ONE OPPORTUNITY
Mushrooms of rare quality had grown in a
certain locality for years. All of a sudden they
apparently stopped growing and people looked
for them without success.
After many days the cause was discovered.
A bright new boy had moved into the neighborhood and was gathering them in large quantities early in the morning before other people
were up.
This little fellow saw the opportunity and
his bank account grew. The officers of this
bank like boys and will help them become
young business men.

SALINE CHAPTER
RED CllOSS NOTES
"WOBK ON SURGICAL DRESSINGS
TO BE RESUMED SOON
Now More Reason  Than Ever "Wjlty
Much Should Be Done
The rooms in the basement of the
Baptist church will be open for work
on surgical dressings beginning "Wednesday, Marah 13, from 2 to- 3 and|
from; 7 to 9. Everyone is urged to
give as much time as possible to this
work.
Gertrude Austin, chief of the American Red Cross surgical dressings
service in Paris, has written the following communication to the Detroit
chapter: "Your case of dressings No.
178 has Just been' .opened!, and we
want to thank yon for your help,
whicli means so much, to us at this
time. Every day now we are filling
large orders for our base "hospitals,
and our stock of dressings which
once seemed so large lias now become alarmingly small. "We are
looking to you in America to help us
keep our hospitals supplied and' we
know you will not fail us." The box
was shipped from Detroit December
20„ 1917, and opened in Paris Feb. 1.
Our monthly sewing quota from
state headquarters has arrived! It
consists of 10 pairs of pajamas and
25 'hospital shirts. We are urged to
meet our quota and| as much more as
{possible as these things are so ned-
essary to the comfort and aid so much
in the recovery of our wounded soldiers in the hospitals of Prance. This
work all cut together with finished
sample may be obtained from the
sewing chairman, Mrs. Martin Fuoss.
Here-'s a chance to d|o your bit- Call
Mrs. Fuoss and save her the necessity oS calling you.
More Reason Than Ever to Work!
Now that Secretary of War Baker
admits that we have almost 500;000
American soldiers in France, it will
become apparent to all Red; Cross
workers that the output of surgical
dressings and other hospital supplies
cannot be too large, for the American
troops have taken over a sector of
the French front and are most likely
to b|3 in the thick of the fighting any
day, certainly as soon as the Germans
launch their expected offensive.
When it is remembered that .sometimes a sQloUer has been so badly
-wounded as "to" require a whole "case,
of surgical dressings to save his life,
it will be seen that a reserve supply
cannot be made too large-
Saline Red Cross slogan, S100 per
month pledged! for our boys in France.
Will you help? It now takes better
than $10 to outfit one of our hoys.
Don't forget this when you are making your pledge.
A Parable.
The soldier threaded his weary way-
back to the Colonel's djugout. He had
been in a half a dozen skirmishes
with the enemy in ,as many weeks-
He was still intact but scratahed| and
wearied from crawling through barbed! wire andi in and, out of shell craters.
He entered the dugout and saluted
with click of heels and hand' to cap.
"Colonel," he said, "I think I] will
have to guit. The battles are getting
to be so many. It's rather too imuch
of a good thing. I have given about
.all I can of time and strength and,
blood to this war.   I am going home."
No; the incidjent didn't happen.
But why shouldn't it? There are
lots of civilians here at home turning
down such appeals as the Redl Cross
and the Liberty Loans because "the
calls are so many."
All membiers of the Saline Baptist
church are urged to attend the annual
meeting of tlie church and society to
be held at the church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

An item recommending the raising
of sorghum appeared in The Observer
early in January, as will be remembered, since which time the item has
been copied extensively ~bp the press
of the state and by some ctf the traole
journals, urging the adoption of the
recomihend|ation.. Personal appeals
too have been offered urging that the
demand be pressed, that a good crop
may be raised during the coming
summer.
In advocating this enterprise the
writer is in earnest from two view
points: First, the country has readied a point where it is utterly out of
the question to secure an article of
molasses worthy of the name. While
the stuff tod|ay offered may have the
appearance and has in it a little
sweet, it is unfit to be called molasses
and much df it is unfit for use. It is
bitter, has a burnt taste, does not
produce results and when used with
certain other ingredients shows its
acid effect. The raising of sorghum
will tyring into use a molasses pure
and| clean, possessing both body and
quality and when used in cooking
will bring us back to those days when
molasses was molasses and took the
place of sugar in many ways.
From a secondi point we view the
sugar problem of the present, its
handicap and. the hardship of those
in charge of cooking to produce food's
required, in the home and elsewhere.
While it is not so much a matter of
the shortage of the sugar .crop as
claimed, it is a fact that poor management somewhere is blocking the
moving of it and the consumer must
thus suffer andi pinoh along with a
pound at a time. Could the country
put up a good crop of sorghum, much
of this sugar famine effect could] and
would; be at an end. Not that molasses would fill all requirements and
be suited to the coffee cup, it would
in a majority of cases take the place
of sugar- in the cooking of many
diishes where sugar is now required
so generally, simply tyeeause good
molasses cannot be had.
Reader, is there anything else attached! to this item? Is not only the
shortage of sugar, flour and other
commodities and the extreme high
prices o'f almost everything proving
an efficient lesson to the American
people in that they have for years
been living beyond reason, extravagantly and. unwisely, that they can
do and get along with much less of
the luxury class and) of some others
which may have seemed essentials,
at the same time you feel and get
along just as well?—the echo, yes.
Farmer and gard]ener, sound the
call, raise a little sorghum at least.
