The  Peace  and  Comfort  Maker 
Statesmen  make  peace  through  diplomacy.  Some  men 
make  it  through  practising  the  Golden  Rule ;  others 
beat  it  out  with  a  club  or  a  sword.  The  old  man 
in  the  picture  is  making  both  peace  and  comfort  with 
a  bucksaw.  The  country  woman  who  must  depend 
on  green,  wet  or  even  uncut  wood  for  her  fuel  is  held 
in  constant  warfare  and  slavery.  There  can  be  no 
peace  and  comfort  in  her  house.  This  man  in  the 
picture  might  be  at  the  postoffice  or  blacksmith  shop 
telling  how  much  better  he  could  handle  the  war 
situation  than  President  Wilson  is  doing  it.  He  might 
be  sitting  inside  reading  his  paper,  but  instead  of 
working  his  ponderous  brain  over  the  larger  problems 
of  life  he  has  chosen  that  better  part  of  making  a 
woodpile.  He  is  a  peace  and  comfort  maker — a 
worthy  model  for  the  head  of  the  house !
