The idea of the United States govdrnmont is that every square foot of unoccupied fertile land in the United States be put to use. Join the Garden Army Plant something. How about that war garden, have you got it planted? Our exchanges are telling about Mrs.

The yankee lad who tied an alarm clock to the wires on no. man's land and sent consterna tion into the enemy's camp, gave -he Germans an idea what to expect when our boys go to thinking. It will be a Yankee lad that will tie an alarm clock to the foot of the kaiser's bed and he won't get up when it rings.

"The mothers of the world are one in sacrifice, hope and pride in thoirsons and daughters who aro serving their country while their sons are on the battle line. The mothers rejoice that they, too, may serve in the same great struggle for justice and that with ovary rising and setting sun their prayer of gratitude ascend and their hearts rejoice that they are the mothers of men who hold that honor is more precious than life and that the crowning glor-of a nation are justice and mercy." Anna Howard Shaw. The best of all signs are those which toll of the growing unity and resolution of purpose among the people. The gravity of the conflict, the cost in young life each day, the importance of putting our full powers into it, are coming home to the people. They are seeing that it is not to be.

It must be fought out to either victory or i defdat to supremacy for the ideals which America represents, or "supremacy for the German I military power, wnen tins is fully accepted, as it is rapidly coming to be, the real power of this country will come into action. A prayer found iji the pockot of a dead British soldier had this plea: i. "0 God lov and pity, i on the woundod; make bearable tiioir pain; for us at home, let not that open shame be ours; that wo forget to ease the suffering of the near and dear bravo, men in the fighting." The hand that wrote 'those linos now cold in death. Ho' wrote not for himself, but fr his comrades.

He penned a massage to those for whom he sac-rincod his life. Shall we hoed his pleading prayer? Oh, ours be the shame and cowardise if we lot his prayer go unheard. We at home cannot imagine the suffering brought on by this bloody war. Think of our men lying wounded, bleeding and dying in the midst of a terrible ill s-i i I unve. ouiu you imagine anything more cruol, more heart less, than to leave) those noble men who are suffering for us without succor without healing halm for their distress? Your blood boils at the very suggestion of it: your patriotism runs high; you want to help.

Well, here is the way, and now is the time. Get behind the Red Cross drive; contribute what you" can; get others to give; help every movement for the funds for the Red grandest moment in conflict. Those angels of mercy on the field of battle must be helped. THE LITTLE STAR IN THE WINDOW raising ol Cross the the hour of ministering not think that they should have to ask it. They have won a place at- the head of the table for nobleness and personal sacrifice in this war.

Their counsel should be sought and their services to the world recognized. The dogs lying on the shady side of the street in everybody's way, had better hie themselves to a less conspicuous place. The city dads have become very warlike and ordered them shot. They failed to state whether at sunrise or dusk. But June 1st will be their "sunset," and wo are glad of it.

I)y John Jerome Itonnnv There's a little star in the window of uie House across the way, A llttlo" star, red bordered, on irrouml of nenrlv whiti I can see its jrleuni at evening; It is bright at duwn of day.

And I know it has boon' shining inrouKii me long ana ulsmnl nigiit. Tho folks who pass the window on the busy city street, I often notice, turn a glance before thoy hurry by, And one, a rny haired woman, made cunsy, low anu sweet, While something likq a teardrop wns glistening in ner eye. And yesterday" an aged man, by life's stern battle spont, His empty coat sleeve hanging uuwii, a witness snuiy mute, Gave one swift look and halted his form full height, unbent And ore he passed his hand came up in soldierly salute. The little star in the window is aflame wnn living uro, For 16 was lit at the hearthstone wnore a lonely mother waits; And she has stained its crimson with me fjiow ol her heart's desire, And britrhtened its heaven beyond tho world's dark nines. The star shall shine through the bat- ue wnen tne shafts of death are hurled; It shall shine through the long night watches in the foremost trenches' line; Over tho waste of waters, and bc- yond tho verge of the world, Like the guiding Star of the Magi its blessed rays shall shine.

The little star in the window shall beacon your boy's return As his eyes are set to the homeland, when the call of the guns shall cease; In the Flag's high constellation through tho ages it shall burn A pledge of his heart's devotion, a sign of his people's peace. Keep Huns Guessing How an American alarm clock kept the whole German line guessing and causing the Germans useless expenditure of large quantities of machine gun and rifle ammunition has jusl come to light. The Americans had for some time been trying to draw the fire of certain enemy units. "Leave Fritz to me," said i happy-faced young Amerfcar who, putting an alarm clock under his arm, disappeared into No Man's Land under cover of darkness and fastened the clock to" a wire. "Soon the alarm rang, whereupon the Germans opened fire.

The wire had been so arranged that the clock continued to ring intermittenly and each time drew a violent fire from the enemy. Meanwhile, the Americans rested in their trenches and en joyed a hearty laugh. DoYou Sleep Well? To be at his best a man must have sound, refreshing sleep.

He can be made to help wonderfully in developing him into a substantial citizen. early habit of sensibly saving will do as much a any other thing to start him 00 the straight road to success. The other lesson is that of patriotism. He has learned "to do liis bit." A country worth Iivmg nut country worth fighting for. He is too young to but he wants to help.
