"The- eats are getting rather slim

the stuff to the boys, but the rations
are so slim the boys have to buy
stuff to eat Instead of having it is

$3 each to buy stuff to cook, as It had

BAPTISTS SIX MILLION
Portland, Mar. 20. One hundred
thousand iolleuo boys dropped their
books and Joined the colors In the
war agnlnst Germany. Nearly all of"'
them went overseas. Those young
men aro now returning home and
many of them will no doubt want to
finish their education. Hut- one
ureat obstacle confronts them. The'
lack of finances. A soldier making ,
but 1.1(1 per month was not nhle to 1
save much.

of the Baptist church Is Intended to
remedy this situation. American
Baptist have been asked to kIvo as
part of their $6,000,000 budget a '
total of $200,000 for Christian edu
cation In America. Of this educa
tional budget $70,000 Is to be used 1
this year to help Baptist boys finish
their, education when they come
home and $9R,000 Is for the aid of
Baptist rollleges. Ths victory cam-'
pnlgn of the Northern Baptist con
ventlon will be conducted nationally,

Influence of Good Books.
When you find a child who loves
good hooks, the noxious weeds of
envy, hatred, Jealousy and malice are
not so likely to grow In his mind and
choke out the exquisite blossoms of
love, tenderness, unselfishness, grati
tude and the desire to do unto others
as he would he done by. The love of
good books Is one foundation for good
character, observes writer In the
Oklahoman. It Is ths exception, not
the rule, to encounter sordldness, greed
or Insensibility In the man or woman
who knows and loves good books. Rob
ert Louis Stevenson once suld that so
long as a man had a friend he hud
something to live for. Is It not truo
so long as one can love good and
beautiful hook that life never will he
without hope?
