A THOUGHT FOR
TODAY
The occurrences that
come to a man are the
fruit of his own char-
acter.—Emerson.
THE COST OF WAR
Twenty years ago the United
States declared war on Ger-
many. Our actual participa-
tion in the World 'War lasted
only a year and a half—from
the declaration of war on
April 6, 1917, to the Armistice
on November 11, 1918. That
brief activity on our part how-
ever, turned the tide, which
had been running against the
French and British and their
allies since August, 1914.
The human cost to America
of the war was a tollvf 50,476
soldiers and sailors hilled and
284,800 wounded. The dollar
cost has not yet been esti-
mated. We are still paying
for the war and will be for an-
other generation. Calvin Cool-
id ge once remarked that be-
fore we get through paying it
will have cost the people of
the United States a hundred
thousand million dollars. It
has cost us nearly two-thirds
of that sum already.
Our actual war expenditures
before the peace treaty was
signed were $26,250,000,000.
Since the end of the war this
country has spent another
$84,048,000,000 for expenses
growing out of the war. Twelve
billion dollars were loaned to
the Allied nations. Most of this
debt has not been repaid, and
little of it is likely to be paid.
Accumulated interest on these
loans already amounts to ten
billions.
Peace-time payments to
American soldiers and sailore,
who survived have amounted
to nearly 12 billion dollars in
sixteen years. No one can es-
timate how much higher they
may mount. These payments
are continuing. They include
disability benefits, death bene-
fits, military and naval insur-
ance payments, hospitalisa-
tion, vocational training, and
the bonus.
Only a small proportion of
these post-war costs has been
paid out of tax revenues. Most
of them have been paid with
borrowed money, the interest
on which comes out of taxes.
Eventually the bonds which
were sold by the Government
to raise money for these pur-
poses will have to be retired
out of tax revenues. But even
if the principal on these loans
is never repaid, it will cost the
people of the United States a
billion dollars a year forever
merely to pay the interest.
War is an expensive luxury,
any way one looks at it. But if
the liberties of a nation and Its
people are threatened, is any
price too high to preserve
them? That is the test by
which the cost of war must be
measured.
When Sir George Broad-
bridge. 'London's Lord Mayor,
recently opened a new razor
factory in Britain, he said:
"Did you know that each man
grows at least 250 inches of
hair on his face each day ar,d
that the daily growth on the
face of British manhood is 50,-
000 miles, over an area of 125
acres?”
The sea serpent, so often re-
ported by 'fishermen, is
thought to be nothing more
than the king herring, a rib-
boalike fish which reaches a
length of 20 to 30 feet

SEEDS
There's the radish and the okra and the
mustard and the beet.
The turnip, cabbage, carrot, and believe me
they’re good to eat;
Some beans and peas and roasting ears, to-
matoes, squash and cukes,
A meal composed of vegetables is fit for
Lords and Dukes.
Of course the most of these right now are a
little hard to get,
But buy some seeds and plant them, it’ll just
be a little bit*
Until you'll have the vegetables, and melons
on the vine,
And you can get just any seeds you want by
calling Number Nine.

Merry little brook, on whose banks I have often
dreamed and loafed’ is silenced now. The ice and
snow have stopped its music. It is cold and still.
The dancing waters are frozen up. The life and
sparkle are gone.
And then comes springtime and sunshine 1 What
a transformation! The little brook begins to sing
again as it flows over the rocks. It shimmers and
shines as it reflects the brilliancy of the sun. Soon
flowers bloom on its banks. Children come to wade
and shout and play. The sun has worked its magic!
Often lives, like the little brook, become frozen
up with fear, worry and despair. They lose their
music and sparkle. To play the part of the sun and
help thaw out those lives—what an adventure that
is! To melt negative thinking with the sunshine of
hope, cheer, courage and love. To increase the
sunny moments of all those who touch our lives:
This, too, is working magic! —Wilferd Peterson,
Editor, The Silver Lining.
