THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1918. It becomes more and more evident that Japan should strike in Siberia and strike hard. Germany has captured Odessa. They will be able to supply themselves with wheat, plenty of it, if reports are true. It is to be hoped that Japan will pive a pood account of herself, if she poes in; and that she will, now seems certain. From a recent trip throuph the county the writer is convinced that the farmers of Union County are tak- | ing seriously to heart the task of raising food and feed stuffs. Everywhere they are at work, hard work. The only thing that seems to be troubling them is the shortage of labor. But - even this drawback will not amount to much when there is such determination as is being manifested. WHY WE ARE NEGLECTFUL? (Contributed., A continued effort is being made to ascertain why more people do not attend the daily Union prayer services held at the Chamber of Commerce. This was the very first official effort of the Chamber and the people said "Tis well." Up to the period when this and other public gatherings were discontinued due to the presence of meningitis the people came very regularly, but since that time the attendance has dropped down to about 20 a day, often less. The purpose of these meetings as explained, is to daily intercede with the Divine Be5r?rr I- -1 1 M Mtif^ in ucuaii U* wu i Auiuit'ia nim ?aii 11ors and the allies, likewise to ask for the time soon to come when the world will have peace. Is this effort worth while? Arc we to dally instead of entering into such a service chastise ourselves into humble submission that "whatever is to be will be," and that so long as we here in America do not smell the powder and hear the groans of the dying that such intercessions are unnecessary? Are we too young to grasp the real seriousness of the situation. In short are our young men in the training camps and at the front to be so soon forgotten in the matter of assembling ourselves together to ask in Ilis Name for those things only to be expected from a Higher Power? These thoughts should interest every one; it is that touch of human sympathy, that spirit of undying loyalty and devotion that brings us closer together, and while no man can safely prophesy what or when the end will be, we do know that conditions are most serious and that we as a nation can ex. pect no greater mercy from the hands of German autocracy that has been shown others. Is not this sufficient ? In short are people to be begged [o take part in these services? Are we to have sufficient interest to induce tin' faithful ministers t<> come each flay nn<l k'ivc their time and onerpry? Certainly the^c ;tood men are to t>e romtfiended and thanked for their untiring efTorts to have this prayer service each day until the end of the war. Jf there is any reason why the auditorium is not filled for this brief daily service, the cause will he removed. If these prayer services are worth while they are worth attending and again, a cordial welcome is extended to every one to come. Santuc News Notes.
