ON CRIPPLES AND CONQUERORS.
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? Whnt'll it mean

"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.

CANADIAN THISTLE
ANOTHER WEED PEST
Report comes to' the office of the
county ngont that, tho Cnnudlun
thistle has mado itstappenrance on
several farms in the northern part of
the county. 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.
