Under the heading, “The Colonel and the Major Discuss the Big War,” The People this week begins publica tion of a dialogue anent the German army and its much-touted efficien cy." The characters in the sketch are •vppoeed to be Veterans of the War Botwoen the Sections, a Confederate colonel and a Federal major, who take a keen delight in discussions of mili tary affairs.

The great agri cultural resourceffof America must prepare to assume thia burden. Every one of us must do his bit. Every acre, every nook and corner must bear ita share. It is lucky that in poultry we can produce the cheapest and most quickly producing meat of all the various sources of our meat supply. It is a well-known fact that the available supply of meat products is today the lowest in our country, per capita, in the history of the United States. To meet the extremely dangerous condition we have within our selves a wonderful opportunity of aiding what may prove to be a world wide cry for food. Let us all join enthusiastically in putting forth now every effort to meet the demand that is sure to come for untold quantities of foodstuffs. Never in the history of the world will there be a greater demand than in the next 24 months. _ The margin of profit on the production of eggs and poultry for meat is far in excess of tht percentage of profit in normal times. But aside from the question of profit, we Americans must look at the situation from a philanthropic and humanitarian standpoint, and each and every one “do his bit” Let ua try to be a factor in the production of an extra hundred million pounds of poultry meat, which it lesa than one pound additional for each man, woman and child in the United State*. The United States department of agriculture has just issued an estimate that upwards of seven hundred millions of dollars is the annual tribute paid by Americana to the garbage can. Why not convert this into feed to produce poultry and eggs? Every home can have a eelf-supporting and profitable flock in the hack yard by converting the offal from the table and kitchen into the eery c hoicest of poultry feed. Why such an astounding waste, an utter extrav agance that costs us nearly seven dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States? Let every borne have a neat poultry bourn and a few well-kept, profitable fowls.

J eat down by the fire, and there was the family too. Mendom was beating some water lu a big black kettle. Hie youngest Mploga. stUl without teeth, was howl ing in the arms of little brother. Presently to the light of my lantern Mendom brings her three-year-old. She empties her hot water into a wooden bowl; with a sponge of crush ed leaves she washes first one little foot and fhen the other. Kid howls. His feet are sore, poor little duffer! He holds out his hand for his father to bold. Mother is relentless until both feet are soaked; then she ojiens a lit tle leaf packet. There is salve made of- the bark of the redwood free. She adds a little palm oil to this, and very carefully she auoints the little feet. The sobs subsldh. and the child walks off on his heels. Now the mother i>ours more water Into the bowl, takes the fretful baby out of the hands of little brother, stands the weeny thing In her belt of beads on tbe clay floor and swabs her down with water. There Is the fa miliar Initial gasp. With her maternal hands she cleanses that little person all glittering with wet, and she says, looking at me and smillug, tt Ood has sent me much trouble.’* And tbe fa ther aaya. apropos of nothing. “All these have been tiaptlzed.'* 1 sit on my stool by tbe fire and feel steeped In tbe most human domesticity. Everywhere In tbe world at thta hour little children art whimpering over their evening aldntlona. It la a mistake to think that any child of a good mother escapes.

Dear Brethren Our own brethren, who have been appointed ns heads of Food Administration for the Baptist lurchs, have asked that we present matter to our churches on Sunday October 21 (third Sunday), either in aermon or address; that we make wor thy effort, the following week, Oct 21-28, to enroll every family in our churches in Food Administration, and also that we put on the report card campaign October 28, to run for ten Weeks. Some of us have more than one church, therefore, it will be necessary to begin at once, the second Sunday in >ber, that we carry out this pro i, and, in case we cannot finish it in October, let it run on into No- iber. The ten weeks of report care goes through November and De- GpMBber. Nona of us has first hand knowledge ef all the conditions and needs of our yj^nintry in this trying and strenous •“fcgiod; therefore, we must exercise Ha# Hh in the wprd of some one.

F»»r Pncle Rom Is working theta hard these days la spite of tbe addi tions, there Is yet too much work to go around. There's another thing that has been in evidence ever since the boom began. Of the residence contingent, men are beginning to disappear from their usual haunts. Private employ ment of more lucrative character than the government afforded them has suddenly been thrown open to them. Men have been going Into the army, Into the reserve camps, Into the navy. Into other occupations directly related to war activities. Their places mast be filled. The civil .service examina tions have been taken by hosts of American women here and elsewhere, by many women who never cared to be called Into service, at least by very many who never expected to be called Into competition with the best talent In their respective citlea. But now the call Is no longer only for the best. The demand for clerks, typewriters and stenographers Is so great that those who imss with a fair average are certain to be invited to take positions—no longer at #600 or #700 a year entrance salary, but at #1,000. Where formerly the bureau chiefs would accept only»those who passed with something over 00, they are satisfied with those who go to 80, and they are not adamant In that particular, either. Goats Calmly Browse on Streets of the Capital G | PATS still graze In Washington, and for many days this summer twe species of the family Capra hirous—that being the highly proper family name for plain #bat—have been enjoying the herbage on a green plot on u$pet Sixteenth street Many comments have been made on the presence of these goats, but they have browsed on without Interruption, apparently un- conscious of or unconcerned at the at tention they attract * Once upon a time goats were more numerous In the city than they are now, and those that still dwell smong us art usually seen In the outlying parts of the city.
