It bas long been   thought  tbat   tbe
Waited States most play  the   part   of
"big brother'' to tbe South American
republics   in   upholding   tbe    Monroe
Doctrine.      It    begins    to    look    as
though several of tbese countries are
rapidly passing this one  in   preparation    for    defense.       The    following
description ot   the   preparation   now
going od in   Brazil   will   interest   our
r*tders.    Tbat in embraces an educational scheme   that   prom^es   to   lift
tbat   Country    frorn     its     depth     of
Illiteracy.       The     interest     is      not

Tbe big southern  republic   has   gone)
in   for   "militarism,"   and
gone in with enthusiasm.
Compulsory military service, estab
llsbed by a law  passed   bv-the  con
gress of 1908, goes into1 effect Decern
ber 1 this year, and if tbe results   ap
proacb the predictions   of   tbe   law's)
sponsers a million Brazilian men wiil
be   trained   in  arms and   maneuvers
within the next ten   years.      All   able
bodied men between* the   ages   of |21 j
and 44 years are sobject   to   tbe   call
to arms

as deserters.
By a scheme of short time service
favors advanced to tbose wbo wish
to escape the two years' service in
the active army, however, tbe greater
part of Brazil's army probably will be
composed of "volunteers." More than
atty thousand volunteers enlisted for
the short service between August 1st
and September 30th, this year, and
it Is probaole that this number will
be doubled before December 1, wben
ten per cent of tbose who did not volunteer will be drawn by lot for compulsory service. The volunteer and
drawing by lot process will be repeat-
ad each year.
The men of the new army will be
divided according to tbeir ages, tbose
between tbe ages of 21 and 30 going
. fnto the first line of the active army
and Its reserve, between 30 and 37
into tbe second line and its reserve,
and between 37 and 44 into the third
line aod its reserve or tbe national
gnard. After nine years in tbe active
army tbe men are retired to tbe reserve.

It seems to be getting quite
common for banks to organize
•Christmas Clubs'' and apparently
they are proving a great success.
They induce a habit of saving even
small sums of money and provide a
snuglittlesumforueeatthe holidays, a
time when it is very acceptable. The
Citizens State Bank organized such
a club last year and it proved such asuc-
cess that another is being organized
this year and promises to be very
much larger than the one last year.
A few days ago an inquiry came from
Boardmaa concerning the
club, showing tbat advertising pays.

It matters not bow meager tbe board,
Tis  more  tban   most  Europe  can
afford;
Many bappy homes   bave   been   tors
asunder,
With   scrapnell    and    bomb     that
roared like thunder.
Thousands of loved ones now lie low,
Whicb, but for this war, would  cot
be so;
Their nobleRt manhood bas been slain.
In tbe bloody struggle that  we  disdain.
Not only their   homes   and   comforts
are gone,
But food, cherished sons to mothers
born;
Many sad hearts are longing to-day,
For tbe dear ones now   from   tbem
away.
There doesn't  remain  a  shadow   of
fear.
But we're more fortunate over here;
Therefore it's only right and just
That we should show our   gratitude
thus.
So in onr prayer to God above,
Let's tbank him for the friends   we
love;
For peace and homes,*) and   comforts
too,
And the loved cnes sbat share them,
wim me and you.
Fain would we ask onr God, in love's
name,
To sweep o'er Enrope like a  0ame,
And in soma way bis power show
To end their straggle,  sorrow  and

Tbere is sadness in the barroom
And the barkeep's   shedding   tc&ra..
As he's rather lost  I.ik chuckle
And he's serving up the beers,
And tbe bunch tbat bang about   nia*
Sympathetically sigh,
For John Barleycorn's been walloped"   i
And the state Is going dry.
There's rejoicing in tbe cottage   '
And there's gladness in tbe nouse
That bas known tbe wobbly footstep**
And tbe vileness of a sonse.
And the patient wife and kiddie*
See their troubles passing by
For their greatest foe is dying
Now the state is going dry.
There is weeping now where laughter   -
Lewd and ribald, used to reign.
And there's laughter in the   dwelling**-
Tbat were ruled by want and    pais*
Now the sorrow's where it   should >•*-
And the glad smiles   homeward   Wf?
And    tbis    life   seems    bright  witfe*
promise
For the slate is going dry.
Let tbe barflies do tbe wailing
It's the children«s time to smile*.
It's the time for patient mothers
To be merry for awhile.
Long enough tbe home's been gloomy-,
It's the barkeep's turn to cry
And tbe pinch is where it should ke»
Now tbe state is going dry.
