When the boys marched to war in the thrilling days of
1917-1918, a wave of gratitude towards them swept the
country. The people of this community and of the entire
nation felt and said that everything possible should be done
to .express their, appreciation of the services and sacrifices
of' the men who were shouldering rifle and pack. They as
sured them, definitely and solemnly, that the nation would
remember them and what they were doiflg.
A way to give concrete expression to that feeling and
those promises is now presented. Thousands of these boys
who marched jauntily away to war are stretched, pain
racked wrecks of the men they were, upon hospital beds,
f hey need help. Orphaned and dependent children of vet
erans need help also.
Their need gives opportunity to redeem the pledges
which th? nation made to its defenders when tliey were
rising so splendidly to the country's need. The country
recognizes its obligation to them. It is welcoming the op
portunity to discharge it. That is evidenced by the gener
ous response being everywhere made to the $5,000,000 fund
which The American Legion is now raising for work for
these mounting casualties of war.
The Legion will use the income from this fund exclu
sively for the rehabilitation work which it is and has been
doing for the disabled and for its work for war orphans.
The fund has been set as a trust in perpetuity. Every pos
sible safeguard has been thrown around it. In this way,
it is assured that this work will be carried on properly SO j there wasn't room enough for the
long as a disabled veteran or an orphan needs it.
The Legion is the logical agent to carry out the pub
lic's obligation to these men and children. By its work for
them, it has demonstrated unusual capacity and effective
ness in that field.
; ! A committee of nationally prominent persons is spon
soring the endowment fund. President Coolidge, members
of his cabinet, leaders in industry, finance, labor, art and
every field of national life are members of the committee.
That is sufficient guarantee to the public that the need
' is genuine, that the Legion is the proper agent to meet
the situation and that the fund will subserve a highly use
ful purpose in the nations life. There should be anc will
be adequate response to the appeal for the fund here and
elsewhere. ,
-o . ,
We read of a fourteen-year-old girl committing suicide
over a love affair. This looks like the younger generation
is taking hold of the spirit of the times in a definite way
and carrying out a program fully in keeping with older
heads. .Too many girls of tender age are gainine the ways
of the world unbeknown to their parents. .They are taking
on responsibilities in an alarming way. The 14-ycar-old
child of today, in many instances, is wiser1 than parents and
parents are not wise enough to administer the proper home
trnining to round out the best citizenship. At least this is
the case in many homes and until such time that mothers
and fathers give up the more wordly things hope for im
provement is not encouraging. Caring and watching a child
from tie cradle to maturity is almost a lost art in these
modern times, but it is the one sure way of getting the most
wholesome results. And, in this day and ago the brakes
' should be applied with greater force than ever before.

We still maintain that the weather man is going to
"dish up" three days of the finest weather ever exhibited
in this neck of the woods for the Annual Strawberry Car

cerned. He lias just about run out of atiua piira.
