THURSDAY, I I IIUl .WtY !7, lta. ( HOOK COUNTY JOURNAL VJe ftllUMIAS KNTKUTUNKD HY PHYMKR.Us LINCOLN'S DAY Lincoln' birthday was the lusnlr Ft;,.) for the patriotic decoratioiu ami program last Saturday aftr lioon. when the Phyaocrata ettr taiued the Shumias, at the home of lira. Charles M. Elkins. The hallway was hung with red. hite and blue stroamera of crepa paper, with a picture of Lincoln hav ing the place of honor. Iu the two front rooms, the streamers were carried from the suit's and corners of the rooms to the chandeliers, and draped very low in graceful festoons, and eaih individual light was shaded with col ored paper. Candles of red, white and hlue also carried out the color cvhe'me. The fireplace was banked with pine boughs, symbolic of Lin coln's upbringing on the frontier, his early occupation as a woodsman, and lus self-won education, plainly re ct-ived by pouring over books in the evenings by the light of a pitte wood Mare in the fireplace of his back woods home. The back parlor was decorated in . '-Mil the club color of -. .tr and the candles in . i i' r; were yellow. .Jis. C. Shattuck, president of the rhysAerats, welcomed the visit ing club in a few well-chosen words, and she was responded to by Mrs. B E. Evans president of the Shumias The program consisted of a duett "My Rosary 'or You", by Mrs. Rob ert Douglas and Mrs. Oliver Adams, i Miss Florence Cramer read the book toy Mary Shipman Andrews, "Tribute ' to Lincoln", and Miss Catherine El kins gave a vocal solo. The climax of the program was a minuet, danc ed in the costumes of 1865 by Mrs. Chas. Ross, Mrs. Hugh Lakin, Mrs. Robert Douglas and Mrs. Asa Bat tles. The steps were executed with such grace and charming stateliness. ! that it was the spoken wish of those -present that The old-time dances could be revived to take the place of the modem fox trot and step. The members of the clubs were seated at the table by matching quotations from Lincoln. Ice Cream, cake, coffee and mints were served. Each lady present received a jonquil as a memento of the afternoon, the jonquil being the official flower, of the Physocrats. A KAI.SK A I. A KM Many of the periodicals of the country have been duped into vilif Ing the religionists for their con scienrious advocacy of a proper rev ernnce for the Lord's Day. A re cent cartoon in a Portland daily por. trayed a parson with effemlnite ap pearance, dubbed aa a reformer ad vocating a "Blue Sunday" while ev ery one else was crying tor liberty of action. In the first place, no onj is advocating any such "Blue Sun day" as they portray and In the se cond place such cartoons and senti ments aro plainly malignant to the best citizenship of our country and since ours is a Christian nation witli the Sabbath as Instituted by Divine authority as a basic teuel such op ponent desortatfoiis are un-American and tratorous. The constitution of our own America guarantees to our people freedom of thought and action, but this very freedom end li berty Is based upon the scripture which establishes the Sabbath as a sacred day and as a memorial thit men and nations might keep In mlud the God of Liberty, hope and heav en. A lapse In the observance of God's aacred day develops an in creasing Indifference to those very foundations of our best Institutions and a debasing of those spiritual values which are the sure guarantee of our continued welfare.

FARM LABOR ABSENCES After we entered the great war with Germany It became apparent that we would need all the man-power we could muster, both for fighting the enemy in the field and for man ufacturing, ships and munitions in this country, and Congress passed a number of laws intended to release for other purposes men who were employed at Unnecessary labor. A mong these was one relieving the homesteader from living upon his land If Instead lie would go else where and perform farm labor. While the law was Intended aa a war measure, to be In force only during the war, Congress did not foisee that our President nilKht so manipulate aflulrs aa to keep us technically at war with Germany for years after lighting ceased, and so the law was worded In a tnanm r that keel's it In force until peace is actually declared. The Inw In question was passed mi December 20, 1917. and applies oflly to entries which were Initiated be fore that date. This does not nec essarily mean Hint ilie entry iiiu-t have been allowed before that date, or even that nil upplioillon must have been submitted hut In cases where an application for entry win pending on that dale tile law appliet as tltouRh the entry hud been allow ed. Also In cases where setllenioiit had been made on unsun eyed IniuU, or contest had been initiated against a former enttv, but no up plicntiou bad In en made on Decem ber 20, 1917. yet such settlement or contest is considered as the initia tion of un entry within the terms of the law, and such entrymen are en titled to its benefits. This law is peculiarly broad In Its scope and subject to few limitations. The entryman may leave his land as ofteu as he rhoses and remain away as long as he choses and bis resi dence is credited the same as If he were actually on the land, providing he is employed at farm labor else where during the time he is absent Such absences do not take the place of the five months' leave granted all entrymen, but are in 'addition to it, so an entryman may be off from the land for a whole year, and if he per forms farm labor for seven montlu and goes fishing the other live, he will have complied as fully with the residence requirements of the home stead law as it he bad never left his land. In order to avail himself of these liberal provisions it Is required that the entryman file a notice within IS days after leaving the land, stating that he Is absent for the purpose of performing farm labor elsewhere as provided by the act of Congress of December 20, 1917, and that during the month of January of each year he file a corroborated affidavit show ing where, when and by whom he was employed at farm labor during the preceding calendar ear. Th s notice on affidavit must be tiled aim tile register and receiver of the 'H tr.ct land olhVe. not iu the olllce "f the V. S Commission' r before wlimn the Minn may have been made.

SUPPOSING Supposing we quit this business suspension ; I his cry of hard times and labor contention. Quit giving ourselves to an orgy of gloom : For nothing like that gives Frineville a boom. God planned we should work and that with a zest; For that gives us peace, contentment and rest. With a HOME OF HIS OWN, 'tis happy the man Who works ev'ry day in accord with God's plan. It doesn't much matter the labor, or pay ; But the fact that our mind is busy all day. For working, my brother, each day of our life, Dispels discontentment, troubles and strife. If we must cuss the country, business or town, Go 'round' all the time with a scowl and a frown, Let us cuss good and hard and all labor shirk ; Get it out of our system, and then go to work. W.P.H. Come on In, the Lumber is Fine. Let us help you start something. V YOURS FOR SERVICE Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co.
