The old lady had boon to hoar a visiting Kodl Cross speaker; when she came in, she sat down in the chair near the door and looked at her daughter-in-law, snys Edith Barnard Delano in the Vigilantes. Tears were in her eyes and her Hps were trembl ing Mrs. William snoke. "Whv. Mother." she said, "what's the mattor? Which Is it this time inv nr iTlKaster?" Thn old ladv smiled through her tnnra. "It's ioy." said she. "I've been getting a little glimpse of salva tion, and It it kinder shakes me, lust at flrstl I want to stand up, and shout the news of it up and down tho land, or Bing it In words that would go down through the ages like the words old Simeon said. But I'm just an old woman, and all I can do IB to cry of gladnesB." Mary's eyes filled, too, at the slghl of the old lady's emotion. "It must be mighty good news, Mother," she said. "Child, you don't know how good You can't. You're too young, even if you have got a boy over thoro In tho trenches. It takes old folks like me. that can remember. It takes old folks Uko mo that have seen all the courage and tho fight and the glad ness of being alive takon out o' folks, and I've seon worso than that, too Buffering that was willing to starve ano go cold rather than come to what It thought was shame tho shame ol seen kindness and charity that was being a iburder to others; and I've all right for thomlhat gave, but just poisonous to the Bouls of them that took It. I have boon thinking more n a little abolu who, would happen when the boys came homo from this war without hands and without feet, and blinded. 1 have been picturing to myself how the women folks would be that glad'to have-'ein back aguin in any way that they d slave for thein and pet them up and do everything for 'em except help 'om to be men 1 can remember how things wore after the Olvll war, Mary; oh, I can roiuember many a tale could I toll about that. Well,. I snw the Clapp ooy mnde into a man niter being made into a soldier; I know thore's thousands like him. Andl I hnve been worrying and laying awake thinking what was to become of all those fine boys whon thoy come homo maimed and crippled. And Mary- "Mary! What do you think I heard today? There's folks besides me that haVo given thought to all that. They are ready for 'em ready for the maimed and the crippled and the blinded. No oharity, no being bur dens for our boys, when this war Is won. Thoy'ro going to give 'em hands mado of wood and wire and what not that'll do anything the average hand can do; and feet thoy can walk with; and touch them trades teach them to road oven if they nre blind, teach thorn not only to go on being men and soldiers, Mnry, but give them tho very trades they've always hankered to loam, or tho ones they can best make n living at. Many a lad that was In the wrong Job borore he wont to war will find himself with tho very thing ho loves best offered to h!m. nnd taught to him, and a job opon to him, no mattor how crippled you'd think he was. Oh, it's the most wondorful thing I ever knew of Mnry! "I have been thinking what It'll mean to folks all over the country whon thoy hear tills good news! What will it mean to a mother, say. whose sou wasn't so awful much of a worker, maybe, and who has lost a eg or a hand in tho war, to have tho. noy come home not a cripple, not n care, not a poor discouraged piece of a man, but full of Interest in tho thing he has boon taught how to do, knowing hlmsolf capable of earning n living and having as good n lire as any other man, nnd with all that won derful army tniining in doing good for others and keeping clean and be ing good-natured when things go wrong, and all that?

"You remember how Cod blessed Abraham, because he was willing to make the greatest sacrifice he could think of? Well, It came to me as I was walking homo that something like that has come to pass now. Our bovs have gone over there willing to make tiho greatest sacrifice they can think of, just for what they think is right, not for what will benefit them. Somo of them will bo permitted to make it. Some will be brought back from the altar like. Isaac was., Hut they'll be blessed. Clod spoko to Ab raham through tho angel, and He's snnnklnir now through men and wo men; and I think what He's saying miiist be something like this: 'You have offered me your bodies for your souls' snkes; I will provide ways through which your souls shall con cmor voiur bodies. You shall not he cripples, but conquerors!' " We see In the papers that France Is not hungry; that all one needs Is money with which to buy a liberal meal. Perhaps it is true that some people In Franco, as in the rest of tho world, wHh a full pockethook nan nhtnln an unfair share of food. But that France as a whole has enough food is unfortunately very far from true. We need only note that n still further reduction In bread ra tions was made early in April. These rations had already been cut to al most half the normal consumption By the recent restriction, a further cut of one-third is made. The hard worker jiow receives only the ainomiT granted to the desk worker a month ago. It will only he a few hours until the trend of today's vote will regis ter the fate of a majority of the can didates. At midnight every local candidate will know whether or not ho "Ib" or "Isn't."

This is ono of the worst weed 'peats known to tho American farmer, and slops should bo taken Im mediately for Its eradication ns It is very difficult to destroy once It be comes well established In a farming ommunlty. In some parts of the Willamette valley this pest has become so bad that it has practically caused several good farms to be abandoned. This is surprising in view of the fact that the daws of the state prescribe very severe penalties for those who do not take means for Its destruction Chapter 18 of tho genoral laws of Oregon makes It tho duty ol the road supervisor of the several counties to notify the farm owners andl others on whoso farms this pest Is discov ered to take means to eradicate It and If they neglect to do so it is then made the duty of the road sup ervisor to go on the place and do the work himself, charging the ex penses against the land. This, of course, should never be necessary as the farmer himself is tho most in terested in abating the nuisance. The most effective methods of combating this weed is clean cultiva Hon or summer fallowing. The weeds should never he permitted to bloom much less to seed and where It is possiblo to db so they should never be permitted to leave out as the weed propagates Itself rfom the root as well as by tho seed. Whenever I covers only a small area it may be smothered out by using tar paper this method can only be practiced of course, where tho area Is Binall but no time should bo lost in com bating this very destructive weed, as in a few years it Is liable to 'become so numerous that Its eradication will be almost an Impossibility.
