ARENSBERG WESTERN FRONT AT HOME Karu and give. For year the young people of Amertca have been coached in th'ift. Instead of the old problem In the arithmetic hook, "If Mary's mot her gave tier three apples. Jane gave her two, and she ate one, how many would she have?" the third grade girl is now sent to the hluckhoard to solve. "How many Thrift stamps at 2i cents apiece will own ut the end of 12 months if she saves 10 cents a week?" The girl In the grade above, her Is learning la her arithmetic lesson how ninny stamps it takes to buy the yum for helmets for the soldiers in Frame.

Still further on the eighth grader is told to figure in terms of War Savings stamps how much It costs to supply a regiment of L'ncie Sam's tueu with shelter tents. And now the Kara and (live club of ihe younger girls of the Voting Women's Christian association Is organized to linn those Thrift lessons into giving. The children of AnierU'a have been turning in pennies and iiicl.lcs nml pasting a green stamp on their Thrift curd. Tht Kuril and (Jive eluli on ii now use some of those cards and War Savings stumps in their eiunpalgn among the younger people for lie united war fund. This fall when the war council of the V.

W. C. A. made plans for the H1S war drive, It included in Its program the rule that no young girls under eighteen e-iin do any solicit inc. on the slreets or otherwise.

They can give1, but they cnii only gie by earning. Consequently in order to co-ordinate the efforts of the girls in all the districts over the country, the Kurn nml (iive club Is enrolling members and has given out an estimate of apiece to be earned for the war fund campaign by the American girls who still count their age in teens. Five dollars apiece from the younger girls of the country will mean that the nation as a whole will (ill Its charitable organizations' war chest. Some high school girl in New Vork city Is going to earn her $5 by shining her own shoes instead of stopping ai the Creek siand on her way te school and by making her own sandwiches for her noon lunch. Out In Iowa the girl who has been spending 1" cents nlus war tax for a movie three nlghis week Is going to draw a line through iJie movie habit except when there is an especially good bill.

More tlinn one girl plans to clean all her own gloves this winter and to salvage nil the paper and collections of Junk about the house which should be sold to llie junk man to be worked over into some pio ductile industry. The girls in iheii 'teens me going to earn instead of ash others for the money. They are to sacrifice und give in their own names and older women will make the public requests for money elsewhere. Jinny of the girls who are wailing to join the Kurn and (Jive club are already Patriotic b'ligners, and they have learned several practical lessons in the thrift that will make tliem effective members of Ihe new eluli by their conservation of fruits and vegetables. They have canned and pickled.

Now when the end of summer brings the beginning of school they will change their thrift into winter thrift nml bo-gin saving their for ihe V. V. A. war fund. Wherever Vol) Are Is the Western Front" Is the slogan which the Kara nnd (Jive eluli hus adopted.

Anna, one wiry car-old daughter of New York's Kast side, who was one of the first nnd youngest members to Join the eiimpaign at a New Vork settlement house, had to have It explained to her that instead of western front meaning finht and light meaning lists, the west tern front menus work and work means save in order to give. The girl who joins the Karri and Give club will discover that in conjunction with her working and saving in order that her club will furnish Its quota of the money that Is going to help the girls like herself in France and Belgium, she ill also lind numerous ways In the community to help the war that she had never dreamed of. She will see Hint all the fruit, pit and Ktones that can be saved from her own dining table and from Ihose of her neighbors, are dropped into the little red barrel at the corner, In order that the carbon which the seeds contain can be used In making charcoal for the American soldiers' gas masks. She will save all the tin foil that she noes for the lied Cross. She will help collect clothing for the French and Belgium orphans and perhaps send them some of her own.

School girls in India, children from squalid, dingy homes, with absolutely no spending money, gave last year to Belgian and Armenian relief when they themselves were not getting enough to eat. They gave up 'heir meat once a week for the Belgian, though they only had It twice a wee themselves, and for the Armenians they set aside the handful of fresh gruin thnt otherwise each giiT would huve ground in her own little stone mill. Both contributions, from nil the girls In one missionary's school, amounted only to .5 a month. "Hut It wnR a tremendous sacrifice," their at Lowes! Prices AT RUSSIANS FRONT The Blue Triangle clubroonis In Petrogrnd were in half shadow. A few scattered cuiiilles thing gleams a persistent and as vague us Russia's hope of liberty.

A hundred Russian tills and six young men were guests of the first Young Women's Christian association in all Russia. It was gala afternoon ten but It wus dark been use the winter days end at three o'clock and there-is a restriction on the use of candles ami kerosene as well us of electricity. The girls were making merry even in the gloom of winter, the twilight and the tragedy of war. One slender hite-fneed girl with purple-shadowed eyes was merrier than till the rest. Her wit nnd ringing laugh were contagious.

"Sonyn Is wonderful tonight," one girl whispered to another as she stirred gently Into her teu the one lump of sugar doled out carefully for the party. The Y. YV. C. A.

secretaries bad been saving the; sugar for months putting aside ut eiieli meal one of the two lumps served with the coffee In the restaurant, that there might be a bit of sweet for this tirsl party. There was no bread. "Sutiyn Is not drinking her teu," her iiile little admirer went on, "yet she fainted this morning nt the factory and the forewoman said she was hungry." "We're all hungry," was the monotonous reply. "It wusn't that." Something stopped the laughter ami talk suddenly but the hush that fell in dimly lit room was as joyous as the gaiety. One of Russia's greatest singers stood by the piano and lifted up her gloriou voice titled with the tears and heartbreak that people at pence rail thrills.

They went away early when the music was done these snd-eyed, half-starved little guests of the Phie Tri angle for danger lurks In the dark of I'etrogrud streets, robberies mid murders sharp little by-products of a nation's chaos and a world at war. Sonyn lingered after the others were gone. She was standing close by lie seeretary-liiiste'ss' chair when she turned from saying good-niglit to the hist one of the oilier girls. The laughter had died out of the girl's eyes nnd the gaiety from her voice. "Will you give me a note to the factory superintendent," she asked, "telling him I'm Attending classes here at night?" She spoke' in French, for she knew no Knglish, and the secretary, no Russian.

"Yes, if it will help you." The secretary was glad to give her such a note but she was curious. "Tell me why." "If he knows the girls are going to night classes he won't put us on the night shift, lie will let us work days so we can eonie. yesterday I asked for lie nlghi slilfi. Today I have changed niy mind." The secretary wondered. Snnyn had not been In any of the classes.

Iliid the bright Hide party given her an interest in the work of the assoeia-lion? Had the friendliness of the American reached her? Was it the music Unit hail given her an impetus to study toward something beyond a factory? "What Is It that Interests you?" the secretary asked her. "You nre not In any of the classes now, are you? What is it you want to take up?" "Ties Morning I looked out the factory window." and Sonya's voice reminded I he secretary of the call of iiiirht bird before a storm. "Down in the courtyard was a crowd nnd three men were killed. Killed the police the bolshevik police, while I stood there and watched. They said I hey were nnnrrliisis.

One was my brother. Another was my sweetheart. I came here tonight to forget. But I cannot forget. Always I will remember.

I want Holding now but to carry on their work, and to do that I must study and lenni I must learn Knglish iiid many other things. I want to go in all the classes. If the foreman at the factory knows I do that, he will help. He will let me work days." In the dark, the hunger, the cold, and the terror of I'etrograd, the blue Triangle Is sending out Its shining Invitation to the bewildered women and young girls of Russia. It Is offering a little oasis in the midst of the chaos where they may come and rest and relax, play games, listen to music, study Knglish.

French, stenography, bookkeeping, or music, and as one tired girl expressed It, forget for the moment that they are In I'etrograd. Most of the girls who gather at the sign of the Illue Triangle are bookkeepers nnd stenographers, but scattered among them are factory girls, domestics, and girls who never have worked. "In I'etrograd and elsewhere In Russia," says Miss Clarissa Spencer, world secretary of the Y. V. C.

A. Mho started the work Id Russia, "girls formerly employed In government offices come to us who have struck against the bolshevlsts. They're out of jobs. They're hungry. One girl told me she couldn't take gymnasium work.

It gave her such an appetite. P.ut they refuse to return to work for the bolshevlsts." Miss Helen Ogden. one of the T. W. IC A.

secretaries who wn forced to leave I'etrograd on account of the German advance, writes home thnt: "It's like living on the screen of a melodrama to be In Russia. Bullets and are almost as familiar street sounds here as the clung of the street 'oar and the honk of the automobile at home. Here we lenrn to live and work under frequent shooting slid street battles and to flee only when we nre told by the authorities that we niuat." 0, ihu main 01. Telephone 223. oo ooo E.

Some few months ago we predicted that there would be a broad streak of yellow unearthed in Germany starting with the upper vertebrae of the kaiser and the events of the past week prove that the streak was considerably wider than the most sanguine had anticipated. For four years Wilhelm told his soldiers how noble it was to die for the fatherland, but when it came time for Bill to put his own theories into practice and show the world that he was game and believed in his cause enough to die leading his troops, he was very busy hot footing it for Holland and safety. Hindenburg, the man of blood and iron, hastened to join the anarchistic rabble of the Bolsheviki so that his own worthless hide could be saved. The world is being treated to the spectacle of a bunch of cornered rats squealing for mercy.

Chicago News. BvE. We don't know what his politics are at this time and we don't give a rao. We hereby nominate General Pershing for president in 1920. The above paragraph is written with the intention of putting over p.

"scoop" on the big daily papers who haven't mentioned the matter as yet, and for the further purpose of getting a raise out of the politicians. The politicians consider it very bad taste for the common plug voter to nominate any one without first consulting the chairman of the state central committee. It is said that General Foch rend the terms of the armistice in a loud tone. This was no doubt unnecessary as he probably had the undivided attention of the German plenipotentiaries throughout the conference. Bill Hohenzollern was disappointed in that little dinner in Paris Easter Sunday, and now it is probable that he will not even eat Christmas dinner in Berlin.

Expressing ourselves in the only classical quotation we know we will say "tempus fugits." Which also brings to mind that old saying "The higher they fly the harder they fall" or words to that effect. For Rent Sixty perfectly good imperial RULETON ROUTE 2. Mr. and Mrs. W.
