LITERARY LAPSES

Full many hours,
In fairy bowers,
I've wandered long with you;
Ger hills and dales
And lonesome trails
You've been my comrade true.
In days of bliss
And happiness
We've journeyed far and wide;
The nights serene,
The shine and sheen
Have found us side by side.
Through foreign lands,
Ger burning sands,
Our friendship ne'er has waned;
In dark and light,
In faint twilight,
From you I've solace gained.
When Life is done,
The race full run,
May your bright pages be
A source of light
That leads Alright
Into eternity.

B. A. Mutt, the poet, threatens to

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS
CLOSES THIS MONTH
(By Associated Press.)

London. July 26-Registration of
voters for the net General Election
in Great Britain-whenever that
may occur-closes this month.
Britons who are at home may con-
suit the registry lists which are
posted on doors Of chapels, churches
and public buildings throughout the
country, and may petition their
town clerk for the correction of any
omission or mistake.
But the thousands of men who are
fighting abroad or in training at
home, and who therefore cannot
safeguard their interests, are pro-
tected by a special wartime act Of
parliament. which provides that no
man lose his civic privileges through
serving his country as a volunteer.
Any other person may appeal in his
behalf for the correction of errors
in the lists, and so soldier may be
disqualified during his absence, on
the ground that his wife or family
has received assistance from the To-
cal poor-relief fund.
