The Home in the Hearth where the fires of patriotism Are kindled. A Man will fight for his Home and his native land but hell not fight for his boarding House. In the american Home must be Learned respect for Law and order and reverence for the institution of government. To create such Homes must be the one great purpose of religion politics and education. The strength and righteousness of the nation varies directly in proportion to the strength and righteousness of the Home. The government must help to build up the Home economically the school must build up the Home intellectually the Church must develop it morally.

Dempsey stood Over the fallen French idol until the count was finished and then tenderly picked up Tlle bleeding and dazed Frenchman and took him to his Corner.

Efforts have be a made this year to make the plot of Corn boing grown by every contest it would be difficult to say just How seriously rear Admiral Sims has been reprimanded. Secretary Denby has written him a Long imposing letter. He has recited verbatim the particulars of his indiscretion. He has reminded the rear Admiral not that what he said was untruthful or vicious or contrary to the opinions of the administration but that the words of the London speech quot constitute a flagrant and deliberate disregard of specific following which compliments. The Admiral for his part is not cast Down. Tie conclusion is inescapable that it was not intended he should be. We see no likelihood that the Sharp critics of Sims will derive satisfaction from the rebuke administered to him. Nor can we see that his. Friends admirers and enthusiastic defenders can find an occasion for giving the Navy department a sawing an Opportunity luckily desired. The Sims incident passes into history As a crises that never became critical an Issue which never came to an inflamed head. It is disappointing to the National love of the sensational. So the nation will Hurr and forget it. Use Good illustrations and Tell an honest Story in your own language in your ads and have the goods to Back it up and then advertise.
