A MOTHER’S PROMISE
TO HER SON
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
My Dear One—I'm writing this very,
very small and on the thinnest of pa-
per, so that tightly folded it may slip
into one of the olive drab pockets of
your new uniform without encroaching
for the tiniest part of an inch upon all
the new things that you must have
there—the passports and identifica-
tion slips and photograph, the knife
and pen and writing pad, the lists
and numbers and names and ciphers,
the address book and the thin manual
you have been studying so hard and
the slim little Bible, for this letter is
a part of your equipment, too, or at
least I like to think that it is.
I'm going to tell you in it just one
or two of the things we've been try-
ing not to sayin these last days. You've
said to yourself, haven't you, that
there were possibilities that I, thank
God, hadn’t seemed to think of.
You've marvelled gratefully, haven't
you, that I could say goodby with
dry eyes and talk about what we
should do when the war is over. My
dear, there is nothing—nothing—that
can happen to you that I haven't fore-
seen in every détail since May, since
the very beginning of it all. I know
that some of our mren are not going to
come back. I know—as I write this
in the room you love—that your fin-
gers may fumble for this little piece
of paper in seme dreadful hour, a
month or two months or six months |

time, just to feel
from now, just to
more for the last
in your fingers out there in a shell
lighted battlefield something that I
have touched—for goodbye.
And thinking ef all this for almost
a year while you've been getting
ready to go I've been getting ready to |
it over once |
stay. Just as you planned I planned,
and I said to myself: “When the time
comes for us to part I shall make him
a promise.” Dear one, this is my
promise, and I make it for the term
of your own—*“for the duration of the
present war.”
I promise you that while you ars
away, whether it is months or years,
nothing except what I can give you
and give all the others shall fill my
life.
vote myself, in
here safety,
and stronger and safer for you. I
promise you that I shall give—and
give and give—for the Cause! Not
the money I can spare, not the time
I have left when everything else is
done, but all the money, all the time,
all the energy I have!
Your whole life has been
has been set to end
music. So shall mine be.
know self denial, privetise 2:
while the war lasts. So she
them. Even if black news comes, even
if the blackest comes, I shail remem-
ber that against your brave heart this
promise is resting, and I shall go on.
And while there is one ng our
million and among the miii of our
allies who needs clothing and nursing
and comforts and solace for your sake
I shall not fail him.
Perhaps in God's goodness this note
will come safely back to me iz the
olive drab pocket, and we will smile
over it together. But, remember, uriii
that bour comes I shall be always busy
filling my own small place in the great
machine of mercy and as truly under
the colors over here as you are over
there. God bless you!

Sells the Champion Cream Saver
—=NEW DE LAVAL-
LMOST any separator will do fairly good work when it is
brand new, perfectly adjusted and skimming warm milk
from freshened cows. . 3
But a separator ean’t always be new, cows can’t always be
fresh, nor can you always separate your milk while it is at 85
or 90 degrees. In other words, your separating is done under
practical conditions, and the sensible thing to do is to get a prac-
tical separator.
The NEW De Laval is the most
practical separator you can buy
because it is the only separator that you can depend upon to skim
clean under any and all conditions of milk and temperature, and
to deliver cream of uniform ‘hislrnres,
1f you want to own a separator that will de
its work better than any other, and do it
without censtint tinkering and adjustment,
then the NEW De Laval is the machine to
uy.
‘While this statement has always been true
of De Laval machines, it is true today to an
even greater degree than ever before because
of ihe many improvements in the NEW De
aval.
The new self-centering bowl which gives the
machine greater capacity and skimming efil-
ciency, the De Laval bell speed-indicater,
which alone would be worth many dollars a
ear to a cow owner, the improved auto-
matic oiling system and the many other im-
provements found in no other make of
machine, make the NEW De Laval by far the
most satisfactory separator to operate and
the most profitable to own.
You can buy a NEW De Laval from us on
liberal terms. Come in and examine the
machine and talk it over,

NOTICE TO ALL CONCERNED
Local No. 2774, U. M. W. A., wishes to inform members
and others that the Consol mines did not resume work in this
region as union mines, no agreement having been made official-
ly or otherwise. Strikers who resume or who have resumed
work are taking upon themselves all responsibility, the Local
Union having accepted the Government decision and agreed to
contract for same price and condition as an evidence of the de-
sire of members to show their fairness, but the company still
refrains from entering into collective bargaining agreement
with the elected representatives of its employees.
