LEND-A-HAND-TO i
WILSON LEAGUE'
URGED BY LANE,
— i
WASHINGTON', April 12.—Women
can do “a good f>0 per cent in lighting
the war,** in the opinion of Secretary
Lane, by conserving foot! and encour
aging patriotism among the men. He
sent this telegram tinlay in response
to a query from the General hedera
tion of Women’s Clubs in convention
at New Orleans, asking what women!
can do for the country:
“The women of America can do no
greater work at this time than to j
raise their own vegetables, can their
own fruit, prevent waste in their
homes and give impulse and enthusi
asm to the men of the land. H they
_ . .. _i m I
do this they will no uomg ;i gwu
per cent of the work fighting the wai
to a finish.
“Why not organize all the womens
dubs of the United States into a ‘lend
a hand to Wilson league,’ whose busi
ness it would be to carry on a propa-!
panda for the things the nation will
need—s oldiers. ships, what, pigs, and
heans? If the women also would make
it their business to let every farmer j
know that his patriotism is to be
judged by the use he makes of his j
land, and every railroad man know that
he is serving his country by moving
the nation's traffic quickly, and wil.
herself set* that the boys and girls
serve in a great maintenance corps of
'the nation by putting in their time
feeding the chickens, canning fruit
and vegetables, they can count them
selves among the saviors of liberie
and civilization, because this war
now has come down to a matter of
work and sacrilice.”

AGED MINISTER
STEALS BIBLE
TO BUY MEAL
LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 12.
An old man—79 years of age and a
minister of the gospel—turned thief
because he could withstand no longer
the gnawing pangs of hunger.
In his downfall he turned to the
best friend he had had in other days
when from his little pulpit in Eng
land he had urged salvation a Bible.
He stole a holy book that he might j
sell it for foot!.
A cell in the city jail holds him j
now anti petty larcency is the charge.,
The Rev. Percival P. Stone, who
says he once occupied a pulpit in a,
small hamlet in England, stood before
a First street lunch house craving
food. He had eaten nothing for twen
ty-four hours. His years made his
hunger hard to bear.
Once or twice he started to beg the
price of a sandwich and then his de
termination failed him. He sauntered
along. A bt>ok store at I* irst and
i « x l • IA_ ~
tsroauway caugru
moment his hunger was forgotten as
he stopped to look over some books
A bible caught his fancy. It was an
old-fashioned atTair, of the kind m
which family histories were written.
The old man slipped the ponderous
book beneath his coat and started out.
He was header! for the lunch hous«
when Detective King detained him.
At police headquarters he confessed,
tit* simply said that he was too old to
find work, that no one would empby
him. that he was hungry and that he]
had hoped to sell the book for food. |
He was sorry and he knew that it wrs
wrong.
They sent him to jail, but before
locking him up he sat down to the;
best meal he had eaten in many a day.
He refused to discuss his past further
than to say he had lost his church <
some years ago and had wandered
about ever since. He was unmarried,
he said.
