HOE YOUR OWN ROW.

think there are some maxims
Under the sun
Scarcely worth preservation;
But here, boys, is one
So sound and so simple.
'Tis worth while to know;
And all in the single line,
Hoe your own row !
If you want to have riches,
And want to have friends.
Don't trample the means down,
And look for the ends;
Eut always remember,
Wherever you 60,
The wisdom OF practicing,
Hoe your own roe
Don't just sit and pray
For increase of your store.
But work; who will help himself,
Heaven helps more.
The weeds while you're sleeping
Will come up and grow,
But il you must have the
Full ear, you must hoe
Nor will it do only
To hoe out the weeds,
You must make your ground mellow
And put in the seeds;
And when the young blade
Pushes through. you must know
There is nothing will strengthen
Its growth like the hoe
There's no use of saying
What will be, will be;
Once try it, my jackbrain.
And see what you'll see!
Why just small potatoes,
And few in row;
You d better take hold, then,
And honestly hoe
A good many workers
Fve known in my time
Some builders of houses,
Some builders of rhyme!
And they that were prospcred
Were prospered | know,
By the intent and meaning Of
Hoe your own row
I've known, too, good many

I've a right to my living,
The world owes me bread.

It Is clear from the dispatches that
the German armies are meeting severe
work in their attempted advance west
of the Mosslle. Although the French
continue to fall back as they fight, they
appear to be stubbornly e~ontesting

progress the Germans have made has
been at q heavy cost OF life. The pro-
.sressof the invading army Is far slower
and far more dearly purchased. His
