There is andvalways i has been since the world began, she said. The theme came to her on her first. tr-ip to the West some years ago, where she arrived one V day i.n `April and found vast tracts of land alblazewith crocus bloom. She was a tenderfoot and the prairies spoke to her. They told her a great army of settlers had come who must be supplied with brawn and bread and at rst the prairies shrank from them.. '`I was not made for this, they said. There are other prairies, why must 1 die as a thing of beauty to live as a food supply?" But they heard" the call of sacrice and died that others might live. $0 the prairies were rended and crushed and bruised. and soon the reapers blade mowe_d long swaths of golden grain and on the day of sacrice huge stones crushed "even that into dis-solu.. tion to retain. the kernel of wheat. rice of the prairies, for our won- derful `wheat helt.. The people there seemed to be riding on the crest of prosperity and soon the West reached its zenith; Even in W.G.T.U. circles permeaterl this worldly spirit and talk of in- vestments and wheat landswas common -at. their meetings. In-- deed it was hard not to become imbibed with this spirit. Every- one was a millionaire or at least expected to be one tomorrow. In these pre-vs/ar days there was a very soul-lus_t forease; there was a shrinking from 'duty s -call be- though` uplifting. But quickly came the arrest; the war. Things soon changed and the `#story of their crushed` prairies made to become great reservoirs for food to them. Thepeople had been saved for greater things than just to be wealthy. It isn t houses, lands and. motors that make an Empire, but men and women who hear duty s call and hearing it heed it. Theyibecame auohler rice? Ah, surely so.
