INTO THE BATTLE.

Grantland Rice In Golfers.
Into the battle the Trooper speeds
AS the bugles call and the drums
respond;
Into the fight as the captain leads
Where the low line waits on the hills
beyond:
Waits for the signal-then the crack
or blue steel trimmed with a crest of
flame,
And few ride back on the homeward track
Where many rode when the order came.
Into the battle the Trooper speeds.
Into the line where the rifle rings
But little the Trooper hears OF needs
The song of hate which the shrapnel
sings
The roar OF battle-the curse-the shout
The. crash and clamor OF friend and
foe
The rlderless horse that wheels about
And gallops past to the plains below.
For out from the smoke wreath. far
He hears the patter Of little feet;
The dim. far call of a child at play
With babyhood laughter, low and sweet;
The murmur OF voices, dream-swept far
From the little path to the cottage gate,
Where eagerly under the evening star
Mother and child in the twilight wait
Into the battle the Trooper speeds
lands
An echo drifts where a soft voice pleads
And the tender pressure of little hands;
A mothers lullaby from the night
And a call TO the Great White God In
prayer
That one will come from the far-off fight
To those who wait in the darkness there.

places II beyond reach of the consumer war

is the hope Of those responsible for Cleyeland's
municipal cold storage that Il Will prove OF
great benefit 20 the average householder by en-
abling him to take advantage of low price

We believe the scheme would be even more
feasible If. instead OF a central establishment,
a number OF neighboFhood plants were erected,
for It would certainly be more handy not TO have
to go more than two or three blocks to take
things out OF storage. II In addition an arti-
fetal ice factory would be made part Of the cold
storage plant, which could be done at small out
lay, the most difficult knot In the food supply
problem would be untangled.
