Notice A collection to provide things necessary in the care of little John and Goldy Messersmith is being taken, Send or bring in to the Truth office the amonnt you can for this purpose. Everyone can help, if only a little. Do your Bit! Those not having money to spare, bring anything in way of eatables or wearing apparel.

Help is also needed in the care of these little ones, both day and night. Let us do a little home missionary work. Right now is the time! How many will help? Nasturtiums. Nasturtiums can be during the grown winter in any warm room that has a sunny window. Strong sunshine is absolutely necessary, windows that have only a little sunshine, morning or afternoon, will not give good results.

Pennsylvania department of agriculture recommends the filling of pot six inches in diameter nearly full of soil; after it is pressed down there must be a space about three-quarters of an inch between the top of the soll and the top of the pot. This is to enable one to thoroughly water the soll. In the center place three or four seeds of a climbing nasturtium, putting about half an inch below the surface of the soil. Then place the pot In the sunny window and provide a trellis of strings, The Important thing to remember 1s that while the seeds are germinating and the plant young, great care must de taken not to provide too much ter and so sour the soil. TIL Be Practical The young man in love often goes into raptures about "The blue of the sea in her eyes and the golden haze of autumn in her hair, "but remember this.

young man -SHE'LL EAT just the same as any healthly girl. Therefore drop a lot of this love- sick stuff and get down to practical affairs. Save your money, deposit it in a good reliable bank like ours and get ready to own a home for you and the girl and to provide for three square meals a day you will both need as long as you live. You know when poverty comes in at the door, love sometimes flies out at the window. The Tyro State Bank, Tyro Kan.

Naked and ye clothed me: I was sick and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in? or naked and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick. or in prison, and came nuto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these iny brethren, ye have done it unto me.

From News Herald, Gravette, There can be no justification for a war that exacts from one man his service in the field and his blood upon the alter of patriotism, but which, at the same time permits other men to stay at home and fill their pockets with money made out of the conditions of war that exist. Congress owes it not only to the people but to the principles of de mocracy to see that no foundation is left upon which to base a charge of this sort of mont Martin Co. (Minn.) Sentinel.

Editor Frank A. Day, former right-hand man of Gov. John Johnson, says a truthful mouthful in the above. Even La Follette (who is in bad for talking too much) and Senator Vardaman, have said very much the same; the latter charging that the "plutocratic patriots and hired newspapers" had been very active in promoting the war; yet they are the very kind who Refuse to be Drafted There would be less cause to yell "Kaiser, Traitor, etc." if our nation were to conscript the Food, Hogs, Mercantile Barons, their Hoarded Loot, and all Slackers of Wealth--they are the real Traitors who object to an application of Justice which would reduce their profits. Sure let 113 have Unanimous Patriotic Action! Amen.

The Danville (Ill.) Banner publishes an item: which shows that the German beer makers and saloon keepers are keeping hundreds of young men drunk in Pennsylvania, unfitting them for army service. Uncle Sam made a mistake in leav ing the Kaiser's beer makers on the job. There is much sickness in Tyro and one death in the past One family has typhoid fever. It is taxing the strength and endur. auce of the very few who will give up their own comfort to care for the sufferers, to a great degree.

There are enough well people in Tyro to care for the sick without overburdening anyone but the great majority prefer to pass by on the other side, singing, "Will There be Any Stars in My Crown," We ture the prediction there will not be even a crown, much less stars to decorate it, unless these selfish, anfeeling people remember to visit the sick and help relieve their distress Not One; No, Not One." Perhaps this may seem a araignment but the case demands it. This is meant to apply to actly those who can but do not render aid to these suffering ones. Green tomatoes, $1. a at the Variety Store.
