.
"I’ll not subscribe to the Victory
Liberty Loan. I might need my money
for an emergency.”
Emergency, eh? The wa- itself was
an emergency. If It hadn’t been wci
for you that would have been you
real emergency. -
Pcor Excuse No. 6.
"The Loan? Oh, the war cost too
much money. There was waste.”
Did you ever know of a hurried jot
without waste? We got into the w«.i
with a standing start. Everythin j
had to Le rushed. Wc are not a r...
lion that practiced war every da/
Prices were already high from war i
fi'icnces. The Government had t .
spend money and do it quickly. B;
t! e waste of money, if it was wast
produced an end of war which save,
the lives of 103,000 soldiers who wcu!
have found graves in France i**tr.
war had lasted another six month .
Do you call that waste?
Peer Excuse No. 7.
"I’m exhausted with \v;,r work.”
Co were the boys who fought. C I
they didn’t stop. They weren’t qu .
tore. And theirs was real war work.
Poor Excuse No. 8.
"I understand some of the mo*’c>
cf the Loan 13 to pay contracts fi 1
munitions we never used. I don’t lil.t
to pay for ‘dead horse’!”
You are the man who would ha*, j
the tailor make a suit of winter
clcthes to your measure and then r<>
futc to pay for it because the weather
turned unexpectedly warmer.
Poor Excuse No. 9.
"Makers of munitions are wealth*
men. *~Let them carry the burden cl
the Loan.
3 hen you would refuse to pay your
g-occry bi.'ls because yoyr grocer own?
his home while you rent. Never mind
Ti c wealthy men are sweating greal
d~ops of perspiration over their in
come tax and their war profits tax
They kr.ov; there lira been a war, an J
they're being asked to subscribe tc
the Loan, 100.
Poor Excuse No. 10.
"I believe the Go\ernmer.t
have contracted for co much stuff ; .
advance. I d be willing to subscrlt.
to pay for material we had used.’’
Oh. that’s it? Then you would pav
the doctor who attends your sick bab /
only in case the baby dies, and yc \
wouldn’t pay for medicine that cure »
the baby unless the medicine wna a .
used.
Poor Excuse No. 11.
"Cut I haven’t the cash just no /
to lend.”
Then lend your credit. The solrfie*
gave up his present and even mor •
gaged his future. He gave for yc,
and now you balk at lending you.'
