Oar Individual Part Some observers think that the most characteristic thing about the American soldiers m France, something which astounds the enemy and excites the ad mit ation of our allies is the capacity of the American soldiers to do Individ ual thinking and fighting. The German fights sucessfully only in mass formation, in organized bodies, while every American soldier has an initiative and Inde pendence ot action which gives bin remarkable efficiency in nnnn fiehtintr. Thev are not wr o rw- senseless cogs, but each is an in dividual working unit in a great fighting machine. Every American at home should feel an individual respon sibility and do his or her Individ ual part in winning the war. There is not an American citizen wiio can not help win the war. T.e Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which begins September 28, offers a great opportunity for concerted action and for individ ual action, and the loan will be a tremendous success if each American will do his or her in dividual part as each American soldier in France does his part. Oar soldiers deserve such sup port from the people at home. BUKNTCABNS. Miss Nora Stratton and moth er has been visiting the past few weeks in the home of Charles Ale Gebee.

In 1017 the total wua 10,0(10, of which there were G04 Juvenile, or uhout 5 per cent. It doea not follow, however, that the hublt of reudlng la not grow ing onions youtha of both hoick, ny Cortland Orcgonlan. Ordinary obser vation and the experience of moat II brarlnn would lndlcute the contrary. Tho fact would accm to bo that tho young folks are more dlscrlmlniitlnff In their tBKtea, that they are reading the mi me thing that their futhera and molhera are reudlne, and that the prac tice of "writing down" to them him consequently become unpopular. There la, after all, a great plenty of hooka made prlmurlly for grownups which also are plenKlng, InHtructlve and Inspiring- to children of various ages. The happy family Is the one which has common flrexlde Interests and there are many such. If the daring Italians who made their way Into an Austrlun naval port und torpedoed a battleship have been cap tured, they will very likely pay a heavy price for the fame which will carry their namea down to posterity as among the hcrouj of naval history, for the Huns are not of a caliber to feel audi men they would hnxf treated a generous admiration for a courage ous enemy. Had the allies captured them with all tho consideration due uuusual bravery, but In German hands they are likely to feel all Unit can bo Inflicted on them by a mean uplrlt of spiteful revenge. ' Two of the torpedo boat destroyers now under construction are to bear the namea of naval oflicers who lost their lives In acts of heroism since the Unit ed States entered the war. These aro Lieut. Stanton Frederick Kalk, officer of the deck of the Jacob Jones, and Gunner's Mute Osmond Kelley Ingram of the Cassln, torpedoed In European waters. The policy of Secretary Dan iels In thus commemorating naval he roes while their fame Is yet fresh In mind la to be commended The movement . to utilize the boy power of the country on the farms Is a good one. It will supply much need ed labor now, and the knowledge It will Impart will lust In usefulness long after the war Is over. Furthermore, Its effect In morale and health In get ting the growing generation next to nuture'a heart will be a vast guln In Itself. Now and then there Is an exception, but as a rule every mean, contemptible act, every unworthy motive or deed, ev ery despicable, shameless and unprln clpled maneuver which man may now and then attempt In his dealings with his fellows, may be set down to th buleful Influence of money. The unRlnkable ship which made a trial voyage ucross the ocean has re turned unsunk. It may still be an ex periment, but so far the result Is en couraging, and may mean another check to the costly depredations of the submarine. The theory that "a man la aa old as his arteries" has possibilities. . There should be some good fighting material among the numerous gentlemen of fifty and upwards who have delighted so ciety with their grace and endurance In the tungo. The alleged discovery of the Swedish naturalist that tho ant Is overrated and that Its ways are not to be con sidered In the pursuit of wisdom Isn't going to help the sluggard under th new Antl-Louflng law. If a U-boat should blow up a sea shore merry-go-round or a sodu foun tain Uerlln would rush Ir.to print with another glowing accoant of an enor mous victory. The bojif.evlkl are considering mak ing labok compulsory. This Is going to be a terrible shock to their American admirers. The most popular of the season's new schemes ure those which promise a reasonable supply of money without work. "Food will win tho war," we are re peutcdly and authoritatively told, but we expect that soldiers will help some. A noted Rabbi once said, "God could not be everywhere, so he made Mother," and her hearty cooperation in the great task of conserving life and health is seen daily in the long line of healthy, neatly dressed boys and girls that march into our public school building. Although many of these motherB are now engaged in helping to win the war by sew ing and knitting garments for 'the boys over there," it is very evident they are not neglecting the future generation. The wise man of old must have had in mind such mothers when he said, Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let rer own works praise her ii the gates." SAVED HIS WOUNDED MASTER French 8oldler Dragged to Safety From No Man's Land by His Dog.. m , a Michel had centered his afTco tioiiHon a young Frenchman, named Henri, whom he followed even into tho trenches, writes Mrs. Elphin ntonc Mnitlund in an article on war dogs, in the People's Home Journal. The feeling, of course, was mutual. Henri loved the dog even to the point of sharing his all with him. Kach day at soup time, Michel would carry his can, place it beside IIcnri'B, wait till it was filled and then trot o(T to cat his meal. , The time, came when Henri, who had gone over the top, failed to re turn after the fight. As man after man stumbled buck to safety, Michel eyed each with the eagerness of anxiety, his nostrils quivering with fear. Hut still Henri failed to ap pear. Then, as the lust of the line clambered back to the trench, tho dog could stuiid his terror no longer. Out he darted over No Man's Land, and presently he returned with a glove that he hud torn from the huiul of his friend. Immediately a litter went out, guided by Michel. They found his master far off, lying cold and still. Deciding ho was deud, lliey departed without him. Michel, however, was not so easily convinced. Time after time he went back for aid, but none was forthcoming. At lust ho left alone. Late that night when comparative quiet had settled on tho trenches, an alert sentinel, keeping guard on a listening-post, saw a dim something that brought his riflo sharply to his shoulder. Not twenty feet away and creeping toward the traverse was object which he could not distin guish. Then the moon came out from behind a cloud, and the senti nel recognized Michel. There he was, breathless and pant ing, but he was not alone. Behind him, his clothes torn by the faithful dog's teeth, was Henri. Inch by inch, the animal had dragged, him from the battlefield, and miracle of miracles I the boy was breaking. How the dog had discovered signa of life in the inert form, which had eluded the trained eye of a field at tendant, the doctor would not at tempt to explain. Henri recovcrwd. He returjied to the trenches, with Michel by his side. FIRST BALLOON WITH RUDDER. The first stecruble balloon, the fore runner of the once-dreuded Zeppelin, was tried in Berlin 3G years ago, but, like many of its descendants, it suf fered an accident and was disabled in tho second experiment, says the New York livening World, llelm liolU was the first to suggest, in 1872, that balloons might bo steered, if jnoving slowly. The principle on which balloons are based was first formulated by Al bert of Saxony, an Augustine Monk, iu the fourteenth century. In 1783 Joseph and Stephen Montgolfler of France made a successful ascent in a fire balloon, and a few months lutcr, in the same year, two Frenchmen made the first ascent in a hydrogen balloon at Paris. READILY EXPLAINED. "I don't quite understand why these airships make the trip faster from New York to Washington than from Washington to New York." "That's because you are not ob serving," replied Mrs. Chuggins. "When we motored last summer I noticed that tho trip from New York to Washington is down hfll neurly all the way 1" PREPARED FOR SELF-DENIAL. "What is your husband's favorite outdoor sport?"
